My '03 with 9000 miles just spit out a computer message: 'Service tire system soon, see owners manual'. Couldn't find anything in the manual (might have missed it I suppose). But, what the heck does this mean ? ? Thanks ! Zork
I have an '04 T & C, (Platinum Edition, Touring Model), with similar equipment, I believe. Since the day I took delivery, (about March 24, 2004), the right rear wheel/tire combination has caused me to add about 5 lbs of air pressure every two and one-half, to three days. I believe it to be a faulty wheel, (based ONLY upon my experience with cast aluminum alloy wheels from years of aftermarket purchases for various MoPar hotrods, and having had this occur several times --- all replaced within a matter of days, by the retailer of those wheels, with the explanation that is's a common occurrance), and plan to seek some assistance from the dealer's service department, very soon. I purchased a wheel warranty/insurance coverage, in the event that the wheels become damaged, in some event, (my cost was nearly $200), and I'm not sure HOWthis issue will be handled, the dealer/manufacturer, or the warranty/insurance policy, but somebody better be willing to step up to the plate, soon after I get there, and explain my delemna. What do you think??
I think what you believe would mean more if it were proven. Why not simply spray some soapy water on the valve stem for starters to see if it bubbles. Having worked with cars for some time I can tell you that the valve stem is more apt to be the cause then the wheel.
Maybe I should also inform you that the dealer where I bought the vehicle, is a professional client of mine, and I get along famously, with the Service Manager, and a number of his Service Writers, so I did this stuff, to keep from looking like the mechanical fool you thought me to be, when I DO take it in, . . . . but then, . . . they already know me to have owned all those hotrods, and prolly wouldn't think me a fool, in any case.
