The sun visor no longer stayed in its position.

Hit a pot hole at 65 miles per hour on a bridge and tire blew out. Same thing happened 3 months ago except it blew out the tire and tore the rim when a pot hole was hit. When I finished changing the tire I looked up , and another dodge dart was behind me with the same front drivers side tire blown out , except her rim was torn . Dodge told me the tires have no warranty . There kumho tires .are pieces of crap .. Apparently .. I was told by my tire guy that they are cheap and have weak sidewalls ..there are many incidents of problems with these tires. I will call covert dodge in austin tomorrow to complain. Ill get 4 new michelin tires put on tomorrow. The car has 4000 miles on it. My first and last dodge. They don't care about the safety of there customers apparently !!!!
The first incident occurred after a commute home from work. My wife noticed a bulge in the kuhmo tire on her driver's side rear. The dealership replaced the tire at no cost. This happened at roughly 2000 miles. The second incident occurred on the commute home from work as well. This time the passenger side front tire exploded at 55 MPH sending my wife into a panic state as she attempted to slow the vehicle safely. This occurred at roughly 4400 miles. The dealership had to replace the rim and tire as the explosion ruined both. The third incident occurred today as she got out of her car at work she noticed the most recently replaced tire had a huge bulge in the side wall again. So I took the car to the dealership who informed me there was nothing more they could do. Kuhmo and chrysler have refused to solve this issue and we were forced to spend $700.00 on new tires so we could make a family trip this memorial day. We plan to seek legal advice on this issue and feel that neither chrysler or kuhmo take safety seriously.

The car started vibrating and shaking uncontrollably and then began to smoke. I had to stop it in the middle of the road and get it towed. Since we've purchased the car about 8 months ago, we've been in the dealership monthly for one issue or another (electrical, pieces falling apart, tire issues, splash guard issues, etc). It is a horrible car. No one cares when you contact customer service.
Traveling 30 MPH on road and noticed my right rear tire went flat. Tire store said it was a sidewall blowout and would have to replace it. I replaced it with same brand tire. 3 weeks later 2/16/2014 same exact thing happens to my right front tire. So being the car is new I wanted to keep the tires all the same brand. Tire store got me the same tire. The very next day that 1 day old tire sidewall blows out. These are kumho solus kh25 tires size m225/45/17. I called kuhmo USA and was told there is a recall on those exact tires with same dot numbers k2x5yal8 3411-2512. My dot numbers were k2x5yal8 with dates 4812, 0313, 0913. I was told that I didn't qualify for the recall and there was nothing they could do. I think there should be a recall on all of these kumho solus kh25 tires. They are junk! Not even lasting 1 day! I will not be buying kumho ever again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart equipped with kumho solus kh25 tires, line size: 225/45/r17 (dot k2x5yal8) . The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the front driver's side tire blew. Approximately three weeks later the front passenger's side tire. The contact stated that the side wall split, causing the blow outs. There was a recall under the federal safety agency campaign number: 13t004000 (tires) that could have been related to the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the tires did not fall within the date range of the aforementioned recall campaign. The tires were replaced. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage of the tires and vehicle was 1,200.
My 2013 dodge dart had a tire with less than 7000 miles on it bubble at the sidewall. This was found by the tire shop that (rightly) refused to re-install the tire. They did not have the model in stock, so I ended up buying 2 new to be safe on the road. Since the dealership determined it was a impact related damage, it is not covered by warranty and there is no road-hazard. The same model tire was recalled by kuhmo last year according to the forums. I do still have the old tire. The rest of the tire looks fine and has not been abused. Their reasoning was that if you cannot see it when deflated, then it was impact related, not manufacturing defect. I can find it either way.
One of my tire inflation sensors is bad because the warning in the dash shows 11-13 psi when the tire is at 32 like the other tires. I went to dealer but they just put nitrogen in tires and said its because of the cold.

The contact continued to drive to a safe location where she noticed that the front driver's side tire had exploded and the rear driver's side tire exhibited a bubble on the sidewall. The defective tires were in the process of being replaced with new tires. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 200.
