Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At 2000 miles we noticed our wheels pitting. We thought this was unusual as our wheels were plastic coated called 'crometech'. We were at the dealers and mentioned that our car had only 2000 miles and shouldn't be having this problem. Our car now has 7070miles yes seven thousand miles and they won't do anything for us. My wife and I are in our 80's and they are are takeing advantage of us because we're old. They want us to pay for new wheels $750.. Each.”
