1 Wheel Cover/hubcaps problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2005

The plastic wheel cap that covers the hub keeps separating from the wheel. I've had three replaced under warranty, the tires hadn't even been removed from the vehicle. They are expensive to replace. Poor wheel design prevents the caps to snap back into place when they are removed, ie. . . To balance tires.
