“My tires are in good shape but I keep getting notifications indicating I have low tires pressure. I got it checked out and the tires have the proper amount of air. Even after getting the sensors reset, I still get this notification. Now the TPMS stays on whether I'm traveling or just stationary.”

“On 2/19/2021 I was driving on the hwy and the car was losing power. I don't drive it that much so wasn't sure if it was just me. But as I pulled into a drive thru and was coming to a stop, the car was idling a little rough and the engine was ticking and lightly knocking. Also here is a list of continuing issues that we have had over the years since we bought the car brand new with like 12 miles on it. The rear passenger window has never worked. The radio bluetooth always had connectivity issues. Then the tire pressure warning light appeared and is still on. …”

“I have been driving my 2014 Kia Forte ex for almost 2 years now. Leased it brand new the day it landed on the lot. I only drive it to work and back as we have a 2014 Kia sorento we do all our family traveling in. I took the Forte to the dealership today as I was having issues with the bluetooth, the check engine light was on and there was a hollow tumbling sound coming from the rear of the car. Upon inspection the service associate informed me that the tires were tore up. …”

“While driving the vehicle I inadvertently hit a pothole. It was the coldest night of the year, -20 degrees. Hitting the pothole knocked the bead of my tire off the rim. I went into the trunk to get the spare tire out, and to my surprise. There was no spare tire!!!! There was a tire mobility kit . I attempted to use this, but it was to absolutely no avail. I called the roadside assistance number, after walking about 1/2 mile to get cell phone service (still -20 outside), I found out that the estimated time for roadside assistance was at least 90 minutes. …”

The oem tires are 16 inch nexen cp671 205/55r16 tires, and my vehicle currently has less than 23,000 miles on it.
