When driving wheels become very soft upon hitting a bump or anything of that nature. Took vehicle to the dealer, and nothing was done. Please provide any further information, and vehicle identification number.

Front rim is bent without any tire, or rim's lip damage. Tire was inspected by the third party repair shop and found undamaged, but the rim is bent well out of the spec causing vehicle to vibrate at higher speed. Apparently this is well known issue with Mitsubishi Eclipse. Dealer runs me around, offering to repair the damaged alloy wheel instead of replacing it.

All four wheels have clearcoat coming off and some have rather large dents. I feel this happens too easily and at far too low of speed. I know others have had this same problem wich leads me to beleive that it must be a manufacturing problem.

All alum. Wheels are peeling. Air pressure will not maintain in front tires. Dealer states Mitsubishi doesn't feel there is a need for a recall with just several hundred complaints. My tires have not blow out yet, and my wheels haven't bent yet as I have read many have. As this is a safety issue, not being able to maintain proper tire pressure I'm hoping to have Mitsubishi initiate a full investigation

Was informed by a car wash worker my front left wheel was dented. I had not collided into anything nor anybody. And no one else drives my car. The dealership refused to cover the cost of a new wheel $432. They alleged I might have hit apot hole. It must have been a very small pot hole and I question the durability of the wheels to have caused so much damage and therefore creating aroad hazard or anyone else on the road should the tire have blown out. The wheel was covered not under the warrenty. I question the durability of tehse wheels in usual city traffic.
