The end of the tire stem broke off when I was refilling the tires. This prevented the tires from staying filled and I was nervous about driving the vehicle until I could get it to a shop to be repaired. We replaced all the stems, but replacing the sensors was too expensive. If this damage had occurred while driving, a sudden flat tire could have been very dangerous. Never thought to take pictures for a report until after we had already replaced the valves.

Installed the car seat in my car as I’m expecting my little one in 7 weeks or less, and realized after buckling in and anchoring down properly, the car seat itself is wobbly and insecure in the base. It clicks in at the bottom of the base, but at the top there’s nothing it clicks into and you can lift the top part of the bottom of the car seat out of the base.

ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2019 I WAS DRIVING ON U.S. 36 FROM DANVILLE, IN TO AVON, IN. NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF 550 E MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE FLEW OFF MY CAR WHILE I WAS GOING 55 M.P.H. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND NO ONE WAS HURT. THE REASON I AM WRITING IS BECAUSE ALL 5 STUDS ARE MISSING FROM THE WHEEL HUB. THERE IS NO METAL REMAINING AND NO SIGNS OF SHEARING. I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS A RECALL OR IF NOT, MAYBE IT SHOULD BE.

I BOUGHT A VEHICLE 3 DAYS AGO. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TIRES SOUNDING LIKE IT WAS WOBBLING. I TOLD THE OWNER AND OTHER EMPLOYEES THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT HEAR IT BUT HAD THE TIRES BALANCED AND THE ROTORS TURNED. I RAN MY KIDS TO BASKETBALL PRACTICE AND LATER ON THAT NIGHT THE TIRE SOUNDS GOT WORSE AND WE'RE MUCH LOUDER. I WAS DRIVING HOME AND JUST TURNED INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE FLEW OFF. THE TIRE AND RIM WE'RE TRAVELING THROUGH A YARD AT 30+ MPH. I SLAMMED TO THE GROUND AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TERRIFIYNG. THE FLYING TIRE AND RIM WOULD HAVE FATALLY INJURED SOMEONE IF THIS WAS IN THE DAYTIME HOURS.

VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED, AND TIRE WAS SLOWLY LOSING INFLATION. THOUGHT IT WAS A NAIL AND DROVE IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE MY APPT. TO GET IT LOOKED AT.

SO I WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE WARNING EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALL WORKING OKAY.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ALWAYS UNDER 40MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, I LOSE POWER STEERING, THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, ALL LIGHTS AND RADIO IS DOWN. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. THIS MORNING I HIT A CURB GOING AROUND THE ROUND ABOUT TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON OVER A YEAR. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS COLD OR HOT, RAINING OR SUNNY. IT WILL GO A MONTH WITH NOTHING AND THEN IN ONE DAY IT WILL DIE 6 TIMES. WE HAVE BEEN TO PRIVATE MECHANICS WE HAVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS AND THEY HAVE CHECKED THE ERG VALVE AND THE KEY FOB, THE IGNITION SWITCH, THEY HAVE CHECK THE BATTERY, RAN DOWN ALL THE ELECTRICAL STUFF, THEY HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS LAST WEEK AND COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. IT'S DIED ON MY 4 TIMES THIS WEEK. I HAVE FOUR KIDS AND I'M ALWAYS IN THE VAN AND NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT! WE CHECKED THE VIN AND THERE IS NO RECALL AS WE ALREADY DID THE VENT WINDOW. BUT THE RECALLS THAT ARE LISTED DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING. SO CHRYSLER KNOWS AND DOESN'T CARE! YOU CANNOT JUST RECALL CERTAIN BATCHES WHEN THERE ARE CLEARLY OTHER VEHICLES DOING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT IS CHRYSLER PREPARED TO DO FOR A FAMILY WHEN THEY ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THEIR VAN! CAN'T TRADE IT IN. DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE THE LOSS, WTF ARE CONSUMERS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE VANS. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE 2010 T&C, I LOVE THIS VAN BUT IT SCARES ME TO DEATH! I JUST WANT IT FIXED! I MEAN I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS TOO BUT IF ONE KEPT GOING OFF THE TRACKS I'M NOT [XXX] SURE I WOULDN'T RIDE IT OR PUT MY FAMILY ON IT. PLEASE CHRYSLER FIX THESE CARS!

ON TWO SEPARATE DATES THIS SUMMER WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 50 & 60 MPH I HAD TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS BRAKE CAUSING THE TIRES TO GO FLAT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A SAFE STOP BUT IN BOTH CASES I HAD TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES BECAUSE THE TIRES WHICH WERE RELATIVELY NEW COULD NO LONGER BE USED. I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS TOLD BY THE TIRE DEALER THAT TPS FAILURE IS QUITE COMMON. NOT ONLY COULD THE TIRE GOING FLAT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BUT ON ONE OF THE FAILURES I WAS PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION TO CHANGE THE TIRE.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR BEAK INSIDE TIRE CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT AS WELL AS HAVING A FIRE ON THE INSIDE DUE TO THE FRICTION. (LAST TIME WAS IN 2014). I DID KEEP THE TIRE WITH BURN SPOTS AS WELL AS THE TIRE SENSOR FROM FIRESTONE. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ON AN OFF RAMP WHEN THIS HAPPENS ONE NOT GOING 70 MPH ON THE THRU WAY (I75). LAST TIME MY DEALER (CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN BRANDON FL) DID REPLACE A SENSOR AS WELL AS THE TIRE. (OCTOBER, 2014 / A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR). MANY MECHANICS STATE THEY NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS TWICE.

I HAVE HAD 2 FLAT TIRES FROM THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR, DUE TO CRACKED AND SPLIT COLLARS THAT HAVE DETERIORATED. THE COLLAR WAS MISSING AND CHRYSLER DENIED ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 SENSORS AND HAVE RETAINED 3 OF THEM.. THE COLLARS COULD NOT BE SAVED AS THEY DETERIORATED UPON REMOVAL. THE REMAINING TWO WERE REPLACED TODAY AS THE COLLARS WERE SPLITTING AND SOON WOULD BREAK OFF AND POSSIBLE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE TWO FLATS OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY, AND I DROVE TO HAVE THE LAST TWO REPLACED.
