I have owned this 2005 Dodge Sprinter for over a year and have had 4 flat tires due to valve stem failures (it is sitting in my parking lot right now with a flat front drivers tire) the valve stem bulges and spits out air as soon as I fill it. I can feel the leak and see the stem bulge when try to put air in the tire . I have seen other Sprinters with this problem mercedes recalled 2004 Sprinter for this problem but it is obvious that more vehicles are affected. This is a very dangerous situation if they were to fail on a loaded vehicle at highway speeds.

There is currently a complaint for the 2500 Dodge Sprinters, for valve stem failure. What about the 3500? I've had three valve stem failures so far and no recourse. Why is the 2500 different than the 3,500? two happened on the highway and one just let go while parked. Luckily two were on the rear duals and I had the other tire to bear the weight.
