(jb needs to be a tire complaint) tl the contact owns a 2012 Dodge Caravan. While driving 70 mph, the tire pressure warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle drove abnormally. The contact was able to pull the vehicle over safely. When the contact exited the vehicle, she observed that the front passenger tire failed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tire pressure sensor, which was connected to the stem, failed and caused a fast flat. The tire was replaced. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 45,400. The tire failure mileage was 14,000.
After smelling brakes during a 10 mile trip to local store I looked at rear drivers side rotor to see it glowing cherry red in the night. Extreme heat was coming from the wheel well and wheel camber appeared to be affected from excessive heat. Working on trying to get it in for a warranty check, but to me this is ridiculous for a vehicle 2 years old with 25k miles. Sounds like mechanical failure of the caliber which I could replace myself, but from what I've read online this is a repetitive issue and a huge money pit.
The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that the rear of the vehicle seized and a sound was heard near the wheel bearing. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
