2007 Dodge Durango (approx 42k) equipped with tpms tire pressure monitoring system. All 4 valve stems, metal is corroded. One valve stem broken off at the threads when filling tire with air. Dealer says they know of issues with corroding on valve stems with tpms but is not covered under warranty or recall. I consider this a safety issue. I cannot put air in one tire. This could also be leaking and will cause tire to be flat or blow out. Replacement of tpms unit in order to fix all 4 or go to normal valve stems with no tpms.
