I'M HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE VALVE STEMS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER WITH FIRESTONE FIREHAWK PURSUIT TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DOTHAN CHRYSLER DODGE, DOTHAN AL 7 TIMES ALREADY FOR VALVESTEMS AND IT ONLY HAS 13,400 MILES ON IT! THE VEHICLE IS OWNED BY THE ALABAMA DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY, AND RAPID DEFLATION OF A TIRE IS A MAJOR CONCERN WHILE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES AS AN ALABAMA STATE TROOPER. THE VALVE STEMS ARE LEAKING FROM THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. I'M AT A LOSS AS HOW TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. DODGE DENIES ANY PROBLEM EVEN EXISTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CHARGER SRT-8. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK OIL WARNING INDICATOR. IN ORDER TO RESET THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT INTO PARK, POWER OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AS IT CONTINUED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND THERE WERE NO REPAIRS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,185 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600.

WE HAVE THREE 2010 POLICE PACKAGE DODGE CHARGERS ON OUR DEPARTMENT. ALL THREE WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VALVE STEMS LEAKING. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEM. THE AIR PRESSURE SENSOR IS ATTACHED TO THE VALVE STEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN MY OPINION. IF YOUR GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED TO A CALL AND THE STEM COMES APART YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY WRECK YOUR PATROL CAR. OUR STATE HIGHWAY PATROL IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU CONTACT THE DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS THEY WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING. WHY CAN'T THE SENSOR GO ON A BAND THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL AS THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. *TR

CONTINUE TO HAVE FLAT TIRES ON 2010 DODGE CHARGER. VALVE STEMS LEAK. AIR PRESSURE SENSOR IS ATTACHED TO VALVE STEM. *TR

HAD MY FIRST PROBLEM WITH MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER R/T ~ 6K MILES ON THE CLOCK. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN ~ 5 DEGREE F TEMPS - THE CAR WAS FULLY WARMED UP AND IT WAS AROUND 9AM IN THE MORNING, THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED, WITH ALL THE ERROR INDICATORS COMING ON. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKING WENT OUT. I STOPPED THE CAR, CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD FOR SOME SORT OF VISIBLE DAMAGE. SEEING NONE & CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL - I WENT TO RESTART AND FOUND THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. DOUBLE CHECKED I WAS IN PARK, EVERYTHING WAS SQUARED AWAY - TOOK THE KEY OUT - PUT IT BACK IN, TURNED - AND HEARD A SINGLE IGNITION - LIKE ONE COIL WENT OFF - THEN STOPPED. TRIED IT AGAIN, WOULDN'T TURN OVER. SO I CALL DODGE ROADSIDE FOR A TOW AND SIT THERE FOR 10 MINUTES. WHILE WAITING I DECIDED TO THEN TRY IT AGAIN, THEN MAGICALLY THE STARTER ACTUALLY GOES AND IT TURNS OVER. I WAS MAYBE 5 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP - SO I TOOK IT STRAIGHT THERE WHERE THEY TOOK A LOOK AT IT. FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR TELL ME WHY IT OCCURRED OR HOW I CAN PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. *TR
