NHTSA Complaint #10652501 — 2009 LAND ROVER LR2

WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 LAND ROVER LR2 ON THE HIGHWAY, MY TIRE BLEW OUT. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM - THAT CAME WITH THE CAR, INSTALLED BY LAND ROVER - HAD CORRODED AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO COLLAPSE. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY TIRE WENT FROM FULL TO EMPTY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I REPLACED THE TIRE AND TPMS. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE AGAIN DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT. UPON INVESTIGATION, ALL THREE REMAINING LAND ROVER TPMS HAD CORRODED AND WHILE ONE HAD COLLAPSED, THE OTHER TWO WERE VULNERABLE. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS, DANGEROUS ISSUE. LAND ROVER SHOULD BE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, PROTECTING ITS' DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS, AND ISSUING A RECALL. *TR
