“I own the 2009 brabus model Smart which comes with low profile tires that in the 5000 miles that I have driven, I have bent or cracked roughly 7 rims to the point of replacement. I am presently on my 7th and 8th broken rim with this car and on october 18th of last year I lost control of my Smart on the highway leading to a horrible accident. One second I was going perfectly straight, then I could not turn at all. After the accident, the car was towed to a junk yard where the front was pretty much missing. What stood out was there was basically half a rim on the right front and no tire. …”
