Default 3960KM - Tire Pressure = 0!

Last year (ok fine, late December), I visited the dealer with a problem I had called them about. Tire pressure system was reporting odd results. When 4 tires were all over 180, some would flash warnings while others would not. For example all 4 tires presenting 180, one of them would flash while the others would not. The rear passenger tire however started showing lower and lower pressure. I brought it to the dealer when they could fit me in, they reset the system and filled the tires (looks like they didnt inspect anything) because the problem resumed a couple days later, and tonight, while turning the car felt sluggish. I pulled into a parking lot, and while I switched to the TPM menu, it reported "check system" then reported 6kpa in the tire. I stayed parked, got out and looked - bam flat!

So here I am in a bad area of town, in a dark parkinglot for an hour waiting for the tow truck to come handle my tire (used road side assistance).

I wasnt about to get on the ground and figure out how to change a tire, when I have never changed one in my life, specialy on my new car.

Dealers getting a visit tomorrow!

Oh and dont forget the wonderful issue of my fuel economy being sub par for the last while - may just be the problem!
