There are 7 owner-reported tires & wheels complaints for the 2012 Dodge Chargerin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
tire size is 235/55R19 the tires had to be replaced because they were wearing unevenly and loosing tread quicker than we believe they should. The rims prematurely rusted and the caps rusted so badly they could not be put back on the vehicle after the new tires we purchased were put on the car.
Purchased four Cooper Adventurer Tour P235/55R18 tires from Pep Boys Oct 2018. Drove them 19,000 miles with no road hazard incidents. I rotate tires every 5,000 miles. One tire developed a slow leak presently on the right rear side and now losing a couple psi per week. Placed the tire in a water filled wheelbarrow. Found hundreds of tiny bubbles developing around the entire sidewall where the design impressions are located. Problem is not at the bead nor at the tread. Suspect this could lead to a blowout due to a flawed manufacturing problem. Question is are the others from the same batch about to have the same problem. Have road hazard warranty but this is a tire flaw.
TIRE RIMS SUBJECT TO CRACKING, WHICH WILL REDUCE TIRE PRESSURE. TWO OF FOUR RIMS HAVE MINOR CRACKS WHICH REDUCED TIRE PRESSURE
I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW DECEMBER 11, 2011 AND IT IS A 2012 DODGE CHARGER SXT PLUS. I HAD NO ISSUE WITH MY WHEELS, THEN IN JULY 2018 ISH. I WAS HAVING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS TIRE PROBLEMS. LES SCHWAB LOOKED AT MY TIRES AND IT WAS A BENT RIM. I PAID ALMOT $400 FOR A NEW RIM. THEN 3 MONTHS LATER I HAD ANOTHER BENT RIM, THIS TIME THE REPLAEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MOPAR PART FOR OVER $600.. I WENT TO AN ONLINE STORE AND PURCHASED 4 NEW RIMS FOR AROUND $800, ALMOST THE EXACT SAME RIMS. I AM PERPLEXED THAT I CAN DRIVE THIS CAR FOR OVER 6 YEARS AND THEN HAVE 2 BENT RIMS WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THESE.
