Tires › Tread/Belt
Filed Apr 3, 2024AZ
The component that has failed has been the tread wearing out and as well as the 'layers' of the tire literally started to peel almost the size of a quarter. I am extremely uncomfortable to drive on the highway, knowing these tires are this early on starting to fall apart. The problem was confirmed by a dealer however neither the dealer or KUMHO wants to accept responsibility. These specific tires are meant for 6 years or 70k miles and this problem started around 29k miles. There were no warning lamps/ they have not been inspected by anyone as they claim it is not their problem, however last time I checked that is what warranties are meant for. I am displeased by the tires and will not pay for new ones knowing that these are prematurely falling apart.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
