WHEELS:RIM
I NOTICED A VERY LARGE DENT IN MY WHEEL WHILE WASHING MY CAR. I HAVE NEVER HIT ANYTHING BEFORE & I WAS WONDERING WHY SUCH A LARGE DENT IN MY RIM WOULD HAVE OCCURRED WITH NO DAMAGE TO MY TIRE. HOWEVER, MY RIM IS DENTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT MY TIRE BARELY HOLDS THE AIR IN IT. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR FEAR THAT MY TIRE WILL EXPLODE OFF OF MY WHEEL. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW A HEAVY,METAL RIM COULD HAVE BENT SO FAR & NOT PUNCTURED MY TIRE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? THIS IS VIRTUALLY A BRAND NEW CAR FOR ME & I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I SEE NO REASON TO PAY ALL OF THIS MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT AT ALL SAFE TO DRIVE. *AK

MY 6 SPOKE MITSUBISHI RIMS ARE DENTED FROM NORMAL DRIVING IN THE CITY. THEY BECAME DENTED WHEN I HAD HIT MNOR POTHOLES GOING AT 20MPH OR SLOWER. I HAVE TALKED TO THE MITSUBISHI HOTLINE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD BE REPLACED BUT FOR $250. I DONT BELIEVE I SHOULD PAY THISAS I BELIEVE IT IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE.*AK
