Consumer Description

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INDICATED THAT THE TIRE AIR PRESSURE WAS LOW. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE DEFLATED DUE TO A FAULTY METAL VALVE STEM THAT HAD CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE VALVE STEM TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. LATER, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE ADDITIONAL THREE METAL VALVE STEMS WERE ALSO CRACKED AND AIR WAS LEAKING FROM EACH TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
