Consumer Description

WE HAD TO CONTINUALLY ADD AIR TO ONE TIRE. THINKING WE A HAD A NAIL, WE TOOK IT TO A TIRE SHOP. THE RIM WAS DEFECTIVE. THAT WAS WHEN THE CAR HAD 41,564 MILES. WE REPLACED IT. ANOTHER RIM WENT BAD AFTER 50,688 MILES. RIMS SHOULD NOT GO BAD. THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THE FABRICATION OF THE RIMS AND MALIBU OWNERS ARE PAYING FOR IT. *TR
