“The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Durango. While driving 65 MPH and towing an rv, the front driver side tire came off of the rim. The vehicle and the rv were destroyed. The tires were inspected and a technician stated that they were 2-ply sidewall tires, which could only support 1,300 lbs, although the manufactured advertised that the vehicle could tow 10,000 lbs. Therefore, the tires that were placed on the vehicle were meant for light passenger vehicles. The failure and current mileages were 12,000. Updated 09/16/08. Updated 09/18/08.”

“Tire pressure extremely low several times and the sensor never detected change in air pressure. Major problem occurred while driving and tire was completely flat and sensor never detected problems. This could have caused a serious blow out and car crash.”

“Spare wheel and tire are different size (smaller) than the wheels/tires on the ground. Car purchased with full size spare specified. Dealer and chrysler customer care say the spare you have is what the specs say are standard . They also say, it's only a spare . This full-time 4wd car contains many warnings about keeping all tires same inflation, size, type, etc. To prevent damage to the transmission. After the same problem with light trucks occurred, chrysler began shipping spare same size as tires on the ground.”
