“I have michilen tires which are laoded with dry rot cracks. There is plenty of thread still left on tires but need to be replaced due to rot on thetires I have had several issues with flat tires. The valve stem are literally breaking off when adding air to my tires. So Jeep knew of this problem with bad valve stem in 2008 yet they kept using them in 2009?????????? How many people have to have blow outs/accidents before someone is held accountable???????????”
NHTSA complaint #10851427, filed 2016-03, 136,000 miles“As I was driving my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee on a highway at approx 70 MPH my left rear tire instantly went flat immediately following a low tire pressure indicator. When I stopped my car to check the flat I noticed that the tire valve (tire pressure monitor wheel sensor) was gone. When I changed the tire I realized the pressure sensor fell into the wheel because the threaded nut that holds the sensor in place failed and broke in two causing the tire to loose all its air at once. …”
NHTSA complaint #10460216, filed 2012-06, 50,100 miles“I was driving on the garden state parkway north traveling approximately 65mph (the speed limit) and I was in the left lane of the three lane local lanes. I drifted too far to the left and hit the rumble strips on the side of the road. Immediately, my TPMS light came on and I pulled over right away. Apparently, my TPMS sensor on the tire broke and was letting air out of my tire. What happened was, the metal screw that is around the metal valve stem sheered off and nothing was holding the valve stem/TPMS in place except for the air pressure inside the tire. …”

NHTSA complaint #10870141, filed 2016-05, 974 miles“Tire had gone flat twice for with no damage to the tire it self. With further inspection there was a crack found on the rear face of the wheel starting from the inside and working out to the tire sealing surface. There is no damage to the tire and no bend or scraps in the aluminum wheel indicating an impact. There is corrosion in the crack which would lead one to believe this to be a fatigue crack and it being in the wheel for some length of time. …”
