For the second time in a year the air valve on one of the tire pressure sensors on our Mazda corroded and snapped off as I was putting air in the tire. I'm very grateful this happened while the car was in our driveway and not while my wife or daughter was driving the car.

Tire valve stem/tpms sensor broke while adding air to a customer's tire.

In one month I have had to replace 2 tire pressure sensors. When I asked about why these are going out they told me that there have been a lot of issues with the ones on my car, which is why Mazda has since changed to a different sensor. The first one was a slow leak and I would have to fill it every few days,which although a huge pain, made it to where I could wait to bring it in when I had time to be car less for a few hours. The most recent one happened two days ago. I got home from one job at11 pm. The tire pressure light came on my drive home and I was thinking I was having problems again with the first one. I woke up at 7am to go to my other job and as I was driving there my car was very jerky so I pulled over at the gas station right by my house to check on my tire and it was completely flat . I went from close to full pressure to 0 in 8hours. This is very dangerous and a huge safety issue! if I had been out farther in the country or on a long car ride or if I hadn't noticed it was not steering correctly, this could have easily caused an accident. If I was pretty much told that the part was faulty at the dealership and it was known to leak then this should be recalled before someone gets hurt or worse.

While driving at 55 mph, the low pressure warning light came on. I attempted to get to a safe place to check my tire but the tire went flat too quickly. I had to change the tire on the road. The tire pressure monitoring device had failed and fallen inside the tire resulting in a rapid pressure drop. Corrosion had caused the nut to break apart and fall off. Within 6 months the same thing happened on a different tire. Driving at 55 mph, the warning light came on and I immediately pulled over to watch my tire rapidly going flat - all within about 20 seconds. I changed my tire on a very busy highway. I was lucky that this did not happen on a multi-lane thruway. This is a very serious safety hazard - the mandated safety device is the cause of the hazard.

Tpms valve broke when checking air pressure in the tire. Tire went flat and tpms had to be replaced.
