What owners report
FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WENT FLAT AND SUSPECTED TIRE HAD A SMALL LEAK. DEALER INSPECTED AND INDICATED THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED, CAUSING THE LEAK. WHILE WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT, A VEHICLE INSPECTION INDICATED THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS ALSO CRACKED, THOUGH NOT YET LEAKING AIR. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DEALER-SERVICED WITH OEM RUN-FLAT TIRES. DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD SEEN IT. I OPTED TO PURCHASE AFTERMARKET WHEELS AS REPLACEMENTS AS ORIGINALS WERE OBVIOUSLY FRAGILE, AND EXPENSIVE. DATE IS ESTIMATED AS IT'S NOT CERTAIN WHEN THE WHEEL CRACK ACTUALLY OCCURRED. DEALER SERVICE COMPLETED ON THAT DATE.
MY CAR ONLY HAS 33000 MILES ON IT. THE WHEELS HAS PIRELLI RFT, THAT COMES WITH THE CAR. BOTH THE ORIGINAL MERCEDES FRONT RIMS OF MY CAR CRACKED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH MY FAMILY. THIS IS HIGHLY CONCERNING AND LIFE THREATENING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MERCEDES WHEELS AND 100S OF CUSTOMERS ARE IMPACTED BY THE SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO MERCEDES AND MERCEDES DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE.
