Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I noticed a very large dent in my wheel while washing my car. i have never hit anything before & i was wondering why such a large dent in my rim would have occurred with no damage to my tire. however, my rim is dented in such a way that my tire barely holds the air in it. i am very afraid to drive my car on the highway for fear that my tire will explode off of my wheel. i can't understand how a heavy,metal rim could have bent so far & not punctured my tire. what can be done about this problem? this is virtually a brand new car for me & i am the only driver. i see no reason to pay all of this money for something that is not at all safe to drive. *ak
