Tire Pressure Warning Light

[hooper]

Is anyone else having problems with the tire pressure warning system.

My light came on the second day of driving. Brought it back to the dealer and he "re-registered" the tire pressure sensors.

Light came back on the next day.

BTW - Tire pressures are about 32 PSI in all tires.

Have you had your windows tinted? I've read reports of metallic tint giving TMPS sensors problems, since the TPMS monitor is inside the car and the sensors transmit via RF.

I had the same problem. It came on on the way home driving it off the lot! I brought it back to the dealer a couple days later. They reset it (I guess). And I have not had any problems with it since. I've driven it close to 1000 miles now(one long road trip) and no problems since.

I too had it reset - came on again one day later. Today they replaced one of the sensors.

Count me too.

It first came on the day I got it. They "reset" something and everything was fine. Last night it came on again and I have to go back to the dealer to have them do something.

They found my front left sensor to be bad. Replaced it and no problems since. If this is the biggest sample defect in a new car, I will give them credit!! Good luck.

Recommended pressure for 18"s is 33 all the way around, and for 19"s is 35 all the way around. If you have 19" wheels, no wonder the TPMS is going off, you are 3 pounds low.

Not me. Sensors have been notorious problem areas since first debuting a few years ago. I can only assume the suppliers have not figured out all variables to which the sensor will be subject. But, replacing a sensor requires removal of the tire, which necessitates putting a tire removal/installation machine against the rim, which necessitates replacing the tire, which necessitates putting the rim back against the tire removal/installation machine, which necessitates removing wheel weights, which necessitates re-balancing the wheel/tire, which necessitates attaching new wheel weights to the wheel/tire. The fewer times this needs to be repeated, the better off my wheels and tires will be.

...dmkozak...you got that right.!!!I took my ride in awhile back and talked to the manager regarding the after market wheels. He says "no problem". When dropping off the car, we went over it again...I pick up the car, drive 3 miles to the mall, get out and noticed all 4 wheels damaged by the tire machine.!!! Went right back to the store and the manager says they didnt do it...I hit the curb. I said, yeah right dumb a--, I parked, then drove across the street and parked the wrong way to score the opposite side.. He would not do anything, so I drove his tires for a month, cancelled payment and dropped off the tires before he arrived at work. He calls all pissed, wondering what he is going to do with used tires...I said, "the same thing you do with damaged wheels"...LOL...Sometimes, life is sweet..!!!

My tire Pressure Warning light came on today. Checked all four tires. All have 35lbs. Taking it back to the dealer on Saturday. This is the second time I've had this problem.

Took my car in for this problem. The dealer replaced some of the sensors and reprogrammed the ECU. No problem now.

I had the same problem and brought it back to the dealer mult. times and finally they found my rear-right rims was cracked, since they replaced I had it go on again, but I think just because it was cold. It went off like to days later and hasn't gone back on

The light came on in mine in the first week of ownership. Took it to the dealer and also complained about a blemished rear wheel. Wound up replacing both rear wheels with those from a showroom car- fixed the light problem.

are you running with 18" or 19" wheels? My understanding is the 19" Wheels on S Models need 35 psi.
