Not sure you would have found this in a search since it was buried under a different topic. Use it or not for what it's worth.
quote: quote: I have been watching these posts for some time (I gave up in disgust when Chrysler started turning down warranty claims on peeling chrome wheels DURING THE ORIGINAL 3/36 WARRANTY PERIOD), but will offer some observations and benefit of my web surfing. No, I don’t believe there’s a snowball’s chance in he!! of getting wheels replaced by NHTSA action since there is no way that peeling chrome can be considered a safety issue. However, with all of the discussion that’s taken place, I have yet to see mention of “The Implied Warranty of Merchantability” or liability for “Latent Defects”. I believe if someone is diligent enough, they could get Chrysler to replace everyone’s wheels (including center caps). Window regulators would also fall into this category. Here’s what I found on the web. Do with it as you will:
quote: 1. It is easy to prove that a “hidden defect” exists since new wheels have peeled in the box.
quote: 1. “fair average quality” - is the average chrome wheel expected to peel in the box even before it is installed? Although used cars may be sold “As Is” (still able to prove “latent defect” if the seller knew about a problem), it is difficult to disclaim the “Warranty of Merchantability” on a new car regardless of the written warranty. I have more information on this if anyone is interested. |

My wheels were replaced under warranty by DC four months before I purchased it. The new ones are not peeling. Charlie |

Count me in. I just bought new wheels to replace the real bad originals that pretty much were all flaked off. Sooner or later, I'm sure these new ones will flake as well. Let me know what I can do to help. |
