Not a tire issue, tpms issue, had 2 replaced due to corrosion and slow leaks. These came with a certified used vehicle. Mettalic stems and nitrofill. From dealer ira toy of danvers mass. 245/60r18 tires. There was no tire damage dash light came on before driving. Tpms sensors were replaced 6 months apart. The other 2 are still on the car and holding air for now. High cost for replacement with new style rubber stems. Not warranted but should be before they snap off on road and cause accident. Manual says if catastrophic fail tpms dash may not light. Toyota should replace metal with new rubber non-corroding stems and sensors. Tire are important and the safety devices to check this should be of better safety than the item being monitored.

2012 Toyota Highlander. Consumer writes regarding a defect with tire pressure monitor. The consumer stated the tire pressure warning light was illuminated, but the tires are all at the correct pressure levels. The consumer requested to have the tpms deactivated until a fix was available.

On November 26th 2008 while traveling east on interstate 70 from denver, 75 mile an hour, and aprox twenty miles east of bennet colorado, we experienced both front and rear passenger tire blowouts at the same time. The back passengers tire was destroyed. We were able to change it out with our spare. The front passengers tire was extremely low (1" off pavement) and had a bubble on the side wall of the tire. It had not broken the air seal around the rim, and so we were able to return very slow back aprox . 25 miles to an exit and retrieve air for that tire. As the side wall bubble grew in size we stopped the air at about twenty pounds. We then returned aprox twenty mile back to denver, to a discount tire store. We then replaced all of the tires on our 2005 Toyota Highlander. Prior to departing on this trip we had rotated the original tires as well as checked and confirmed all air pressures, (the pressure was checked thirty minutes before leaving town) when checking the tires we had heard a hissing sound at the valve stems on both of the passenger tires. Thought this was just the air hose, but now believe that the valve stems were cracked and leaking air. I have documented the tire condition and have the original valve stems from the tire store. These tires were original equipment michelin tires with 28644 mile on them. We believe that this condition was a result of faulty valve stems, and may be a serious safety concern for others. My Toyota dealer service center refers me to michelin tire company, and michelin refers me back to them. Toyota motor company has documented a report, but will not address the issue as a concern. We had three adults - (500 pounds) and three suit cases - (150 pounds) and therefore don't believe that at 750 - 800 pound that we were overloaded.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Highlander. While driving approximately 60 mph, the "low tire pressure" warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The indicator remained illuminated until the mechanism was turned off. The failure occurred whenever the vehicle was driven on the highway. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and observed that the tire pressure was not low in any of the four tires. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing, but they could not determine the cause of the failure. The failure occurred on six separate occasions. Recently, the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the failure was related to the computerized system. The estimated repair cost would be $2,414. 60. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 21,000 and current mileage was 23,000. Updated 10/16/08. Updated 10/17/08.

I installed winter tires and wheels with oem tpms and was not able to reset the car to recognize these new sensors. I'm told that I have to have the dealer reset the system twice a year when I change wheels and tires or let the system read failure until I swap back the original wheels and tires. The car is a Toyota Highlander. I think the tpms is a great system but the manufactures need to update the cars software to allow the driver to update the system. The dealer charges 125. 00 each time for this service. The law mandating tpms didn't intend to make this a cash cow for the dealership.

I had a tire go very nearly flat and the low tire indicator on my 04 Toyota Highlander never illuminated. A passing motorist made me aware of the tire condition. I barely was able to make it to a station without ruining the almost new tire. I had just came into town, and was previously at highway speed with 2 elderly passengers besides myself. My local Toyota dealer here in mckinney TX said that Toyota tech support says there is nothing they can do. Even though I had just driven about 5 miles to the dealership with one tire purposely under inflated by 10 pounds to prove to them that it was not working, they are telling me that Toyota will do nothing about it, except to verify that there is no codes set in the computer!.
