Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Faulty wheels (rims), on the date specified the local dealership where my vehicle was being serviced noticed that the after market wheel that mitsubishi placed on the vehicle was not fitting properly and the lug nuts were not lined up properly on the rim holes, the dealership said this may explain some of the shaking in the wheels when braking as the rotors looked fine, when attempting to speak with the dealership that sold the vehicle they sad oh well its been two and a half years what do you expect us to do about it. i feel this is an important fact to get out as there may be other owners of this product out there that are unaware of this and i am not sure of any issues reported thus far on this but something should be done to warn or notify these owners. *nm
