Consumer Description

MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON, SO I PULLED INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE THAT HAS A COMBINATION INFLATION-PRESSURE CHECK MACHINE. I CHECKED ONE TIRE & HAD NO ISSUE. I CHECKED/FILLED THE NEXT TIRE & DIDN'T NOTICE AN ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. I WENT ON TO THE 3RD TIRE, AND HEARD A POP, THEN A HISS. ALL AIR WAS LEAVING THE TIRE. I THEN NOTICED THE SECOND TIRE WAS DOING THE SAME THING. ACCORDING TO THE TIRE STORE, IT WAS THE VALVE STEM PRESSURE SENSORS. THE TIRE STORE KEEPS THE PARTS ON HAND BECAUSE THEY ARE "SEEING A LOT" OF THIS WITH THE MAZDA 3S, THAT IT'S A "DESIGN FLAW" THAT HAS SINCE BEEN RECTIFIED ON NEWER MODELS. IF I HAD ONLY FILLED ONE TIRE & HADN'T NOTICED THE DEFLATION, AND THEN GOTTEN ON THE HIGHWAY, I COULD'VE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH MY SON IN THE CAR. THIS ANGERS ME: IF IT'S SO COMMON OF A PROBLEM, AND IT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?? *TR
