“- the contact owns a 2003 Dodge Caravan. The aluminum on the wheels deteriorated. The dealership informed the contact that the deterioration was caused by the salt on the road. The salt from road got in between the coating over the aluminum, which caused corrosion to the aluminum. This caused the tires to constantly go flat. The current mileage was 59,000.”
