Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE LOW PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I ATTEMPTED TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO CHECK MY TIRE BUT THE TIRE WENT FLAT TOO QUICKLY. I HAD TO CHANGE THE TIRE ON THE ROAD. THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING DEVICE HAD FAILED AND FALLEN INSIDE THE TIRE RESULTING IN A RAPID PRESSURE DROP. CORROSION HAD CAUSED THE NUT TO BREAK APART AND FALL OFF. WITHIN 6 MONTHS THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A DIFFERENT TIRE. DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO WATCH MY TIRE RAPIDLY GOING FLAT - ALL WITHIN ABOUT 20 SECONDS. I CHANGED MY TIRE ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON A MULTI-LANE THRUWAY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD - THE MANDATED SAFETY DEVICE IS THE CAUSE OF THE HAZARD. *TR
