Altima

  • 33,000 miles
The tire pressure sensors (tire valves) have failed 4 times in 33,000 miles on my 2009 Nissan Altima. The material used to construct the vale corrodes and then fractures easily during snow tire removal process. This causes the valve to leak resulting in flat tires. So far replaced under warranty but will cost upwards of $110 each after warranty expires not to mention aaa calls & inconvenience.
