Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TWO SEPARATE TIMES NOW WHEN I HAVE HIT POTHOLES THAT RESULTED IN A BEND IN MY RIM. THE FIRST TIME ALL THE AIR WAS LET OUT DUE TO IT BREAKING THE SEAL ON THE TIRE. I WAS LEFT STRANDED FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE HELP ARRIVED TO HELP ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER. THE SECOND TIME WAS ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE AND NOW THE AIR SLOWLY LEAKS OUT EVERYDAY AND BEFORE I CAN GO ANYWHERE I MUST REAIR MY TIRE. I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT RIM THE FIRST TIME SINCE THEY SAID IT WAS UNREPAIRABLE. THIS TIME I AM FILING A COMPLAINT WITH MY CITY SINCE IT IS THE SAME POTHOLE AGAIN THAT THEY DIDN'T CORRECTLY FIX THE FIRST TIME. I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW RIM AGAIN SINCE THEY SAY IT CAN'T BE FIXED SINCE THEY ARE ALLUNIUM RIMS. I HAVE THE 6 SPOKE RIM THAT CAME STANDARD ON THE 2001 ECLIPSE. *JB
