Mercedes Hybrid error messages and steering issues

My 2020 Mercedes AMG GT Hybrid is throwing error messages I have a low tire pressure warning, the ABS light is on, the steering wheel is vibrating, and the power steering seems to have failed Could a flat tire cause this

Whoa, that sounds rough I had a similar experience with my BMW 3 series I'm no expert, but have you checked the tire itself for any punctures or damage Also, listen closely around the valve stem for any hissing sounds that would indicate an air leak

I'll check again more thoroughly Is the valve stem a common culprit for pressure loss I wouldn't have thought a tiny air leak could cause such dramatic issues with the ABS and power steering

Definitely check that valve On my 3 series, the valve was faulty and causing a slow but steady leak It messes with the car's sensors big time, especially the ABS Honestly, with all those symptoms popping up, I'd get it to a workshop ASAP They can run diagnostics and pinpoint the exact problem Better safe than sorry when it comes to steering and braking

I took your suggestion and got it checked out It was a defective valve in the tire causing the low tire pressure and triggering the other warnings They replaced the valve, re-inflated the tires, and cleared the error codes Cost me around 280€, but at least everything is back to normal now I appreciate the help
