Tire Pressure sensor blew up...

AltecBX · 06-27-2008, 03:51 AM

My TPMS blew up in my front tire.

Took it to the local tire shop, and the whole thing was in pieces in the tire. Sensor, battery, and plastic all over the place.

How could that have happened?
How can I disable the TPMS for now?
How can I get it replaced under warranty?

Are you running OEM wheels and tires still?

Whoa that's crazy!! If they're OEM tires & wheels I would take them to the dealer and have them replaced.

I have csl wheels on it. The dealer just told me that they won't cover it.
