“While traveling along 240 in memphis,tn I hit an unlevel piece of pavement. My speed was maybe 45 MPH. While the car was at the dealer they said that I had 4 bend rims. Upon inspection of the wheels each wheel had been bent on the inside of the rims. This was causing the car to drive poorly and cause the steering wheel to vibrate.”
NHTSA complaint #11164516, filed 2019-01, 3,585 miles“Noticed that rear tire was leaking air. Checked for nail or other object in tire. The dealership found that the rear wheels were cracked and losing air. Pics sent to GM who refused to repair. I then had them welded in an effort to fix the problem. Still losing air. I have the repair invoice.”
