“On 12/30/2015, the tire pressure light on my 2010 Hyundai Sonata went on. I took the car on 12/31/2015 to discount tire for the tires to be checked. The tech discovered the sidewalls on all 4 tires were severely cracked. The front tire on the drivers side had a 5-6 long crack which was a 1/2 deep. The front passenger tire had a v shaped crack approx. 2 long on each side and approx. 1/4 deep. Both of the rear tires had visible cracks. The tech said it was not safe to drive the car & all 4 tires needed to be replaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #10819538, filed 2016-01, 33,000 miles“I bought a 2010 Hyundai Sonata with 10k miles on it the end of march 2011. The tires on the vehicle were hankook optimo h 426. After I had put less than 10k additional miles on the vehicle, I had one of the tires bulge and implode from within. Within the month following this 2 more tires bulged on the sidewall and were replaced. The tires were all in different spots on my vehicle and it was three separate incidents. Neither the Hyundai dealership nor hankook tires would take responsibility for this defect in the tires.”
