I haven't noticed TPMS sensor failures, but of my friend's cars that are equipped with TPMS, all of them had corroded valve stem cores that were causing the tires to lose pressure. I have never seen issues with leaking valve stem cores until now. With TPMS, I think a TPMS rebuild kit is a must at every tire replacement.
