Consumer Description

ALL FOUR WHEEL CENTERS (CHROME WHEEL OPTION) HAVE SEPARATED FORM THEIR CLIPS AND FALLEN OFF WITHIN A PERIOD OF ABOUT 4 MONTHS. CHYSLER REPLACED THEM UNDER WARRANTY; HOWEVER THE PARTS APPEAR TO BE OF DEFECTIVE DESIGN. I HAVE WORD THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES HAVE RECENTLY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE THE SEPARATION OF THESE WHEEL CENTERS MAY NOT CAUSE HARM TO TH DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS, THEY MAY CAUSE HARM TO PROPERTY OR PERSONS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF THE CENTERS FALL OFF AT HIGH SPEED, THEY WILL BECOME UNGUIDED 3" METAL PROJECTILES TRAVELING AT THE SAME SPEED AS THE CAR.I HAVE CONTACTED CHYSLER, BUT THEY INTEND DO DO NOTHING OTHER THAN REPLACED THE FAILED COMPONENTS WITH IDENTICAL ONES DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD.*AK
