This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Driving on local road, in Chicago when I discover a tire is flat. I notice that the valve is badly corroded and that the nut that should be holding it in place is missing. While changing the tire the valve stem (TPMS unit) falls into tire. The sudden flat was caused by corrosion of the TPMS unit which caused it to be loose and tire pressure to drop. Research has shown this to be a common problem, existing for many years, that both Dodge and its assistant, the NHTSA, are ignoring.
The stem for the TPMS had corroded through causing flat tire. Warning signaled low tire pressure went to remove the plastic cap and the stem had broken in half and was only held together with 1 thread of plastic cap.
