“As I was driving my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee on a highway at approx 70 MPH my left rear tire instantly went flat immediately following a low tire pressure indicator. When I stopped my car to check the flat I noticed that the tire valve (tire pressure monitor wheel sensor) was gone. When I changed the tire I realized the pressure sensor fell into the wheel because the threaded nut that holds the sensor in place failed and broke in two causing the tire to loose all its air at once. …”
NHTSA complaint #10460216, filed 2012-06, 50,100 miles“I was driving on the garden state parkway north traveling approximately 65mph (the speed limit) and I was in the left lane of the three lane local lanes. I drifted too far to the left and hit the rumble strips on the side of the road. Immediately, my TPMS light came on and I pulled over right away. Apparently, my TPMS sensor on the tire broke and was letting air out of my tire. What happened was, the metal screw that is around the metal valve stem sheered off and nothing was holding the valve stem/TPMS in place except for the air pressure inside the tire. …”

NHTSA complaint #10713498, filed 2015-04, 51,000 miles“Front tires separated at the inner section of tire. The grooved section of tire separated from sidewall causing an instant blowout and loss of steering control. Passenger tire failed completely. Driver side has same wear and separation but did not fail at this point.”
NHTSA complaint #10427491, filed 2011-09, 13,685 miles“I was writing to you to complain about TPMS sensors that are required on vehicles these days. As a fast lube operator, we are experiencing more and more TPMS sensors breaking apart when just trying to get the cap off to air up a customers tire. We have also had instances where the sensor broke as soon as we put the air chuck on the valve stem to air up the tire. As you can imagine, when this happens, the customer expects us to pay for the replacement of the sensor because it wasn't broken when they got there. Something needs to change. …”
