8 reportsWHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH OR LESS FOR LESS THAN 5 MINUTES IN CITY TRAFFIC, MY RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. FIRESTONE FR710. PURCHASED 11/30/15

THE TPMS FAILED. THE VALVE STEM CRACKED OFF WHEN ADDING AIR. AIR WAS BEING ADDED BECAUSE THE VALVE STEM WAS LEAKING, AND THE TIRE WAS NEAR FLAT, AND I WANTED TO TAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TPMS VALVE FAILURE I HAVE HAD. FORTUNATELY, BOTH OCCURRED AT A STANDSTILL. I SEE TALES ON THE INTERNET OF FAILURE AT HIGH SPEED, FOLLOWED BY VARY RAPID DECOMPRESSION AND TIRE FAILURE. EXPENSIVE, IF NOT UNSAFE. IN MY OWN CASE, WITH OVER 50 YEARS DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND 2 YEARS AS A MECHANIC, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VALVE STEM FAILURE BEFORE. NOW, I HAVE TWO. EXPERT MECHANICS ARE ADVISING TO REPLACE THEM WITH STANDARD VALVES, AND I WILL. FROM AN ECONOMIC VIEW, THE SEVERAL FAILURES OF THE STEMS, AND STEM FAILURES, HAVE COST ME ABOUT 6 CENTS PER MILE. GAS HAS COST ME ABOUT 18 CENTS PER MILE (AT TODAYS COST). THUS, THE TPMS SYSTEM MAINTENANCE IS ABOUT 1/3 OF THE GAS COST. I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY THAT THE TPMS SYSTEM SAVES THAT MUCH IN GASOLINE USE. BUT FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK SUDDEN DEPRESSURIZATION FOLLOWED BY TIRE DESTRUCTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THUS, I WILL BE PULLING THOSE OUT BEFORE MY NEXT HIGHWAY TRIP. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS, LOOKING AT THE DESIGNS, AND LOOKING AT EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS, I CONCLUDE THAT TPMS IS A GOOD IDEA WITH A BAD EXECUTION. IF THEY ARE NOT (NEARLY AS SECURE) AS OLDER VALVE STEMS, THEY SHOULD BE DE-MANDATED. FINALLY, I NOTE THAT AT LEAST SOME OF THESE HAVE MERCURY IN THE PACKAGE AS A ROTARY SWITCH. AS MUCH AS WE ARE SPENDING TO REMOVE MERCURY FROM THE ENVIRONMENT . . . *TR

THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS (BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE) ON MY 2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH 56,000 WERE FOUND TO BE LOOSE WHILE MY CAR WAS GETTING ITS BRAKES REPLACED. UNSURE IF I WAS JUST BEING TOLD THAT MY REAR WHEEL BEARINGS WERE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED, I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE. I WAS INFORMED MY REAR WHEEL BEARINGS WERE SO BAD, I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT ALL WITH MY SON. THEY WERE REPLACED AT COST OF $605. WHEN I LOOKED UP REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS, IT MADE ME REALIZE THIS IS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT WAS BOTH OF THEM. *TR

1DP14002 · Engine Stall After Refueling
Opened Sep 5, 2014 · Closed Apr 6, 2015
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Fuel System, Gasoline:storage:tank Assembly
This defect petition evaluates July 7, 2014 allegations from an owner of a model year (MY) 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan that engine stall occurs in these vehicles without warning after refueling.The petitioner's vehicle is a Chrysler RS platform minivan.The RS platform includes MY 2003 through 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country and Chrysler Voyager minivans.NHTSA evaluated the petition by analyzing consumer complaints submitted to the Agency, analyzing field data, reviewing technical information provided in Chrysler's response to an Agency information request and testing an RS minivan identified by its owner as experiencing post-refuel engine stalls.After completing this evaluation, NHTSA has concluded that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists.The stalls occurring in these vehicles only occur immediately after filling up the fuel tank and happen at low engine speeds. The failure rate is low, even after 8 to 13 years of the vehicles being in service, and there are no reports of crashes or injuries resulting from the stall condition.In the Agency's view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in finding the existence of a safety-related defect in the subject vehicles.Given the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the Agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.This action does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will take further action if warranted by future circumstances. More details concerning our review can be found in the Federal Register Notice for this action.The following 161 VOQs are included in the petition evaluation: 10209242, 10229468, 10240708, 10260923, 10275939, 10276532, 10296487, 10298175, 10328669, 10330144, 10346517, 10349789, 10354758, 10363689, 10372112, 10372368, 10372514, 10378031, 10379764, 10382938, 10387448, 10394063, 10398877, 10413918, 10418652, 10420924, 10427063, 10437525, 10445392, 10446902, 10470028, 10471249, 10473733, 10502231, 10503114, 10504260, 10509862, 10511988, 10512120, 10512385, 10512650, 10513147, 10538154, 10549841, 10551763, 10555188, 10555418, 10556754, 10565367, 10574012, 10574398, 10586555, 10587212, 10587559, 10593433, 10607841, 10607913, 10608922, 10615810, 10622468, 10628141, 10632112, 10632128, 10632172, 10632175, 10632231, 10632262, 10632266, 10632270, 10632305, 10632316, 10632326, 10632370, 10632385, 10632399, 10632492, 10632542, 10632765, 10632833, 10632928, 10633197, 10633281, 10633409, 10633421, 10633483, 10633507, 10637752, 10637804, 10637950, 10637975, 10638032, 10638289, 10638290, 10638401, 10638968, 10639218, 10639623, 10641157, 10641603, 10641614, 10641836, 10644339, 10644705, 10649713, 10649895, 10649932, 10650313, 10652590, 10653147, 10653783, 10654533, 10655226, 10658900, 10659679, 10660320, 10662588, 10662645, 10662662, 10663473, 10667056, 10667437, 10668081, 10668094, 10668131, 10668612, 10668969, 10668970, 10669584, 10669678, 10669729, 10669775, 10669866, 10669895, 10669992, 10670422, 10670506, 10676348, 10676732, 10677120, 10679795, 10679934, 10680057, 10680290, 10680342, 10680714, 10681512, 10682584, 10682906, 10683022, 10683114, 10683549, 10683620, 10683697, 10683743, 10689898, 10690761, 10691284, 10691556, 10691751, 10693061, 10694300
