THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAS BLOWN OUT TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR. THE CAR WAS PARKED, AND WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING THE LOW TIRE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER STOPPING TO GET AIR I DISCOVERED THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT, AND I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A FLAT TIRE. BOTH TIMES THE RIM WAS ALSO BENT AND HAD TO BE SENT TO A SHOP TO REPAIR IT (MORE MONEY AND MORE TIME AWAY FROM MY CAR AND PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR). IT WAS THE SAME EXACT SITUATION BOTH TIMES. I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR RUN OVER ANYTHING. IN TOTAL, THIS IS THE FOURTH OR FIFTH TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS TIRE DURING THE DURATION OF THE CAR'S LIFE, AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN DUE TO HITTING ANYTHING OR RUNNING OVER ANYTHING. IT JUST MYSTERIOUSLY HAPPENS. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN OCT 2012 AND THERE ARE CURRENTLY ABOUT 57000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE IN TERMS OF COST AND TIME, BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, I CONSTANTLY FEAR AND DREADFULLY ANTICIPATE THE NEXT TIME I WILL HAVE A FLAT AND NEVER FEEL COMPLETELY SAFE WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THE USE OF 17" WHEELS ON THIS CAR IS NOT APPROPRIATE, AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO, AS NO ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY HELP FROM HYUNDAI. THANK YOU. *TR
