Puma ABS and Steering Issues

I'm having trouble with my 2020 Ford Puma diesel. At 126254 km, the tire pressure low warning keeps popping up. Also, the ABS light is on, the steering wheel vibrates, and it's harder to steer, like the power steering is failing. I thought it might be a bad tire valve. Has anyone else seen this?

I had something similar happen with my Puma. The low tire pressure light came on, and the steering felt really heavy. Did you check the pressure in all your tires? It sounds obvious, but it could just be a slow leak. Is it always the same tire that triggers the warning?

Thanks, I checked all the tires and inflated them to the right pressure. The warning is still there, and the other problems too. It doesn't seem to be just one tire; the whole system seems off. What happened with yours? Was it just a puncture, or something else?

Okay, if you checked the pressures and it's still happening, it's probably not just a simple puncture. Mine was a faulty tire pressure sensor, which messed with the ABS and power steering. Based on what you're saying, I'd take it to a workshop; sounds like a sensor or something is bad.

Thanks, that makes sense. I thought it was more than a puncture. I'll book it in with a workshop for a check. I was thinking valve issue, but the sensor idea fits better with the other systems. The repair cost 280€.
