SINCE PURCHASING MY SEBRING IN MAY '98 I HAVE HAD 6 FLAT TIRES. I HAVE NEVER HAD A FLAT BEFORE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH OTHER SEBRING OWNERS IT SEEMS THERE COULD BE A FAULT IN THE SOFT ALUMINUM WHEELS. I HAVE JUST HAD MY SECOND FLAT IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND AM AFRAID TO GET INTO THE CAR. THIS IS HAPPENING ON 3 OF MY WHEELS,NOT JUST THE SAME ONE. USUALLY IT IS A SLOW LEAK. I WORK FOR THE AIRLINES AND I AM OUT OF THE COUNTRY QUITE A BIT. THIS MAKES IT EVEN MORE STRANGE AS I PROBABLY DRIVE HALF THE MILES OF ANYONE ELSE. SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR FROM ANOTHER PERSON IN MAY '98 I HAVE DRIVEN ONLY 15,000 MILES. WHAT SHOULD I DO? THANKS.*AK (DOT NUMBER: ? TIRESIZE: OEP215/50R)
