| We have a 2010 malibu ltz. one of the tires kept going flat. took the car into the tire shop and the worker found a crack in the rim that could not be fixed. the entire rim had to be replaced at a cost of $200. this seems to be a common problem with these rims. *tr | |||

| This is the second one to be replace. i thought the first one i replaced was an isolated case. i was on my way back from a funeral and stop at a dealers because the tire pressure was low. i know i needed some tries. i put on two tires and why the rim was off, they notice that it was bent. i had a problem last year with a rim that the dealer found a crack in it. another customer had her malibu in for service and they found out the her rim was bent also. on the internet, i noticed that this is not isolated as i thought it was. a crack or bent rim could cause a tire failure and may injure or kill someone. gm warranty doesn't cover this anymore. oh i brought this car new. *tr | |||
