Tire pressure sensor light comes on when it is cold and stays on. Check pressure and tires are ok. Safety issues ars you never know if you have a problem. Called Nissan and they said not to worry when it get warmer the sensor light will go off, but when do you know if you really have a tire problem and a potential crash? I want the sensor replaced.
