Consumer Description

MY CONCERN IS VALVE STEM FAILURE. THE VALVE STEMS ON MY TRUCK HAVE AIR PRESSURE SENSORS ON THEM AND ARE BOLTED IN THE VALVE STEM HOLE IN THE RIM. THE NUT THAT HOLDS THE VALVE STEM IN PLACE FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSED A INSTANT DEFLATION OF THE TIRE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VALVE STEM NUT CRACKING BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER DUE TO A CONSTANT TIRE LEAK THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD VALVE STEM. THE VALVE STEM COST $50 AND $80 TO INSTALL. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON A SCHEDULED TIRE ROTATION AND THE TECH NOTICED THE NUT HAD CORROSION AND WAS CRACKED. HE REPLACED IT WITH A NEW NUT. THE THIRD TIME WAS THE BLOW OUT I DESCRIBED FIRST, WHICH ALSO RUINED THE TIRE. ON INSPECTION OF THE FORTH TIRE THE NUT IS ALSO CRACKED. *TR
