Description of the problem | On or about september 11, 2018 i noticed my right front tire was low on air. I took it to les schwab tire and they repaired a leak from a screw. A couple of days later i noticed the tire was still going low i took it back and they informed me that it had a cracked wheel. I purchased a new wheel from chevrolet and had less schwab install it for me . I just recently 2/22/2019 put new tires on the car and the dealership noted the brand new wheel i put on the right rear has cracks in it now as well as the left rear wheel which is losing air. These wheels are expensive i believe they retail for $800 each at the dealer and are defective and dangerous. Most of our miles are highway miles driving between san jose california and elk grove california between my offices. |
