| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 nissan murano sl with about 52,000 miles and when i replaced all 4 tires, a slow air leak developed where the tire pressure monitor (tpm) seals against the inside of the wheel. The tpm was never moved or replaced when the new tires were mounted. The tire pressure read from both the dashboard and a hand held device reads about 19 psi when it should be about 35 psi. It takes about 2 weeks to be reduced. The inside seal on the tps is replaceable however the tps nut on the outside of the wheel that must be removed is seized and being aluminum, its threads are easily stripped. In conclusion, to fix the air leak, i have to purchase a new tps at about $100 each. With only 52,000 miles, the tps seal and threads should not be having these problems. |
