I purchased 4 new douglas extra-trak ii tires at walmart and within only a few months was having major "alignment" type issues. I thought maybe the tires needed to be balanced and rotated and have the pressure checked. Walmart tech had one of my tires that was a few lbs low and it blew out after he put it back up to appropriate levels. Blow out was out the side and not visible from the outside of the tire. Other side bulges were found on the other tires. Since the tires had been driven, walmart only gave me a "discount" on replacing the one that blew out - the others were my problem according to them. These tires are obviously defective and not safe.

Was driving along and the transmission went out at about 35,598.00 miles . The brakes make a god awful noise I have had them checked they say nothing is wrong but I don't believe them the brain box went out the same time as the tranmission. The dashboard on top has cracked for no reason the car is garage kept it pulls to the right for no reason they say and it has started making rattling noises from the passenger side the trunk lid shocks are given out and the car just turned to 40,000.00 miles I think they make them to break at a certain tine and no one will do anything about theses problems I think my next car might be a toyota at least they don't fall apart so easy because I baby this car like its the only one I will ever own if chrysler wanted to do the right thing they would take this lemon back and give me a new one free of charge and I would do the chrysler adversement all over it for them as long as it looks good . Because I have no money for another new automobile have a family to take care of and im not allowed to work anymore this would be a great thin tanks for listening.

2002 chrysler pt cruiser with chrome plated 5-spoke wheels; chrome plating has bubbled/corroded on the sealing surface of the tire bead. This has caused slow leakage of air in tires. Unless the pressure is adjusted weekly or more often, the tire pressure gets low causing excessive wear and overheating which could lead to catastropic failure. This condition progresses over time and exposure to road caustics & salt.
