| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||
