Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet silverado. While driving approximately 8 mph, the contact "felt a crunch" on the front passenger side wheel. Immediately, the wheel slumped and the chrome wheel cover fell out. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact exited the vehicle and noticed that the fractured wheel was rusted out. With some help, the contact mounted a spare wheel, drove home, and then took the vehicle to the dealer where it was confirmed that the wheel fractured and needed to be replaced, at cost. The contact refused and drove home. The manufacturer stated that there was no recall and advised the contact to file a complaint with nhtsa. The wheel was not replaced. The failure mileage was 143,000. ... Updated 08/15/16 *bf consumer stated it is my assessment that the attached wheel cover traps water between the cover and the wheel, allowing extensive rust to occur over time. These chrome covers are factory installed. Updated 06/11/18*jb |
