Consumer Description

THIS CAR IS A 2010 DODGE CARAVAN. I HAVE HAD 2 VALVE STEMS FAIL EXPLOSIVELY. IT OCCURS AROUND WHERE THE VALVE CORE IS SCREWED DOWN. IT APPEARS THE THREADED VALVE STEM JUST CRACKS OFF ABOUT THE LEVEL OF THE BOTTOM OF THE VALVE STEM . BOTH TIMES I WAS SITTING STILL WHEN IT HAPPENED. LUCKY! I DON'T KNOW HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS PROBLEM IS BUT IF HTTP://USNEWS.RANKINGSANDREVIEWS.COM/CARS-TRUCKS/DAILY-NEWS/080905-TIRE-VALVE-STEM-RECALL-COULD-AFFECT-30-MILLION-CARS/ IS AN EXAMPLE, THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND GETTING WORSE. I THINK THAT IS BEYOND TIME FOR YOUR AGENCY TO GET VERY INVOLVED. THE COMPANY I PURCHASED THIS AUTO FROM DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE VERY EAGER TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS. YOUR TIMELY RESPONSE IS REQUIRED. *TR
