Consumer Description

BOTH FAILURES WERE THE ALUMINUM ALLOY 10 SPOKE 17" RIMS EQUIPPED ON THE 2000 ECLIPSE GT PREMIUM PACKAGE. THE RIMS WERE BENT ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. BETWEEN EACH INCIDENT, I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED. SINCE BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED TO THE RIM ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE, BOTH OF MY RIMS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR HAVE BEEN DENTED. THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPACE ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS (REGULAR POT HOLES). SPEED WAS LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR. THE 2ND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WITH NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS (REGULAR POT HOLES). RIM WAS BENT WHILE SLOWLY STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT. SPEED WAS LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR. NLM
