Consumer Description

I RETURNED TO MY CAR AFTER PLAYING A ROUND OF GOLF ON MONDAY AND THE CAR SAID THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS LOW. I DROVE TO THE TIRE STORE AND THEY FOUND THE RIM WAS CRACKED WITH NO SIGNS OF ANY TRAUMA TO THE RIM OR TIRE. I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN IN JANUARY 2020, AND ENDED UP BUYING A NEW ALUMINUM RIM FROM THE DEALER (OVER $1.000) BECAUSE GM SAYS THE RIM ISN'T DEFECTIVE. THE CAR THEN HAD 26,500 MILES ON IT. NOW 7,600 MILES AND A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER, THE NEW REPLACEMENT RIM CRACKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM IN THE VERY SAME MANNER AS THE ORIGINAL RIM CRACKED. I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE AND NOW HAVE TWO CRACKED (DEFECTIVE) RIMS IN HAND. I REPORTED THE FIRST CRACKED RIM TO NTHSA WHEN IT HAPPENED A YEAR AGO AND NOW AM REPORTING THE SECOND IDENTICAL DEFECT. DO I NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HURT MYSELF VIA AN ACCIDENT TO GET YOU FOLKS TO TAKE MY CASE SERIOUSLY?
