Consumer Description

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, SO I CHECKED THE PRESSURE OF EACH TIRE. ONE WAS LOW, SO I ASKED MY MECHANIC TO FIX IT. HE FOUND THE LEAK WAS A CRACKED VALVE STEM ASSEMBLY, ALLOWING AIR TO ESCAPE ALONG THE VALVE STEM. FORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T DAMAGE THE NEW TIRE, BUT STILL COST $150 TO FIX AND I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THE MAZDA3. FOR ME, THE SAFETY ISSUE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING THIS CAR ON A TRIP, SEES THE WARNING LIGHT COME ON, AND HAS TO FIND HELP TO FIX IT OR TO CHANGE THE TIRE FOR THE SPARE, OR THE LEAK BECOMES FAST ENOUGH TO GIVE HER A FLAT TIRE. *TR
