Wheel Related Problems of the 2010 Ford Taurus

Wheel problem

The rim to my 2010 was bent for the secont time in the last four months. The first time I had to go to the dealer and get a new rim which was $860. The first time my wife was driving on a michigan road and tire lost pressure. When she stopped she noticed a leak and the rim was bent. She must have hit a pot hole but there was no noticable jaring of the vehicle. The second time was just this past weekend. I was driving down the highway and there was a small chunck of concrete that I could not avoid. It was nothing that was huge but bigger than a normal rock and big enought to notice while approaching it at 70 mph. When I hit this concrete the tire pressure sensor instantly when off. I pulled over and noticed that the rim was bent again. There is no reason that two rims should have bent from normal dirving conditions. My car is currently in the shop getting new rims and tires and I have had the car less than a year. I wanted to let other drivers know about this issue so they are not in the same boat as me.
