my stock 06 chrome clad 20's are pitting on the outside lip due to the salt/sand this winter....anything I can do to make them go away...?

 

take it to the dealer and they will fix it if ur truck is under warrenty

 

nope sure aint.....

 

pitting? sounds like a defect

 

Next oil change I'm going to find out. Bought a 07 new in Sept. Pitting 2 wheels and both bumpers are rusting on the outside.

 

I just dropped off my truck this morning. 5k on it, all 4 chrome clad wheels andthe rear bumper. This is a little disappointing.

 

I am not saying that the dealer will not cover it under warranty, but if they want to say that it was caused by salt/sand, they can get out of covering it by this paragraph in your warranty manual....

3.2 Environmental Factors Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover damage caused by
environmental factors such as airborne fallout, bird
droppings, chemicals, tree sap, salt, ocean spray, acid
rain, and road hazards. Nor do your warranties cover
damage caused by hailstorms, windstorms, tornadoes,
sandstorms, lightning, floods, and earthquakes.
Your warranties do not cover conditions resulting
from anything impacting the truck. This includes
cracks and chips in glass, scratches and chips in
painted surfaces, or damage from collision.

 

Well, I picked up my truck and they covered the bumper and denied the wheels. They said it was "normal wear and tear" via stone chips. But as the above paragraph reads, the wheel is not a painted surface so the stone chip does not apply. Now I am going to go to another dealership (where I bought the truck) and get them to cover the wheels.

It is no wonder people don't buy a vehicle from Chrysler. It is like pulling teeth to get them to warranty an item!! Very sad.

 

mines an 06 with only 20,000 kms and i already had one set replaced under warranty no problem but the new ones have also pitted. I used some 320 wet sand paper and managed to get rid of the pits.

 

i've got a wheel on order right now that was under warranty.
