Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Re: 2001 pt cruiser tire pressure loss from chrome plating failing on the rims allowing air loss i wish to document my extreme dissatisfaction concerning my experience with chrysler concerning what i have come to learn is without question, a serious manufacturer''s defect with the wheels of my car. the wheels have not provided anywhere near a reasonable service life and whose problem had been misdiagnosed until the basis of failure had degraded until its cause was without question, apparent. i have also learned that problem is also recognized by chrysler service dealerships as a routine problem, is abundantly documented and widespread on focused websites related to this vehicle and is problem familiar to each tire shop i have gone to. without question this problem poses an extreme danger to drivers of the vehicle who unknowingly will drive on a potentially extremely under-inflated tire. their position in my opinion to merely ''not recognize it as a problem'' and not warn the owners of your vehicle to alert them to this common problem is unconscionable, callous and constitutes an extreme hazard to the driving public.
