| Description of the problem | Valve stem failure: while replacing tires, tire dealer removed schrader valve from inside valve stem and valve stem came apart in his hand. Took wheel to dealership and had tpms replaced at a cost of $100 (deductable on extended warranty). Instructed dealer to remove and reinstall schader valves from remaining three wheels to see if problem would reoccur... And did not. I feel that the valve stem was defective and dodge should pay for repair. *tt |
