Valve stem broke while inflating tires. Inflating our customers' tires is part of our service and required by California law. This is a regular occurrence at our oil change facilities. We are usually left paying for the expense of replacing the tpms sensor, mounting and dismounting the tire by a tire shop. The tire in question is a nexen cp251 but this complaint is about the tpms sensor.

The contact owns a 1999 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that the tire pressure monitoring system on the front passenger side tire failed due to corrosion. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, where the tire pressure monitoring system for that tire was replaced, but the dealer refused to replace the system on the other three tires. The manufacturer was notified and they advised the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The failure and the current mileages were 28,000.

While checking tire presssure tpms broke - filed by jiffy lube.

1. While driving (at 30mph) in our 2008 Dodge Caravan, the right front tpms valve stem broke off and the tire immediately deflated. 2. Valve stem broke off below the valve core deflating the tire, moved vehicle to side of road. 3. Vehicle towed to tire shop where tpms was replaced for $70. 00. Still have old tpms.

Left front tire suddenly lost all air pressure as car was cleaned in a car wash. The carwash has no brushes or any device that can touch the vehicle. Examination afterwards by the dealer revealed the probable cause was part of the tire pressure valve was missing due to the valve stem breaking. This tire was part of a new set of four bought only 2 days before and had approx. 400 miles of usage. They were bridgestone turanza tires.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Caravan. While driving approximately 30-40 mph a half moon indicator illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the air sensor for the left rear tire needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the sensor with a rubber valve stem. The contact stated that the air sensor was on back order and he did not know when they would be available. The air sensor light remained illuminated continuously. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 34,600 and the current mileage was 36,900.

The tpms stems have broken off the wheels on my car while driving tire went flat and I happened to be parking at the time so thank god I was not on the highway at the time.

I was about to add air to the front tire and was removing the cap when the valve blew apart about halfway down the stem. The tire went flat immediately. We had the dealer replace the tpm valve stem but they had to order it and it took a week to get the part. I asked them to change the other 3, but they said they will only replace one valve at a time as they fail. My wife was 9 months pregnant at the time and this is our only car, so I was concerned that it would happen again, possibly while driving since it had broken so easily. Sure enough, two weeks later a second valve stem failed and the tire went flat very fast. Luckily I was just on my way back to the hospital to bring her a few things and driving slowly on a residential street. Again, I'm told they will just order one valve and replace them as they fail. This is obviously a problem they know about but don't want to deal with. Hopefully no one is injured or killed in an accident from one of these failing.

I have a 2008 Dodge Caravan and just touched the tire valve stem. The top of the cap came off and the tire deflated in less than 8 seconds. I called the dealer and they said it's not covered. I asked the repair shop and they said the tire pressure monitoring sensor stems on the Chrysler/Dodge commonly break off and they have had many. It's a common problem. On the Dodge/Chrysler forums this happens many time. It ended up costing me 82 and I had to take the tire off. Just by brushing the stem it cracked off is a major safety concern. With snow, or something else brushing across the stem this could lead to an instant tire deflation and los of control a lethal design!!.

Tire sensor light went on in our 2008 Dodge Caravan. Went to put air in tires and found 2 of the 4 valves stems broken off towards the end of the stem. The pieces were still there being held in place by the cap. We purchased this vehicle used in June 2009. These are the tpms stems. I went online and found that this is a very common problem. Why hasn't there been a recall on these type of stems?.

I own a 2005 Dodge grand Caravan that has the tire pressure sensors on each wheel. On February 28th I drove to work, about 12 miles. It was a snowy day and I pulled into my parking lot and parked the van where I always do. About 15 minutes later, about 8:00am, my son came to work and upon entering our store said that I had a flat tire on my front driver's side tire. He said he got out of his car and watched as the tire went flat. The valve stem cap had snapped off right at the bottom of the threads. My dealer put a rubber stem in it's place. The replacement is on back order along with thousands of others!!! I have the broken part as I found it a few weeks later after the snow melted away.
