Wilde lexus car wash8/19/2023 ![]() If this is the case then they should not sell this type of rim in an area surrounded by water.Ģ. The reasons they gave me for the corrosion, were of course my doings, and let me tell you what they were:ġ. They had plenty of opportunity to find the corrosion and repair or replace them. This is still not acceptable, as I feel the rims should be covered under warranty. ![]() ![]() They would split wholesale cost with me and they would pay labor costs. So he (the service advisor) went to his service manager and they came back with a $900 offer. I told them their offer was not acceptable. I rely on Wilde Lexus of Sarasota to keep me informed about my car that is why I pay big bucks, at their dealership to keep it maintained including ALL scheduled maintenances (never under $600), including just getting the oil changed, which if you don't already know, it cost twice as much as Jiffy Lube. Now wouldn’t you think with all of this rotating, inspecting and adjusting the air pressure in these tires, they would have seen the CORROSION on the rims? Perhaps they did and just didn't want to let me know because the car was still under warranty and they would have to replace them. At this time, they also replaced my brakes (01/07/08) Mileage 31,510 and then on 04/24/08 with just 33,124 miles, I had the 35,000 and again they Rotated the tires, inspected the tires, adjusted the air pressures and inspected tires for proper wear. 3) My car has been in for all scheduled maintenance, 5,000 Miles, they Rotated the tires ,10,000 Miles, they Rotated the tires, 15,000 Miles, they Rotated the tires, 30,000 Miles, they Rotated the tires and my invoice states that they inspected the tires and adjusted tire air pressures and inspected tires for proper wear. ![]() 2) My warranty had just gone out two must prior. 1) Well that would be perfectly fine if I were going to keep the car but I told them I was trading it in next year when the new body style comes out. Then I get a call later in the day that it is going to cost me over $2,000 to have the rims replaced. I told them there was nothing to analyze, I am telling you what the problem is. First of all, I told them what the problem was and they told me I was going to have to pay $55 for them to analyze the problem. I truly did not think I would have a problem either getting them repaired or replaced. They informed me that the rims were corroding and I needed to take them back to Lexus. They were smart enough to look at the rims. These guys completely took all tires off the rims and checked them and found nothing. One day while leaving work, one tire was so low that I did not think I would make it to Tire Kingdom. Again, three days later, back to Ford and they still did not find anything wrong with the tires. Two days later, the tires were low again so I returned to Ford and they checked the tires again, still nothing. They filled the tires with nitrogen and told me there was nothing wrong with the tires but they did however change out all of the valve stems. I told them about 2 tires that kept going low. So, I took my car to Ford, the only place in town that did it. The tires are brand new so a friend talked me in to having nitrogen put in them. Has anyone ever heard of the inside of your rims corroding? My tires have been losing air since January.
