“On jan 2, 2010, while driving home from a movie in my 2002 mercedes C230, the car suddenly and violently began pulling to the right. I first thought I had a blow out. I was driving on a freeway and am not aware of hitting any thing that might have caused the failure. When I stopped, I found the right front tire was flat. The following day I took the flat to my tire shop who informed me the rim had a crack in it, and that caused the tire to deflate. I ordered a new wheel from the local mercedes dealer, who told me it is not uncommon for wheels on this model to fail. Mercedes refused warranty. …”
