You can lose contact with the sensor just driving down the road if you have a long unit, and you'll have no idea until the monitor alerts you that you've lost contact. That can take an hour or more. During that hour you can blow a tire or have pressure loss and not know it.
I don't mind waiting an hour to learn the battery has died in my TPMS sensor.
As long as it alarms quickly on pressure loss or heat buildup.
I like my TST but I think this time lag issue should be fixed.
That is 2 failures at the same time. A highly improbable occurrence. I will risk it without losing any sleep.
By the same token, If you have a circuit breaker in your house fail and lock closed, and at the same time have a dead short in the wire, you can have a house fire. Is that a design flaw?
You have too much time on your hands.
