I OWN A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. I NOW HAVE 50K ON MY VEHICLE AND I AM GOING ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES. THE LAST SET OF TIRES I BOUGHT COST JUST UNDER $900.00. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES WITH ABOUT FIVE PHONE CALLS AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NO ONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED BUT NO CHANGES WERE MADE BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS WITHIN SPECS. JUST HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO CHECK SUSPENSION AND AGAIN TO FIND THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. BUT YET I AM WEARING THE INSIDES OFF OF MY TIRES ABOUT EVERY 20K. THERE HAS TO BE A FIX FOR THIS BUT HYUNDAI TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS PROB HAS TO BE KNOWN ABOUT BECAUSE IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

I HAVE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THAT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET ON THE TRAILER HITCH, AND SINCE I HAD THE VEHICLE AND STARTED DRIVING IT I HAVE TOLD THE CAR DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE TPMS THAT THE ICON HAS BEEN ON AND EVEN HAVING IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES IT WON?T STAY OFF WHEN I DRIVE I GET WEIRD PULLING EVEN AFTER HAVING AN ALIGNMENT DONE. I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY AND NEED TO KNOW IS THIS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT! I DID CHECK THE VIN IT ONLY SHOWS THE RECALL FOR THE RECALL INCOMPLETE FOR THE TRAILER HITCH WIRING RECALL NUMBER 085 NHTSA NUMBER 08E055000, VIN NUMBER [XXX]! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS AT [XXX] I LEASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY THEY DIDN'T LET ME KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL BUT SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY DAUGHTER VEHICLE WHEN SHE CHECKED I CHECK FOR MINE AS WELL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

P235/60R18 ON HYUNDAI SANTA FE LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND WE HAD TO REPLACE TWO TIRES DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR .......... NOW WE RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE THAT TIRES ARE AFFECTED BY INCORRECT TIRE PRESSURE LABEL. DO WE HAVE ANY RECOURSE? WE EXPECTED TIRES TO LAST MUCH LONGER ON THIS CAR!!!! *TR

EVENTS LEADING TO FAILURE ARE NOT KNOWN FOR SURE. SUPPOSEDLY I HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD SUCH AS A POTHOLE, THAT DAMAGED BOTH TIRES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE DID INDICATE THAT WE DID HIT A POTHOLE IN THE PARKING LOT, I DO NOT REMEMBER THIS. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE WAS NO DRAMATIC EVENT THAT LED TO THE FAILURE OF THESE NEW TIRES. THE FAILURE WAS FRONT TIRE WAS SCUFFED ON THE SIDEWALL AND A LEAK WAS CREATED WHERE THE SIDEWALL AND THREAD MEET. THE REAR TIRE RECEIVED A CUT ABOUT 3/4 OF AN INCH LONG PERPENDICULAR TO THE TIRE IN THE THREAD THAT IS NEXT TO THE SIDEWALL. THE CORRECTION IS THAT I AM BUYING A NEW SET OF TIRES FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER. *TR
