#10062609March 19, 2004
TIRES:VALVE
I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH AIR PRESSURE LOSS IN MY TIRES. EVERY TIRE ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AT LEAST ONCE AND ONE TIRE HAS BEEN SERVICED THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER INDICATES THAT IT IS A PROBLEM OF CORROSION AROUND THE VALVE STEM CAUSING LEAK DOWN. THE DEALER ALSO INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY ON THE LHS AND 300M. I ASKED IF CHRYSLER HAS A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE IS NOT A FIX. MEANWHILE, MY VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND I HAVE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE 3 VALVE STEMS REPLACED FOR A PROBLEM THAT WILL EVENTUALLY REOCCUR. THIS LAST TIME ALMOST RESULTED IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AS THE TIRE ALMOST CAME OFF OF THE RIM. NOW, AFTER THE FIRST 3 FAILURES I HAVE MADE IT A HABIT TO REINFLATE MY TIRES AT EVERY FUELING AND DID SO NOT LESS THAN 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS LATEST FAILURE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CONTINUAL INACTION ON THE PART OF CHRYSLER WILL RESULT IN THE HARM OF ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS OR SOMEONE ELSE AND THIS CORRESPONDENCE SERVES AS NOTICE OF MY CONCERN. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH YOUR RESPONSE.*AK
