My 2001 Pt Cruiser has a problem with chrome peeling from the rims. On 5/24/04 Chrysler replaced 3 of the rims because they told us the chrome was peeling because their chrome was to blame. We have a problem with the 4th rim but now the chrome is peeling around the stem which inturn is making the air leak and now Chrysler has said they will not fix the problem because now it is an environmental issue. On 11/22/04 while driving I lost air pressure and the car pulled from me, I had control because I was only going 20 mph. I have done research and Chrysler has replaced some rims and not others, there is a whole web site of people who are having the same problem and Chrysler doesn't want to help or hear anything more. My car is still under warranty and I feel this is a safety issue and could become a huge problem.

The tires were losing air pressure on a daily basis which caused the tires to fill up with water. Consumer took the vehicle to the goodyear for inspection, and mechanic determined that the rims corroded, causing the tires to lose pressure.

Chrome plating 5 spoke wheels chrome plating has bubbled/corroded on the sealing surface of the tire bead. This has caused the tire to leak air.

Ihave a defective rim resulting in a wheel that loses 1-2 pounds of air pressure per week. Chrysler has had the car for service 4 times it the last six weeks and denies there is a problem.

Wheel rims out-of-round .

I own a 2001 Pt Cruiser. I tried to have a flat tire fixed on this car, the tire service person informed me that the rim had a crack that was more then an inch long and they would not allow a new tire to be mounted on the rim. I had to get a friend to pick me and my children up and go without my car until I was able to locate a replacement rim used from a rim dealer in dayton ohio. All the original rims belonging to this car are pitted, peeling, some won't hold air or are split. The rims I'm told are the cause of tire failure and premature wear and frequent flats. I find these issues to create unsafe driving conditions.

Outcome of my complaint #769146 dated may 1, 2001. The problems with the chrome wheels was finally resolved when Chrysler replaced the front two chrome wheels at 24,000 miles because they were both out-of-round since new, creating the wobble in the steering, uneven steering, vibration and tire wear. I am still awaiting reimbursement for the two new pro-rated (by goodyear) eagle gt tires on the front, as well as awaiting word about a promise to reeplace the two rear eagle gt tires as well. Anyone with the same wheel and/or tire problems can write to me and I will advise you as to what to do. . . . Johngubbio@aol. Com.
