Tires & wheels reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers.

Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE SPARE TIRE CARRIERS DO NOT RELEASE THE TIRE. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE A TIRE. THE CABLE RELEASES BUT THE TIRE STAYS UP. YOU HAVE TO LAY ON THE GROUND GET YOUR LEGS UNDER THE CAR WHILE IT IS JACKED UP AND WITH TRY TO KICK THE TIRE LOOSE. VERY DANGEROUS! WE HAVE A FLEET OF DODGE / CHRYSLER MINI VANS MOST HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE. WHEN WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE TOYOTA CAMPAIGN I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AT 20MPH, THE SPARE TIRE FELL OUT OF MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY 2006 VAN. IT BECAME LODGED UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE JACKED UP AND THE TIRE WAS THEN RELEASED. THE CABLE IS FRAYED. FURTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE TO PIPES THAT FELL WITH THE TIRE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED AS I FELT IT WOULD BE UNSAFE TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THERE. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN A SAFETY RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT IT HAS BEEN AND IS AN ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MINE AND OTHERS SAFETY REGARDING THESE VEHICLES WITH SPARE TIRES MOUNTED UNDERNEATH. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING FASTER, OR ON A HIGHWAY, INJURIES OR FATALITIES COULD HAVE RESULTED. I CALLED CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS AND WAS QUESTIONED ABOUT MY DRIVING AND WHETHER I HIT SOMETHING, WHICH I ASSURE YOU I DID NOT. I AM CONCERNED THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PUT AIR IN OR LET AIR OUT OF ALL FOUR TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE STEMS CONNECTED TO THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WERE MADE OF ALUMINUM AND THAT THEY CORRODE QUICKLY. THE TIRE STEMS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT REGULAR TIRE STEMS COULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED SINCE THE SYSTEM COULD NOT DETECT IT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000. UPDATED 02/09/11*LJ UPDATED 02/28/11
