WHEELS:RIM
WHEELS ON THIS CAR ARE TOO SOFT AND BEND EASILY. WHEN BENT BADLY ENOUGH, THEY LOSE THE SEAL ON THE TIRE AND CAUSE A BLOWOUT. SO FAR I'VE HAD 9 WHEELS FAIL, WITH ONE BLOWOUT, 5 FLAT TIRES. MY TIRE DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS THE #1 REPLACED WHEEL IN THE NATION, WITH #2 VERY FAR BEHIND. CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALER BOTH REFUSE ANY ASSISTANCE. *AK
