Consumer Description

TWO SEPARATE WHEELS HAVE NOW CRACKED OR WARPED ON THE VEHICLE AT NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THIS IS HAPPENING IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS (COMMUTING) WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT, SEVERE POT-HOLES, OR IMPACT DAMAGE. IT APPEARS THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR SOME TIME, AS THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT "THAT'S JUST THE WAY THESE CARS ARE, EXPECT TO REPLACE A LOT OF RIMS". WHEN IT HAPPENS, YOU CAN EITHER GRADUALLY OR SUDDENLY LOSE COMPLETE AIR PRESSURE IN YOUR WHEEL. THAT IS DANGEROUS. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES WITH TWO CRACKED RIMS. COST $800 EACH, AND GM REFUSES TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY.
