The tpms valve stem broke while we were adding air to the customer's tire.

2010 Chrysler town and country. At 75,000 miles right rear tire monitor alarmed and within 5 minutes all air had leaked out. Accident almost occurred but was able to pull off road. Removed tire and took to repair shop. They showed me the fault was a corroded tpms device. They removed and replaced with non tpms stem. Very concerned the other 3 will let go in similar fashion. Way too many problems with this noted on various internet sites. Replacement cost is also very high but is forced on people if they want to be safe.

Driving on highway, left rear tire pressure alarmed and went immediately flat, pulled over to the side, took to a service station who said that the metal/aluminum component to the tire pressure sensor valve stem had corroded,when that came off the pressure sensor was sucked into the tire and that was what caused the implosion. They said they see this commonly with these tire pressure sensor guages that chrystler uses. I will now have to pay to replace all 4. I have called the dealer twice now, each time I left a message but they said parts department was not in, and would have to call me back. This could have caused a very serious crash as there was very little time for us to get over to the side of the road, but we were luckily in the right hand land and not going full speed. We did not report to police as the state trooper arrived on scene.

While inflating tires for a customer the tpms valve stem sensor broke and deflated the tire.

I have a problem with the tire pressure monitor sensors, (a federal mandated safety devise). My 2010 Chrysler Town & Country only has 13,930 miles and while driving the left front tpms came apart and released the air out of the tire. I knew the tire was going flat before the dash lights reflected a problem. After calling for road side service, I was informed this is a current problem as the material used is die-cast (pot metal) which is very corrosive to the elements. I contacted the Chrysler dealer and was told it would cost me $74. 00 for the sensor and $20. 00 labor to fix it. Upon further investigation the other 3 on the car are very corroded and split. This would cost approximately $400. 00 to replace all of them and they are going to replace them with the same inferior component that just failed in 3 years time and 13,930 miles. I can not believe that they are failing in this short of time and has not had a recall. How can a car manufacture meet such a safety mandate with such a defective part. What about the air bags? are they just as cheap, are they going to work when you need them? low pressure on tires can cause "loss of control" and "accidents" as stated by the national highway traffic safety administration. I can not even find a certified third party tire repair shop that will fix the flat tire because if they fix it the safe way by using the trusted rubber stem it violates the federal mandated safety devise, which is illegal and they do not want the liability. They even refuse to fix the flat with Chryslers inferior part. Do people need to die before anyone understands how dangerous this could be at 55 to 70 mile per hour and have the air rush out within a few seconds? it should be a crime to allow a car manufacture to use a inferior product just to say they met a federal mandated safety devise.

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, he heard a loud noise as the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminated. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where he noticed that the front passenger's side tire had exploded. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the tire pressure senor had malfunctioned. The tire and sensor were replaced. The failure also occurred with the front driver's side tire pressure sensor. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000. Updated 3/5/cn.

Low air pressure in tire(s) light came on in my 2005 walter p Chrysler town and country when my wife and I left our house. Turned around and came home to check air in tires. Front right tire was low and when I took the cap off, the valve stem broke off in my hand. The tire completely lost all air in a matter of several seconds. If this would have happened to my wife and grandkids later that evening and with the temperature dropping to near zero, it could have been a very scary situation. Then I find out that this is a common problem that is well documented, yet no recalls that I can find as of yet. Unbelievable! this is very, very dangerous and I will not put these valves with sensors back on my vehicle. If anyone knows of a recall, please let me know.

While checking the tire pressure the valve stem broke.

The tire pressure monitor alerted me to a tire with low pressure. This was the second time in two weeks that the sensor had alerted me to a low pressure situation with this tire. I took the vehicle to my independent mechanic who discovered a leaking tire valve due to corrosion. This is the second valve on this van that I have had a problem with. Chrysler is not willing to do anything as far as warranty or defective part is concerned. Their service writer's opinion was - "well, you do live in the northeast and we do get poor weather". This is a lousy excuse for a know problem to Chrysler. This situation needs to be recalled before someone has a catastrophic valve failure at speed and is involved in a serious collision. I have since replaced the valve and tire monitor (thanks Chrysler for your great design - $100 for a tire valve).

Corroded valve stem on a tpms sensor broke when removing the valve cap to check the tire pressure. Had to replace the tpms sensor for the customer.

Valve stem cracked leaving tire flat. Had it replaced and the tps has not worked for the tire that deflated. Replaced and still not working.

Valve stem broke while checking and filling the tires.

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 chrylser town and country. The contact stated the tire stem sensor fail on the left rear side. As the air was being put in the tire the stem popped out causing the tire to go flat. The tire stem manufacturer was siemens model#787ao/833707093. The tire stem sensor was being replaced at cost of $100. The contact was replacing the stem. The manufacturer was contacted who will be giving him a return call. The failure mileage was 27,851. Mw.

The last few times I had the oil changed in my wife's 2009 Chrysler town and country the service person refussed to check the tire pressure because of an inherent corrosion problem with the Chrysler valve stems, which are part of the tpms. The right rear valve stem subsequently failed and the dealer wanted to charge $120 to replace the valve stem. (the vehicle has 38,000 miles) only after extended complaing and noting it was a safety issue and an common problem with Town & Country's did the dealer agree to fix it for free. While the tire maintained air pressure after the valve stem failed, I was unable to check the tire pressure or add air to the tire. My concern is the other 3 value stems are heavly oxidized and it will cost me and other Town & Country owners $300 - $400 to check tire pressure or add air into our tires. The cheap solution is to replace the expensive Chrysler valve stems with standard tire valve stems. However, this solution disables the tpms which I though was a required safety system. My other car with a tpms has over 100,000 miles has no such issue with its valve stems or tpms.

For the second time, the valve stem on my 2008 town and country broke. This time it resulted in a tire going flat while going about 15 miles an hour. Fortunately we could get off the road and aaa came to put on the spare tire. We replaced the stem but will need an expensive sensor to be replaced. Chrysler will not fix this part as part of the extended warranty. We are concerned that the next two stems could go and cause a very serious accident.

For second time in two years at 30,000 miles I had to replace my front brakes and grind rotors. On 6/29/2011 2008 Chrysler t&c touring 3. 8l went to wolbert auto body in pittsburgh, PA for brake warning squeelers and a tire rotation. Upon paying for front brakes, machining of front rotors and rotating tires my mechanic indicated on my invoice that both front vave stems bad. Took car to micks odge Chrysler in robinson twp. , PA on 7/7/2011 (note this was scheduled and it was made clear to Chrysler that the two valve stems were corroded and cracked). Car picked up from frank stifter where he indicated only one valve stem was bad. I asked that he show me what he saw and shared with frank that our mechanic warned and documented two front stems bad. He insisted only one and showed me. After leaving I went back to wolbert auto who specifically showed me that not only were the front two corroded and cracked (nut and valve) but that the back two were already corroding and could soon crack. Same day 07/07/11 called Chrysler and indicated they may want to replace all four and that it is a safety issue. Later on 07/07/11 took two daughters to movies and tire fails on exit. Patron took me to theater, 911 call made, tow requested, husband notified to resuce us. All in one day. Thank goodness I was on a ramp and not 79 s at a much higher speed. My children were devistated. Note also I told frank that I had concern for safety with three kids and played out a senario over the phone. Within 90 min. Of our converstaion the scenario became a fearful reality. Frank said I needed to contact Chrysler and that it is not the job of micks job to do so. I feel that micks Dodge is at fault for not being prepared to correct the problem for which it was scheduled in their maintenance dept. And Chrysler responsible for the numerous complaints found all over the internet. Something must be done to protect our t&c driving citizens. Lives matter in the case of a very poor design!!!.

Failure of 3 tpms valve stems. (tire pressure monitor sensor) tpms is mounted to the wheel with a aluminum valve stem and aluminum nut. The nuts and stems are corroding and the nut is cracking. The sensor and stem is held in place by air pressure in the tire but it begins leaking air after the nut cracks. Tire leaks 1-2 psi per mile at 65mph. Can not add air to tire because when you push on the valve stem it pushes into the rim. 2008 Chrysler town and country with 30 thousand miles. The tires on the van haven't even been replaced yet. Valve stems on the sensors are bare aluminum with no corrosion protection. Tpms appear to be made by siemens vdo and are not made by Chrysler. Stems need to made from a more corrosion resistent metal or need to be anodized. Chrysler has repaired under warranty so far but valve stems/sensor don't last 3 years.

2008 Chrysler town and country: faulty valve stems. Three of the four valve stems have broken in the past 2 months. They were the originals. I'm expecting the fourth to go anytime now. They all broke when I was unscrewing the cap to check pressure or add air. As soon as I started to twist, the whole thing just came off in my fingers, with the top of the stem still embedded in the plastic cap. Had to replace entire tpms because it's all one part.

I beleive the tire pressure monitoring system components are badly constructed. I have just had my 2nd one bust while trying to put air in the tire. I am lucky that both times they broke I was at a place that could immediately put in a regular valve stem so that I could still use my car. . . . . Both times my tires deflated because the top where the air is put in broke completely off the stem. . . . . Made with aluminum????? why???? now I am worried about the other ones left on my car to break. . . . . . Car is only 3 yrs old (2008 Chrysler town n country) the 1st one that broke was just a few months before the 2nd one which prompted this complaint. . . . . . . These need to be examined for a possible recall. . . . They need to be made to last. I am in the process of tryinh to get Chrysler zone to do something about this. . . . . . I would hate to be driving and for one to break. . . . . I forsee major lawsuits if this happens.

I have had both back tire aluminum inflation valve stems crack. The first one I noticed that the tire continually deflated and had it replaced before my tire lost all of its pressure. The most recent failure resulted in the valve stem cracking and separating completely causing a flat tire. Is the metal used in the stem too brittle or weak? I am fortunate that I have not had this failure occur while the vehicle was moving. I know several other people have had the same issue. As a result I had to have the stems replaced with rubber ones so that I do not have the same problem again. I am no longer able to view the tire pressure for the back tires, and that is a bummer because I paid extra to have this system in my car. I am very worried for the safety of my family. . . What if the valuve was to break while I was driving? the air does not slowly come out, it releases all of the air out of the tire at one time. I do have the old parts, still.

While parked in our heated garage, valve stem snapped off allowing the tire to completely deflate as I washed the tires of my 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. Thankfully I was not driving down the freeway at the time of the valve stem failure. This should never happen and certainly not at 34,000. We contacted the local Chrysler dealer for repair.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated that the tire pressure sensor fractured and as a result, the tire continued to go flat. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 34,000 and the current mileage was 56,000.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that they are unable to put air in or let air out of all four tires. The manufacturer stated that the stems connected to the tire pressure sensor were made of aluminum and that they corrode quickly. The tire stems were not covered under the warranty. The contact was told that regular tire stems could not be placed on the vehicle because the tire pressure light would remain illuminated since the system could not detect it. The failure mileage was 49,500. The current mileage was 52,000. Updated 02/09/lj updated 02/28/11.

Tpms. Tire pressure sensors are required on all new vehicles now to "help aid in safety?" problem is like on my 2005 Chrysler Town & Country, the sensors are made with a watch battery as the sensor power source. This is fine if the consumer can replace these watch batteries or have the watch batteries replaced when they are dead, but, "but" Chrysler has made the sensors in such a way that the sensor is completely destroyed by trying to change the batteries. One must replace the entire sensor when the watch batteries are dead. The cost for replacing (4) sensors every (3) to(4) years is extremely overpriced. So to conclude my complaint, the intent of safety is not what is going on here with the car manufacturers, but a new opportunity for profit. See, what this has now caused is that since the cost is so high to replace the sensors when the consumer should be able to change a small battery for pocket change, the consumer will just let the warning light shine and not replace the expensive sensors when a watch battery is dead. That's what I am doing. I can't be alone. Safety? only for the 1st 3 years or so. . . . After that? same as it use to be with no sensors.

The sensors for my tpms corrode and brake letting the air out of the tires. I went to remove 2 of the valve stem caps this past weekend and the stems broke right off letting the pressure out of the tires. In looking on line, this appears to be a very common problem with numerous owners. Some simply start leaking just from age and corrosion. This appears to be a very serious safety hazard.
