| Description of the problem | My vehicle had 9,000 miles on it and is driven in moderation. One of the rims needed to be replaced because it was cracked - the other 3 are bent. Within 1,500 mile, i have learned that the replaced rim is now also bent. I am concerned about the vehicle's saftey while driving at freeway speeds - the car shakes. The manufacturer refuses to replace the wheels stating no defects or recalls have been issued. |
