TPMS sensors supposedly bad even though I had replaced them all 1.5 years ago . Dealer said they couldn't talk to them so they replaced all 4 year. 10 minutes into drive home the tpms light comes back on. Took it back, they supposedly relearned them, same thing happens again. they could not fix it talking about replacing LGM for hundreds, uh no.  I took it home found out what fuses fed the LGM pulled them for 5 minutes and reinserted and TPMS light has been out ever since . Consequently I believe I believe I got screwed out of $270 for sensors that did not need to be replaced, the liftgate module just needed to be rebooted.
