Impala 3.4L

A copy of a letter that I received from Discount Tires in 2008. Hopefully, this will help someone with tire problems. As we all know by now, Chevy Impalas have a ridiculous amount of RECALLS so we have to look out for one another in order to resolve these problems.

Important Customer Safety Advisory:
Discount Tire has determined that certain rubber valve stems supplied by Dill Air Controls (Dill), an industry leading supplier of valve stems for tires, are cracking prematurely. A valve stem is the black rubber piece that sticks out on each wheel where you inflate the tire. Valve stem cracking may cause a tire to progressively lose air and the rate of air loss is hard to predict. Driving on under inflated or flat tires could damage your tires, which potentially could lead to tire failure, a loss of control, and a vehicle crash. Discount Tire has received a few reports of accidents, including one fatality, allegedly caused by a cracked valve stem, and we are actively investigating these accidents. PLEASE schedule an appointment as soon as possible for a FREE valve stem replacement service by visiting www.DTCcares.com or if you do not have internet access, call our hotline toll-free at 1-888-356-0262. If you already have paid someone to replace your valve stems, please obtain a reimbursement form by visiting www.DTCcares.com or by calling toll-free 1-888-356-0262.

I have a slow leak in one of my tires. I can feel the way the car handles when it gets to the point where I need to fill it. AFTER I FILL THE TIRE my idiot light comes on.
