2010 DODGE CARAVAN Tires Problems

WHILE DRIVING ON I-90 TPMS INDICATOR CAME ON. WITHIN SECONDS RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS FLAT, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE WHEEL I SAW THE VALVE STEM WAS GONE. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO TIRE. *TR

I WAS CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE AND THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF IN MY HAND AND ALL THE AIR RAN OUT IN 10 SECONDS. I REMOVED THE FLAT TIRE AND TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME 100.00. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE VALVE STEMS WITH THE INTERNAL PRESSURE SENSORS AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE OTHER WHEELS DOING SIMILAR POSSIBLY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

1ST TIME: TIRE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHEN CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE, THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF MID WAY UP THE STEM EXPOSING THE VALVE ITSELF. WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE IT COST APPROXIMATELY $150.00 TO REPLACE AND PROGRAM. 2ND TIME: CHECKING AIR PRESSURE BEFORE LEAVING FOR A LONG TRIP. I COULD VISUALLY SEE A TIRE WAS LOW ON PRESSURE (TIRE SQUATTING), LATER REMOVING THE CAP ON THE VALVE STEM I COULD SEE A DISTINCT WHAT I CALL WEAR RING NEAR WHERE THE CAP, WHEN INSTALLED, WOULD END ON THE STEM. AS THIS IS THE AREA THE PREVIOUS STEM BROKE, I SPRAYED THE STEM WITH SOAPY WATER AND CONFIRMED A SLOW LEAK FROM THIS WEAR RING. HAD THIS STEM REPLACED WITH A STANDARD SAFE VALVE STEM. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE COMPONENT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! THE FIRST OCCURRENCE TOOK THE TIRE ABOUT 20 SECONDS TO GO COMPLETELY FLAT. IF THIS...

I PURCHASED A SET (4) GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES THAT WERE INSTALLED IN AUGUST 2011 ON A 2010 DODGE CARAVAN SE. AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 25000 MILES ON THEM IN JUST UNDER 6 MONTHS THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE FAILED IN A SNOW STORM. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF A PUNCTURE IN THE TREAD NOR DID I HIT A POTHOLE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TIRE SIDEWALLS SHREDDED BECAUSE I HAD TO DRIVE A DISTANCE TO GET TO A SAFER PLACE TO PULL OVER. BEFORE HAVING THE TIRE REPLACED BY GOODYEAR, WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR, I HAD THE DAMAGED TIRE INSPECTED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT A LOCAL DODGE DEALER. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER, THE REAR TIRE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FAILED. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR AS IT WAS UNSEASONABLY WARM IN OHIO FOR JANUARY. AGAIN, THERE APPEARS TO BE NO SIGNS OF PUNCTURE DAMAGE OR OTHER...
