Component	TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYST
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	We have a new 2008 kia sportage. The tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) comes on intermittently, four times in 10,000 miles. We have had to take the car back to the dealer on two occasions to have the light turned off. It went off by itself on the other two occasions. The dealer says the tpms system is new and we should not worry about it. They also stated it happens frequently on other models, not just our vehicle. I believe this could be a safety hazard and should be investigated. How are we supposed to now if we really have low tire pressure?
