The end of the tire stem broke off when I was refilling the tires. This prevented the tires from staying filled and I was nervous about driving the vehicle until I could get it to a shop to be repaired. We replaced all the stems, but replacing the sensors was too expensive. If this damage had occurred while driving, a sudden flat tire could have been very dangerous. Never thought to take pictures for a report until after we had already replaced the valves.

On saturday, september 28, 2019 I was driving on u.s. 36 from danville, in to avon, in. Near the intersection of 550 e my front passenger tire flew off my car while I was going 55 m.p.h. Luckily I was in the slow lane and was able to pull off the road and no one was hurt. The reason I am writing is because all 5 studs are missing from the wheel hub. There is no metal remaining and no signs of shearing. I dont know if this is a recall or if not, maybe it should be.

I bought a vehicle 3 days ago. I complained about the tires sounding like it was wobbling. I told the owner and other employees that it sounded like something was wrong. They said that they did not hear it but had the tires balanced and the rotors turned. I ran my kids to basketball practice and later on that night the tire sounds got worse and we're much louder. I was driving home and just turned into my neighborhood and my front driver side tire flew off. The tire and rim we're traveling through a yard at 30+ MPH. I slammed to the ground and stopped the vehicle. It was terrifiyng. The flying tire and rim would have fatally injured someone if this was in the daytime hours.

Low tire pressure alarm initiated at interstate highway speed, roughly 70mph straight line travel. Pulled over and discovered the metal valve stem had cracked just below the plastic cap and had leaked about 6-8psi out of 36. Contact with the tip caused it to crack off completely causing rapid deflation of the drivers side rear tire. Would have caused significant damage possible accident if vehicle had still been moving or if response to tire pressure warning was delayed. High hazard failure. This is the second valve stem failure for this vehicle, but the first was a corrosion leak around the base which was much slower.

Valve stem was cracked, and tire was slowly losing inflation. Thought it was a nail and drove it for a couple of days before my appt. To get it looked at. Was told that this is a major manufacturing problem with this vehicle. Lucky I was not on the road when it totally broke and deflated the tire on the spot. Fixed the one and was told I should replace them all. Very costly repair. Now my warning will not go away and was told this too is a problem. So I will always have the warning even though it is all working okay.

On two separate dates this summer while traveling at speeds between 50 & 60 MPH I had tire pressure sensors brake causing the tires to go flat. Fortunately I was able to bring the car to a safe stop but in both cases I had to purchase new tires because the tires which were relatively new could no longer be used. I am most concerned about the safety issue as I was told by the tire dealer that tps failure is quite common. Not only could the tire going flat cause an accident but on one of the failures I was put in a very dangerous position to change the tire.

This is the 2nd time I have had a tire pressure sensor beak inside tire causing the tire to go flat as well as having a fire on the inside due to the friction. (last time was in 2014). I did keep the tire with burn spots as well as the tire sensor from firestone. I was lucky that I was on an off ramp when this happens one not going 70 MPH on the thru way (i75). Last time my dealer (chrysler jeep dodge in brandon fl) did replace a sensor as well as the tire. (october, 2014 / a week after purchasing this car). Many mechanics state they never seen this problem; however, I have experienced this twice.

I have had 2 flat tires from the tire pressure sensor, due to cracked and split collars that have deteriorated. The collar was missing and chrysler denied any problems. I have replaced all 4 sensors and have retained 3 of them.. The collars could not be saved as they deteriorated upon removal. The remaining two were replaced today as the collars were splitting and soon would break off and possible cause an accident. The two flats occurred in my driveway, and I drove to have the last two replaced.
