| Description of the problem | The metal valve stem of the tire pressure monitoring system corrodes where it passes through the wheel and results in unexpected sudden loss of tire pressure. Amber tpms warning light comes on and vehicle is immediately difficult to control/steer. Once vehicle is stopped, air can be heard and felt escaping from valve stem area on wheel and one can watch the tire continue to deflate. This has happened twice on my vehicle at highway speeds: 01-2009 at 111,000 and 05-2013 at 219,000. |
