2008 Nissan ALTIMA Tires Pressure Monitoring And Regulating Syst Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	10/09/08
Component	TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYST
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	2008 nissan altima sedan with 13000 miles. The tire pressure monitor system does not work as it is supposed to. The warning light is on if the tires are at the specified pressure of 32 psi as specified by the placard affixed to the driver side door. I went to the dealer and the fix was to increase the tire pressure to between 35 and 40 psi. That is unacceptable as the handling changes drastically, the ride deteriorates and i'm sure the life of the tires is shortened. After discussing the repair with the service department, they informed me that since the pressure monitoring is a government mandated item, increasing the pressure is all they are required to do by nissan, and that there is nothing else they can do. That is an unacceptable fix. I was reading in a nissan help group website that the problem is an often happening even on cars right out of the showroom.
