Wheel Problems of Chrysler 300 - part 2

While driving the vehicle the low tire pressure light came on, I checked and found my front tire looked low. I went to unscrew the valve cap and it kept turning, upon further inspection I found the metal valve stem was cracked and the schrader valve was only being held in by a burr from the cracked metal stem. At that point I was unable to put any air into the tire. The potential for the schrader to just blow out of the stem and cause instant deflation of the tire is why I am reporting this. The metal stems seem to be cheaply made.

During a routine tire rotation I was advised that the seal between the tire and wheel was failing on all 4 wheels as a result of corrosion occurring on the mag type wheel. The failure was temporarily repaired by sanding the wheel and resealing. Comment was made that there is no guarantee that the problem is solved. It is likely this will continue to occur as due to brine solution and road salt used during the winter months. The person doing the rotation stated this is a common occurrence on this vehicle with this type of wheel.

All of the chrome covered wheel lugs on my 2007 Chrysler 300 have been mushroomed by the impact wrench while the tires were being rotated; my lug wrench no longer fits any wheel lugs. I can not change the tires if I get a flat tire. All the tire rotations are under the Chrysler service contract.
