| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2006 mercedes cls55 amg has had 6 dented rims within the first 13 months (11,000 mi). my dealer sold me wheel and tire insurance, but states the rim must be cracked before it will be replaced. i've already replaced two rims at $1100 each, and the car is almost undriveable due to vibration. the tires supplied with the car are completely worn out, and one has a sidewall bubble. if the current trend continues, i will have to spend close to $20,000 in rims over a 39 month lease period. the car has been driven at normal speeds, mostly over smooth highways. a report from tire rack.com regarding the factory supplied tires suggests that they not be used at temperatures below 40f! the wheels and tires supplied by mercedes benz on this car are completely inadequate for normal driving conditions, and i would not have leased the vehicle had i been informed of this obvious defect. *jb |
