Anyone have TPMS sensor failure. If yes, what was the milage/year? I am wondering what is the service life for these batter powered sensor. If will require bulks to ask tire shop to check and replace it when it is failing.

10 years is usual. Once the battery is dead, the sensor must be replaced per federal law (no modifications can be made to the unit).
