Wonder if Fix-A-Flat (and similar products) have put a clear warning label on their cans?? Seems like a widespread problem now.

I'm glad I have an '07 which is before law required TPMS's. I know how to check my own pressure.

It's not fix-a-flat's problem. They were around before the sensors were. It's the car companies problem and they are the ones who need to make their buyer's aware of the problem.

You have a point. Automakers should develop sensors that resist the corrosive nature of these inflaters. They shouldn't go out of business because of this.

Still, it's easier enough to put a warning label in the mean time because the general public clearly doesn't know that they could be facing a pesky repair.

The government mandated that it be a standard safety feature starting with all 2008 models.
