| Description of the problem | Noticed low tire pressure while driving. Drove about 10 mile with indication. Parked in drive way. When i unscrewed the valve stem cab the valve stem went almost completely into the tire. The tire went flat immediately. I found that the locking nut was corroded and almost completely gone. I had the tire repaired and was told that the sensor had to be replaced because the sensor and locking nut are all one unit at a cost of 70. 00. Yesterday i check the pressure in all 4 tires and found the locking nut on the front tire broken missing about 1/3 of the metal. |
