| Description of the problem | I have owned this vehicle for 2. 5 years. Since may of 2013 i have had to replace three wheels (rims). It has gotten to the point where they are so hard to locate i have had to purchase after market wheels. Once the crack was rather large and the last two were noticed when i replaced the tires on the vehicle. They were smaller and eventually would not hold air in the tire. This has to be a flaw in the product. |
