problem #3

Dec 271999

Eclipse

  • miles
I was forced off the road while making a turn at an intersection, I struck the curb wth the right front wheel. The impact (at a low rate of speed) broke the rim and blew out the tire. There was also damage to the sub frame that has lead to alignment issues. At the time, I thought it was a freak incident until I recently heard of other cases involving rims. I had to pay for all th repairs out of my pocket. The dealer did not mention any problems with the wheels or offer O look into the situation.

The car has a water leak on the front and rear passenger side. The water pools on the carpet and reaches 1" deep on occasion. Due to the radio amplifier being under the passenger front seat, the water penetrates the amplifier and shorts out some of the radio speakers. The car has been taken back to the dealership and to their subcontracted body shop more than 6 times in 3 months and problem still exists. The problem has gotten worse since the last repair.
