While driving 10 mph tc light came on and stayed on while the vehicle did not respond to the wheel turning or to the breaks being pressed to the floor. About 20 miles later while slowing from 20 mph the tc light came on again and the breaks failed to work causing the vehicle not to stop when needed. Checked all tires each time to make sure no flats or obvious issues and there were none.

On three different occasions i have had to have the original rims replaced or straightened after normal use. The repair shop informed me that the rims had most likely been bent from hitting a pothole or railroad tracks. No excessive speed or hazardous road conditions, or off road conditions have been experienced by the vehicle. Yet, during normal wear and usage the original rims on the vehicle easily bend causing…
