2006 Chevrolet Malibu Wheels Problems

WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH TC LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE WHEEL TURNING OR TO THE BREAKS BEING PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. ABOUT 20 MILES LATER WHILE SLOWING FROM 20 MPH THE TC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE BREAKS FAILED TO WORK CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO STOP WHEN NEEDED. CHECKED ALL TIRES EACH TIME TO MAKE SURE NO FLATS OR OBVIOUS ISSUES AND THERE WERE NONE.

I BROUGHT OUR 2006 MALIBU MAXX IN FOR A 5000 MILE TIRE BALANCE AND ROTATION.. I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD TWO MORE BENT RIMS ON THE CAR.. THIS AFTER REPLACING TWO ALREADY SEVERAL YEARS BACK.. I WAS INFORMED BY THE TIRE TECH THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CHEVY RIMS AND THAT THEY ARE SEEING THIS SOFT RIM PROBLEM ON A REGULAR BASIS.. THIS CAN GET EXPENSIVE QUICK AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AND WHEN A RECALL WILL BE INITIATED? SOFT RIMS CAN CAUSE COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE AND BLOWOUTS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAN BE CATASTROPHIC...

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL RIMS REPLACED OR STRAIGHTENED AFTER NORMAL USE. THE REPAIR SHOP INFORMED ME THAT THE RIMS HAD MOST LIKELY BEEN BENT FROM HITTING A POTHOLE OR RAILROAD TRACKS. NO EXCESSIVE SPEED OR HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS, OR OFF ROAD CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED BY THE VEHICLE. YET, DURING NORMAL WEAR AND USAGE THE ORIGINAL RIMS ON THE VEHICLE EASILY BEND CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE AND THE TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY. *TR
