NHTSA Complaint #10969770 — 2008 JEEP COMMANDER

TIRE VALVE STEM CORROSION. TIRE VALVE STEMS CORRODE AND BREAK OFF VERY EASILY. LUCKY FOR ME THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF WHILE I WAS PARKED AND FILLING THE TIRE AND NOT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE TIRE TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE RAPIDLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL JEEP. I REPLACED ALL OF MY VALVE STEMS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AND THEY COST $107.00 WITH PARTS, LABOR AND TAX AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT DUE TO JEEP KNOWING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF SOON.
