I have a 2008 dodge caravan and just touched the tire valve stem. The top of the cap came off and the tire deflated in less than 8 seconds. I called the dealer and they said it's not covered. I asked the repair shop and they said the tire pressure monitoring sensor stems on the chrysler/dodge commonly break off and they have had many. It's a common problem. On the dodge/chrysler forums this happens many time. It ended up costing me 82 and I had to take the tire off. Just by brushing the stem it cracked off is a major safety concern. With snow, or something else brushing across the stem this could lead to an instant tire deflation and los of control a lethal design!!
Tire sensor light went on in our 2008 dodge caravan. Went to put air in tires and found 2 of the 4 valves stems broken off towards the end of the stem. The pieces were still there being held in place by the cap. We purchased this vehicle used in june 2009. These are the TPMS stems. I went online and found that this is a very common problem. Why hasn't there been a recall on these type of stems?
