| Description of the problem | 5 months after recieveing the car i was on the highway and my front passanger side tire air presuure indicator went off. I pulled off the highway and put a "fix a flat" in the tire thinking i ran over a nail. The tire went low again so i drove to the local mercedes benz dealership where they mounted the car and showed me the "fix a flat" gel coming out of the side of the undamaged tire indicating a cracked wheel. They removed the tire and infact i had a cracked wheel. 4 months later my front drivers side air pressure indicator went off where the merdcedes dealership confirmed my second cracked wheel in less than a years time! |
