Dec 2010 13000 20 TPMS light problem again as temps dropped. Put air in tires, but light would not go out. Since I ignored the light once before because it was always on and had a nail in the tire, I took it into a tire shop (not the dealer). TPMS light came back on day after supposed tire repair. They could't tell me which tire they repaired, so I question if they actually did. Went back and they checked pressure and it was OK, but TPMS light is still on a month later.
