NHTSA Complaint #11054503 — 2014 DODGE CHARGER

I HAD A SMALL AIR LEAK IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I TOOK IT TO GET THE TIRE REPAIRED, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WHEEL WAS ACTUALLY CRACKED. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE RIM REPAIRED, AND IT WAS MAINTAINING PRESSURE. I DID NOT CHECK THE OTHER WHEELS, AS THEY WERE MAINTAINING PRESSURE. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER, I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL HIGHWAY (APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH), WHERE THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER RIM WAS CRACKED AS WELL, WHICH LED TO WHEEL FAILURE AND A BLOWOUT. ULTIMATELY, I ENDED UP IN A CONCRETE WALL AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED.
