My nissan versa's front left passenger tire was losing air every few days. When I took it to an auto shop nearby, they found that the aluminum valve stem has cracked and that's what is causing the leak. This faulty valve stem could have lead to tire failure and potentially serious accident. Please advise how to go about addressing this issue.

The tire pressure sensor system in the nissan versa appears to have a systemic fault of constant leaking. I live in wisconsin (salt in winter) and I am now forced to replace the tire pressure sensor system for the second time at a cost of $180 per tire. It appears to wear out every 2 years, leading to leaking of the tire, causing an unsafe situation.

Repeated flat tires due to air leaks which resulted in finally discovering the tire pressure monitoring valves on 3 of 4 tires were faulty. These valves were $150 each which is more than the tires cost! When took in for repairs, was told that the valves are made of metal which is prone to rust especially where they are located in the tire wells. Appears to be faulty engineering. Claim by repair personnel that a valve less likely to rust would be best but no valve available that will also meet nissan requirements to provide tire sensor information back to the computer signal. Was told that if the sensors were not replaced could have unexpected flats or be dangerous to drive. I drive over 60 miles a day for work so safety is a concern. There needs to be an investigation about need for recall.

The low tire pressure light came on and when I checked I found a tire that was down 15lbs. I dropped it off at the dealer who said the TPMS unit was cracked and needed to be replaced for $218. The tire only has 8,000 miles on it. Will I have to replace the other three sensors?

2009 nissan versa. The TPMS "tire pressure monitoring system" the valve stems on all four tires was either cracked and / or defective, two were leaking air so badly I had to fill them back up with air every day> I thought I had driven over some nails that made them leak air. When I went to get them checked, I was shocked to find out it was the valve stems that was causing the problem. I had to replace them with rubber valve stems. Dealership was closed and going to call them about it. But don't think they are covered. Just glad I didn't have a blow out or sudden lose of air that could have caused me to wreck. This doesn't seem to be an isolated problem and the dealer should have a recall on faulty equipment.
