| Tires will not maintain inflation apparently due to rim material. multiple cleanings and resealings have not resolved the problems. new tires have not resolved the problem. new valve stems have not resolved the problem. inflation decreases typically 10 to 12 psi in a week period on front tires. slower on rear tires. this has been ongoing for over two years.*ak | |||

| The 17-inch chrome rims will not maintain a bead or hold air pressure more than a few days. this vehicle is currently on the 3rd set of tires in 80k miles. due to the constant state of low pressure in the tires, i have experienced premature tire wear on the factory installed tires and the replacement eagle ls tires. the last set of tires had been remounted multiple times with bead sealant from several tire installers and a chrysler service center. proof in the inability of the tire to maintain a bead-seal existed when the vehicle was driven out of my driveway, and during a left-hand turn to enter the roadway, the tire slipped from the rim completely and partially dismounted from the rim, resulting in the rim damaging the tire beyond repair. this incident occurred during a low-speed turn (5-mph) on a tire that was not visibly flat. the air pressure in tires mounted on these rims must be checked almost daily in order to ensure reasonably safe driveablity of the vehicle. *nm | |||

| Chrysler crome wheels will not hold air pressure in tires. it is a everyday job to check the air pressure in tires to be sure the car is safe to drive. i have returned to the dealer many times to reseal tire bead and rebalance tires. it is obvious to me that the crome wheels are defective and i fear i may have an accident because of lost air pressure in tires.*ak | |||
