problem #1

Jul 062013

Nitro 6-cyl

  • 38,000 miles
Traveling on 3 lane highway at 65 mph with 2 young granddaughters in car right front valve stem blew out causing car to veer to right. Upon inspection by mechanic 2 more valve stems had cracked nuts. Had to replace all stems, 1 sensor and 1 tire. Dealership refuses to accept responsibility even tho their tech admits there is a design flaw in the stem. I called schrader electronics (the manf.) they also admit there is a design flaw but because it is eom product I must deal with Chrysler. They also refuse to accept any responsibility. This is a very dangerous problem that most people are not even aware of. Why hasn't your Agency addressed this problem to date? it has cost me nearly $400 in unreimbursed repairs.
