| Description of the problem | I was traveling at 65 mph when i heard a sound from the rear passenger side. I immediately pulled over to discover my tire was completely flat and the valve stem had come loose. This is the second time this has happened, the first was back in november. The time span for the latest incident was approx. 10-15 seconds. A rapid deflation. I had just put new tires on the jeep in nov. Now one of them is destroyed. I talked to two jeep dealers since the event on 3/8/13. Both of them said that there is a problem with these parts failing in northern states due to corrosion and that if " i lived in california, this would not be an issue." i was offered new rubber tmps stems for $433. 00. Not satisfactory. I feel i was lucky that this was not a front tire! |
