Default Tire pressure monitering question.

Hey my car's TPM system has gone off today for the second time. The first time the tire was low on air, but a second time within 3500 miles is odd no? Should I complain?

Default Not odd...sounds like you have a bad Tire, Valve, or Wheel. Take the wheel off...

and dunk it in water, you will see where the leak is. Or you can take it to the dealership, that should be covered. If you don't see a leak, then replace the tire because it is failing air retention.
