Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The factory 20-spoke chrome directional wheels have been losing air since I bought the car in 1999 with 42,500 miles. I thought it was the tires but when I took it to koons Lincoln mercury in owings mills, maryland when it was still under warranty, they claimed that they could not find any leaks. However, once I replaced the tires and still continued to lose air, I went to several tire shops of the franchise from which I purchased my tires to see if they could fix the leaks. …”
NHTSA complaint #10039462, filed 2003-09, 42,500 miles“Consumer had to continually add air pressure to right front tire because wheel rim has been bent allowing air pressure to be released. Please provide any additional information/attachments. *note: consumer feels that this could also be a possible problem with ford/firestone issue if consumers were driving in vehicles with bent rims, which could result in lower than suggested pressure in the tires.”
