| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Over the past 3 years the tires on the vehicle go flat due to a defect in the chrome plated aluminum rims that came on the vehicle. the dealer has indicated to me that there is a problem with all rims of this type due to the fact that the chrome plating when put on an aluminum rim causes a reaction that causes the rims to corrode from the inside out. when the corrosion erupts along the bead area of the tire it breaks the seal and causes the tire to go flat. i have spoken to chrysler directly and they claim that they are not aware of any such problem. however the new vehicles that have this type no longer use chrome but have a plastic chrome piece which is glued on to the aluminum rim. if this had not been a defect why would they have changed the design. *nm |
