AUTO ZONE aluminum valve cap creates huge problem AURORA, Illinois
*Consumer Comment: Common
*Consumer Suggestion: AutoZone
A decorative aluminum valve cap became fused onto the brass stem. I managed to remove two by force and snapped the third off. Naturally a new valve stem had to be installed. When I explained this faulty item to Autozone they offered no recourse. An email to corporate got no response whatsoever. I now have one wheel that I cannot check the tire pressure until this is resolved.
I have suggested to all automotive retailers that they need to remove this item from their shelves because of my experience. None will listen. Profit is king my friends, greed is the norm.

This is common with all aluminum valve caps... no matter where you buy them. They have a tenancy to get stuck. I've seen it a lot of times, had them stuck on my vehicles also. My advice would be not to go with aluminum or put anti-seize on the threads.

Are you sure it wasn't vandalism? If it was a widespread problem AutoZone would have pulled the product from its shelves. I suggest you contact the manufacturer listed on the package. They may have more info.
