“Tpms light came on. Stopped to check low tire. As I was trying to air it up I had a hard time. I inspected the valve stem to find it cracked around the threaded part. I took it to a Chrysler dealer. I was told the TPMS was not under warranty because it was not an internal failure. However when I had them order me one I was told that this TPMS part was on back order. 75,000 of them. Sounds like a manufacturing defect to me.”
NHTSA complaint #10370527, filed 2010-12, 17,589 miles“The check tire light came on in my 2008 Chrysler Pt Cruiser. Upon filling the tire, the air-hose popped off and hit me. I found that the threaded portion of the stem was broken off along with the valve. I contacted Chrysler about the sensor and the problem that I had experienced and was told that it was common wear and tear and that they did not cover this. I have checked with multiple tire sales companies and have found that this is a common problem and how the problem occurs. The air hose has to be placed and held totally straight on the valve. …”
