Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep Tire Pressure Sensor update.

Tire Pressure Sensor Valve Stem Failure update- We've been researching this problem over the past 24 hours and found significant issues with these from multiple manufacturers now. If you have valve stems on your vehicle that are made of aluminum we strongly recommend you replace them for your own safety. As part of our research we have learned that Schrader manufactures a number of OEM compatible sensors that use the rubber & brass configuration instead of the aluminum one. We will be ordering a set of them for the 2008 Town and Country Monday morning. We will then bill Chrysler for the parts & installation. We strongly urge you to do the same for your own safety. The Schrader catalog is available here: http://www.hancousa.com/Schrader%20Application%20Chart.pdf Visit your local tire shop and they should be able to source them for you. Please share this information as widely as possible so that everyone is aware of the dangers of these aluminum valve based Tire Pressure Sensors (TPS). I am still appalled at the answers I'm getting from Chrylser about this problem.
