NHTSA Complaint #11477274 — 2015 HONDA CR-V

Around February of 2022 I noticed air started leaking from my driver's side front tire. When I took it to be looked at, I was told the rim was cracked and that's why the tire leaked air and began running flat. I bought a new rim and had no further issue with that wheel. Now as of the beginning of June, I noticed it happening again but on the front passenger side wheel. I took it to a tire repair shop who submerged the tire in water but found no leak. They replaced a valve, filled the tire with air and a week later it was completely flat again. I was told by a local mechanic that cracked rims are a common occurrence on this model year vehicle but I have seen no recalls for this issue. I have contacted several salvage yards and independent repair shops to get another replacement rim for the passenger side wheel but rims are either unavailable or extremely expensive. I am forced to use the donut tire on my vehicle which is not as safe as having a full size tire and proper rim on my vehicle. Honda needs to investigate this issue and fix it.
