Consumer Description

ON DECEMBER 18,2003 , ONE THE WHEELS (RIMS) ON MY WIFE'S CAR BENT AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO DEFLATE VERY REPIDLY AND ALMOST CAUSED HER TO LOOSE CONTROL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IN 2002 THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED WITH ANOTHER OF THE WHEELS.*AK THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AFTER THE 2003 INCIDENT. WHILE HAVING THE WHEEL REPLACED IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT TWO OTHER WHEELS WERE BEND AND IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. MY WIFE FOUND OUT FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS AT THE TIRE PLACE THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE SAME TYPE SEBRING. I CALLED CHRSYLER AND THEY INSISTED THEY HAD NEVER HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, BUT I KNOW OF AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS COMPENSATED FOR HIS WHEELS. MY COMPLAINT IS SO THAT IT MAY BE NOTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEELS ON 1999 SEBRINGS. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE METAL ALLOY USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE WHEELS.
