June 2010 CrashInjury

My vehicle has had multiple tire pressure sensor issues. All 4 have been replaced once and two have been replaced twice in the course of 9 months. One time the sensor became loose and began clunking around inside the rim. It was only an expensive annoyance until yesterday. While driving at 65 to 70 MPH on a 4 lane interstate highway, the tire pressure sensor broke off. At that time it began to spin around within the wheel well/rim.
