1 Wheel Rim problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2006

In April of 2006, I kept noticing my right front tire losing air. I kept having to put 15 lbs. Every other day in it. I had a friend check the tire and stem and found no problems with them. As this continued, I finally took it to a tire repair shop and found out that my rim was cracked. This could have caused a fatal accident as I was traveling back and forth 350 miles each week with my daughter and grandson aboard. I had to purchase a new rim for $100 and still have the old rim in my possession. I see that I'm not the only one that has had problems with this problem so please advise on the procedure for reimbursement of this rim.

The consumer stated that three out of four rims have cracked without warning. As a result the tires leaked air. The consumer was concerned that he will experience a blow out while driving. The cause has yet to be determined. Please provide additional information.
