EQV Tire Pressure ABS and Steering Problems

Has anyone experienced a strange tire issue on their 2021 Mercedes EQV electric? I've driven 285313 km. I'm getting a low tire pressure warning along with the ABS light, steering wheel shake, and weakened power steering. Tire pressure seems fine and there's no obvious flat tire.

That's an unusual combination of issues. I had something similar, though not exactly the same, on my EQV. The tire monitoring system gave errors, and it turned out to be a defective valve causing a slow air leak. Have you checked the valves closely for damage?

A defective valve? I hadn't thought of that since I couldn't find punctures. Did this affect your steering at all? Did the power steering feel weak when the tire pressure warning appeared?

Yes, the steering felt heavier, especially at lower speeds. The tire pressure drop wasn't major, but enough to trigger the warning and affect the ABS and steering. I suggest having the tire valve inspected at a workshop. They can run diagnostics.

Thanks for the tip! I took it to the workshop, and you were right. It was a faulty valve causing a slow air leak. It cost 280€ to replace. The warning lights are gone, and the steering is normal. I appreciate the help!
