Consumer Description
TPMS VALVE STEM FAILED CAUSING A FLAT TIRE. THE TIRE VALVE ITSELF COMPLETELY CAME APART WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, BUT SO WHAT , IT WAS CAUSED BY ITS OWN FLAWED DESIGN. UPON INSPECTION OF THE OTHER TIRE VALVES, IT IS DISCOVERED THAT THEY ARE ALL CRACKED AND READY TO FAIL AS WELL AND NEED EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.. A "SAFETY SYSTEM" THAT IS POORLY CONSTRUCTED, DANGEROUS, AND REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE INSTALLED IN VEHICLES. A RECALL MUST BE MANDATED. *TR
