Consumer Description

HAVE FACTORY ALUMINUM WHEELS. THE MANDATED "SAFETY" TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS FACTORY INSTALLED HAVE A STEEL SHAFT THROUGH THE RIMS. ROAD SALT REACTS WITH THE METAL PROPERTIES CAUSE ROTTING. IN MY CASE IT BROKE OFF WHEN THE MECHANIC TRIED TO TOP OFF AIR. JUST AS EASY WOULD BE A BUMP CAUSING ONE OR MORE TO BREAK ON THE ROAD. I COMPLAINED DIRECTLY TO DODGE, AFTER THINKING IT OVER FOR THREE WEEKS, THEY CALLED AND REPORTED THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF REPAIRING THEIR FAULTY MATERIAL PROBLEM. THIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS A POTENTIALLY ACCIDENT CAUSING PROBLEM IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE.
