problem #1

Jul 222004

PT Cruiser 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 41,000 miles
2001 Chrysler PT CRUISER. Alloy wheels corrosion around valve stem hole, results in loss of tire pressure. On an extended trip this may go unnotice and lead to tire failure. 3 of 4 wheels on the car exhibit this problem. Dealer aknowledges the problem. Other owners have noted this problem in internet forums. Chrysler "field rep" offered to pay half of retail cost for new wheels, ie. I pay for wheels at no cost or possible profit by Chrysler depending on markup. Wheels are available for examination.
