Consumer Description

2 VALVE STEMS FROM THE TPMS SENSORS ARE LEAKING AIR. THAT PROVOKED AN INSTANT LOSS OF TOTAL AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES !!!! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT SEEMS MAZDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN SB-02-001-12 BUT NOT A RECALL AT THIS TIME (MARCH 4 2015) FROM 4 TPMS SENSORS ON THE 2009 MAZDA 6, TWO (2) OF THEM FAILED ONE DAY AFTER ANOTHER. BOTH SENSORS FAILED AT THE VALVE STEM. HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 SENSORS DUE TO BEING AFRAID THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE COULD HAPPENED AT 60 MILES/H ON THE INTERSTATE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TPMS SENSORS IS CONTINENTAL AND THEY ALREADY HAVE A DIFFERENT PART # FOR THE SENSOR (CONTINENTAL VDI REDI-SENSOR SE10001HP-AZ). ALSO MAZDA HAS A DIFFERENT PART # FOR THE NEW SENSORS: BBM2-37-140B. I WAS SURPRISED HOW MAZDA DIDN'T ISSUE A RECALL BY NOW. I'VE SEEN PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ON ONLINE FORUMS OR WEBSITES SPECIALIZED IN CAR ISSUES. *TR
