Alhambra ABS and Steering Issues

I've got a 2018 Seat Alhambra with a gasoline engine. I'm getting a tire pressure low warning, but things seem off. Along with the warning, the ABS lamp lights up, the steering wheel is vibrating, and it's harder to steer. Could this be related to a flat tire or punctured tire even if the tire pressure seems normal? I'm a bit lost.

Sounds familiar. I had something similar happen with my Alhambra. Do you have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)? Is it showing a specific tire with low tire pressure, or is it more general?

Yeah, it's showing the tire pressure warning. It's not showing a specific tire though, just the general warning light. I checked the tire pressure with my tire gauge, and they all seem okay. Could it still be a tire pressure issue if the tire pressure looks fine?

Okay, mine did the same thing. The general warning light and the other issues make me think it's more than just slightly low tire pressure. It could be a defective valve inside the tire itself. It's causing the system to freak out. I'd get it checked out by someone who knows what they're doing before driving too much further.

Took it to a shop and you were right, it was a defective valve in the tire. Cost me 280€ to get it sorted. Thanks for the help!
