Tl the contact owns a 2010 Chrysler town and country equipped with bf goodrich advantage ta radial tires, size: 225/65r16 (na). While driving approximately 75 mph, the rear driver's side tire experienced a blowout. The aluminum valve stem detached from the tire and the lug nuts were severely corroded. The contact stated that the remaining three tires were subject to severe cracking on the sidewalls and there were rubber fragments from the rear driver's side tire at the time of the blowout. A highway helper was contacted to replace the tire with the spare located underneath the vehicle. Hastings Chrysler center (2980 highway 61 south, hastings, minnesota 55033, (651) 437-5200) was made aware of the failure and replaced the tire valve sensor. It was determined that severe lug nut corrosion was evident in all of the tires. The contact stated that all four tires were oem equipment purchased on January 4, 2011. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 30,000. The tire failure mileage was 14,000.

This vehicle has 40000 miles on it. Approximately after a month of owning it, the tmps valve stem broke off the tire while refilling with air. The sensor has now broken off three separate tires. I researched whether this was an ongoing issue with these vehicles and found out that is has been. Why is nothing being done about this? what would happen if someone was driving on the road when this happened? these valve stems are aluminum, not rubber and they corrode quickly. Also, they are not cheap to replace approx. $100 ea. Something should be done about this before there are serious injuries or deaths from faulty equipment.
