"Missing Tire Inflator" charge from Ally at lease end

I turned my 2017 in a couple weeks ago and just received a letter from Ally charging me $100 to replace a missing "Tire Inflator".

I had no idea WTF this item is, never laid eyes on it, let alone touched it. Apparently this is some kind of tire pump located in the trunk? Has anyone come across this?

The only thing I can think of is that I had a fender bender where someone hit me at a red and I had the back bumper replaced at the dealership. Perhaps the body shop took it out and did not put it back. Total horseshit.

I believe the tire inflator kit was a QV- only item. the 2.0 only comes with runflats thus no need to include the inflator kit. Someone posted about this same problem with Ally a while ago; you might search for that thread to see their resolution.

Yes check your build sheet or a spec list to see if you even had one. Not cool for insurance to try and scam you. It's not a Quad for cripes sake.

Armed with the knowledge obtained from this forum, I called Ally and asserted that my car came with run-flats, there was no tire inflator, and my window sheet does not say tire inflation as an add-on. The person on the other end was just a garden variety customer service rep; he was apologetic, said he was going to update my account to reflect the disputed charge, but that I should expect a follow-up call next week after it is reviewed. I will update when I hear more.

Good luck on that follow-up call. Ally's customer service people are a joke. I called twice about a bogus unsubstantiated charge I received after turning in my lease. Both times I was told I'd receive a call the next day. Never got a call. On my third call I got transferred to a different department . That c/s agent was very helpful; resolved situation within hours. Sorry I didn't keep her name and direct phone.
