Two years ago I had my tires replaced at the Honda dealership. When we got our car back I noticed the caps to the valves were missing. Called Honda and technician delivered caps. Then got call from Honda asking what size the tire said. Turns out they put the wrong size tire on my car. They got car and changed tires for correct size. Since then, out check tire pressure light comes on every one and half to two months. We have to put air in our tires because they are all low every time. I have been back to Honda multiple times to try to figure out the problem to no avail. I have kept track of all my low tire pressures and the dates and emailed Honda. They took my car in and finally figured out that all four tire pressure sensor valves are slowly leaking because of “corrosion”. They are going to replace them with labor free of charge, but we still have to pay the cost of the new valves ($63.00 each). I have a few questions:
1. Can these tire pressure valve sensors be damaged when repacking tires?
2. Why (after having zero problems before) would we start having this problem on all 4 tires immediately after replacing our tires? The manager at Honda said it is a coincidence.
