The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the driver side tire became low on air. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who noticed that the valve stem sensor was defective and had it replaced. Twenty minutes later the tire sensor warning illuminated and the rear passenger tire was also low and the stem valve had to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 32,979.

Continued excessive tire wear possible cause vehicle weight and alignment problem. I am on my third set of tires in 30,000 miles and the tires that are now on the car are wearing poorly after less then 5,000 miles. Toyota is refusing to help me with this problem any further then they have. The car wonders in slightly windy conditions and freeway driving which fells unsafe. Toyota has had to replace the computer and do a valve job due to the loss of power I experienced, which could have been a very dangerous situation.
