| The tire pressure monitoring system began to flash and then went to a steady signal. when i pulled over to check the tire pressure it was fine. this continued to happen almost daily and is still happening. on one occasion i ignored it and later that day i had a blow out due to low tire pressure. i cannot get the dealer to fix this. i changed wheels and added new tires and the condition continues. on some days while driving it will start to malfunction and then turn off. on other days it is fine. i have seen online that several other people have had the same problem. | |||

| Tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) light keeps coming on even though tires have correct air pressure. | |||

| My tire sensor light comes on constantly and usually happens right after i go to get service of some nature. it was on within days after my purchase of the vehicle and has continued since. i am diligent about checking air pressure it is always wrong. recently, my tire needed to be replaced due to a huge hole/gash. i replaced 2 and put them on the front. i noticed my drivers side tire always looked flat and when i went to check it, the metal cover was corroded and required pliers to get it off. well sure enough, the entire top broke off leaving the tire stem exposed. took it to the place who put on the new tires and was told it was the sensor. now i am constantly filling the tires regardless of temp and now i had to pay to replace this sensor that is clearly not working. my fear is that the gash in my tire happened as a result of the sensor. was it on and i ignored it because it is always wrong? or worse yet, did the damage come from inside? i am not sure but i can tell you i will never replace one again. it is sad that something that is designed to be a safety feature ends up being ignored because it is always wrong. my daughter just started driving and i even told her to ignore it. that is not a good way to start off dealing with cars. thankfully nothing serious happened when i was driving. | |||

| Tire pressure light comes on intermittently when driving on the highway at 60 mph or above. tire pressure has been checked and is alwasy correct at 32 psi. happens constantly. took car to dealer, they can find no error codes in computer. they reset it manually, took a rode trip 2 days later and the light came on again. it will stay on until i get off the highway, or will flash on and off and then go back off again. | |||

| This is my first new car i have ever own and have put more money into it then any of my old cars. about a month after i bought it in april of 2010 i immeditly had problems with the tires and hubcaps. one of my hubcaps fell off and i had to replace it. it fell off due to a clip that was initally missing on it when i first bought it. following that came my tire problems. for the past 7 months i have delt with tire pressure problems. as a matter of fact i have been getting my tires refilled about two times a week. finally i decided to have them resealed(cost 27$ a tire) and as they were doing that they found that my tire pressure sensor inside the tire was caroaded. therefore i had to spend 97$ and have them replace this becasue it was beyond saving. two days later i ended up back at the tire place for them to tell me that i need to replace more sensors. im very unhappy about my new car, if i would have known i was going to have so many issues with the tires i would have bought a different brand. i didnt buy a new car to have problems wiht it, this was the problems i was trying to get away from!! | |||
