Consumer Description

2008 GRAND CARAVAN SXT (EQUIPPED WITH A TPMS AIR SENSORS) - WITH THE CHANGE OF WEATHER, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT WENT ON. WHILE CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE OF THE TIRES, TWO (OF FOUR) OF THE VALVE STEM CAPS WOULD NOT LOOSEN. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE ONE OF THE STUCK VALVE STEM CAPS, THE VALVE STEM SNAPPED OFF - INSTANTLY RELEASING ALL THE AIR IN THE AFFECTED TIRE. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED, PARTS ORDERED, AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH THESE ALUMINUM VALVE STEMS/SENSORS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR A VALVE STEM TO BREAK ON THIS VEHICLE. (THE LAST ONE OCCURRED AT 43,097 MILES ON 11/7/10.) THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THESE FAILED COMPONENTS. WE HAVE NOTICED ON THE INTERNET FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE/CHRYSLER AS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD RESULT. *KB
