Hey,

I kinda joined with the hopes that some experts/mechanics can help direct what exactly I need to do to get my car in good working condition.

Initially, when I first bought the car the first service light to show is Service Tire Monitor System everytime I started the car. Reading about it online, I had the impression that probably one (or all) of my tire sensors have gone bad. I just have ignored it up to this point and thought nothing of it.

Second symptom was the Service traction control, which was the most annoying because the engine would cut its power and the cruise control wouldn't work (also made driving much more harder).

So I took it to the mechanics, they assured me that replacing the throttle module would fix the problem (also the check engine light that would pop-up, then car would accelerate and shift hard). I was quoted around $350 to replace the throttle module and I planned on waiting till my tax return to come in.

Then this past Sunday, I was driving and heard this loud noise and my car was not driving normally. Looked around my car, then saw my tire completely flat. I have had the car for about three weeks now.

Is it at all possible that the throttle module is fine, but the slow deflation of the tire is throwing the traction control off? I am guessing that the tire sensors are picking up that the tire may be leaking, and throwing bunch of errors to the throttle module which controls the traction control?
