Consumer Description

DEFECTIVE ALLOY WHEELS ON MY 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT: MY CAR HAS MERELY 16,000 MILES IN OVER 3 YEARS OF USE AND 3 OF THE 4 WHEELS ARE SLIGHTLY BENT TO NOTICABLY BENT. I WAS WALKING AROUND MY CAR WITH SOMEONE WHEN HE NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT BEND IN ONE OF THE RIMS. THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL IS OBVIOUSLY BENT AND VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE REGULARLY MAINTAINED THE AIR PRESSURE IN MY TIRES TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM, YET IT HAS HAPPENED ANYWAY. THE WHEELS ARE UNACCEPTABLE.
