Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“For the past two years, the inside of the 17 low profile wheels of my 2001 Mazda Millenia s have corroded and all four tires lose most of their air. I have complained to Mazda about this, and have taken it in on two occasions, waited for hours and told they needed it at a later time to remove the wheels and tires and take pictures of them to forward to Mazda. I took two half days off work and waited each time. We put air in the tires every two days. The wheels have been removed and the corrosion polished off six times now - 2x in the last 2 weeks. …”
NHTSA complaint #10096016, filed 2004-10, 18,000 miles“The contact stated the chrome on the wheels flakes off, causing the tire bead to break. This results in loss of tire pressure. An independent repair shop ground the metal on the inner wheel in an attempt to get the tire to hold the correct pressure.”
