My wife was able to retain control. An inspection by leith Acura found no evidence of a puncture wound to the tire. The sidewall was deformed to the point that the tire was unuseable. Leith Acura and Acura client services refused to replace the rim and tire under the new car warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #10090783, filed 2004-09, 4,840 miles“I have owned this car since april 2004 and have had trouble with front wheel balance since almost new. Every time I have requested dealer service they have diagnosed the problem as a bent rim. My wife drives this car and she has absolutely no recall of hitting any potholes. As a result of these failures I have real concerns about the strength and integrity of the materials used in the wheel design. Three rims have now failed in the 7 months I have owned this car and I'm worried about the safety of this vehicle.”
