DT: THE WHEELS CORRODED FROM THE INSIDE AT THE CENTER HUBS. THIS HAPPENED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A STATE INSPECTION LAST WEEK AND THE INSPECTOR FOUND THIS PROBLEM. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER WAS GOING TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WHEELS, ONE WHEEL WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY CORRODED. CONSUMER WAS STILL DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO MAILING ADDRESS PROVIDED FOR THE DEALER BY THE CONSUMER. *AK

MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS LOW AND WOULD NOT KEEP AIR. MY TIRES ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. I THOUGHT THAT I JUST HAD A SLOW LEAK. TOOK THE CAR TO REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE TIRE CHECKED OUT. WAS TOLD BY TECHNICIAN AT REPAIR SHOP THAT THE CHROME IS SEVERELY PEELING OFF THE RIM CAUSING BEAD NOT TO SEAL. THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND THAT MY WHEEL LOOKED LIKE IT WAS TEN YEARS OLD ALREADY. WAS INFORMED BY THEM THAT THE CHROME CONTINUALLY FLAKES OFF AND DOESN'T ALLOW THE BEAD TO SEAL TO THE RIM. THEY NOTED THIS PROBLEM ON MY INVOICE.
