| Description of the problem | Regularly getting faulty tire pressure readings on my 2006 xterra for over a year now (in cold and warm weather, long and short trips). At first, light would flash intermittently, and then stay on for long period until tire was inflated, particularly left front tire. Took it to the dealership several times, but they couldn't tell me what was wrong. On one occasion, i did have nail in the tire, which was repaired. However, for several months now, the light has come on and off and when i check the pressure, all tires were correctly inflated. Finally, the light stayed on, so i went to the dealership, and they finally told me it was a faulty left tire sensor - the price would be $200. I did some research on the internet and found this was been a rather widespread problem across several makes and models (cars and trucks/suvs - newer models, 2006 and newer). |
