Sebring

I have had 8 tire failures during 15000miles of driving. Been to Goodyear dealer 56 times and car dealer 6 times. Both say there is nothjing wrong, but aaa truck drivers all say it is faulty rims on the Sebring. I have read of dozens of similar problems on the NHTSA web sitre. Took copies to dealer who disputes the validity of persons' report to NHTSA. I have spoked to Chrysler hotline 3 times and Goodyear's once.all say there is no reported problem and to go to dealer. I told dealers I am afraid to drive this car on a freeway. The car has been farther than 30 miles from home. Most occurences happened during the warranty but dealer now says it is past warranty. I suspect cvhrysler is hiding information from other Sebring owners and there have been no deaths from flat tires, so there has been no recall. I will continue to contact Chrysler to get total failures of the tires on the Sebrings. NHTSA has reports on wheel problems on 1998 and 1999 Sebrings. I have all the records of aaa calls, dealer visits and tire dealer visits. (tiresize: P215/50ri7)

Alluminum rims lose air. Has happened three times in three years - tire explodes. Dealer said that Chrysler has problem with rims on Sebrings. My out of pocket expenses to date are around $2,000 plus an increase in auto insurance. I want Chrysler to recall the aluminum rims. They are dangerous. We've had three accidents in three years because of exploding tires in freeway driving. Please do something. (tiresize: Standard)( dot number: Tire size: Standard )
