    I WAS DRIVING IN A SNOW COVERED ROAD WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE I COULD NOT SEE. THE RIM BENT AND THE TIRE WENT FLAT IMMEDIATELY. I'VE HIT MUCH LARGER POTHOLES IN THE PAST IN OTHER CARS I'VE OWNED AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN.*AK

    - EAST ROCKAWAY, NY

    THE ALLOY RIMS DESIGNED FOR THIS CAR ARE EXTREMELY SOFT AND ARE DAMAGED VERY EASILY. THEY ARE ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WHEELS BEING DAMAGED. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT ALLOY WHEELS ARE MORE EASILY DAMAGED THAN STEEL WHEELS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ALSO.....DEALER DID NOT ADVISE ALIGNMENT AFTER REPAIR, CAUSING OVER $500 IN TIRE DAMAGES A MONTH LATER, AND A BLOWOUT. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHEELS, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ASSUMED THAT I UNDERSTOOD THE EFFECTS OF THE WHEEL DAMAGE WITHOUT THEM BEING EXPLAINED TO ME.*AK
