“Low tire pressure came on. Check tire for air pressure and the valve stem broke and flew off 20 feet. Thank goodness I was not driving as this would of caused a crash indeed especially as I was going to be traveling on the expressway at 75 MPH. Something needs to be done about this problem before someone gets maimed or killed.”
NHTSA complaint #10501012, filed 2013-03, 43,000 miles“Tpm was on. Stopped to check tire pressure. When went to unscrew cap on rear passenger tire, air started shooting out and tire went flat in seconds. Valve stem assembly had corroded and broke off in cap. If I were driving, my four children and I could be dead. This would have been a very serious accident. Something has to be done. Dodge is using faulty valve stems, endangering people's lives.”
NHTSA complaint #10511047, filed 2013-05, 94,668 miles“Valve system failure: while traveling 2000 miles from home, the low tire pressure dashboard warning light came on. We checked all tire pressure and filled one low tire, but light came back on. We took it to mechanic who noted that the valve stem was corroded and cracked, and could have come dislodged at any moment, causing a blowout. Replaced TPMS sensor at a cost of $153.”
