Consumer Description

ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 2010 I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 MAZDA 3 WHEN I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE TIRE I NOTICED THE TIRE VALVE HAD SHEARED CLEAN OFF THE TIRE. TODAY (2/13/11) I FILLED MY TIRES WITH AIR AND A SECOND TIRE VALVE SHEARED OFF IN THE PROCESS CAUSING THE TIRE TO RAPIDLY DEFLATE. I'VE NOW HAD TWO TIRE STEMS ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR SNAP OFF (ONCE WHILE IN MOTION, ONCE WHILE FILLING IT WITH AIR) IN LESS THEN 6 MONTHS? I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DEFECT IN MATERIAL AND NOT A RARE OCCURRENCE! I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER MAZDA OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEEDS IF THIS VALVE FAILURE OCCURRED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE!!!! *TR
