 The rear driver side tire valve core was coming out (almost completely). it was sticking out so far that i was unable to screw tire valve cap on completely. by screwing the valve cap tightly would actually cause the valve core to be pushed in which would allow the air to escape from the tire. i have been told that this is a common problem with the tire valves which have the tire pressure sensor attached to them. *tr
