Pontiac Torrent Structure Body Safety Report | Oct 11, 2011
Reported on Oct 11, 2011
| WITHIN 1 MONTH OF EACH OTHER 2 VALVE STEMS BROKE. TIRE WENT FROM BEING RIGHT ON TIRE PRESSURE TO NO TIRE PRESSURE IN SECONDS. VALVE STEM BROKE ONCE BY REMOVING VALVE STEM CAP AND THE OTHER ONE REMOVING TIRE PUMP NOZZLE. BOTH TIMES TIRES WENT COMPLETELY FLAT IN SECONDS. DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME ABOUT $325 TO REPLACE THESE TIRE STEMS. THIS LEAVES ME WITH 2 MORE IN QUESTION. MY FAMILY RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ME A LOT. NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT SIMILAR INCIDENTS AND CONCERNS. THE DEALERSHIP ACTUALLY SUGGESTED THESE PROBABLY GOT BROKE AT A CAR WASH. THEY BOTH BROKE IN FRONT OF MY FACE TRYING TO ADD AIR. SOMEONE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF THESE TIRES. *TR | |
