Consumer Description

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER. THE CONTACT NOTICED A METAL CAP ATTACHED TO THE VALVE STEMS WAS FROZEN, PREVENTING HIM FROM REMOVING THEM. AS A RESULT, HE WAS UNABLE TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRES. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER POSSIBLY LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHING DUE TO THE TIRES BEING UNDER INFLATED. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER REFUSED TO REMOVE THE FROZEN CAPS AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THE TIRE SENSORS WOULD FRACTURE IF THEY DID SO, AND HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALER ON THE CONTACT'S BEHALF. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 47,241.
