2009 DODGE CARAVAN Tiresvalve Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAILED. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE TIRE AND THE VALVE STEM CAME OFF OF THE TIRE WITH FORCE AND ALMOST HIT HIM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THEY WOULD REPLACE IT BUT THE CONTACT HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. UPDATED 11/13/12 *CN UPDATED 11/21/2012 *JS

THE VALVE STEMS FAILED.. NUTS FOR BOTH FRONT VALVE STEMS ROTTED OFF CAUSING VALVE STEMS TO FALL INTO TIRES LOSING ALL TIRE PRESSURE WITHIN SECONDS..THIS HAPPEN WITH BOTH FRONT TIRES AT DIFFERENT TIMES.THE FIRST TIME I LOST PRESSURE THE LIGHT CAME ON SO I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND WENT TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE AND THE VALVE STEM FELL INTO THE TIRE LOSING ALL PRESSURE IMMEDIATELY AND I WAS LEFT WITH A FLAT. AAA CAME AND PUT ON SPARE AND SAID THE NUT ON THE VALVE STEM WAS GONE AND SAID IT LOOKED LIKE IT CORRODED AND FELL OFF.THE SECOND ONE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE...MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I DIDN'T PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY! THE MECHANIC SAID THE SAME THING THAT THE NUT WAS MISSING AND THE VALVE STEM ACTUALLY WAS BROKE IN HALF. THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ON...
