| 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 | |||

| The tire pressure monitor sensors on the 2010 chrysler town and country have valve stems that are built into the sensor - they cannot be separated. the valve stems are aluminum, and they break extremely easily. i bought this vehicle (used) in september, and within less than 3 months all four stems have broken. fortunately, each time i found one of the broken, the van was in my driveway, and they were not leaking air. in every case, the aluminum was badly corroded - something that shouldn't happen on a vehicle that is less than two years old. the stems should have been made from a material that is less likely to corrode, such as rubber. | |||
