i went to the dealership today to see how they were doing on my car, with the tmps issue they replaced the bcm and the reciever still no fix, i asked them if metallic tint on my windshield would be causing the issue , they didnt really know but it makes a hell of alot sense that it would to me, so im going to take the tint off the windshield to see if it fixes the issue, because when i first bought the car no light issue until i tinted it. what do you guys think?

My wifes 2013 2LT/RS started having TPMS issues about a month after we bought it. It's been in 6 times and they have replaced several things including the Onstar mirror and BCM and it has not fixed the issue.

GM has since decided to blame us for tinting the windows, even though it's non-metallic and thier own TSB states metallic tint.

The issue seems to be getting worse as well. It started on the left side front or rear or both and maybe once a day. Now it includes the right front and happens sometimes 4 times a day or will come on and not go off. Obvious to me, since the front tires are giving us problems it cannot be the tint because our winshield is not tinted.

Dealership is stuck because GM won't allow them to do anything under warranty more until the tint is removed. I offered to remove it at my expense if they will retint it if that proves not to be the issue. There response was NO.

All my so called 'customer service' rep can do is say I'm sorry.

Frankly I'm at a loss for ideas other than that one, anyone got a clue lol?

Mine takes a bit to register each one sometimes, but it definitely works(2012 LS as well). I've done it like 7 times or so now. I guess just keep letting air out until it senses it and if nothing else take it to the dealer.

Hadn't heard that yet. Mine was tinted by the dealership before they even put it on the lot, glad I haven't had that issue.
