| Description of the problem | Since i bought the my 2016 c450 amg in 2016 brand new i started having issues with the rims a month later after purchasing the car. I took it back to the service department and they told me it was a cracked rim ,i responded by letting them know i never ran over any potholes. The rim was repaired, but a month later again the problem accurred. My car has been in the service department for the same problem every other month for the same problem on each of my tires ,all of my tires have been cracked without me running into potholes. Just yesterday i received my car back from service after a week of them having it for a cracked rim again on the front right side. When i left the service department the tire pressure was at 36 percent this morning all the tires are at their normal pressure except the right front tire it's at 30 percent. It is losing air again. My car has been to the service department over 15 time for problems with crack rims without me running into potholes. Is there a manufacturing problem with the rims? |
