| Tire Pressure Monitoring System problems |
Tpms failures. 3 out of have failed so far. The first occured when I filled the the tire with air. The valve stem had broken off . The second and third have appeared before doing front brakes this past weekend. Both valve stems are about to fail. They have multiple cracks and need replacing.
Failure of aluminum valve stems on tpms sensors resulting in rapid loss of tire pressure. Can result from simple service to add air to tires or during highway use resulting in loss of control similiar to a blowout.
