| Description of the problem | The tire valve stem tips (the end metal part), which are integral with the tpms, break off leading to a sudden and complete loss of air from the tire. This has happened twice on two different tires on our 2008 dodge grand caravan. Once at about 25k and the second time at 33k. The dodge dealership says this is a common occurrence but will not cover it under warranty. |
