NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:VALVE filed December 2, 2012

NHTSA complaint #951961 (ODI reference 10486735) concerns a 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY and was filed on December 2, 2012. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 2, 2012. The vehicle had 40,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Vermont based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:valve, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY cohort independently describe similar tires:valve failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS 40000 MILES ON IT. APPROXIMATELY AFTER A MONTH OF OWNING IT, THE TMPS VALVE STEM BROKE OFF THE TIRE WHILE REFILLING WITH AIR. THE SENSOR HAS NOW BROKEN OFF THREE SEPARATE TIRES. I RESEARCHED WHETHER THIS WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND FOUND OUT THAT IS HAS BEEN. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMEONE WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED? THESE VALVE STEMS ARE ALUMINUM, NOT RUBBER AND THEY CORRODE QUICKLY. ALSO, THEY ARE NOT CHEAP TO REPLACE APPROX. $100 EA. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATHS FROM FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *TR
