    My TPMS light was on, so I went to my friendly mechanic and had him replace a bad TPMS in one of my tires. This is what he found in the tire.

    The sensor case was smooth like it had tumbled around in there a while.

    Must have been run so low that the TPMS sensor got knocked off the valve stem?

    What is wrong with this picture ??
    Maybe you should find a "real" dealer that is able to service what he sells.
    Or.....maybe Todd should have arranged to fix it BEFORE you gave him any money.
    Now who is going to pay for replacing the damaged tire ???
