2 Tire Bubble problem of the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Failure Date: 07/01/2001

On my 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse gt, all four 17" rims became bent. This created bubbling in tires, improper tire wear, and difficulty in wheel alignment. Rims were bent during normal driving; potholes were not cause of damage. Replaced tires and rims. Manufacturer has not done anything to remedy problem in existing vehicles. New vehicles no longer come with this type of rim.
