The nuts on the air sensors on tires corroded and cracked . This is the same problem which led to a Nissan recall of 2008-09 muranos and fit models. ( living in maryland from 2009 until 2015).
Tire pressure monitor - stayed on after vehicle was serviced at dealer for 75,000 mi check up which included extensive review of all vehicle systems. After checking cold pressure several times and driving vehicle for several days tire pressue monitor would not go off. Returned to dealer and requested the problem be fixed. They were helpful and polite but tried to charge me $160. 75 for replacing the monitor because the battery went out in the monitor. I am complaining that I should not have spend $160 for each tire monitor because it's battery expired. The batteries should be replacable in the tire monitor. I think its's unfair and poor design to require Nissan owners to spend $640 over time to keep an important saftey feature operational. This system needs to be redesigned to reflect a much less expensive(replaceable battery) replacement part or replace the monitors free of charge.
