“I have owned this 2005 Dodge sprinter for over a year and have had 4 flat tires due to valve stem failures (it is sitting in my parking lot right now with a flat front drivers tire) the valve stem bulges and spits out air as soon as I fill it. I can feel the leak and see the stem bulge when try to put air in the tire . I have seen other sprinters with this problem mercedes recalled 2004 sprinter for this problem but it is obvious that more vehicles are affected. This is a very dangerous situation if they were to fail on a loaded vehicle at highway speeds.”

NHTSA complaint #10343745, filed 2010-07, 28,000 miles

“2005 Dodge sprinter (84857 miles) had emergency brake worked on at dealer. Approximately 187 miles and roughly 45-50 hours later the rear wheel on the driver's side of vehicle fell off. Four of five lug bolts were missing. The fifth lug nut was still attached, but badly bent. Head of service department said it was common knowledge that aluminum rims and steel wheels were incompatible and this was the reason for the tire falling off. The sprinter had been maintained solely by the dealer for ninety percent of it's history covering four years and approximately 80,000 miles. …”
