Consumer Description

LR TIRE BEGAN LOOSING AIR (OVERNIGHT WHILE SITTING IN MY GARAGE), I FILLED THE TIRE ONLY TO FIND IT LOW AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TIRE SHOP EXPECTING TO FIND A NAIL IN THE TREAD, NO HOLES WERE FOUND IN THE TIRE SO THE TECHNICIAN SPRAYED HIS SOLUTION ON THE RIM ONLY TO FIND AIR LEAKING FROM A CRACK IN THE CHROME RIM. FURTHER INVESTIGATION UNCOVERED MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE RIMS AT THE REAR OF THE CAR WHERE THE SPOKES ATTACHED TO THE RIM. I THOUGHT IF THESE RIMS ARE IN THIS CONDITION THERE MUST BE MORE. THIS CAR IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION 27,000 MILES GARAGE KEPT AND WELL CARED FOR. THE MANAGER AT PALMEN'S CHEVROLET SENT PICTURES TO CHEVROLET WITH AN EXPLANATION NO BRUISES ON THE RIM NO IDEA OF HOW IT HAPPENED. I AM GUESSING BAD HEAT TREATMENT, CHEVROLET TOLD ME I AM ON MY OWN. *TR
