I've started seeing more and more people using Fix a Flat and other liquid tire repair products in their tires. DO NOT USE ANY LIQUID TIRE REPAIR if you have TPMS sensors in your wheels - you will destroy them.
How do you know if you have TPMS sensors?
1. Every new vehicle since 2007 has them fitted in their wheels out of the factory.
2. You have a little light in your dash that looks like " (!) " when your tires get low.
A TPMS Sensor (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), is an electronic device fitted to a wheel, inside a tire. They have a little hole in them that takes a reading of your tire's pressure. When you use a liquid tire repair product you destroy the sensor which makes for the most expensive flat tire ever.
