Description of the problem	on july 31, 2014 i was driving 65mph when rear passenger tpms sensor gave way causing tire to lose pressure quickly. The back end of the vehicle kicked sideways and then became hard to steer. Rear tire was shredded and tire sensor in pieces. Replaced all four tires twice since buying the vehicle in 2011 due to tpms indicator light on. First time, on nov. 7, 2011 replaced all four tires. Tpms light continually came on and had to be reset by tire shop. Tires cupped so bad we had to replace all four again. Second time, on oct. 7, 2013 replaced all four tires and two sensors from previous flat tires. In 2012 and again in 2013, a tpms gave way causing the tire to lose air quickly. Both times i was told by the tire shop it was an original sensor that caused the tire to go flat. Once again the tpms light came on and was continually checked and reset by tire shop. This is the third time an original sensor has caused a flat tire on this vehicle and the third sensor to be replaced. Once again, the tpms light is on and the tires are cupping.
