On XXX, while traveling from [XXX] to [XXX] with my [XXX] son in the vehicle, all four tire valve stems failed during a single interstate journey.  The first failure occurred on the front-left tire, causing nearly instantaneous tire deflation. After an emergency repair, I continued driving, but the remaining three valve stems subsequently failed in succession.  Each failure created a potentially dangerous situation involving sudden tire-pressure loss.  A tire technician observed significant cracking and deterioration of the rubber valve stems. The remaining stems were reportedly so deteriorated that touching them could cause air leakage.  Four brand-new tires had been installed by Audi Bethesda in [XXX] in XXX. The technician suggested that the valve stems appeared substantially older than the tires and might not have been replaced during that installation. I retained one of the failed valve stems, which has visible cracking at its base.  I am particularly concerned that four separate valve stems failed during the same trip, repeatedly exposing my family, including my [XXX] child, to potentially catastrophic tire failures.  I request that NHTSA document this incident and assess whether it indicates a broader vehicle equipment or tire valve stem safety concern.  I can provide additional photographs of the failed component, repair documentation, and service records.
