| The rims on my scion/toyota are cracking are causing the tires to leak air. i contacted scion/toyota back in february 2011 about these rims cracking and was informed that they are not covered under warranty. goodyear suggested that i contact mason welding company to have the wheels welded. i had to again replace the tires from goodyear because they were worn on the inside. goodyear did stand behind the warranty on the tires but shortly after the rim starting leaking air again and my daughter got a flat tire. i was again informed that the rims were leaking. she when to firestone, and again was told that the rims were causing the tires to leak air. i had to have the rims welded again. i went to south caroline, where my daughter goes to college to bring her home. i drove the car back and now the rims are leaking again. i cannot believe that scion/toyota can offer these wheels and then not assume any responsibly. this is very dangerous to have these rims on the road if they continue to cause the tires to go flat. i need your assistance in this matter, as i feel this is a major safety issue to have cars on the road that the rims are not strong enough to with stand our roadways. | |||

| Car purchased with 61 miles on 2/18/2007. during driving at 50 mph on the highway encountered a piece of wood, approx. 2x4x12. unavoidably ran over wood and got a flat tire. took vehicle to a tire shop on 2/25/07 with 560 miles on it and they saw no tire damage, no vehicle damage, but the wheel was cracked along the seam. toyota of el cajon, ca denied warranty coverage saying it was due to an impact, even though they admittedly noticed that it looked like a possible defect in the wheel. vehicle is a 07 scion tc. *nm | |||
