| Feb 201426040 mi | Tire pressure warning light came on. Dealership said it was a faulty tire pressure sensor in a wheel. They did not know which wheel, so finding out would involve a complicated routine. The cost would be over $200 + Tax. I declined. | ||

| Mar 201631000 mi | For two and a half years I have been driving with a faulty tire pressure sensor/light. I declined to pay the dealer over $200 to repair it. 1500Km ago I disconnected my battery. Problem solved! Computer reset? Now, into my 7th year with this car. the TPS continues to come on when it gets cold and turns off when it gets warm. The design of this TPS system is poor. You never know which sensor is faulty, you must check each one, so who cares, I will live with it and check my pressures myself. It's just a money making scheme for Nissan. | ||
