Free Standing 30' Range Gas Knobs Will Not Turn Gas Off Burners .

knobs on stove will not turn.  I pushed them in and tried to turn them and they would not turn. Turned one with pliers and the brass stem broke.  Had to shut off gas at the shutoff valve at the wall.  Appears to have bad valves on all the burners.  Some allow just enough gas that it does not stay lit.  A bad safety issue.
