Description of the problem | I have had 3 tire pressure monitor stems crack and disappear into the tire causing a flat at 3 separate occasions. The first time was at 38,000 miles, the last 2 were at 76,000 and within a week of each other. I called kia but they stated i have to have kia examine them. The first time kia told me that this just happens and charged me $200. I went to mavis tire the 2nd time and they replaced it for $83. I called kia today after the 3rd time and they told me to go to the dealer. |
