This is the second time one of my tires came off the rim while driving. I have to check the air pressure every other day, as it is always low. This is a safety hazard that chrysler refuses to address. I have 17" chrome rims.

2000 chysler 300m. Myself and two neighbors have had this same problem numberous times this year. We are finding that the wheels are rusting/peeling and causing the seal on the tires to break, thus, causing constant flat tires. We've all had the wheels cleaned and re-sealed numerous times but feel this is a real safety hazard let alone a concern of owners finding flat tires all the time. Our dealer indicated no recalls have been made and that there were some problems with the manufacturer of the wheels. That's it....we'd love to have these wheels replaced at no cost to us since they are expensive. Any information would be greatly appreciated as to what we as owners (3) can do about this.

Dt: the tire rims will not hold air because the chrome plating pealed off the stainless rims. The consumer contacted the dealer, they said the consumer would have to replace them by himself. This started on august 24, 2004. Originally, the consumer thought a nail was in the tire. Took vehicle to the dealer and the service manager said it was a common complaint. Every other day had to fill up to 15 to 20 lbs of air.*ak

I have been driving in fear for 5 years. I bought my chrysler 2000 300m at laflam, runnemede, nj and have had it serviced only by mall chrysler, mount laurel nj. My front tires (especially the right tire) go flat every 4-5 days. Goodyear has tried to fix them they have replaced the tires 2x. The problem persisted. Laflam and mall chrysler will not help me. The 800 # customer service will not help me. The mechanic at mall suggested about 6 months ago to replace the rims. When I suggested this to all of the above no one would help me. I'm upset for two reasons 1)no one ever suggested the rims may be my problem all these years!! 2) I drive with caution and concern every time I get into the car. 3)no one at chrysler cares that I have been driving in fear. I have never in my life ever dealt with a company that was this heartless! I now drive with signs in my car warning other people that chrysler service is the worst and my car is not safe. I am saving my money to trade the car in for a safe car. I hate to see anyone drive it, but don't know what else to do.

Tires are constantly being deflated because of corrosion on wheels. Had the wheels cleaned but problem still exists.

Rims corroded where the tire should have sealed against the rim. As a result, the tire flattened without warning.

Tire pressure drops weekly. I must check my tire pressure at least every other week or it will drop below 20 psi. I usually run my tires at the maximum recommended tire pressure to reduce the interval at which I must check the tires. Replaced tires and changed brands without any difference. Right front tire looked low and was checked to be at 26 psi. I hit a pothole on the way home and put a severe dent in the rim. Tire went flat approximately 30 seconds later. (speed at 45 MPH). Replaced front wheel/tire with full size spare. Rear tire which had 30 psi went flat and rolled off the rim in a corner within 5 minutes. Rear rim also had a dent. It appears to be a corrosion sealing issue. The rims are 17" aluminum with steel center cap mounting brackets and bolted to a steel hub. I will paint the new rims and hubs to prevent the steel to aluminum contact which has been suggested to be the cause of the corrosion by a different dealer.
