 I have had to replace 3 of 4 my valve stems because the threading around were you put the cap on twisted off while i was putting air in my tire. while removing the cap the stem had snapped right at the thread. the first time this happened was 180 miles away from my residence. another time i was three states away. having this happen while not near you home is very frustrating and was very frustrating. on the second time i was foolish enough to have a tire person talk me out of not getting it replaced, three days later out of state it snapped on me. what a freaking headache. i still the broken piece in my car after the guy fixed it for me. what a mess. *tr

 Tl*the contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. the vehicle has cooper discoverer atr tires, size 255/65r17. while routinely inspecting the tires, the contact noticed that the exterior sidewall tires had belt separation. in addition, the tread had excessive wear. she took the tires to a tire dealer and they diagnosed it as just cosmetic failure. the manufacturer stated that those particular tires (dot ending in 1506 and 3506) were excluded from nhtsa campaign id number 06t016000 (tires:tread/belt). the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. she has pictures of the failed component. the vin was unknown. the tire failure mileage was 5,000. the vehicle failure and current mileages were 95,000.

 The goodyear wrangler hp's on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee are wearing terribly! there are only 6400 miles on the suv and the tires are feathering something awful! the vehicle was in for service and tire rotation july 31, 2006. i also asked the dealer to inspect the tread wear on the tires. the dealer stated that it was normal. i have since had the vehicle examined by a service/parts representative at a different local dealership. he stated that in no way was the tire wear normal. he added that the wear on my tires resembles that of a vehicle with nearly 20,000 miles on it. this is unacceptable in my eyes. *nm
TIRES - PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

 I currently drive a 2005 jeep grand cherokee loredo, and i have been having trouble with the tpms tire valve stem spontaneously breaking causing rapid deflation. so far two have broken, but fortunately the car was not moving on both occasions. it appears the valves broke due to corrosion. my concern is that this may occur at a high rate of speed, causing a loss of control.

 I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee with tpms sensors installed. apparently, metal caps were installed on the valve stems that oxidated together making their removal impossible without twisting off the valve stem, flattening the tire. i can't even get a replacement tpms valve replacement from jeep (mopar) because they are on backorder (due to high demond because of problems like this). this creates an unsafe driving situation--i can't check my tire pressure because the cap is frozen on to the stem--if i try to remove it, the stem will break, and there is no supply of tpms replacement parts. these should have never been on the market installed this way-they should have had rubber/plastic caps installed.

 My wife had a flat tire this date and when the tire shop she took it to, pulled the tire from the wheel and noticed bubbles on the walls on the inside of the tire. they told her the tire was defective, but she probably caused the defect by draining it 15 minutes with slightly low tire pressure. tire pressures are monitored closely and checked at least monthly with very little variations ever detected. *jb

 Tire pressure sensing valve stems. 3 of the 4 valve stems have cracked and broken around the thread area of the cap resulting in tire pressure loss. *tr
