I own a defaulted rim and Mazda doesn't want to replace it. I already got the first repair in September 2010 and nothing until November 2013 during Thanksgiving. I went to another dealer to try to get the rim repaired and the rim did not crack. Yes, it got repaired for the third time and it was acting just fine. On January 11, 2014, it cracked, and the nozzle for the air in the tire broke off. I didn't hit a curb, bump, or had an accident. Now, the rim is unfixable but my tire is good. I talked to at least 25 people and they all said, "IT'S THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT." It needs to be replaced as soon a s possible. I'm dealing with a jackass who blames me for the rim to be cracked and I hit a curb or a bump. NOW, come on!!! Does it sound like I hit anything from this story? No! The rim is cracked on the inside. How was I to know that the rim was cracked. Don't you think the dealer in service would recognize this issue? No, but they couldn't repair it, they sent me to another dealer and I had to pay. I'm trying not to pay for the rim since I wasn't a t fault and I didn't know. I was told the manufacturer makes the rims soft for people to hit a bump, curb, or potholes. This is getting on my very last nerves. People, please explain this to me!!!!!!!
yes, it was fixed on 9/10/10 & 11/2013. however, it cracked
