problem #1

Feb 272006

Liberty 4WD 4-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 23,198 miles
Traveling interstate 94, approximately 70 mph, unavoidable tire debris on roadway. My vehicle front passenger wheel struck rubber truck tire casing which just blew off truck. The valve stem of my tire broke off instantly deflating the tire. The valve stem is part of the siemens bdo tire pressure monitor system installed on daimler Chrysler vehicles and my Jeep Liberty. The stem broke at the stem cap thread. My dealership has reported many failures to daimler Chrysler there is no recall or replacement which fixes the fault. The assembly material is some aluminum alloy and will readily snap off if pressure is applied laterally at the tip of the valve stem even the brushes at the car wash break these valve stems.
