“2006 Buick Lucerne chrome wheels failure. I started to experience flat tires constantly. Took the car in to a tire shop, I was told that the chrome wheels are corroded to the point that they will not seal probably. I informed GM about the issue. I was told that the car was not under warranty and GM would not replace the wheels. The last time I drove the car the front passenger tire deflated causing me to loose control which resulted with me going in the medium. The car has not been driven since. The mileage is 80,000. There needs to be a safety recall done on the chrome rims. …”

At some point in the past there must have been some impact because there was a slight flattening of the rim, but the day the rim failed I had no impact with any road hazard whatsoever; the low tire pressure indicator came on and I was losing air fast. Once I could get in to have the wheel checked the hairline crack, inside the rim, was discovered. I purchased a new wheel through my Buick dealer, and filed a claim with Buick for some amount of compensation. …”

“While entering a curve on the east -west connector in frankfort, ky, my wife lost control of our 2006 Buick Lucerne. The speed limit was 45 and she was going no more than 35-40. She was unable to steer the car and bring it under control. The right front part of our car hit a guardrail, she thought that she was able to bring it under control momentarily, then lost control again. The car spun around and hit the cement barrier, where the car stopped. Damage was done to the right rear and the right rear wheel was completely severed from the vehicle. …”
