2009 MAZDA MAZDA5 Tiresvalve Problems

MY HUSBAND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2009 MAZDA5 AND IN FEBRUARY 10TH 2011, AS I WAS DRIVING MY TIRE LOST ALL AIR, THE VALVE HAD SNAPPED IN HALF. THE DEALER SAID I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING BUT I KNOW I DIDN'T, I WOULD HAVE FELT SOMETHING IF IT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK THE VALVE, PLUS THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CLOSE ENOUGH TO HIT THE CAR. THEY MADE ME PAY $150 TO REPLACE IT. IN MAY 29TH I WAS PUMPING AIR AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON A DIFFERENT TIRE. AT THIS TIME I HAD 37,200 MILES. I CALLED MAZDA AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT WASN'T COVERED. I GOOGLE IT AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME AND I EVEN SAW SOME REPORTS OF MAZDA KNOWING ABOUT FAULTY VALVES. I HAD ANOTHER ONE BREAK ON...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA MAZDA 5. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ADD AIR TO THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE THE ALUMINUM VALVE STEM END BROKE DUE TO CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS REPLACED THE VALVE STEM. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.
