Wheel Rim problems of the 1999 Chrysler LHS

The tires on my car go flat every time the weather changes. I have the factory 17" aluminum rims. Discount tire said the chrome on the rims keep flaking off breaking the seal at the rim and going flat. They usually go flat when I'm parked. What happens if I'm driving on the freeway at 70 mph when it fails?.

Consumer complained about all four tires becoming flat while vehicle was sitting in the garage. Consumer had to check the tires before going out and returning. She had this problem checked by the dealer, and was told that the problem might be the rims, but were not sure. Also, consumer was told that the problem was unexplainable. Consumer purchased 4 new sets of rims and tires.

While driving ,the driver side tire blew out without warning. The dealer stated the chrome rim bubbled up and caused the blow out. The consumer couldn't keep any of the tires properly inflated. Air was added to the tires 3-4 times per week.

The tires did not hold proper air pressure, consumer had tubes installed on the tires, however the air pressure problems continued, tire dealer diagnosed the plating from the chrome rims, flaked off, the flakes had eaten through the tubes. The chrome rims were defective. Scc.

The chrome rims after a short period of time will peeled which did not permit a solid seal. This caused the tires to leak air. Consumer has had a total of 3 blow outs, 2 within the same week. Due to this problem the front end parts had to be replaced. Tires were replaced a total of 20 times.
