Consumer Description
Took the car to discount tire since the tire lost air (run flat tires). They removed the tire and the rear passenger side rim has one 3 inch and two additional cracks in the rim. No warning signs of this issue while driving at highway speeds earlier in the day. The large crack was leaking air. Rims are discontinued by Chevrolet and no replacements are available. Had to drive the car home which was an obvious safety issue. A large number of other drivers are faced with the same safety issue over these defective rims. I will add myself to any class action lawsuits over this issue so that no one is injured due to a total rim failure.
