“Tire sensor light went on in our 2008 Dodge Caravan. Went to put air in tires and found 2 of the 4 valves stems broken off towards the end of the stem. The pieces were still there being held in place by the cap. We purchased this vehicle used in june 2009. These are the TPMS stems. I went online and found that this is a very common problem. Why hasn't there been a recall on these type of stems?”
NHTSA complaint #10292978, filed 2009-11, 40,000 miles“The TPMS stems have broken off the wheels on my car while driving tire went flat and I happened to be parking at the time so thank god I was not on the highway at the time.”
NHTSA complaint #10360811, filed 2010-10, 33,000 miles“I was about to add air to the front tire and was removing the cap when the valve blew apart about halfway down the stem. The tire went flat immediately. We had the dealer replace the tpm valve stem but they had to order it and it took a week to get the part. I asked them to change the other 3, but they said they will only replace one valve at a time as they fail. My wife was 9 months pregnant at the time and this is our only car, so I was concerned that it would happen again, possibly while driving since it had broken so easily. …”
NHTSA complaint #10343753, filed 2010-07, 27,000 miles“I have a 2008 Dodge Caravan and just touched the tire valve stem. The top of the cap came off and the tire deflated in less than 8 seconds. I called the dealer and they said it's not covered. I asked the repair shop and they said the tire pressure monitoring sensor stems on the chrysler/Dodge commonly break off and they have had many. It's a common problem. On the Dodge/chrysler forums this happens many time. It ended up costing me 82 and I had to take the tire off. Just by brushing the stem it cracked off is a major safety concern. …”
