Wheel problem

I have a 2010 Suzuki Sx4 and have had 2 failures of the tire pressure system monitors in less than 2 months. Both tpsm valves have fractures/cracks leading down the threading of the valve allowing air to leak. The first failure was in Dec 2011 and resulted in a flat while parked in a garage. The second failure was found when I noticed the front right tire was at 15 psi. Once again the tpsm valve was cracked length wise. There is definitely a problem it appears in the manufacturing of these valves by schrader electronics. Info on the tpsm valve: part 43130-54j2 fcc 2546a-suz3ma4 schrader electronics barcode: *09754328* and *09754116* I'm having problems getting this issue resolved by the dealership on a vehicle that is only 1 year 4 months old and I have extensive platinum warranty. This is a huge safety issue for me and my family. A sudden failure by the remaining valves could lead to serious injuries or death as was the case in 2008 tpsm valve failures. This needs to be seriously looked into closely. Note: I have had the two faulty valves removed and replaced with rubber valves in the meantime.
