Tire-pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors become unavailable

Before describing what's happening: * When car was new, tires had 2.8 Bar. * Car's tire pressure sticker says; 2.5 Bar. * Today: all tires have: ~2.5 Bar. Now, the scenario is: * On highway, at 110km/h there's a slightly rougher road with more tire vibration. * When entering the (slightly) rough road segment at 110km/h, all TPMS sensors immediately become yellow. * They sometimes came back after some time. * Sometimes only 3/4 sensors disappeared. * But now none come back at all. This brings me to the point I wanted to originally raise: * Are there any quality issues with the TPMS sensors? * Alternatively, are they simply built too badly to resist a little vibration, which is arguably within normal road conditions? Curious to hear your thoughts. Overall it doesn't bother me too much, but thought I'd raise it, and see if anyone has similar observations.

Sounds like there is a loose connection somewhere from the TPMS sensor to the display? Maybe bring your car back to the dealer to get it checked out? Can't say I've personally experienced any issues with the TPMS sensor on my car though.

Actually, it's also entirely possible that TPMS sensors are allergic to 2.5 Bar. Will try to pump all tires to 2.7 Bar and report back. And if this is the case, then TPMS sensor range is misaligned with tire pressure recommendations. Will ping back results.

One of the TPMS sensors magically came back, and reported 2.7 Bar. Then went on the highway, and on the vibrating asphalt made it disappear again.
