Description of the problem | Tire pressure sensors and/or tpms module problem. I purchased this 2018 hyundai elantra from san tan hyundai, gilbert, az 86297 in late march 2018. The tire pressure in each of the 4 tires was 36 psi, the cold tire pressure for this auto. In the first week of august 2018 the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard came on . I checked the the tire pressure in each of the 4 tires with a analog and digital tire pressure meter and the pressure in each tire was about 32 psi. I re- inflated each tire up to 36 psi (spec requirement) but the warning light stayed on. I notified hyundai headquarters customer service about the problem and they assigned a case number and suggested i take the new auto with only about 1500 miles on odometer to san tan hyundai. I had to wait about 2 weeks for a oct. 18,2018 appointment. The tire warning light turned off just before my appointment, so i canceled the appointment. On 12-18-2018 the tire warning light came on and stayed on after the 4 tires were re-inflated again from 32 psi up to 39 psi. There is something wrong with hyundai's individual tire pressure sensor and/or tpms module on my new 2018 hyundai entrant. When each of the 4 tires are re-inflated to 36 psi,the dashboard tire pressure indicator light should turn off. I have made another appointment with san tan hyundai but what i here from customer service is: it may cost you dollars to fix this problem instead of indicating that it is covered under my new car warranty. This is why i am reporting my problem to nhtsa. On line reports indicate that this may also be a problem with other hyundai elantra vehicles from previous years. |
