2012 Dodge Dart Tires Problems

“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.”

“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 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.

I do still have the old tire. The rest of the tire looks fine and has not been abused. …”

“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. …”
