TIREFIT Warning!!!!!

8009 Views 14 Replies 13 Participants Last post by  peted55
TIREFIT, is the air pump/can of fix-a-flat unit that comes with the SRT-8 instead of a spare tire. The unit comes self contained, with a lighter adapter cord coiled up in the sied, an air hose coiled in the bottom, and the tire sealant hose coiled around the outside bottom of the unit.

NOW THE PROBLEM:

The air hose is stored with the nozzle attached to an air inlet valve on the side of the can of fix-a-flat. Apparently, you hook the air hose to this nozzle and turn the pump on to force the fix a flat out of the can and into your flat tire. Unfortunately, the air hose is STORED ATTACHED TO THE FIX-A-FLAT NOZZLE!!!!!

WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM?

If the air pump is "ON" when you plug the unit in, you will instantaneously spray fix-a-flat all over the place. (Ask me how I know :( )

WHY IS THIS AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM?

Guess the price of the replacement canister of fix-a-flat?

$72 :eek:
Typical retail price for can of fix-a-flat: $4.50 - $7.99

OUCH! I'd never buy the replacement, except I want the car 100% as original - which includes an unused can of fix-a-flat.


For anyone else out there who may ever use the air pump - you've been warned.

WOW! Lucky you didn't hit your car with that stuff. Wonder how good that would be for the finish.:eek:

This is silly for Chrysler to do this. And $72?!?!?
