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 THESE VALVE STEMS! THE DODGE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM AND SAID I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO THEM! PLEASE NOTE I STILL HAD THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE FROM PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW AT A DEALERSHIP IN 2009. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE TREATMENT I RECEIVED FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. *TR

LEFT FRONT TIRE SUDDENLY LOST ALL AIR PRESSURE AS CAR WAS CLEANED IN A CAR WASH. THE CARWASH HAS NO BRUSHES OR ANY DEVICE THAT CAN TOUCH THE VEHICLE. EXAMINATION AFTERWARDS BY THE DEALER REVEALED THE PROBABLE CAUSE WAS PART OF THE TIRE PRESSURE VALVE WAS MISSING DUE TO THE VALVE STEM BREAKING. THIS TIRE WAS PART OF A NEW SET OF FOUR BOUGHT ONLY 2 DAYS BEFORE AND HAD APPROX. 400 MILES OF USAGE. THEY WERE BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
