Consumer Description

DEIVER REAR WHEEL BEGAN LOAING AIR PRESSURE SUDDENLY 1 WEEK AGO. TIRE PRESSURE WOULD DROP AROUND 1 PSI/HOUR. TOOK TO TIRE SHOP AND NO TIRE PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED BUT THE WHEEL HAD 3 CRACKS IN THE INNER WHEEL LIP. INSPECTION OF PASSENGER REAR WHEEL REVEALED A SINGLE CRACK THAT HAD NOT YET CAUSED TIRE PRESSURE LOSS. THE WHEEL CRACKING ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED BUT NO RECALL YET. I FEAR THAT MY SAFETY COULD HAVE BEEN IN JEOPARDY WITH A WHEEL CRACKING AT SPEED. PROBLEM FIRST IDENTIFIED WHEN STARTING A STATIONARY VEHICLE AS THE TPMS NOTIFIED OF A LOW PRESSURE. PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL I SECTION OF WHEELS IDENTIFIED CRACKS.
