Potholes across Concourse Village in the Bronx are leaving drivers frustrated and facing costly repairs.

Residents say the rough roads are damaging tires, suspensions and even axles, forcing some to make unexpected trips to the mechanic.

Uber driver Albert says that hitting a pothole recently burst his tire and may have caused further damage to his car.

Drivers say the problem becomes even more dangerous at night, when potholes are harder to see, but the impact can be severe.

Many residents say they are hoping the city will step in and repair the streets before more cars are damaged or someone gets seriously hurt.
