The caliper arms on both of my passenger side tires have gotten stuck, wore down the new brake pads completely and destroyed the rotors of my car in the past. The dealership's warranty had covered the replacement of the pads, correction of arms and rotors previously but the second occurrence happened after my warranty had expired and was extremely expensive. When the rear passenger side got stuck the sensor for my…

The tire is perfectly fine. I was told that it is my rim that is causing the…

I went to my car on the morning of 12/26/14 & noticed that the passenger front air pressure was at 18 psi. I took the vehicle to sams club, in clarksville, tn, where it was determined that there was a defect in the wheel rim & not in the tire. I had to purchase a new rim. This is the second rim that i have put on this vehicle. In 44 years of driving, averaging approximately 15,000 miles/year, this is the first…

On 4-1-2014 our right rear tire was extremely low. At a gas station the leak was found not from the tire, but from a crack in the rim. You could see the bubbles coming through the crack under water. We ended up replacing the wheel. We had never heard of this but thought it was a fluke. On 12-19-2014 when i was driving home i noticed the tire pressure light was on and the car made a strange sound. I stopped at a gas…

I have a 2009 chevrolet mailbu. I am experiencing a serious problem with bent wheel rims. These are the standard steel rims with the plastic covers. I have lived in the same location for 17 years and have owned or driven 10 different automobiles in that time, never experiencing problems with bent rims. Both the dealer and gm have been told of the problem but they both deny any responsibility for the damaged rims.…
