Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I want to inform you, that there may be a defect in the first generation TPMS valve adapters used in the 2009 vw Rabbit, and other similar vehicles. In cold weather, part of these valves can become brittle and snap. This is due to the fact that the aluminum used in these valve stems corrodes over a short period of time, causing the valve itself to weaken. Over time, this has the potential to cause a situation that may eventually cause all the air to escape the tire suddenly - something this system is designed to prevent. …”
