| Description of the problem | I currently drive a 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo, and i have been having trouble with the tpms tire valve stem spontaneously breaking causing rapid deflation. So far two have broken, but fortunately the car was not moving on both occasions. It appears the valves broke due to corrosion. My concern is that this may occur at a high rate of speed, causing a loss of control. |
