| No particular events; low tire pressure light came on when there was no problem. not sure of occurrence interval but has happened three times. the consequences are that the light stays on continuously and occasionally starts to blink resulting in driver concern over nothing. have taken vehicle to dealership and they say no problem with sensors but recommend setting air pressure to 38 psi to get light to stay off which is 6psi above air pressure decal on door frame that recommends 32 psi. they say this pressure (38 psi) will not impact tire wear which i disagree with completely as well as if you have a 10% pressure build up from normal driving it would exceed the tire manufacturer maximum tire pressure of 41psi. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan altima. the tire pressure warning light constantly illuminated on the instrument panel, which indicated that the tire pressure was low. the dealer repaired the tire sensor, performed an oil change, and rotated the tires; however, the tire pressure light continued to illuminate. while transporting a passenger, the passenger side seat belt became stuck and could not release the latch from the housing component. when attempting to remove the seat belt, it would become tighter around the passenger. the failure mileage was less than 3,000 and current mileage was 31,000. | |||

| Valve stem on the tpms popped off while driving because it was corroded. causes catastrophic tire deflation and loss of control of vehicle. factory tpms valve stems should be replaced from aluminum to something more resistant to corrosion. other three tire valve stems are corroded as well and may become as hazardous when driving. *tr | |||
