My tires keep leaking air. I was informed it was my rims are flaking causing razor cuts in my tires. About 2 weeks ago the front right tire started leaking, then a week ago the left one started leaking and a day or two after that the rear passenger tire is now leaking also.

2006 buick lucerne chrome wheels failure. I started to experience flat tires constantly. Took the car in to a tire shop, I was told that the chrome wheels are corroded to the point that they will not seal probably. I informed gm about the issue. I was told that the car was not under warranty and gm would not replace the wheels. The last time I drove the car the front passenger tire deflated causing me to loose control which resulted with me going in the medium. The car has not been driven since. The mileage is 80,000. There needs to be a safety recall done on the chrome rims. Gm knows that this a problem and will not solve the issue.

Vehicle has numerous issues over the years. 80k miles currently, tires leak air because of corrosion on the rims, this is my 2nd set of tires not counting the set the vehicle came with, breaks have been done twice, rotors have been replaced, both front door handles have come off, problems with the leveler, now door locks lock/unlock while driving but not just once (might happen 6-8 times). Local dealer & service station have performed repairs/replacements. Already been under 2 recalls.

I own a 2006 buick lucerne. I took on 6-11-16 to dealer had my tires replaced. Ever since, all four new tires are losing air. Tire pressure light comes on all the time. The chrome plating is flaking off the rims, losing the seal. Dealer has re-sealed the four twice since 6-11-16 only 51,000 miles on this car. 2016 is the first the tire pressure light has ever come on. Corrosion is a problem. However, the batch of chrome plating was faulty. Updated 08/08/16

Manufacture's supplied chrome wheels have defective chrome plating allowing the chrome to flake off breaking the seal with the tire resulting in the tire losing air pressure and subsequent drive-ability problem.
