Description of the problem	While driving my 2009 ram at approximately 35mph, the low tire pressure light lit up, indicating a problem. Before i had time to pull to the side of the road (keep in mind i was only moving at 35mph), the left rear tire went completely flat. Upon inspection of the flat tire, i discovered that the valve stem was missing. After taking the tire to my local mechanic, we learned that the aluminum nut on the valve stem apparently failed and caused the valve stem to fall into the inside of the tire, thus allowing the tire to go flat, virtually instantly. While purchasing a replacement tps (tire pressure sensing) valve at napa, i was told by the employees there, that they have seen multiple problems with this design, caused by the corrosion of the nut due to the salt used on highways here in central new york, during the winter months. About two weeks after this event, i had the truck into the dealership for an oil change. I asked them to replace the remaining 3 valve stems under factory warranty because i believe it's a matter of time before they fail also. The service manager told me they found only one additional valve that appeared to have a "cracked" nut. They replaced only that valve. (by the way.. The new valve design is all rubber. No more alum nut). I rotated the tires to place the potential "time bomb" valves on the rear, in order to prevent a loss of steering when these valves fail, and they will. It's just a matter of time. I only hope the tires don't go flat while i'm travelling at 65 mph. After doing an internet search, i learned that there are multiple reports of this problem. There should be a recall on the metal valves. I'm going to contact chrysler (dodge) to file a complaint.
