Look — Chrysler's tire-related story is well-documented in the NHTSA file, and it ain't pretty. 122 complaints across 15 year-model entries from 2005 to 2014. Not a small number. 2005 Chrysler 300 leads the list, but the same issue shows up across multiple years on the same platform. 1 fatality report on file with NHTSA tied to this category on Chrysler vehicles. That elevates this from nuisance to safety-critical. Repair cost runs around $150 on average — relatively low for an aggregated category. Across the 50 complaints reporting odometer mileage, the median failure lands at about 28,811 miles. Drive it across the conditions it will actually see — heat, cold, highway, stop-and-go. Pattern complaints surface under load, not in the dealer parking lot.
