| Description of the problem | This is not an incident. It's an ongoing problem. All four wheels began to rust when the vehicle had about 20,000 miles on it. The rust is occurring on the sections of the wheels that aren't covered by the hub cap, in other words the exposed-to-the- elements part of the wheel. Recently it was recommended to me that i replace all 4 wheels because the rust, as it's gotten steadily worse, will likely affect the structural integrity of the wheels and could create a serious safety concern when the car is moving. |
