| Description of the problem | When getting off the highways down ramp at 40 mph the tire valve broke off the tire and went flat instantly. This also happen on my dodge ram 2009 last year so this issue is dangerous. I was lucky because on both vehicles it was the back tire. Someone could loose control if it was the front tire. The nuts that hold the tire valve in corrode very quickly and break off. |
