NHTSA Complaint #10991929 — 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER

2010 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8 LIMITED EDITION (SRT8). THE SRT8'S TIRES LOSE AIR PRESSURE (5-10 POUNDS) WHENEVER A POTHOLE'S IS ENCOUNTERED OR GOING OVER A CURB LIP GREATER THAN ONE (1) INCH. DEALERSHIPS THAT PROVIDE AUTHORIZED FACTORY SERVICE HAVE TOLD ME THAT TIRE PRESSURE LOSS IS NORMAL AS THE SRT8 HAS FACTORY (OEM) ALUMINUM WHEELS THAT DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE CENTER OF THE WHEELS/RIMS FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE AS THE SRT8 DOES NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE AND THE TIRE INFLATOR KIT PROVIDED BY DODGE DOES NOT SEAL THE FACTORY (OEM) SRT8 ALUMINUM WHEELS/RIMS WHEN IT IS CRACKED. TIRE AIR PRESSURE LOSS OCCURS DRIVING AT NORMAL ROADWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS UNDER 15 MILES PER HOUR TRAVELLING OVER DRIVEWAY AND, E.G., SHOPPING MALL ENTRANCES, CHANGES IN PAVEMENT GRADE, ETC.
