Clio Hybrid Tire Pressure and Steering Issue

Has anyone experienced a low tire pressure warning, ABS lamp illumination, steering wheel vibrations, and increased steering effort in their 2020 Renault Clio Hybrid with 118421 kilometers? I suspect a defective valve.

Hey! I have a Clio too, though not the hybrid. I had something similar happen a while back. Got the tire pressure warning, then things started feeling weird with the steering. Did you check the tires for any visible damage, like a nail or something?

I visually inspected the tires for punctures but found nothing obvious. Given the symptoms, I believe there is a slow air leak. Could you elaborate on how your issue manifested and what the root cause was?

Yeah, so I didn't see anything obvious either at first. But the pressure kept dropping slowly. Eventually, the shop found a tiny leak around the valve stem. It was enough to trigger the warning and mess with the steering over time. Best to get it checked out professionally; could be a similar valve issue or something else entirely.

Based on your experience, I scheduled an appointment. The workshop identified a defective valve in the tire, leading to a slow air leak and subsequent power steering issues. The total repair cost was 280€.
