How about just covering the sensor in the center of the dash to turn the lights on when the light stick in Auto On.

Had a 1 1/2" cut in the drivers seat panel and needed to replace the panel on the seat. The upholstery guy couldn't find a match in anything Dodge had. When the car is made in Mexico, what do you expect. Anyway, he found a match on a Ford 2005 I believe. Good job Mike. I was planning to turn the car in at the end of the lease, but kept it as I couldn't make my mind up on what to buy.

Someone said they changed the water pump and the noise disappeared. May be covered under the power train warranty. Turning it in first of July, hopefully before it takes a crap..

I found the valves at TMPS Wholsalers. $34 ea. They are Schrader and have plastic nuts so they won't corrode and split. recognized by the car after being installed by my tire man. Wild Bill

I've had 4 of the TPMS valves break on my 09 RT. Dodge replaced 2 but the other 2 were out of warranty and I had standard valves put in till I found replacements at "TMPS Wholesalers" in Michigan. $34.83 each and the car recognized them right after they were installed by my tire guys. Also had to put 4 new Kumho tires on at the same time. I ordered them from Tirerack at $203+ frt each. I got 40k miles out of the original Kumho tires by rotating at each oil change. Not bad.

I experienced the same handling problem until the AWD light came on. Only drove for about 20 miles. Dodge needs to let owners know about this problem.

Try Tirerack on line. Just bought the 4 tires for $203 each. I had almost 40k miles before one tire came apart on me. Should have bought snow tires and rims when I first got the car. Suprize how many miles I got out of the Kumho tires.

I recently had to replace my 2nd and 3rd TPMS valve stem assembly. Unfortunately the car is no longer under warranty so I had standard valve stems installed seen as I have to buy new tires in the next few months. The first two, the outside screw on aluminum housing split length wise. The other one, the portion where the valve cap screws on, had broken off just below the cap. The yellow warning lite is on, but who cares. The tire dealer could not unscrew the outside piece. Mainly due to it being corroded onto the long stem that goes to the sensor inside the tire. If I'd have know about the problem I'd be facing, I would have applied anti-seize to the whole assembly along time ago. I'm looking for a replacement that won't corrode so badly and is a lot cheaper than what Dodge parts wants me to pay($72 ea). Found one online for $45 ea., but now sure if it's compatible with the Dodge TPMS. If the federal government wants to mandate we have this system they should make sure it doesn't rot off in 2 years or 37K miles. One less option I want on the next car. Wild Bill

It's not the A/C as i have it turned off. The noise appears to come from the top of the engine, left side, looking at it from the front. It's a intermittent noise that may last several minutes and it is gone again.

I've had this intermittent chirping noise for several months. No TSB's on the noise. Been to 2 dealership and still no fix. The first dealer, Johnson Brothers, thought it was the belt idler pulley , then the belt tensioner and finally the alternator. Noise still there with all the new parts. I like parts changers as it keep everything looking new under the hood. Moved on to the Transitowne dealership and they had 3 tries at the noise and still no fix. The last time they just parked the car, went out and started it several times without driving it. Zero miles on it when I picked it up. They couldn't duplicate the noise. The next day the noise was back. Called and talked to the same service writer with no results so I told him "Nice knowing you" One more dealer to try in the area. Then if it's not fixed, I'll just drive it till the noise is so load a monkey could find it. Sound pissed, you bet. So if anyone has this type of noise, I'd appreciated your input. Even better if you have a fix for it. Wild Bill

I just had the same problem of the TMS light coming on and found one stem split. Calling the dealer tomorrow to get it replaced. Maybe I can get them to do all four?

I just got done installing the Valley hitch on my RT. The correct hardware per Valley was sent with the package but it was missing something. In order to install the 2 forward horizontal bolts you need to wrap mechanics wire, real tight, around the nuts they send and fish them into place from the rear of the frame tube order to install them. The Valley customer service tech said to use your finger to hold it in place but mine aren't 8" long. brside the mufflers are in the way. So the mechanics wire did the trick. One took half an hour to line up. Then there is the 2 long, rear horizontal bolt, that you can't torque because they crush the frame. Also a pain to line up and thread the bolt into the tab nut. Had to call on the wife to work the bolt while I tried to line up the nut. Couldn't believe how long it took to install 6 bolts and nuts. When I cool down tomorrow, Valley gets a piece of my mind. They also send the hitch in a large cardboard box that UPS commenced to punch 5 holes in and Valley said UPS was to rough with package handling. How about they stick some foam blocks in the box to hold the hitch in place for the UPS rough ride. No recommendation for Valley Hitch. But the Husky custom mats I got for the front fit like a glove. Sweet. Wild Bill

Got in the car this morning, started it up and put it immediately into drive and gave it the gas. It felt like the tranny was slipping as it crept forward. Took my foot of the gas then reapplied it and it acted normal and accelerated. Any one experienced this? Had a check engine light on the dash the day before but it went out after checking if the gas cap was tight and taking a 15 mile drive. Calling the dealer to see if they have any info on this.

I went to the Dodge dealership and got the air filter($26.90) and cabin filter($20.17). A bit pricey as the after markets are about 50% less. Air filter fit just fine. Anyone notice how much dirt was in the bottom of the air box? Bad intake location behind the grill, maybe? I'm going to write to Purolaor and find out why the air filter does not fit and why they don't make a cabin filter. Let you know what I hear. Set for another 12,000 miles.

Be aware that the Purolator PA35396 gasket is thicker than the OEM and when the tech from Advance Auto Parts installed the second filter because the first would not fit, he tore the gasket pushing the air box cover in place and and had to force the retainer clips in place. Got a refund and will purchase air filter from Dodge. I also cannot find the cabin filter so I guess that will come from Dodge also. Wild Bill
