Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had a 1999 Chrysler 300 which developed wheel erosion at 3 years old and 97000 miles driven. A vibration developed that could not be fixed because the wheels could no longer be balanced. All 4 wheels had to be replaced at my expense as Chrysler refused to consider any warranty. Wheels are not a consumable.”
NHTSA complaint #10104582, filed 2004-12, 97,000 miles“The wheels of our 1999 Chrysler 300M have been leaking for over two years. The problem seems to be the chrome plating over the aluminum. It is scaling and corroding along the edge of the rim, so an air seal is almost impossible. We have had occasion when employees have taken the car and found it to swerve to the left or right - only to find that the air pressure has been depleted to 10-15 PSI.”
NHTSA complaint #10032890, filed 2003-08, 57,000 miles“I have had multiple wheel problems with the wheels on my 1999 Chrysler 300M. The wheels have corroded and as a result the tires continually go flat. The valve stems have been replaced numerous times only to leak around them again. Yesterday I took my car to the tire service center because it was leaking again. This time to my surprise there was a hairline crack amid the corrosion necessitating replacement of the wheel. I was told that the chrome wheels corrode and all should to be replaced. Furthermore replacement would not solve the problem since the replacements would also corrode. …”
NHTSA complaint #10137145, filed 2005-09, 103,000 miles“Dt: caller said the alloy wheels oxidized and lost air in the tires. All 4 wheels were doing it. This has been going on for 3 years. Consumer was putting air in tires, cleaned them, and by night all the tires were flat. Dealer said there was nothing they could do.manufacturer has not been contacted yet.”
NHTSA complaint #10132106, filed 2005-08, 62,000 miles“Dt: contact stated wheel rim peeled and caused the air to come out of tires. Two out of four tires were flat in the morning. They rotated them, and eventually all four tires became flat. She talked to the Chrysler dealership, and they told her that the beads in the tire rusted and popped loose. This caused the tires to lose air. The manufacturer said there was nothing they could do about it. Noticed this problem one year ago.”
