Consumer Description

WHEN I WENT TO GO REMOVE THE VALVE STEM CAP TO CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE, THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF WITH THE VALVE CAP REVEALING THE VALVE CORE. THE TIRE WAS DEFLATED WITHIN SECONDS. FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE VALVE STEM SHOWED THAT IT WAS CORRODED. THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF EXACTLY AT THE POINT WHERE THE CAP WAS SCREWED TO. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT COVER THE COST FOR REPAIRS AS MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. THE COST FOR REPAIRS CAME FROM MY POCKET. *TR
