TPMS Issue with 2019 Kia Stonic: Low Tire Pressure Readings Despite Normal Appearance

Hey! I had the same issue with my 2016 Kia Sportage not too long ago. It's kind of a pain, right? My mechanic told me it was a defective antenna in the TPMS. Yeah, it sounds serious, but it's not really life-threatening or something. I'm not a mechanic, but it seems like the TPMS antenna thing is more of a component in reading the tire pressure rather than affecting the actual pressure. Since it was defective, the readings were all off, just like what you're experiencing right now. Getting it fixed wasn't too much of a hassle. My mechanic had to order the part and put it in. Took a little bit of time but fixed the issue neatly. Now, no more unusual tire pressure readings on my dash. I hope you get your issue sorted out easily, just like I did.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience, it's such a relief knowing I'm not the only one with this issue. Your experience with the TPMS antenna problem sounds a lot like what I'm going through with my Stonic. By the way, do you happen to remember how much you shelled out to get that fixed? And have you run into any other issues with your Kia since then? Cheers!

Hey again! It cost me around 255 Euro to get the TPMS antenna fixed up. Yeah, I know it's not exactly pocket change, but it did fix the problem and hasn't given me any grief since. I'd say it was worth it to not constantly worry about my tire pressure readings anymore. As for other issues with my Kia, well, since seeing the mechanic back then, I've been smooth sailing - nothing else major to report. It's been doing its job, and doing it well. So, fingers crossed it stays that way for both of us!

That's super helpful, dude! I appreciate the ballpark figure, and it's definitely a relief knowing it's not an outrageous price. I agree, peace of mind is worth it. Happy to hear that your Kia is running smoothly since then, keeping my fingers crossed too. As they say, may our paths be clear and engine lights dim haha! Catch you later and thanks again!
