Both driver side tires had a nail/screw removed. Repaired and rotated for free at Discount Tires.
2 weeks ago wife called and said some warning light is on. She sent the picture and it's TPMS. Instructed her to do the reset, but the light was back on again within a couple of days. I sent her to Discount Tire Store near our house checking the tire pressure. Yep, the RR was low at 30 psi and she saw a nail. Discount Tire fixed it for free even though the tires are still OEM.
2 days later wife said the TPMS is on again. Sent her to the same DT and now it's RR tire again?! The tech told her last time the flat tire they fixed was the RF, not RR? But wife insisted she saw a nail at RR and tire pressure at RR was low too. Anyway DT fixed the RR for free and I believe she got nails at both RF and RR at the time, and the tech only saw the nail at RF and fixed it.
Last Thursday she got TPMS light again on the way to work and she asked me why. I sent her to DT near her work checking the tire pressure. This time it's the LF which got a nail! She aired up the tire and got fixed after work at the DT who did previous 2 fixes.
At least now I'm pretty confident that this cheaper TPMS system on gen-1 CX-5 is very reliable to detect tire leaks. It seems to be possible we'd get multiple flats or consecutive flat within days. And one time before she got
5 nails at LR tire on our BMW!
Kudos to Discount Tire Store who did all flat repairs for free although the tires were not purchased from them, they're OE Toyo's.
Our 35K-mile CX-5 got only one flat before this rash of flats! Now every OE tire has a patch on it. And no, there's no road construction or home construction on her way to work.
