The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the tpms failed to function properly. One of the tpms failed, corroded, and caused a tire to puncture. The vehicle also independently accelerated while making a turn on a slight curve. The vehicle was taken to a dealer (troncalli Chrysler Jeep Dodge-ram, 818 atlanta hwy, cumming, GA 30040, (678) 244-4100) where it was diagnosed. The vehicle was temporarily repaired without a permanent solution. The contact also stated that the dealer failed to provide a detailed diagnosis. An independent mechanic indicated that the computer module failed to function properly, which caused the vehicle to shake violently and caused a crack in the engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and provided no remedy other than having the vehicle diagnosed and repaired by a dealer. The failure mileage was not available.

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle suddenly started shaking with out warning. The contact pulled over and discovered that the right rear tire was flat. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tire pressure monitor sensor retaining nut was split and failed due to erosion which caused the tire to deflate. As a result, the tire needed to be replaced. The tire was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,052. Ss.

While filling the rear driver side tire with air, the aluminum valve stem snapped off causing the tire to completely deflate. Replaced aluminum stem with rubber stem as a temporary fix while searching for replacement parts to the tpms sensor. Approximately two days later, while attempting to unscrew the valve cap from the rear passenger side tire, the aluminum valve stem broke off in my hand causing the tire to completely deflate. I found after market replacement aluminum valve stems that fit the oem tpms sensors and had them all replaced. Unfortunately it is only a matter of time before these fail. Aluminum valve stems on tpms are clearly a safety issue and warrant a recall. Tpms stems on all newer vehicles are now rubber.

The contact owns a 2009 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the front driver side wheel detached from the vehicle. While driving 70 mph exiting the highway, the vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. The vehicle would not accelerate over 50 mph and slowed down in the middle of the highway. The entire front driver side wheel failed. The contact discovered the body frame, wheel assembly, wheel hub, and wheel bearing were all damaged. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 103,000.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the tire pressure warning light indicated that one of the tires had 0 pressure. The failure recurred randomly. The vehicle was taken to dealer where it was diagnosed that the tire pressure monitor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also mentioned that on a different occasion the vehicle lost all power. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

My auto service technician was checking the tire pressure when the valve stem broke off at the valve cap area causing the left rear tire to deflate. The technician said this was due to the dis-similar metals corroding and weakening the valve stem. He said that if the valve stem where to fail at highway speeds it could be very dangerous. This vehicle has the tire pressure displayed on the dashboard.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that tire pressure monitoring system failed on the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and all that was done was to put air in the tire. The dealer stated that the vehicle needed to be run with the air level corrected, but the system failed. The dealer stated that the sensor's could be the failure, but the dealer did not replace the sensor. The current mileage was 6000. Rl.

Went to add air to a tire, the tpms valve stem snapped off, tire lost all air very quickly. The tpms valve stems are all corroded and all are about to fail. If one fails while driving, a very serious accident could result. Decided to purchase a different style of tpms (schrader with a rubber stem, instead of the dangerous originals with their corroding pot metal stems) for all 4 wheels at considerable expense to ensure the safety of my family. From reading forums at e. G. Allpar, this is a common problem. Chrysler surely knows about these dangerous tpms's and should be proactive and at least warn users to check for corrosion, and preferably fix their problem.

All 4 wheel stems corroded. 2 failed.

I have been hearing a grinding/howling noise coming from the front of the vehicle. I took it to a Dodge dealership and they advised the front hub/wheel bearings have gone bad. Chrysler is recommending the replacement of both front hub assembly's (driver and passenger side) because the part had to be redesigned to prevent failure. Chrysler has issued recalls for several of the town and country's within the year range of 2008 - 2010, but does not want to cover this one because it is not in their parameters for repair. I told the Chrysler representative that obviously the bearings should be included because they are failing and Chrysler is requiring both sides to be replaced, even though only one side is bad. This is a safety concern as hub/bearing assembly's failing at highway speeds could cause a catastrophic accident. This would be a premature repair and obviously has a design flaw. The internet is filled with this same problem and Chrysler refuses to assist with the repair costs or to issue the recall for my vehicle based on their in house parameters. I fear for anyone who has a bearing go out at highway speeds, especially with a vehicle that only has 70k miles. This is not a normal issue for the mileage. The bearing has suddenly started having this problem. Chrysler should be responsible for repairing these in all models that do not have the redesigned parts, which they obviously had to redesign because they fail. This is a safety issue and really concerns me that Chrysler does not want to take responsibility for fixing the problem that their own engineering and lack of quality in materials has caused, which could lead to a serious injury or death.

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.

4/4/13 traveling on freeway tire suddenly blow out without any warning from tpm system. I had to call emergency road services to replace tire with spare and immediately went to a tire dealers where sensor on rear tire had to be replaced. I had to replace 2 more sensors within 2 week period 4/18/13 which had cracked. There was no warning notice from tpm that there was a problem and only notice addtional sensor at time vehicle was getting oil change at dealership. Dealership had replaced a 4th tire sensor a year ago. Dealership failed to place me on notice of the problems with the sensors units and the cost of replacing units came out of my pocket.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Chrysler town and country with 65000 miles. The contact was driving about 25 mph when the passengers side rear tire failed. The contact changed the tire. The vehicle was then taken to a repair shop where it was found that the cause of the failure was a faulty valve stem. The valve stem was made by siemans. The manufacture told the contact the the whole tire pressure monitoring system has to be replaced. This was the second time that this failure occurred. The VIN was not available. Bl.

Over the past 3 years 3 of my 4 valve stems have cracked and failed. These were aluminum stems original to the vehicle. They have all cracked in the threads. Total failure results in a sudden loss of all tire pressure. Fortunately, all have broken while the vehicle was at rest. Typically it is proceeded by a low tire pressure warning, then when the valve stem cap is removed (to add air) the top portion of the stem and the valve itself comes off (once violently, shooting the valve across the garage).

2 flat tires caused by failed tire pressure sensors. The valve with the tire pressure sensor broke off on 2 tires during the first incident (2 flats at once). 2nd incident happened on March 9, 2014 in a car wash (vehicle has roughly 56k on it at the time of the 2nd incident).
