I have had my Titan for a month and it has been to the dealer twice for an intermittent tire leak. I noticed the tire being low the minute I purchased it and I brought it up to the dealer, he said not a problem, just bring it in and he would take care of it. I actually heard air hissing from the tire. Well to make a long story short, I drove it for a week and it held pressure...no leaks, then boom, the indicator lamp on the dash comes on and sure enough the same tire is low. Bring it in the dealership and the tech keeps it for 3 days... no leak. I get the truck back, drive it for a week without incident and sure enough it starts leaking again. The think I am nuts! I told them to check the transducer on the inside of the rim and the dude just looks at me with this blank stare. I am starting to get a little p@@sed off! To add insult to injury they give me this dinky cavalier as a loaner!

Got my Titan back after its little 4 day visit at the stealership. The problem never presented itself to them. They took the right tire from the right rim and installed it onto the left rim and gave it back to me.  All I can say is there is not a better way to start off the new work week than starting it off  with a FLAT tire!  New tire on order, yipee!

Man IQ9 that would suck! I start to go stir crazy after an hour of sitting in the dealership waiting room!

More news on this tire thing. Dude from the dealership calls me and states that BF Goodrich would take the tire back this ONE time with no charge. The dealership service tech tells me that he had to pull strings in order to get it replaced free of charge. What kind of bullsh** is that? The dang tire was freaking flat before I signed the papers!  First of the service tech is being pretty cool, seems like a nice guy.  That was Monday, the rep tells me it will be ready Wednesday. So I call him... this is funny... the tire place that is handling the tire replacement sent the WRONG tire to BF Goodrich... not once but TWICE! Then they send a rep from the tire service up to Chicago with the right tire and to top it off BF Goodrich gives them the WRONG tire! I just cant believe this crap!  Now I dont get the truck back till tomorrow, no big deal, But now I am paranoid... jeez if they cant handle a simple tire exchange how will they handle something serious?!?!?

I noticed in the official technical bullitens that there was an issue with the seal on the sensors inside the tire and that the seals needed to be replaced.

I too have experianced low tire pressure. I'm bring this to the attention to the dealer on my next service this weekend.
