Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH, I HEARD A LOUD THUMP. IMMEDIATELY EXITED ON THE NEAREST OFF RAMP, THINKING THAT I HAD A FLAT TIRE. I CHECKED AND COULD NOT SEE A VISIBLE HOLE IN THE TIRE. WHEN THE TIRE WAS REMOVED, THE SHOP INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A HUGE RIP ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM. ME BEING CONFUSED, I ADVISED HIM THAT I DID NOT HIT A POT HOLE, THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT HE CAN TELL THE WAS THE METAL WAS RIPPED, AND THE TIRE WAS NOT PUNCTURED. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 1 MONTH. *JS
