There are a number of things that could be wrong with the tire. Cracked rim, bent rim, small tire puncture, leaky bead on rim from corrosion, faulty TPMS sensor in tire (model year dependent) to name a few. Take the car to a tire shop or your dealer, have them check the tire and have the tire deflated, bead cleaned and re-inflated. This type of problem is common on all makes. Often cleaning and reseating the bead will solve the problem.
