WE HAVE NEVER HAD A FLAT TIRE UNTIL WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, THE MONITORING VALVE STEMS HAVE TO BE DEFECTIVE. WE HAVE HAD THREE BLOWOUTS ALL ON THE HIGHWAY WITHIN THE PAST THREE YEARS DUE TO THESE STEMS. IS THERE A RECALL? IF NOT THERE SHOULD BE. WE WOULD GET RID OF THEM BUT THEY TELL US THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WILL STAY ON. THERE IS NO WARNING, THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND WE CHECK OUR TIRE PRESSURE. I SEE DODGE HAS HAD RECALLS ON THESE STEMS BUT NOT FOR THE AVENGER. EACH TIME WE LOSE THE TIRE TOO, BY THE TIME WE CAN PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IT COSTS US $120 DOLLARS EACH TIME FOR THE TIRE NEW MONITORING VALVE STEM, HAVING IT PROGRAMMED AND A TIRE, ALREADY $360.00 AND THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING KILLED CHANGING THE TIRE EACH TIME. CAN YOU HELP US? WE HAVE ONE ORIGINAL ONE LEFT AND WE KNOW IT IS GOING TO GO? THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM MILFORD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALER, MILFORD PA 18337, PHONE NUMBER [XXX].
