Hey guys,
I just joined and I bought my first Viper 3 months ago. It's a 2008 SRT10. I attached a pic just for kicks.
Anyhow, my heart was broken last week. The city had dug out a trench across the asphalt in the road by my house to run a line or something under the road and filled it in with gravel. Well, it rained and washed out the gravel in the trench and I was driving through there the night after it rained and hit the trench and it caused the right rear tire to blow out and bent all four rims.
I have road hazard insurance through the dealer for just this reason so I thought everything would be ok but I was informed yesterday that they would not pay for the other three rims because there is a clause in the contract that states that if the tires are not damaged, the rims are not covered. They are H-spokes so they are NOT cheap.
Aside from suing the city, which I am not really planning to do, is there any way I could convince the dealership to replace the damn rims and tires on the other wheels? I mean, they are Z rated tires and I don't want to have another blowout at 200mph just because the impact caused a sidewall weakness. They are saying that the tires weren't damnaged just because they aren't flat but I find it hard to believe the tires wouldn't be damaged if the impact was hard enough to bend all four rims and blow a tire.
Thanks in advance.
