| Description of the problem | The first incident of our tires exploding happened on march 18 while driving along an empty street. The car jumped a curb and spun. The tires ending up having to be replaced, the suspension was damaged and had to be fixed and the rims were also damaged. Due to my husbands fast reaction he fortunately did not hit another vehicle. Yesterday, 5/21/15 will be the second time his tires explode except this time it is on the opposite side from the two previously repaired. What is going on with these tires?! These tires are horrible. I have a small child and god forbid my child is in the vehicle when this happened or if it happens again. Something needs to be done. I will never again purchase a lease a hyundai or recommend this vehicle to friends and family! |
