Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car picked up a nail on the highway and it blew a round hole about the size of a quarter in the tire rim. These are aluminum alloy low profile rims that came with my E500 2004 mercedes benz as standard equipment. Two months later I had a new set of tires put on the car and the dealer told me that two more rims were bent. I am an experienced driver (over 1.5 million miles of driving experience) and I have never had a rim go bad. Suddenly I have three rims go bad. I did not hit any pot holes or curbs or any thing other than normal bumpy roads. …”
