Complaint Description: i own a 2001 mitsubishi eclipse. i have 54000 miles on this car. on april 16, 2003, i had my third flat tire (2 of them have been blow outs). all three (as told by goodyear) were caused by bent rims. two of the bends were very noticeable and each occurred with regular driving. i feel like i am driving on a time bomb. even with minor bends, air releases from the tire. i check my pressure every week, but still to no avail. from other complaints i have read, this is a major problem that mitsubishi appears to be ignoring. *jb .
