2004 Dodge Sprinter Tires & wheels Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the tire or wheel system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Tires & wheels reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. 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.

THERE IS CURRENTLY A COMPLAINT FOR THE 2500 DODGE SPRINTERS, FOR VALVE STEM FAILURE. WHAT ABOUT THE 3500? I'VE HAD THREE VALVE STEM FAILURES SO FAR AND NO RECOURSE. WHY IS THE 2500 DIFFERENT THAN THE 3,500? TWO HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONE JUST LET GO WHILE PARKED. LUCKILY TWO WERE ON THE REAR DUALS AND I HAD THE OTHER TIRE TO BEAR THE WEIGHT. *TR
