4 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 09/19/1999

I have had 3 out of 4 my rims bend (at speed from 40 - 55 mph), which claused flat tires. These rims are highly unreliable!!! please investigate!!! I have talked to other Sebring owners, and all have had the same problems!!!.

5 Wheel problem

All 4 wheels are bent on car from road pot holes. The rims are made from aluminum. They are to soft for the low profile good year tire that is on the car. Went the rim bends the tire belts break causing the car to vibrate. The goodyear tire that is on the car is the only 17 inch tire that fits the car. I have checked out many other Sebrings most of their rims are bent also. This is a very bad safty issue. I use my car to travel for my work.
