This is actually the second time I met the issue within the four years I own the car. After some researches, I decide to file this complain so some 3rd party can investigate into it. I have a Mercedes AMG C63s 2019 version with 19 inch OEM wheel. Firstly, it was a low tire pressure light. The dealership confirmed the tire was fine and there was actually a crack on the inner portion of the wheel that was causing the tire to leak air. I did not remember hitting a pothole or anything, and the tire showed no signs of damage so the wheels must be defective. But the dealership did not recognize it and would charge $1500/wheel to replace it. Please investigate into the Mercerdes AMG C-class OEM wheel rim as I also saw tons of people complaining this issue in a MB forum. The tricky part is that when another driver argued with the dealership that if they were not responsible for the wheel crack, he would take the wheel for a full evaluation. Then the dealership was willing to replace the wheel for free for the driver. Please investigate into this issue as wheel crack is serious safety issue.
