2010 Mazda Mazda6 Tires & Wheels Problems

WITHIN 17 HOURS OF EACH OCCURRENCE, TWO TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SENSORS) HAD BROKEN FROM CORROSION CAUSING A SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR IN THE TIRE, RESULTING IN A FLAT TIRE AND DANGEROUS HIGHWAY DRIVING SITUATION. BOTH TIRES HAD ADEQUATE AIR BEFORE THE INCIDENTS THAT HAD JUST BEEN CHECKED BEFORE THE TRIP. THE REMAINING TWO TPMS WERE ALSO BADLY CORRODED WHEN INSPECTED AND WERE REPLACED.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. ITS A 2010. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHY I WAS HEARING NOISES WHEN I DRIVE AND WAS ADVISED THE WHEEL BEARINGS WHERE LOOSE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? THIS VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD. PER MY RESEACH, THESE THINGS AT SUPPOSED TO LOSE FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. ITS ONLY BEEN 5 YEARS. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

WHILE SERVICING A CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE, THE VALVE STEM BROKE. THIS RESULTED IN TIRE DEFLATION AND THE NEED TO REPAIR THE TPMS SENSOR AT A COST OF $73.40. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN A MINUTE THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. AFTER INSPECTED BY A TIRE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TPMS CORRODED AND THE NUT CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THE TPMS FELL INTO THE TIRE CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE FLAT TIRE. WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE DEFECTIVE TPMS AND MAZDA DOES NOT HAVE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART. THE PART WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW RUBBER TPMS.[ORIGINAL MADE OF METAL] THIS IS AN OBVIOUS CONCERN IF MAZDA IS NOW REPLACING THE PART WITH A NEW MATERIAL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS A MAJOR ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. LUCKILY, THE INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. NOW THERE IS A CONCERN FOR THE OTHER THREE TPMS WHICH ARE ALSO CORRODED AND THE SAME ISSUE CAN HAPPEN. MAZDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL SINCE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY INFANT AND TODDLER UNTIL ALL TPMS ARE REPLACED WITH THE NEW TPMS DESIGN. *TR

TPMS VALVE BROKE WHEN CHECKING AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE. TIRE WENT FLAT AND TPMS HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT 20 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE SPLIT. THE TIRES WERE EXAMINED 3,000 MILES AGO AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DOT NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,000.
