NHTSA Complaint #10231522 — 2007 CHRYSLER 300C

I PURCHASE A CHRYSLER 300C IN APRIL 2007, NEW FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. CONTINENTAL SELF SEALING TIRES CAME WITH VEHICLE. A 1"NAIL, HEAD DIAMETER 2/16", PUNCTURED TIRE. TOOK VEHICLE TO TIRE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT AFTER REMOVAL OF NAIL , TIRE DID NOT HOLD PRESSURE, WAS ADVISED TO NOTIFY DEALER FOR CREDIT ON TIRE. DEALER ADVISED ME SINCE TIRE DID NOT HOLD PRESSURE, THERE WAS NO WARRANTY OR CREDIT ON REMAINING TREAD, I WAS ADVISED TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. TIRES HAVE 18,000 MILES ON THEM. ALSO WAS ADVISED THAT THE SELF SEALING TIRE IS NOT BEING MANUFACTURED ANY MORE, AND ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND. I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER AT THIS POINT AND DO NOT LOOK FORWARD TO PURCHASING A NEW TIRE. OBVIOUSLY YOUR SELF-SEALING TIRES WORK MINIMALLY AT BEST. MIGHT THAT BE THE REASON THEY ARE BEING REMOVED, AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE. I WAS ADVISED IT MAY TAKE UP TO 3 WKS TO FIND A LIKE TIRE. IS THERE A REFUND OR CREDIT ON MY TIRE? YES, I READ THE WARRANTY. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU, W. POHLER *TR
