NHTSA Complaint #10662139 — 2007 BUICK LUCERNE

I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO A GAS STATION IN THE AREA BECAUSE MY TIRES WERE GOING FLAT CONSTANTLY. I WAS CONTINUALLY PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRES. I WOULD LOSE 10 TO 15 LBS OF AIR PER DAY! AFTER TALKING TO THE MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THAT THE BAD RIM WAS THE PROBLEM. THESE RIMS WERE NO GOOD AND A PROBLEM THAT IS DANGEROUS! I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT THIS WAS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE CHROME WHEELS. I HAD GONE INTO A DITCH LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF AIR IN A REAR TIRE AND HAD ANOTHER CAR BEEN COMING AT THE TIME, I MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED. I JUST NOW REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AT THE BUICK DEALERSHIP HERE, BRENENGEN AUTO, WITH NEW TIRES WHICH MATCH THE ORIGINAL TIRES FOR THIS CAR. THEY FOUND "HEAVY CORROSION ON THE LEFT REAR RIM" AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE RIMS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE COST OF NEW RIMS IS PROHIBITIVE! THE TIRE TO ROAD IS THE MOST DANGEROUS THING TO GO WRONG!. I STRONGLY DEMAND YOU INVESTIGATE THESE POORLY MADE RIMS AND DECLARE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! *TR
