While driving on a local street (under 30 miles an hour), I lost control of my vehicle and the tire exploded. I tried to regain control and the car jumped the curb. My daughters and I was shaken up really bad. Had I been on the high way it would have been a completely different story. I have the dealership investigating it now.
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Dart equipped with kumho solus KH25 tires, size: 225/45R17. While driving 30 mph, the tires began to vibrate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing, where it was confirmed that the belt failed, the front driver side tire blew out, and the passenger side tire developed a blister. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The tire failure mileage was 7,796 and the vehicle failure mileage was 11,000.
The front right tire developed a large bubble in the sidewall with no indication of impact damage. Was replaced out of pocket after two Chrysler dealerships said Chrysler would not cover the tire no matter what. I still have the defective tire and the dot numbers if requested. It was a kumho solus 225/55/17.
Bought new car, was driving it home off the lot and within 10 miles front passenger side tire completely blew out on highway driving 65 mph. Tread was completely separated from sidewall. Dealer replaced free of charge. Car was brand new less than 130 miles on odometer.

Hit a very small rock, approximately the size of two golf balls, going about 43 mph. My kumho solus KH25 tire of my 2014 Dodge Dart blew out upon impact with this very small rock. Caused a blowout on the sidewall of the tire. I feel like that was not enough to cause a blowout. I feel unsafe on the roads with these tires that Dodge has put on the vehicle. I only have 1400'miles on the car. Obviously I will have to replace my tire and I feel like these tires aren't very safe.
