2009 Dodge Ram 1500 wheels problems

“TPMS WHEEL VALVE BONNET CRACKING. NOTICED ONE BONNET CRACKED, TOOK TO DEALER AND HAD REPLACED COMPLETE TPMS WHEEL VALVE ASSEMBLY, NOTED A FEW MONTHS LATER THAT TWO OTHER WHEEL VALVE ASSEMBLY BONNETS WERE SEVERELY CRACKED, ORDERED TPMS VALVE KITS WHICH CONTAINED NEW VALVE STEM BONNETS AND REPLACED CRACKED BONNET UNITS. THE VEHICLE HAS ALMOST 100K MILES.”

“I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON A 70 MPH HIGHWAY AND MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT I WAS TOWING A FULL TRAILER AND HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL. I GOT THE TRUCK PULLED OVER AND CHANGED THE TIRE AND UPON INSPECTION THE VALVE STEM HAD CORRODED AND CAME APART, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE REAR PASSENGER STEM IS ALSO CORRODED AND ONLY HALF IS REMAINING! I HATE THINKING WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF BOTH BLEW OUT OR I WAS DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT WITH THE KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 17,800 MILES ON IT. I AM LEARY TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER! I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE ALL 4 VALVE STEMS AND I THINK ALL OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED!”

“TPMS VALVE STEM FAILURE. HAD TWO HIGH SPEED BLOWOUTS WITHIN ONE MONTH. HIGHWAY SPEED, 65 MPH.SEVERE CORROSION WAS FOUND ON VALVE STEM. TOTAL COST TO REPAIR TIRES AND SENSORS,$1000.00.”

“WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END. I WENT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND AFTER ASSESSING THE ISSUE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PINION WAS BAD AND THERE WAS A CHUNK OF METAL BROKE OFF IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. REPAIRS COST OVER 1600$.”

“DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVE SHAFT CAME OFF MAKING ME LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK BEFORE STOPPING ON SIDE OF ROAD BOUGH THIS VEHICLE ALMOST A YEAR AGO NEVER RECIEVED ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL”

“VALVE STEM NUT CRACKED AND CAME OFF RESULTING IN FLAT TIRE, THANKFULLY IN GARAGE, NOT ON THE ROAD. DISCOVERED NUTS ON TWO OTHER TIRES WERE ALSO CRACKED. (FOURTH VALVE STEM APPARENTLY HAD BEEN REPLACED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASING THE VEHICLE.)”
