2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH CONSUMER PUT THE VEHICLE IN CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED VEHICLE REVVED, AND PICKED UP SPEED. CONSUMER CHECKED THE VEHICLE, AND FOUND THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL VACUUM PUMP HOSE WAS THE PROBLEM. DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION.*AK

THE REAR DEFROSTER FELL OFF INTO THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND REAR WINDOW EXPLODED, SENDING GLASS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.*AK

6 BLOWOUTS 4 RIMS ALL ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE THERE ARE SCRATCHES ALL ALONG THE DRIVERS SIDE BY THE TIRE. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOESN'T ALIGN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE 2ND DAY I FINANCED THE CAR.AND I FOUND OUT THAT MY STRUT WAS BLOWN WHICH MAY OF CAUSED ALL THE SCRATCHES. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS MY FAULT BUT I HAVE A PICTURE TO PROOF THOSE SCRATCHES WERE THERE THE 2ND DAY I HAD THE CAR. I JUST HAD ANOTHER BLOWOUT THIS MORNING ABOUT A FOOT AWAY FROM ENTERING THE HIGHWAY.INCIDENT FROM 10/2001-TO TODAY. *AK

ON A 2 OCCASSIONS, ON MY 2001 ECLIPSE, THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS ON BOTH SIDES WERE MELTED FROM SOME KIND OF ARCING. ALSO THE FUEL DOOR BROKE AND WAS RUSTED CONSIDERABLY FROM JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.*AK

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE VIBRATED.*AK

I TOO HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH RIMS AND TIRES. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 TIRES AND 1 RIM ALREADY. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR NOW OVER 65 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE. I AM OFTEN SCARED TO GO OVER 50 DUE TO THAT FACT THAT I FEAR MY TIRES WILL BLOW.*AK

RIM BENT EASILY AFTER HITTING POTHOLE. *AK

I READ THE NEWS STORY ON THE WEBSITE FOR 7 ON YOUR SIDE ABOUT THE DEFECTIVENESS OF THE METAL ALLOY RIMS FOR THE '1997 THROUGH 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE RIMS AND WANTED TO GO ON RECORD WITH YOU AS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME RIMS ON MY ECLIPSE. NOT ONLY ARE THEY A CAUSE OF MUCH HEADACHE AND FINANCIAL DRAIN ION THIER OWNERS BUT ALSO THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AND THIS SHOULD BE RECTIFIED.*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND THE KEY WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. CONSUMER NOTICED BLACK SMOKE AND LARGE FLAMES. UNDETERMINED CAUSE. DEALER NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *PH

WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH TWO FRONT TIRES BLEW OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. FIRESTONE, AFFINITY, P19565R15. *AK

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE ALLOY RIM ON MY 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT WAS BENT AND CRACKED FROM SIMPLY HITTING A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. THIS CAUSED MY TIRE TO RAPIDLY DEFLATE AND THE RIM UNABLE TO BE USED. *LA

THE FIRST WEEK OF BUYING THE CAR I NOTICED A LITTLE SCRATCH BY THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. THEN I STARTED HEARING LITTLE SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN I WAS REVERSING COMING FROM THE SAME LEFT TIRE. THEN I NOTICED THE RIM WAS BENT I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID I WAS HITTING CURBS & ROAD HAZARD. MONTHS LATER THE SCRATCH AT THE BOTTOM BY THE FOG LIGHTS WAS GETTING BIGGER AND DEEP THE TIRE KEPT LOSING AIR AND THOSE SPRINGING SOUND NOISES I STILL HEARD. MAKE THE LONG STORY SHORT IT IS 2 YEARS LATER THE DEEP GASHES FROM THE LEFT FRONT TIRE IS NOW ALL THE WAYAROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE FOG LIGHTS ALMOST REACHING THE MIDDE.I WENT THRU 2 TIRES NO BLOW OUTS THANK GOD 3 RIMS AND ONE WAS A REPLACEMENT THE TIRE KEEPS LEAKING AIR THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR ITS ALL THE LEFT FRONT. I SPOKE TO THE MANUFACTUER OF MITSHUBSHI THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS THEY SAID ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE .DON'T BLOWOUTS HAPPEN DUE TO BENT RIMS? THEY NOTICED ITS ONLY HAPPENING IN CERTAIN STATES THAT CERTAIN STATES ROAD CONDITIONS ARE BAD. ALL STATES HAVE POTHOLES BUT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING 15 MPH, HIT A POTHOLE ,& YOUR RIM BENDS CAUSING YOUR TIRE TO LEAK AIR SOMETHING WRONG. THESE RIMS ARE CONSTANTLY BENDING BUT ON MY CAR IT S ONLY THE LEFT SIDE. ITS UNSAFE, BECAUSE WHEN I HIT A POTLHOLE IT MAKES A LOUD BANGING NOISE EVEN MY BRAKE PEDAL SHAKES. IF I KNEW ALL THESE COMPLAINTS I WOULD OF NEVER BOUGHT THIS CAR NOW I KNOW ITS NOT ME BUT THE WAY THESE CHEAP SOFT WHEELS WERE MADE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DON

WHILE ACCELERATING ON AN ON RAMP TO GET ONTO INTERSTATE 84 IN CONNECTICUT, I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE IN THE ROAD AND IT MAJORLY BENT THE WHEEL AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO COME OFF OF THE WHEEL. THIS HAPPENED IN THE NIGHT AND ON A STRETCH OF THE HIGHWAY THAT HAD NO SHOULDER. I HAD TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY A MILE ON THIS BLOWN OUT TIRE AND WHEEL TO THE NEXT EXIT. THE FAILURE OF THIS WHEEL COST ME $350 (FOR THE WHEEL) AND ANOTHER $150 (FOR THE TIRE) PLUS LABOR CHARGES. NO MENTION OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE WHEELS WAS MENTIONED WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER.

THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE RIM KEEPS BENDING, WHICH CAUSES A FLAT TIRE. I BOUGHT 3 RIMS ALREADY. ALWAYS WITH IN A WEEK THE RIM IS BENT. THE CAR MAKES A NOISE FROM THE FRONT END COMING FROM THE LEFT TIRE AND THERE ARE DEEP SCRATCH MARKS ON THE LOWER FRONT BY THE TIRE. AT SPEEDS OF 15-20 MILES AN HOUR IF I HIT A POTHOLE THE RIM BENDS AND THE WHOLE THING SHAKES EVEN WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE THE BRAKE PEDAL SHAKES BAKE AND FORTH. IF I KNEW THE RIM WOULD BE LIKE THIS AND I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS TROUBLE OF TIRES AND RIMES COSTING $300.00 I WOULD OF NEVER BOUGHT THIS CAR.AFTER I HIT THE POT HOLE THE CAR START STEERING TO THE LEFT. AND THE SCRATCHES ON THE BOTTOM BY THE LEFT TIRE KEEP GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER AND DEEPER

HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE KEEP GOING OFF WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WHETHER I HIT A SLIGHT OR MAJOR BUMP IN THE ROAD. I PULLED THE PLUG FROM THE BACK OF THE HEADLAMPS AND FOUND THE ACTUAL PLUG AND LEAD WIRES WERE MELTED, MAKING CONTACT. I TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY SEPARATING THE TOUCHING WIRES WHERE THE INSULATION HAD MELTED AND THE HEADLIGHT CONTACTS WERE TOUCHING. LIGHTS STILL GO OUT UNPREDICTABLY. *JB

THIS IS A MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE 2001. THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS FOR THE FIRST 2 YEARS. #1. CLUTCH FLUID COMPLETLY LEAKED OUT. CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. #2. MASTER BRAKE CYLIINDER WAS LEAKING AND REPLACED. #3. PCM CHIP REPLACED. #4. WINDOW MOULDINGS FOR FRONT AND BACK WINSHIELDS HAVE COME OFF.*AK

I OWN A 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. I HAVE 54000 MILES ON THIS CAR. ON APRIL 16, 2003, I HAD MY THIRD FLAT TIRE (2 OF THEM HAVE BEEN BLOW OUTS). ALL THREE (AS TOLD BY GOODYEAR) WERE CAUSED BY BENT RIMS. TWO OF THE BENDS WERE VERY NOTICEABLE AND EACH OCCURRED WITH REGULAR DRIVING. I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING ON A TIME BOMB. EVEN WITH MINOR BENDS, AIR RELEASES FROM THE TIRE. I CHECK MY PRESSURE EVERY WEEK, BUT STILL TO NO AVAIL. FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT MITSUBISHI APPEARS TO BE IGNORING. *JB

THE VEHICLES FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BENT. DEALER NOTIFIED. *NLM

A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD AS IF RUNNING OVER A LARGE OBJECT IN THE ROAD. HOWEVER INSPECTION REVEALED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL RIM HAD A LARGE DENT. THE TIRE WAS NOT DAMAGED BUT HAD BEEN KNOCKED OFF ITS BEAD DUE TO THE DAMAGE TO THE RIM. *TT *JB

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT RIM BENT, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRE TO LOSE AIR.*JB

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN RT. 135, COINCIDENTALLY PASSING A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP, AROUND 7:15 IN THE EVENING. THERE WAS PRETTY HEAVY RAINFALL, SO I MADE SURE TO STAY AROUND 25 MILES/HR. AS I PASSED THE DEALERSHIP I HEARD A THUNDEROUS BOOM FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR. I MADE IT BACK TO MY HOUSE (WHICH IS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY). WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR, I FOUND THE FRONT OF MY FRONT RIGHT RIM BENT, AND THE INSIDE OF THE RIM WAS MISSING AN 8 INCH CHUNK OF METAL NEAR THE SEAL. I TOOK IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY ONLY TO HEAR THEM TELL ME THAT DAMAGE WAS NORMAL IN REGULAR ROAD CONDITIONS. THE ONLY OPTION I WAS GIVEN WAS TO BUY A NEW RIM (AT ABOUT $350). THIS WAS EVEN WITH THE EXTENDED 100,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE.

2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GS, RIMS HAVE EITHER A STRESS FRACTURE OR BENT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE TYPE OF RIMS ARE 16 INCHES, TEN SPOKE AND ARE THE ALUMINIMUM ALLOY TYPE. TRYING TO WORK WITH MITSUBISHI AS THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX PROBLEM.

WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHEEL.*JB

TWO OF MY MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE (2001) 17" SIX-SPOKE RIMS BENT, ONE TO THE POINT OF FAILURE, WHEN I CONTACTED A POT-HOLE AT LOW SPEED.

THERE IS A FOUL ODOR COMING THRU THE VENTS WHEN HER HEAT IS ON. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT FIND OUT WHERE THE SMELL IS COMING FROM. PH

I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE EQUIPPED WITH 17 INCH ALLOY WHEELS, GOING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM THE RIGHT FRONT AREA. IT WAS AFTER DARK AND THE CAR SEEMED TO HANDLE OKAY SO I PROCEEDED ON BUT AFTER A SHORT DISTANCE I HEARD A SIMILAR BANG. I PULLED OVER AND FOUND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL RIM WAS GREATLY DEFORMED AND THE TIRE KNOCKED OFF THE BEAD. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND PROCEEDED HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I INSPECTED THE ROAD THE FOLLOWING DAY IN ANOTHER VEHICLE AND DROVE OVER THE SAME ROUGH SPOTS AND BARELY NOTICED THEM. THERE WERE NO SIGNIFIGANT POT HOLES IN THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THAT A WHEEL THAT WILL FAIL SO EASILY IS A HAZARD. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND STRUCK A HOLE IN THE ROAD I BELIEVE THE TIRE WOULD HAVE GONE FLAT IMMEDIATELY AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST.

I HAVE 17 INCH ALLUMINUM WHEELS ON A 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING RIMS BEND AND TIRES LOOSE AIR RESULTING IN WEAKEN TIRES AND BLOWW OUT UNDER NORMA DRIVING CONDITIONS. NOT SAFE. MUST CHECK TIRE PRESSURE DAILY. METAL USED IS SOFT AND ALLOWS SPACE BETWEEN TIES AND RIMS. TIRES FAIL. ONE TIRE BLEW ON HIGHWAY DUE TO SIDEWALL FAILURE POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM TO ME AND PUBLIC. RIMS ARE TOO SOFT.

CONSUMER STATED THE ALLOY RIMS ARE MADE OF EXTREMELY SOFT METAL THAT BENDS EASILY WHICH OCCURS DURING ORDINARY DRIVING CONDITIONS AND ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE RIMS. SCC *JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH HAD FRONT END COLLISION AND NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NLM

MY WHEEL BENT WHEN I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE WHILE TRAVELING AT 35MPH. THE TIRE WILL NO LINGER HOLD AIR.

I HAD A HEADON COLLISON INTO A DITCH GOING APOX. 30 -35 MILES A HOUR. I HAD EXTENSIVE FRONTEND DAMAGE AND SOME REAREND DAMAGE.MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AT 70 MPH WHEN INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION ENGINE FLEW OUT OF VEHICLE AND NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. MR

I WAS DECELERATING AND WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 20 MPH. A DODGE DURANGO TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MPH REAR ENDED ME. THE SEAT BACK BROKE AND WAS IN A RECLINED POSITION AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DT

THE OWNER HAD NOTICED ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY, THE TIRES WERE MEASURED WITH A METER TO DETERMINE EXCESSIVE WEAR. TS *TT *JB

ALSO I FOUND SHATTERED GLASS UNDER THE REAR SEATS, WHICH APPEARS TO BE REAR WINDSHIELD GLASS. MY CAR ALWAYS PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND MY RIGHT SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. DT

NO SUMMARY.

WHILE SITTING IN PARKING LOT REAR WINDOW BROKE INTO MILLIONS OF PIECES. MR

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED IN CONVERTABLE TOP AT 15 MPH AFTER NORMAL ACCELEORATION FROM 0 MPH. WE WERE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES OR PERSONS PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE OR REAR OF VEHICLE. WE WERE IN A SMALL LINE OF TRAFFIC, 4 PASSENGER CARS FROM OUR POSITION TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. OTHER PROBLEMS NOTED BY MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP BEFORE REAR WINDOW GLASS FAILURE ARE EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT/POPPING OF REAR GLASS AT SPEEDS OF 50+ MPH. PULLING/STRETCH MARKS IN FABRIC OF TOP AROUND REAR WINDOW GLASS, FABRIC HAD BEGUN TO "SHRINK" UPWARDS ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE OF TOP ABOVE FRONT WINDOWS EXPOSING INTERIOR OF TOP. UPON INSPECTION OF THE ITEMS BY MITSUBISHI DEALER THEY CONSIDERED ALL OF THE ABOVE ITEMS NORMAL WEAR ON CONVERTABLE TOP. MITSUBISHI DENIED WARRANTY CLAIM SAYING THAT "WINDOW GLASS DOES NOT JUST BREAK ON IT'S OWN". MR

THE FACTORY RIMS THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE UPON PURCHASE ARE DESCRIBED BY THE OWNER AS "BUTTER". ALUMINUM IS TOO SOFT TO HANDLE NORMAL ROAD DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE RIMS BENT AND TWO OF THE TIRES HAD BLOWOUTS. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *MR

I AM REPORTING TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS, BOTH INVOLVING THE QUALITY OF THE MANUFACTURER'S RIMS ON THE 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT. I HAVE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO DENT BOTH THE RIGHT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR RIM ON MY NEW 2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF DRIVING (ODOMETER READ LESS THAN 3600 MILES AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT). I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 1997 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GST I PURCHASED NEW WITHOUT ANY RIM ISSUES AND TRADED IN AFTER 45,000 MILES FOR THE NEW ECLIPSE. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT A STOP LIGHT DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH. I DROVE TOO CLOSE TO A CURB AND MY FRONT TIRE HIT A POTHOLE. THE TIRE INSTANTLY DEFLATED, AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE ACTUAL TIRE, HOWEVER THE RIM WAS BENT IN AT LEAST 2-3 INCHES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY, SO MY COST FOR A NEW RIM WAS AROUND $300, AND THEN THE DEALER STATED THAT I HAD TO GO ELSEWHERE TO HAVE TIRE AND RIM INSTALLED BECAUSE THEIR TIRE MACHINE WAS BROKEN! TOTAL COST OF THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS APPROXIMATELY $320. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURED ONLY A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, BUT I AM STILL NOT SURE HOW OR WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURED. THE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT REAR RIM IS SUBSTANTIALLY LESS AS I AM STILL DRIVING ON THIS RIM TODAY. (THE RIGHT REAR RIM IS DENTED LESS THAN 1/4 INCH AND THERE WAS NO EFFECT ON THE TIRE OR THE STEERING.) NEITHER MY DRIVING SKILLS NOR THE DRIVING CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED SINCE OWNING THE PREVIOUS ECLIPSE TO MERIT THOSE REASONS AS FACTORS

AT 5,000 MILES, THE MANUFACTURED RIMS BEGAN TO COLLAPSE, CAUSING ONE OF THE RIMS TO BEND, AND CAUSING THE TIRE TO BLOWOUT. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING WHEN SHE HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT AND THAT THE RIM WAS DEFORMED. *SCC

AT 4,000 MILES RIMS BEGAN COLLAPSING, NOT RETAINING AIR, BENT EASY. THESE ARE MANUFACTURED RIMS THAT CAME WITH VEHICLE UPON PURCHASE. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *AK

CONSUMER STATES WHILE HE WAS CLEANING HIS VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE WHEELS WERE BENT, AFTER TAKING THEM TO THE DEALER HE WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE WHEEL ARE STILL DRIVEABLE. NLM

RIMS WERE DEFECTIVE. CONSUMER ADVISED THAT RIMS BEND VERY EASILY AND ADVERSELY, AFFECTING STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ALL FOUR RIMS BENT WITHOUT BEING HIT.IT WAS CAUSED BY MATERIAL THAT RIMS WERE MADE, BEING SO FLIMSY.COMMON PROBLEM. DEALER CONTACTED.*AK

RIMS ARE BENT AND CRUMBLING, MY TIRE CONTINUOUSLY LOSES AIR/ ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THIS DEFECT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, IF VEHICLE HITS A POTHOLE IT WILL BEND THE RIMS. CONTACTED DEALER.*AK ALL FOUR RIMS BENT. THE DAY CONSUMER PURCHASED VEHICLE ONE OF THE RIMS WERE BENT SO BAD THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER OFFERED NO SOLUTION AND COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY THEY WOULDN'T STOP RECOMMENDING RIMS THAT HAVE A KNOWN PROBLEM. *JG

VEHICLE HIT A POTHOLE AND FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE RIM BENT. RIMS SHOULD NOT BEND UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *AKJLG

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO DEALER ON A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND DEALER NOTICED TWO RIMS WERE BENT. CAUSE UNKNOWN.*AK
