| Tire pressure sensor failed while traveling down highway, when finally able to pull over tire was completely flat and ruined, valve stem fell apart in hand while trying to remove valve stem cap, this is the 3rd occurrence while owning this vehicle, very lucky this time that it was a back tire and not a front. each time that i have complained to dealership, i am told that the tire shops that are replacing my tires don't know what they are doing of which i disagree. i have seen many forums regarding this issue with mazda 3's and 6's, each time being told the tire shops don't know what they are doing. mazda needs to step up and acknowledge a poor design, come up with a better one and recall these bad tire sensor valves before someone is seriously injured or killed. *tr | |||

| Dear sir i have recently bought a new mazda 6 car fitted with dunlop tires sp2050 .while i was driving on the high way the right front tire blew out and causes a hole between the tier wring and the surface that touch the road. although the car was moving about 80 kmph. my family and myself life was exposed to danger when this incident was happened. the car is brand new it was made only 16,400km. when i went to claim for tier replacement but both mazda and dunlop agents denied responsibility that this is a defective tier. *tr | |||

| While driving at 55 mph, the low pressure warning light came on. i attempted to get to a safe place to check my tire but the tire went flat too quickly. i had to change the tire on the road. the tire pressure monitoring device had failed and fallen inside the tire resulting in a rapid pressure drop. corrosion had caused the nut to break apart and fall off. within 6 months the same thing happened on a different tire. driving at 55 mph, the warning light came on and i immediately pulled over to watch my tire rapidly going flat - all within about 20 seconds. i changed my tire on a very busy highway. i was lucky that this did not happen on a multi-lane thruway. this is a very serious safety hazard - the mandated safety device is the cause of the hazard. *tr | |||

| When i went to go remove the valve stem cap to check the air pressure, the valve stem broke off with the valve cap revealing the valve core. the tire was deflated within seconds. further inspection of the valve stem showed that it was corroded. the valve stem broke off exactly at the point where the cap was screwed to. the dealership did not cover the cost for repairs as my car is not under warranty anymore. the cost for repairs came from my pocket. *tr | |||
