I PULLED OVER AND THE TIRE WAS INDEED FLAT, PUT ON THE SPARE AND RETURNED HOME. I PUMPED THE TIRE BACK UP, OR ATTEMPTED TO AND NOTICED AIR COMING OUT THE SIDE OF THE METAL VALVE STEM. I CONTACT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER AFFAIRS NUMBER AND GOT A SONG AND DANCE THAT REQUIRED ME TO GO TO A DEALER TO GET IT INSPECTED BUT NOT REPAIRED, THEN TO RECONTACT CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY ARE GOING TO DO ANYTHING. DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S NOT A WARRANTY ITEM AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT I SHOULD DO ALL 4 TIRE STEMS AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM...HELLO, $600 FOR 4 TIRE STEMS, ARE YOU NUTS? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE READ MANY PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT TOTAL FAILURE OF THESE METAL VALVE STEMS LEADING TO CRASHES AND SEVERELY DAMAGED TIRES DUE TO SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED FAILURE OF THE POORLY DESIGNED VALVE STEMS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I SEE CHRYSLER CHANGED THE DESIGN IN MID 2010 TO A MORE RELIABLE RUBBER DESIGN...HMM, PERHAPS THIS WAS DUE TO ALL THE COMPLAINTS.

  WE WERE ON A TRIP AND WHILE ON THE TRIP THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER THE 36K WARRANTY. WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 75 MPH WHEN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE VIBRATION AND VIBRATION NOISES. WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF ON AN EXIT WITHIN 1/4 MILE OF THE VEHICLE MAKING THIS NOISE. AFTER WE WERE ABLE TO STOP THE LEFT REAR TIRE SMELLED AWFUL LIKE SOMETHING BURNING. AFTER WE GOT IT TO THE DODGE DEALER THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE CALIPER HAD FAILED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT OUR VIN DID NOT MATCH THOSE VEHICLES HAVING THE REAR BRAKE ISSUES. OBVIOUSLY WE WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHER VEHICLES. CHRYSLER DID AGREE TO COVER THE FAILED CALIPER, BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE WARPED ROTORS OR NEW BRAKES AND WOULD NOT COVER THE CALIPER ON THE RIGHT SIDE AS IT HAD NOT YET FAILED (EVEN THOUGH THE ROTOR WAS BADLY WARPED). THE ROTORS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD TAKE 3 WEEKS TO GET IN. WE WERE TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD YET CHRYSLER WAS UNWILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REPLACE THE RIGHT SIDE CALIPER AS IT HAD NOT YET FAILED. WE REPLACED THE RIGHT SIDE CALIPER AT OUR COST AND BOTH ROTORS AND BRAKES AS BOTH ROTORS WERE WARPED BADLY....FROM DEFECTIVE CALIPERS...BUT SINCE ONLY 1 SIDE WAS LOCKING UP AND SMOKING THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE 1 SIDE. I DID NOT WANT TO PUT MY FAMILY IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD BECOME A FIRE HAZARD AND BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE OF CHRYSLER TO PUT PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER AND NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT SINCE OUR VIN SUPPOSEDLY DID NOT FIT WITH THE VEHICLES THAT WERE DEEMED TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE DIRECTLY AND TALKED ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS BASICALLY UNWILLING TO LOOK UP ANYTHING NEVER OFFERED TO TAKE ANY INFORMATION FROM US (NAME, VEHICLE INFO), BUT YET WAS VERY EAGER TO DISMISS THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE. *TR
