Wheel Rim Problems of Oldsmobile Aurora

The contact owns a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora. On two different occasions, the rims failed due to inner corrosion and deterioration. Additionally, the chrome was peeling and air was leaking from the rims. One tire continued to lose air, so the contact purchased four new tires. A few days later, the tires began losing air again due to deteriorated and corroded rims. The purchase date was unknown. The current mileage was 63,100 and failure mileage was 36,446. Updated 3/5/08.

Last year I took my 1999 Aurora in to tire dealer due to very slow leak in tire. The tire dealer said the slow leak was common in gm vehicles with aluminum rims. They said the problem is due to aluminum oxide corrosion between the rim and tire bead. 1-2 times per month the tires look low and I have to fill them. Today I finally took the car in to the tire dealer again and they said the only permanent solution is to replace the rims. The car only has 70,000 miles on it.

1999 Oldsmobile Aurora aluminum rims leak air. They have leaked air since new.

Possible due to dropping or poor handling at manufacture, the inside wall of the tire had a small hole in it about the damaged wheel, which was caused by dropping the rim on the floor, resulted in a slow leak and then a flat.
