Consumer stated that all four rims were bent, and front two tires leaked. The dealer in consumer's area closed down, and there was no contact with the manufacturer.
Rims will easliy bend. Also, when consumer is driving at high speeds, tires will start to wobble. Contacted dealer. Mitsubishi dealer denies claim.
My rims are two-piece and have had 3 bent rims and 3 blowouts due to these rims. This is compounded by the fact that the gt tires are low-profile. These rims are easily dented, the clear coating peeled off after a short period of time. I have all the documentation and have had meetings with jeff ney at max madsen. I have pictures of all bent rims that I can fax or e-mail to you as well.
Aluminium rims are bent, causing the tires to go flat. Front right tire went flat while parked. The consumer stated that the front tire went flat while driving.
Two tires on two different occasions had blown out, and rims had to be replaced. Unable to drive vehicle over bumpy roads while other vehicles could be driven without a problem. Technician at dealer told consumer that rims were low profile, and low in quality. Had to pay for other rims.
I have had four incidents of the rims bending during normal driving conditions, including two blowouts of the front tires at highway speeds as a result of the rims being bent out of shape. I produced four receipts of the repairs which I payed for to the dealer in mid January. They had a district regional manager look at my case and then declined to reimburse me for the damage,I do know that there is a class action law suit in progress for this very reason and I still have yet to receive my original receipts as well as a copy of the report that was declined by the dealer. I was told numerous times by the service manager that the papers would be mailed to me but that was over four weeks ago, and now they are lost in the mail. I would like an explanation of why a safety concern such as this can just be dismissed with no reason when hundreds if not thousands of people are having the same problem please get back to me on this matter, thank you ,stephen weir.
