In the last 10 months the fundamental rims that came with optional stealth package are weak. Three rims have bent during normal driving conditions. Local fl dealership will not acknowledge a defect in the rims. Factory alarm goes off even when alarm is not set. This happens when the car is parked as well as when driving. Local fl dealer cannot find problem even though the service theft alarm message appears.
