“2009 Dodge nitro - tpm valve stems corrosion at valve stem retaining nut -- nut fails and valve stem blows out while driving - tire goes flat so fast operator can not stop before tire is damaged and has to be replaced - dealer will replace valve stem but will not cover the tire loss - this could be very un safe at high speeds - we have had 4 to 5 of these - also includes jeep liberty - I feel Dodge needs to send out a recall to inspect the valve stem retaining nut on vehicle with tpm systems.”

NHTSA complaint #10399872, filed 2011-05, 32,968 miles

“2009 Dodge nitro - tpm valve stems corrosion at valve stem retaining nut: when retaining nut fails, falls off, it then chews up the inside of the tire, and the valve stem blows out tire while driving - tire goes flat so fast operator must stop before wheel is damaged and now we find out from the dealer that all 4 tires have to be replaced on 4x4 vehicles or it will lead to transfer case (transmission) issues down the road. You cannot just replace the damaged tire. …”
