I really hope it doesn't come to that this early. I'm barely at 33X miles lol. I hope it's the weather fluctuation.

Has it turned cooler .. ??

Maybe the tire shop didn't put in 30 (or whatever) psi .. ??

(or they were warm when they added air and cold when you checked it ..??)

Maybe your tire gauge isn't accurate .. ??

I doubt it's a slow leak if all 4 tires are reading "low"....

My car's been sitting in a fairly warm garage so I can rule out the outside temperature.

The tire shop has a digital air pump, I saw the tech put in 37 PSI on the screen. (Super High Tech Air pump Machine), to compensate for heat.

Maybe the computer is wrong?

The first time my tires needed air, the tire pressure light went off. I checked it with my gauge and it was at about 28PSI (Can't recall exactly).

My tire shop said my tires were at 29/30 PSI (because I drove it), so I guess I can say my gauge is pretty close to accurate. I probably should of checked their after work to see if it was really at 35 PSI, but the light went off so I just disregarded it.

Today it was at 28 PSI too, but no light.... Air Gremlins

I would suggest that you remove the valve caps and place a bit of "spit" over the valve stem on each tire ..... see if it holds the surface tension across the gap. If it doesn't, either the valve is leaking .... or you have been drinking too damn much ....

Next check and bring all tires up to the desired pressure (35 psi). Check the pressures after several hours with the SAME air pressure gauge and after the car has been at rest.

If they ALL still lose air ...... either a family member is messen with you OR the air molecules are escaping via small leaks.

If that's the case, get out the kids swimming pool, fill with water, submerge each tire and look for the bubbles.

If you don't see any bubbles and the air keeps escaping, your housing may have been built on an Indian burial ground .... sell your car and move out of state.......

Keep us posted ....

Rechecked tire pressure today, holding steady for tonight! But today was fairly warm in Southern California, about 75 to 79 today.

Gave her bath #1 and got it all shined up! Too bad the light wasn't very good ....

Also, I noticed when wiping down the back rims that there are two holes in the rear wheel well edge that look like they should have plastic rivets. Is this just a placeholder for mud flaps or is something missing? Tempted to go by the dealer and see if it's standard... both sides have the same two holes.
