2004 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER. CONSUMER STATES CONCERN REGARDING LOSS OF PRESSURE IN VEHICLE TIRES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE TIRE LEAKAGE WAS BECAUSE THE COATING ON THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT WHEEL RIMS WAS DETERIORATING AND NOT PERMITTING AN AIR TIGHT SEAL. *JB
STOCK CHRYSLER 17" CHROME ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT CAUSING THE TIRE TO LOSE AIR PRESSURE. WAS TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET INSPECTED - AFTER WHICH I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WARRANTY DEFECTIVE MATERIALS IF THE VEHICLE IS OVER 3 YEARS OLD OR HAS MORE THAN 36,000 MILES. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS/85,000 MILES. AN THE ROTTING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE RIM IS NOT LIMITED TO A SPECIFIC TO THE VEHICLE OF CHRYSLER'S PRODUCTION. IT EFFECTS ALL MAKES AN MODELS WITH THE CHROMED ALUMINUM RIMS. SEBRING - PT CRUISER - PACFICA - ETC. AN GIVING THE FACT THE RIMS DON'T HOLD AIR I BELIEVE THAT COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THAT EFFECT THE HANDLING AN BRAKING WHICH COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO LOSE CONTROL. CHRYSLER IS STILL CURRENTLY SELL'S THE SAME PRODUCT ON...
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY LOST AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AND A RIM; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE MANIFESTED REMOTE CONTROL PROBLEMS, AS WELL A CRACKED WINDSHIELD A BROKEN GAS TANK. IN ADDITION RACK AND PINION STEERING WAS DEFECTIVE, AND POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING. *AK
