Complaint Description: i was forced off the road while making a turn at an intersection, i struck the curb wth the right front wheel. the impact (at a low rate of speed) broke the rim and blew out the tire. there was also damage to the sub frame that has lead to alignment issues. at the time, i thought it was a freak incident until i recently heard of other cases involving rims. i had to pay for all th repairs out of my pocket. the dealer did not mention any problems with the wheels or offer o look into the situation. *ak .
