Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AT OUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE WE STOPPED AT A SERVICE STATION TO CHECK THE TIRES. I CHECKED AND/OR ADDED AIR TO 3 OF THE TIRES, WHEN I WENT TO REMOVE THE VALVE STEM CAP ON THE 4TH TIRE, THE END OF THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF IN MY HAND. THANKFULLY THE BREAK OCCURRED ON THE OUTER PORTION OF THE STEM SO THE NEEDLE VALVE IS STILL IN PLACE AND THE TIRE STILL HOLDS AIR. HOWEVER I'M NO LONGER ABLE TO CHECK OR ADD AIR TO THIS TIRE. THE METAL ON THE VALVE STEM APPEARED TO BE VERY CORRODED. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS ON A VAN THAT IS PARKED IN A GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME AND NOT EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AS MUCH AS MOST OTHER VEHICLES. *TR
