Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO A PARKING LOT AND PROCEEDED TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRE USING AN AIR PUMP. AFTER FILLING THE TIRE WITH AIR AND ATTEMPTING TO DISLODGE THE AIR PUMP HOSE. THE END OF THE TIRE STEM BROKE OFF INSIDE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE CAUSING THE TIRE TO DEFLATE COMPLETELY. I NOTICED THAT THE TIRE STEM LOOKED CORRODED, AND I IMMEDIATELY GOOGLED THE PROBLEM WITH THIS TIRE STEM AND LEARNED THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WHERE THE TIRE STEMS ON THE VEHICLE CORRODE (WHICH MINE DID EXACTLY) AND THEN BREAK OFF WHILE MOST ARE DRIVING. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM THE VEHICLE ANTIFREEZE RESERVOIR'S CRACK CAUSING THE ANTIFREEZE TO LEAK OUT ON A CONSTANT BASIS. THIS TOO IS A ITEM WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG AGO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION INTO THESE REPORTED BY UN-NOTED DEFECTS IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR
