TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) SPONTANEOUSLY GIVE FALSE ALARM WITH AUDIBLE WARNING, FLASHING YELLOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING DASH LIGHT, "CHECK TPM SYSTEM" DISPLAY LIGHTS THEN MESSAGE DISPLAY SHOWS THE TIRE PRESSURE IN THE FOUR TIRES. THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAY ONE AT A TIME DELETES DISPLAY OF TWO DIGIT TIRE PRESSURES AND REPLACES EACH TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAY WITH "- -" IN PLACE OF THE ACTUAL PRESSURE UNTIL ALL FOUR TIRE PRESSURES ARE DISPLAYED AS "- -" AND THAT FALSE TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAY CONTINUES FOR MANY MINUTES WHILE THE ELECTRONIC DISPLAY SHOWS PRESENCE OF SYSTEM WARNING. THE LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE ON EACH TIRES CAN ORIGINATE WITH ANY OF THE FOUR TIRES AND CONTINUES UNTIL ALL FOUR ARE "- -" READINGS. THE SYSTEM CONTINUES THE FALSE WARNING FOR MANY MINUTES. THE SYSTEM CAN SPONTANEOUS RESET THE FALSE WARNING TO NORMAL OPERATION DURING THE SAME TRAVEL. THE SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE THE FALSE WARNING AFTER THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, THE KEY FOB REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE DOOR OPENED. THE FALSE WARNING CAN ARISE SPONTANEOUSLY UNDER ANY TRAVEL CONDITIONS WHETHER STOPPED OR IN MOTION, ON ROUGH CITY STREETS OR SMOOTH EXPRESSWAY, WHETHER TRAVELING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. THE FALSE WARNING CAN HAPPEN FREQUENTLY OR INTERMITTENTLY WEEKS OR MONTHS BETWEEN EVENTS. MY COMPLAINTS STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD MUCH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. FOR FIVE YEARS OR SO THE DEALER WHO SOLD THE VEHICLE TO ME HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER CONSULTING THE CHRYSLER TECH SUPPORT PEOPLE DESPITE MY NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND PROVIDING VIDEO AND STILL PHOTO EVIDENCE OF THE EVENT HAPPENING AND GIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER A NO DEDUCTIBLE CHRYSLER BUMPER TO BUMPER LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR WHICH I PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I HAVE VIDEO AND STILL PHOTOS DOCUMENTING THE EVENTS.
VALVE STEM TIP CAME OFF WHILE REMOVING THE CAP TO PUT AIR IN TIRE. TIRE KEEP GOING FLAT. CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME. ALUMINUM VALVE STEM CORRODED JUST FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE SOME COMPLAINTS SAID THERE'S CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING
TIRE VALES CORRODS/CAUSES WHEEL CORROSION. NEED TO REPLACE ALL TIRE VALVES INCLUDING SENSORIES. ONCE TIRE VALVES CORRODES AIR DEFLATES OUT OF TIRES IMMEDIATLY WHICH CAN CAUSE A DANGER TO ON THE ROAD AND CAN CRASH. THE CORROSION IS CAUSED FROM THE VALVES NOT BEING MADE OF RUBBER. THIS IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. ESPECIALLY LIVING IN CERTAIN WHEATHER CONDITIONS. I WAS FILLING MY TIRES UP WITH AIR BECAUSE SENSOR CAME ON IN CAR SAYING PRESSURE WAS LOW, THE VALVES IN THE REAR BACK OF VEHICLE ONE BROKE OFF AS SOON AS I WENT TO PUT AIR IN AND THE OTHER THE CASSING EXPLODED OFF WHEN AIR WAS BEING PUT IN TIRE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL IS CORRODED DUE TO VALVE CORROSION. THANKFULLY I WENT TO MY MECHANIC IMMEDIATLY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THAT LIVED DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME. I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN CAR WITH ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER AND RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED ON THESE TIRE VAVLES.
THE WHEEL / TIRE AIR VALVE STEMS CORRODES AND BREAKS. THE TIRE LOOSES ALL AIR PRESSURE AND NEEDS REPAIR. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING, IT COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING ISSUE! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 OF MY WHEELS SO FAR. NOTE: I LIVE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW AND SALT IS USED ON THE ROADS.
DRIVING ON A STATE ROUTE AT MIDNIGHT, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE JUST BLEW. WE GOT THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. LONG STORY SHORT, AN "ANGEL" STOPPED AND CHANGED THE TIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING THE VAN THAT A TIRE BLEW WHILE DRIVING. I WAS VERY LUCKY. BOTH TIMES I HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SENSOR VALVE ON THE TIRE HAD JUST CRACKED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH RUBBER SO THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE NEWER CARS. SHOULDN'T THIS BE RECALLED OR SOMETHING BECAUSE NOW I AM AFRAID THAT THE OTHER 2 TIRES MIGHT DO THE SAME. I AM 79 YEARS OLD AND I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR BUT I ALSO CAN'T GO AROUND WORRYING EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. WHAT CAN BE DONE, IF ANYTHING. THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME AND I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME.

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.

I HAD THREE COOPER DEVELOP BUBBLES IN THE SIDE WALLS. WHEN I CONTACTED COOPER TIRE CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY DENIED HAVING ISSUES. HOW COULD 3 OUT OF 4 TIRES GO BAD WITH BUBBLES IN THE SIDEWALLS AND NOT HAVE SAFETY AND OR QUALITY ISSUES? I FEEL THAT COOPER TIRE IS NOT TELLING ME THE WHOLE STORY. *TR
