Driving on access road at about 25 mph. Loud noise followed by flopping noise. Pulled off the road within about 200 yards. Drivers side rear tire was completely flat. Put on spare tire.

Tire pressure monitor indicated low pressure. Right rear tire needed air. Tire continued to slowly leak and the pressure monitor tripped again days later. Mentioned problem to dealership during service. Dealership found no problem with the tire and properly inflated all wheels. A few days later the tire pressure was low (tire pressure monitor tripped again). Bringing vehicle back to the dealer for possible replacement of tire. Probably a problem isolated to my specific car, but logging the incident in case there are more tires out there with similar problems.
