| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 eclipse gt and have experienced consistent wheel/tire problems since purchase. the most recent was a blowout at highway speed (in dense traffic) which could have caused a serious accident. all 4 original factory rims on this car have been dented, as well as 2 replacement rims under normal driving conditions. i've had numerous flats during both driving and parked conditions which have been determined to be caused by leaking or dented rims. after reseaching the issue online it appears that many other eclipse owners have experienced the same difficulties. since i already have spent significant time and money repairing/replacing dangerous leaking tires/damaged factory rims, i have now chosen to replace the currently damaged rims with custom rims to avoid further issues with mitsubishi manufactured wheels.*ak |
