OUR 2010 AMBULANCE HAS HAD THREE FLAT TIRES DUE TO VALVE STEM FAILURES. WE RECENTLY REPLACED THE HEAVY DUTY RUBBER VALVE STEMS WITH STEEL VALVE STEMS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THESE THREE FAILURES ARE ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 7300 MILES. *TR
2010 Chevrolet W4500

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
