This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While coming to a stop in a parking lot the tire valve stem blew off, completely deflating the tire. Six weeks later the same thing occurred to another wheel. It appears that valve stem corroded just below the cap. The pressure inside the tire then blew out the schroeder valve resulting in a quick deflate of the tire. If this had happened at highway speed it could have resulted in loss of steering and possible accident or personal injury. Both tire valve stems have been replaced, but now wondering if the remaining two need to be replaced. Such a design of this product is a potential fatal accident waiting to happen.
