| 1999 | WHEELS:RIM | I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY WHEELS FOR AT LEAST 4 OR 5 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THEM. I GET FLAT TIRES OFTEN WHICH IS A PAIN. I AM 63 NOW AND DO NOT HAVE HELP WITH THIS. I BOUGHT A COMPRESSOR TO ASSIST ME IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE BEE OUT IN SNOW STORMS WITH FLAT TIRES. I WAS TOLD BY MARKETPLACE CHRYSLER, ROCHESTER, NY THAT I COULD BUY SOME WHEELS TO REPLACE THE ONES I HAVE. THE MAIN COMPANY DAIMLER CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED BY EMAIL AND TELEPHONE AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THEM. BOTH DAIMLER AND MARKETPLACE HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS TOO COSTLY FOR THEM TO CORRECT. I HAVE GONE TO DUNN TIRES. ROCHESTER, NY. THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THE NORTH. DUNN PUT NITROGEN IN THE TIRES WHICH HAS HELPED A LITTLE, BUT I STILL GET FLAT TIRES. I FEEL WHEN YOU PAY AS MUCH AS I HAVE FOR A CAR, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BUY NEW WHEELS. MY COWORKER TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR SITE WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH CHRYSLER. I NOTICED THAT THEY MADE SURE THAT THE 300 DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME WHEEL PROBLEM. INTERESTING. *NM |
