Consumer Description

TPMS SENSOR-VALVE SLOW LEAK: FOUR NEW TIRES (PIRELLI P6 FOUR SEASONS) INSTALLED AT MAZDA DEALER ON JAN 2011. THE ORIGINAL TPMS SENSOR-VALVES WHERE USED ON THE NEW TIRES. AFTER THAT THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT WOULD GO ON EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS. I WOULD CHECK THE PRESSURE IN ALL THE TIRES USING A DIGITAL GAUGE WHICH SHOWED SLIGHTLY LOW PRESSURE (HIGH 20?S PSI) IN ONE TIRE, THE SAME TIRE EACH TIME. I WOULD INFLATE THE TIRE TO THE CORRECT PRESSURE. ONE REASON I AM REPORTING THIS IS THAT THERE IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF TPMS SENSOR VALVES BREAKING EASILY WHEN PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE. THE MORE ONE HAS TO INFLATE THE TIRES THE MORE LIKELY THE TPMS SENSOR-VALUES WILL BREAK. *TR
