Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Front driver side tire rapidly deflated causing the vehicle to pull right into on coming traffic. The near miss could have been fatal. Upon investigation it was determined that the cause was corrosion of the TPMS valve. I did a quick internet investigation and learned that the corrosion and resulting tire failure are common incidents. Why haven't these faulty TPMS valves been recalled? This issue will surely result in deaths which I believe is the opposite of what these TPMS sensors are for.”
NHTSA complaint #10557312, filed 2013-12, 39,100 miles“While driving at a speed of 50 MPH on a rural road, the front driver-side tire instantly deflated. Fortunately, the vehicle was safely pulled over away from traffic. Upon examination it was found that the valve stem had broken off, and the tire had deflated as a result. The rest of the tire was in good condition. In this type of vehicle, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is part of the valve stem, and that is what had broken off. A second similar incident happened approximately 6 months later with the rear driver-side tire of the vehicle, while traveling at 55 MPH.”
NHTSA complaint #10705780, filed 2015-04, 70,000 miles“The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Routan. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH the left rear tire sensor that was located inside the tire came loose causing the tire to become flat. The vehicle was taken to a tire shop where they installed the spare tire and informed him of the loose sensor within the tire. The dealer nor manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,300.”
