While checking the air pressure in a customer's car the valve stem broke causing all air to escape from the tire and necessitating the purchase of a new TPMS sensor.

For the second time in a year the air valve on one of the tire pressure sensors on our Mazda corroded and snapped off as I was putting air in the tire. I'm very grateful this happened while the car was in our driveway and not while my wife or daughter was driving the car.

problem #2

MAZDA6 4-cyl

  • 55,000 miles
While driving at 55 mph, the low pressure warning light came on. I attempted to get to a safe place to check my tire but the tire went flat too quickly. I had to change the tire on the road. The tire pressure monitoring device had failed and fallen inside the tire resulting in a rapid pressure drop. Corrosion had caused the nut to break apart and fall off. Within 6 months the same thing happened on a different tire. Driving at 55 mph, the warning light came on and I immediately pulled over to watch my tire rapidly going flat - all within about 20 seconds. I changed my tire on a very busy highway. I was lucky that this did not happen on a multi-lane thruway. This is a very serious safety hazard - the mandated safety device is the cause of the hazard.
