Chevrolet Impala Tires Pressure Monitoring And Regulating Systems Safety Report | Aug 24, 2011
Reported on Aug 24, 2011
| I AM THE OWNER OF 3 QUICK LUBE CENTERS AND SERVICE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES PER MONTH. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE STEMS ON THE NEWER TIRES WITH THE TPMS. THE METAL USED IS SUBSTANDARD, THEY BREAK VERY EASILY. I HAVE SEEN THEM BREAK BY TAKING OFF THE METAL CAP COVERING THE VALVE STEM. I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR CLOSE TO ONE HUNDRED OF THESE BECAUSE OF THE SUBSTANDARD METAL BEING USED. THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE, I HOPE YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS. YOU ASKED TO IDENTIFY A SPCIFIC MAKE AND MODEL AND I CHOSE A 2010 CHEVY IMPALA, BUT MANY MANUFACTURES USE THESE VALVE STEMS *TT | |
