“I had bought 4 kumho ecsta lx platinum tires size 195/55r 15...one blew up after not even 2000 miles, I had it repaired but I had to pay because they said it was maybe something on the road, then now after not even 14000 miles the other 3 need replaced because they are completely wore out, and the one that I replaced is already half way bad...very, very bad tires...my mechanic sent them back but we will see if we will get any credit.”
NHTSA complaint #10446915, filed 2012-02, 45,000 miles“The door locks keep making a clicking noise even when the car is not started. Have to turn them off and on several times to make it stop but a few days later it happens again. I have 4 brand new tires and the tire sensor light keeps coming on. The front driver tire keeps losing air. Have had it checked and there is no leaks anywhere. They put air in and tire sensor light goes off but within 30 minutes the light comes back on.”
