2001 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE Tires Problems

SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 9/01 I HAVE HAD OVER 20 FLAT TIRES, CAUSING ME TO MISS WORK GETTING STUCK OVER THE BRIDGE. I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR 4 NEW RIMS AND SEVERAL TIRES BECAUSE THE RIMS SEPERATE FROM THE TIRE. I HAVE HAD SCRATCHES APPEAR AROUND THE DRIVERS LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR WHICH NOW MOVE ALL THE WAY TO THE LICENSE PLATE I WAS PUTTING ON THE DONUT IN 2002 AND SAW MY STRUT WAS BLOWN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP AS TO WHY MY CAR SHAKES AFTER HITTING A BUMP THEY KEPT TELLING ME I WAS HITTING CURBS WHEN I SAID TO THEM MY STRUT IS BLOWN THEY TRIED BLAMING ME AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THEY INVESTIGATED AND REALIZED I HAD A MANUFACTUERS DEFECT IN MY LEFT DRIVERS FRONT TIRE. I SAID THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE FRONT SIDE OF MY BUMPER BACAUSE OF THE...

NOT ONLY DO I HAVE THE AGGREVATION OF BENT RIMS AND FLAT TIRES, AND FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ON THIS, MY LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR DOESN'T ALIGN TO THE RIGHT. WATER LEEKS IN ON THE LEFT SIDE. SOMETIMES THE HEATER BLOWS OUT COOL AIR. THE SUNROOF SHAKES WHEN OPENING. I ALREADY HAD A MANUFACUTERS DEFECT IN MY STRUT ON THE LEFT SIDE. I HAVE SCTRACHES ON THE LEFT SIDE FOM THE CAR SCRAPPING THE GROUND WHEN I MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. I HAD TO HAVE THE COOLING SYSTEM REPLACED THE FIRST WEEK I FINANCED IT.MY HOOD WON'T OPEN AND MY HEADLIGHTS FAIL CAUSING ME TO DIRVE ONLY WITH THE FOG LIGHTS. ALL THESE ISSUES ARE THE SAME AND CONSTANT SINCE I PURCHASED THIS LEMON.*AK

TIRES DID NOT FEEL RIGHT FOR OVER 6 MONTHS, WENT TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS UNTIL SOMEONE FINALLY REALIZED THAT TWO OF THE RIMS WERE BENT ONE IN FRONT AND ONE IN BACK, ON TWO OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT I MUST HAVE HIT A POT HOLE, BUT THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE IF THE RIMS BENT WERE ON TWO DIFFERENT SIDES. AFTER LOSING THE BATTLE I PAID OVER $600 TO REPLACE THE RIMS. *AK

I TOO HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH RIMS AND TIRES. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 TIRES AND 1 RIM ALREADY. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR NOW OVER 65 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE. I AM OFTEN SCARED TO GO OVER 50 DUE TO THAT FACT THAT I FEAR MY TIRES WILL BLOW.*AK

THE FIRST WEEK OF BUYING THE CAR I NOTICED A LITTLE SCRATCH BY THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. THEN I STARTED HEARING LITTLE SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN I WAS REVERSING COMING FROM THE SAME LEFT TIRE. THEN I NOTICED THE RIM WAS BENT I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID I WAS HITTING CURBS & ROAD HAZARD. MONTHS LATER THE SCRATCH AT THE BOTTOM BY THE FOG LIGHTS WAS GETTING BIGGER AND DEEP THE TIRE KEPT LOSING AIR AND THOSE SPRINGING SOUND NOISES I STILL HEARD. MAKE THE LONG STORY SHORT IT IS 2 YEARS LATER THE DEEP GASHES FROM THE LEFT FRONT TIRE IS NOW ALL THE WAYAROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE FOG LIGHTS ALMOST REACHING THE MIDDE.I WENT THRU 2 TIRES NO BLOW OUTS THANK GOD 3 RIMS AND ONE WAS A REPLACEMENT THE TIRE KEEPS LEAKING AIR THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE...

THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE RIM KEEPS BENDING, WHICH CAUSES A FLAT TIRE. I BOUGHT 3 RIMS ALREADY. ALWAYS WITH IN A WEEK THE RIM IS BENT. THE CAR MAKES A NOISE FROM THE FRONT END COMING FROM THE LEFT TIRE AND THERE ARE DEEP SCRATCH MARKS ON THE LOWER FRONT BY THE TIRE. AT SPEEDS OF 15-20 MILES AN HOUR IF I HIT A POTHOLE THE RIM BENDS AND THE WHOLE THING SHAKES EVEN WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE THE BRAKE PEDAL SHAKES BAKE AND FORTH. IF I KNEW THE RIM WOULD BE LIKE THIS AND I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS TROUBLE OF TIRES AND RIMES COSTING $300.00 I WOULD OF NEVER BOUGHT THIS CAR.AFTER I HIT THE POT HOLE THE CAR START STEERING TO THE LEFT. AND THE SCRATCHES ON THE BOTTOM BY THE LEFT TIRE KEEP GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER AND DEEPER

THE OWNER HAD NOTICED ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY, THE TIRES WERE MEASURED WITH A METER TO DETERMINE EXCESSIVE WEAR. TS *TT *JB
