2004 Chrysler Pacifica Tires & Wheels Problems

TL* THE CONTACT WAS 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE CONTINUOUSLY LOSING AIR. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRES, SHE NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR VALVE STEMS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND REPLACED ALL FOUR VALVE STEMS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

THESE VEHICLES HAVE A BALD PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES GOING BALD WAY TOO SOON AND THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY 10,000 MILES I ALWAYS GOT NEW TIRES AT 45,000 TO 60,000 BUT NOW I CANT WAIT THAT LONG. I'VE SEEN MANY OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS NOT JUST ME. I DID PLENTY OF RESEARCH BEFORE I FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS.. *TR

BOUGHT 4 MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR HP TIRES IN OCT 2011 FOR OUR 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AWD. THE CAR CAME WITH MICHELIN TIRES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. SO WE WANTED THE SAME TYPE TIRE FOR REPLACEMENTS. TIRE ID # B9H2XKWX1910-----1 TIRE DOT # B9H2XKWX1911-----2 TIRES # B9H2WKWX2211----1 TIRE SIZE 235/65ZR17 PART # 33809 55,000 MILE WARRANTY TIRES WERE ROTATED EVERY 3,000 MILES AFTER THE JULY 2013 TIRE ROTATION THE TIRES BEGAN A WOOP WOOP SOUND AT ALL SPEEDS. SOUND VERY NOTICEABLE. TIRES AGAIN ROTATED AND REBALANCED(WITH NO CHANGE) 2 MONTHS LATER AND THEY STILL HAVE THIS SOUND. HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE TIRE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR MORE ROTATIONS AND BALANCING( NO CHANGE NEEDED) WITH OUT ANY RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. TIRES ARE STILL ON THE CAR WITH ONLY11,000 MILES ON THE TIRES SINCE PURCHASE. *TR

MY TIRES, WHICH ARE NOT DEFECTIVE NOR WORN KEEPING LOOSING AIR CAUSING THE TPMS SENOR TO COME ON. AFTER TAKING IT IN MANY TIMES TO GET AIR I WAS TOLD THE TPMS SENOR WAS BAD ON ONE TIRE AND THERE WAS CORROSION AROUND THE WHEEL. I REPLACED IT AND HAD SEALANT PUT AROUND THE CORROSION. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THESE WHEELS AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT. I STILL HAVE TO CONTINUALLY PUT AIR IN THE TIRES EVERY 7-10 DAYS, AND THE "SERVICE TIRE SYSTEM" MESSAGE NOW NEVER GOES OUT. *TR

WHILE CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE TPMS BROKE - FILED BY JIFFY LUBE. *TR

DANGEROUS SITUATION: WHILE CONNECTING FROM FLORIDA ST RD 826 TO ST RD 836, THE CAR SOUNDED AN ALARM & DISPLAYED A TIRE WARNING ON THE PANEL. I THEN FELT THAT ONE OF THE TIRES HAD QUICKLY GONE FLAT. UPON INSPECTION, NOTICED THAT THE STEM FOR ONE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS HAD BROKEN OFF. WHILE CHANGING THE TIRE, AN EXPRESSWAY ASSISTANCE TRUCK STOPPED BY TO HELP AND LOGGED A RECORD OF THE MOTORIST ASSIST. PICTURES WILL BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST. *TR

I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER PACIFIC 2 WEEKS AGO AND IMMEDIATELY FOUND ISSUES WITH IT I TOOK IT BACK AND ASKED FOR IT TO BE FIXED. THEY KEPT IT FOR A DAY AND NOTHING WAS DONE. I GOT TO WORK ONEDAY AND IT WOULD NOT START. I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT TIRES RODS WERE BAD, THE STABILIZER WAS BAD AND 3 TIRES BALD. I CANT GET THE DEALER TO TAKE ME OUT OF THE LOAN AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS ON CHRYSLER MODELS ARE PRONE TO VALVE CORE CORROSION. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN VALVE CORE FAILURE AND SUBSEQUENT, RAPID RELEASE OF TIRE AIR PRESSURE. THE VALVE CORE SEPARATES LEAVING THE THREADED PORTION OF THE CORE INSIDE THE VALVE STEM. THIS CONDITION HAS PRESENTED TWICE DURING ATTEMPTS TO INFLATE TIRES TO PROPER PRESSURE AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING. THE LATTER INCIDENT RESULTED IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TIRE. THIS ISSUE IS COMMON IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE TIRE REPAIR FACILITIES THAT I HAVE MADE INQUIRIES WITH. *TR

I OWN A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AWD. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED 3-4 TIMES FOR A "CHECK TIRE SYSTEM LIGHT". EACH TIME, THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IM GIVEN A WE COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT OR THE ALERT DID NOT COME ON WHY IN THEIR SHOP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2007. *TR

IS CHRYSLER DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE BAD RIMS THEY PUT ON THE PACIFICA? HAVING TO AIR MY TIRES DAILY, I'VE CHANGE THE TIRES 3 TIMES, REMOVED THE SENSORS, AND HAVING A MULTITUDE OF SERVICE PEOPLE CHECK THEM. WHEN ALL THE WHILE IT WAS THE RIMS WHICH HAVE CRACKS AND ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND. DID CHRYSLER ISSUE A RECALL ON THE RIMS OR ARE WE ON OUR OWN?

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WORKED WHEN I GOT A FLAT TIRE. WHEN TIRE WAS REPLACED, MECHANIC SAID THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TODAY I HAD THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE SENSOR ON THE TIRE THAT ORIGINALLY WENT FLAT, SERVICE WRITER CALLED TO SAY ALL 4 SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS NONE ARE RESPONDING! *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE CONSUMER WAS FLAGGED DOWN BY ANOTHER MOTORIST ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS INFORMED THAT SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER 'S SIDE TIRE. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER. THE PASSENGER 'S SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. MICHELIN, ENERGY MXV4 PLUS, 235/6517 RADIAL XE, DOT AP87W3XX2003. THE DRIVER CALLED FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE , AND VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK *SC

NO SUMMARY. *AK SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR IN TWO TIRES CAUSING CAR TO GO OUT OF CONTROL, STRIKING A MAIL BOX AND A TREE. THIS CAR WAS ONLY A WEEK OLD AND HAD LESS THAN 400 MILES ON IT.
