| Description of the problem | Contacted jeep to tell them of our rims that are failing,due to product deterioration and they decided to settle for half of the cost at the first call. These rims are expanding at the mag part of the wheel & separating from the rim. This is my wife's car and i might not be around if they fail & cause an accident. I don't feel i should have to pay a thousand dollars to replace rims that went bad at 22,000 miles. Keith bishop |
