Check tire monitoring system display and I keep losing air in my brand new tires. Why is this Happening? Could it be the system having something wrong with it causing me to lose air in my tires?

You say brand new tires, go back to where you bought them and have it checked. Are you actually loosing air or is it a false reading?

How fast is the pressure dropping? Overtime tires will lose a little pressure (a lb or two), more in cold weather. It's recommended to check the tire pressure once a month - use a good tire gauge - don't depend solely on the TPMS system.

the corrosion around the rim of the tire will cause them not to seal properly. a quick cheap fix some tire shops will do is run a liquid sealer around the rim of the tire and it will seal. but next tire change that has to cleaned off. the proper way is to clean them now with a wire brush before the tire is put on. chevy and chrysler chrome plated rims are known for this issue
