Koup with 1000 miles, I searched but never found my exact issue so perhaps someone can give me a clue.

5-6 times in the last two weeks after about 1 hour of driving I have had the ((!)) low pressure symbol flash for about 1 min, then go solid and go out or go out upon restarting the car. I have checked the pressure cold and it was 32 psi on the dot. Thinking it was getting too high (don't know the upper limit) I dropped the pressure to 30 cold but still had the issue recur.

Last night the light flashed and went solid a mile from home so when I pulled in, I checked the pressure hot and all were 32-33 psi so it's not an overinflation issue AFAIK.

I have read it can be caused by RF interferance but really it's wierd that it's happening after about 45-50 mins of my commute, not in a specific spot.

I reinflated to 32 psi cold today since I don't think it's pressure related.

Anyone have a good clue? The TPMS light has never come on.

I had the same thing happen in conjunction with a transmission problem last week. It went out on its own and air pressure was fine. It might be a connection problem on the computer. Might want to have the dealer check it out. Read my thread "trouble codes - weird!" where I went into some detail about this problem. I think this problem may be in some way related.
I read your thread when I was searching the forums. I'll prob take it in to have it checked out.

...and I'll read the frippin' manual in the meantime. :)

Well according to the '11 manual, the blinking of the ((!)) symbol for a minute followed by illuminating steady is a system problem. I never get the [TPMS] warning light though. I'll see if it lights up when I go to start the car.

I drive far and fast and want to be able to trust the indicator if a tire goes flat. I've driven on flat rears unnoticed on a FWD car before.

does it blink and after a while just stay on?

if yes then one of ur sensors is either broken or just not responding. u can take it to the dealer and get it checked out
Yes, blinks for a minute then comes on solid for a while and goes away. Hasn't happened in two days now. Next dealer visit I'll mention it.
