Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving down the road two separate times now when i have hit potholes that resulted in a bend in my rim. the first time all the air was let out due to it breaking the seal on the tire. i was left stranded for several hours before help arrived to help me in the middle of the winter. the second time was about a week ago when i hit a pothole and now the air slowly leaks out everyday and before i can go anywhere i must reair my tire. i bought a replacement rim the first time since they said it was unrepairable. this time i am filing a complaint with my city since it is the same pothole again that they didn't correctly fix the first time. i will have to purchase a new rim again since they say it can't be fixed since they are allunium rims. i have the 6 spoke rim that came standard on the 2001 eclipse. *jb
