problem #1

Aug 182006

Avalon 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 54,500 miles
After driving two hours my wife arrived at her destination and found one tire nearly flat. The tire was fine, the leak was actually through a pinhole leak in the steel rim of the wheel. No one was hurt but a serious accident could have occurred. We believe this wheel had a manufacturer's defect from day one, but the dealer did not replace the wheel because he said it was beyond the 3-year 36000 mile warranty.
