VIN No: 4A3AK44Y6SE151532
City/State: MANCHESTER,NH

Defect/Problem: PENSKE SERVICE CENTER SAID ALL 4 RIMS BENT WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR ALIGNMENT - I DO NORMAL DRIVING AND HAVE NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES - DEALER CHECKED AND SAID ALL 4 WHEELS WERE FINE AND WITHIN SPECS, AFTER DEALING WITH THEM FOR 3 WEEKS. 6 DAYS AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM THEM MY LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AT 70MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS WAS 6 DAYS AFTER THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE WHEN THEY CHECKED TIRES AND RIMS. DEALER SAYS THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A NAIL IN MY TIRE, BUT THERE WAS NO NAIL TO BE FOUND?  DEALER HAS THE CAR RIGHT NOW. CAR STILL SHIMMIES AND THE CAUSE IS SOFT ALLOYS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE RIMS. RIMS BEND VERY EASILY AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. CHECK TO SEE HOW MANY NHTSA CONSUMER REPORTS THERE ARE ON MITSUBISHI RIMS. WAY TO MANY! WHY DO YOU DO NOTHING ABOUT IT? HAVE BUILT WEBSITE TO INFORM THE PUBLIC AT HTTP://WWW.MITSUBISHICARS.ORG - DEALER AND MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ALSO SHOWS MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE. THESE WHEELS SHOULD BE RECALLED. PICTURES OF MY TIRE AND RIMS CAN BE FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.MITSUBISHICARS.ORG/MITSU/PROOF.HTML - OH AND YOU CAN ALSO FIND SOME CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME DEFECTS. THESE ARE EUROPEAN WHEELS AND THEY ARE NOT SAFE. HAVE THE MARKING JLL ON THEM, THE JLL IS LIKE THE DOT SYMBOL IN THE STATES.*AK (TIRESIZE: 205/75R16)
