NHTSA Complaint #10087050 — 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A DEFECT OF THE RIMS ON MY MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT 2000. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR [4] YEARS (ORIGINAL OWNER). I HAVE REPLACED [3] RIMS AND I AM NOW ABOUT TO REPLACE A 4TH. THE RIMS BEND EASILY WHILE DRIVING. ON ALL INSTANCES THE RIMS HAVE BENT IN THE COURSE OF NORMAL CITY DRIVING. JUST RECENTLY, (LAST WEEK) I NOTICED THAT THE RIM ON THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE, AS IN THE OTHER INCIDENTS) IS BENT. I DO NOT RECALL HITTING ANYTHING OR DOING ANYTHING UNUSUAL THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE RIM TO BEND. ON THE FIRST THREE OCCASIONS WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE I COMPLAINED THAT THERE HAD TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE RIMS. I NEVER RECEIVED I SATISFACTORY ANSWER. I EVEN REQUESTED THAT THEY CHANGE THE RIMS, BECAUSE I ONLY HAD THE CAR ONE WEEK WHEN THE FIRST RIM WAS BENT. I BELIEVE THEY ARE HAZARDOUS!*JB
