Tire Valve problems of the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country

Two problems related to tire valve have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Tire Valve problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2013

The tpms warning light goes off every week telling me one of my tires is low. It is not just one tire. 3 of them seem to be losing air from the valve stem and I have to refill them every week. It seems the stem is made of aluminum and corrodes easily. They become brittle and can break even from washing the car or just checking the air pressure according to t&c owners.

2 Tire Valve problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2006

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler town and country. The mechanic could not remove the valve stem when attempting to install new tires. The failure was due to years of the valve core breaking off the valve stem. The vehicle was brought to the dealer and two valve stems were replaced. The newer valve stems, which were made of pot metal, corroded after 40,000 miles. The current mileage is 55,000 and failure mileage was 45,733.
