Tire Pressure Monitoring System Problems in popular cars
Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem is a common vehicle problem that happens to most car brands and models. The following is a sample list of Tire Pressure Monitoring System problems reported in most popular vehicles.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of Chevrolet Impala
The car is a 2009 Chevrolet Impala. After getting new brakes put on my car, the low tire pressure light would come on for different tires. It was random and after checking the tire pressure they were all fine. The light is on all the time and when I check my tire pressure on the dash panel they all four read 0 tire pressure. I have to check them manually which sounds petty but I paid for this option I should be able to use it. My remote car starter doesn't work because this error message is on. I've had it reset and it comes right back on. I wad told the wheel sensors were broke when getting the brakes fixed and that they cost around $100 each. There has to be some way to make these so they don't get broken while getting normal maintenance done so I now have a huge additional cost that far exceeds the cost of getting the brakes. This tire pressure monitoring system issue occurred Fri., Jul. 19, 2013.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of Infiniti EX35
The car was a 2008 Infiniti Ex35. My car has 4 michelin latitude tour hp tire size p225/60r17 and tin code dot edxhn2wx4907. I had one tire replaced because it developed air loss with time. My infinity Ex35 had the light for tire pressure loss on . After this incident we re-pressurized the tire with the car?s placard specifications. Two (2) months later the light for pressure of the tire turned on again. We pressurized the tire again. Then after a week the light turned on again. We pressurized the tire again and then the next day we had a flat tire. I decided to take it to the dealer and had it replaced for another brand. After this incident the light of the pressure monitor system came on again after 2 weeks. Because of this problem we strongly believe we are having the same air loss problem with one of the other 3 michelin latitude tour tires installed in the car. We noticed 2 weeks ago that there was a recall on the michelin latitude tour line that covers various sizes and tin codes, however, the size and tin code on my michelin tires were not covered on the recall. The NHTSA campaign number is 13t006000 for this recall. I strongly believe that the manufacturer ?michelin north America? is under recall, and think more sizes of the same tire line ?latitude tour? should be included in the tire recall after reviewing several complains of the same tire brand and model. I strongly believe my tires are having and experiencing the same air loss problem due to sidewall perforation that the michelin recall reported. We think the problem reaches out to other sizes of the same type of tire that were not covered under this recall. Please conduct or initiate an investigation to whether or no the recall should be expanded to other tire sizes of the same michellin latitude tire line. There can be potentially other tires out there with the same problem as people has described on other comments for the same latitude tour michelin tires. We also noticed that there are other complaints in this website. It was May. 21, 2013 when this tire pressure monitoring system issue occurred.

The vehicle involved was a 2001 Mercury Villager. A local sears auto center sold me a set of bf goodrich tires in October, 2004 that have shown extreme pre-mature wear. The sears outlet has refused to take any action to correct this. Upon consultation with the oem, b. F. Goodrich, I should have never been sold the tire to begin with. It is not the recommended tire for my vehicle per goodrich and this is backed up when doing a web page tire selection search on the bf goodrich web page. These tires have worn 50 % at 15000 miles of use on tires rated for 60,000 miles tread life. They are an "h" rated performance tire that sears sold for my wife's Mercury Villager Mini van. . . Not exactly a high performance vehicle. Does the NHTSA have any records on file for application of a bf goodrich ta tire to a Mercury Villager Mini van where a safety occurence has happened ?
how can a retail outlet be allowed to sell tires that are not recommended by the oem for the vehicle they are being placed on. Are there government regulations meant to protect the consumer against these unfair trade practices ?
what can I do to file a formal complaint with the NHTSA to prevent this kind of misbehavior from occuring to other consumers in the future. This tire pressure monitoring system problem happened on June 21, 2005.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of Suzuki SX4
I have a 2010 Suzuki Sx4 and have had 2 failures of the tire pressure system monitors in less than 2 months. Both tpsm valves have fractures/cracks leading down the threading of the valve allowing air to leak. The first failure was in Dec 2011 and resulted in a flat while parked in a garage. The second failure was found when I noticed the front right tire was at 15 psi. Once again the tpsm valve was cracked length wise. There is definitely a problem it appears in the manufacturing of these valves by schrader electronics. Info on the tpsm valve:
part 43130-54j2
fcc 2546a-suz3ma4
schrader electronics
barcode: *09754328* and *09754116*
I'm having problems getting this issue resolved by the dealership on a vehicle that is only 1 year 4 months old and I have extensive platinum warranty. This is a huge safety issue for me and my family. A sudden failure by the remaining valves could lead to serious injuries or death as was the case in 2008 tpsm valve failures. This needs to be seriously looked into closely. Note: I have had the two faulty valves removed and replaced with rubber valves in the meantime. This problem occurred on December 27, 2011.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of Suzuki SX4
I have a 2010 Suzuki Sx4 and it's 4 tire pressure sensors have corroded and split on the stem. Leading to leaks and low pressure. My wife was going to work and went t a tire dealer to see what the low pressure warning was about and they found the cracked stem and replaced it because it was unknown how long it would last. The dealer says that all warranty work has to be done by a dealer and has given me some problems. This I feel is a safety issue and a poor product construction that could lead to dangerous conditions while on the road. This tire pressure monitoring system issue occurred Thursday, March 10, 2011.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of Volkswagen Routan
The car was a 2010 Volkswagen Routan. VIN of the vehicle was 2V4RW3D15A_. Front driver side tire rapidly deflated causing the vehicle to pull right into on coming traffic. The near miss could have been fatal. Upon investigation it was determined that the cause was corrosion of the tpms valve. I did a quick internet investigation and learned that the corrosion and resulting tire failure are common incidents. Why haven't these faulty tpms valves been recalled? this issue will surely result in deaths which I believe is the opposite of what these tpms sensors are for. This problem occurred on 12/23/13.

dear Volvo cars of north America,
subject: Volvo Xc90 warranty/safety issue
I have returned my Volvo Xc90 on several occasions for electrical system related problems to include three separate incidents of the position indicator light burning out, multiple bulb failures and tire pressure system warnings. My Volvo repair shop told me that these were unrelated normal repairs and that I should not be concerned
after the latest incident of the tire system malfunction I took my vehicle to a local repair shop who troubleshoot my vehicle, put the vehicle on a lift and showed me a wiring harness that was wet from being located directly underneath the vehicles ac I believe this is a manufacturers defect. The wiring harness has already developed rust which indicates consistent water immersion and I was told this should be a cause for concern as this situation could lead to electrical system failure, shorts, shocks or vehicle fire. I am requesting that this issue be fixed and some type of warranty extension be provided to protect from any future repairs that may be caused by this defect. [xxx]

information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). The failure date was Saturday, May 8, 2010.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem of Audi Q7
The vehicle involved is a 2008 Audi Q7. I was driving at 70 mph on interstate when blowout occurred on michelin pilot sport ps2 tire with only 11,000 miles on tires. The left front tire blew. The tires had been well maintained by rotating and balancing every 3,500 miles and tire inflation properly maintained. The weather was clear and dry. I had been driving for about 2. 5 hours when the incident occurred. I was able to steer the car to the emergency lane and call for assistance to change tire to spare. Upon examination, the inside edge of the tire the steel belt came through the tire and caused blowout. The outside edge of tire did not show the wear that the inside edge showed and had not been readily noticeable upon visual inspection earlier in the day. The tires had just been rotated, balanced and aligned 1 month prior and there was a notation to monitor the tread bar as the front tires were wearing faster than the back tires (the car is all wheel drive). I had been doing a visual inspection of the tires each time I got in the car and had not noticed that the inside edge of the left front tire was wearing unevenly from the outside edge. The aaa employee who removed the tire stated that he believed that air leaked out through the steel and caused the blowout. The car has tire pressure monitoring system however never showed tire pressure loss until the blowout occurred. This tire pressure monitoring system problem happened on Friday, May. 7, 2010.
