What owners wrote
2008 mazda3 was traveling westbound on the ohio turnpike. Unit 1 had a tire blowout causing unit 1 to lose control and strike the media barrier. (ohio traffic crash report # 10-0166-91) updated 05/11/11* bf
I got a flat tire yesterday because my tire pressure sensor valve had fallen inside my tire. This is the second time that this has happened since I purchased the vehicle in 2008. Thankfully, I was stuck in rush hour traffic and only going 20 MPH. I realized my tire was flat when the senor light went off and my car veered to the left and fortunately it was the emergency lane or I would have hit a car.
