Description of the problem	Last sunday, 11/7/10, we were returning from vacation (200 miles from home) and noticed the air pressure was low in our l front tire of our 2008 grand caravan sxt (vehicle is equipped with tpms air sensors). We stopped at a nj gas station to fill the tire when the valve stem snapped off - instantly releasing all the air from the tire. We had to put on the spare and proceeded to look for a place to replace the broken valve stem. We did find one service station open on the nj turnpike, but they stated that they could not put in a standard valve stem as it would require a chrysler part. (as i mentioned earlier, it was sunday am.) to our dismay, we had to "limp" home on the "donut" which entailed traveling on several major interstate. Our concern is the safety factor. We have now noticed on the internet forums that this is a common issue with these aluminum valve stems as there are multiple reports of this occurring at approximately 25k-40k miles. (our vehicle has 43k.) after returning home, i contacted a local dodge dealer and they are also aware of this problem and had to order the part. Thursday, 11/11/10, i had the broken valve stem/sensor replaced ($92. 34) and asked for the broken valve stem/sensor which was given to us. When asked, the service person said that the replacement part has not been modified to keep this from occurring again - except for a plastic cap (which, by the way, the first one had).
