Two trifling issues - noise in front and tire pressure monitor
Okay, I have two problems,
The first problem is the sound coming from the right side of my car sounds like the front. It comes on around 20 miles an hour up to 40 miles an hour and it is a light sound almost like tinfoil is rattling around in the wheel.
I've looked in there, even put new tires on the car and add them looking there, and there's nothing invisible. Any ideas?
My second problem is the tire pressure sensor system. The right front one went to dashes on the digital display, and the light shone on the dash. That's what started me down the road of tires there was a nail in one of the tires, so I thought perhaps it was making the light show, and also showing the dashes on the digital display. I was wrong.
So I've been through the manual resetting of the tire pressure monitor system a few times, and every time I do the front two and when I get to the back right there's no picking it up. Is it possible that even only at 59,000 miles and three years that the Psce sensor in the tire is it faulty?
So now instead of just having one tire not showing up on the digital display, all four of mine are showing blank so somehow I screwed it all up. I've read the procedures and now I'm doing it right, I've done it at least five times lowering the pressure refilling the tires everything.
I think it's time for a trip to the Chevy dealer that I'm out of warranty now I'm afraid they're going to rip me a new one. $$$.
I'm starting to lose a little faith in my complete Chevy history. I am 38 years old and ever since age 15 I've owned nothing but Chevrolet. This car in less than 60,000 miles now has a rear window defogger that doesn't work the light in the shifter display is out and now this tire pressure stuff.
I know these are all trifles, but now I'm afraid of the whole car is going to slowly fall apart over the next year too and I was hoping this would be the Chevrolet that it would last mean many many many years. Any ideas? Thanks Chevy guys!

Check the fender inner liner on that side, I had the dealer leave the push pins out in two locations and the liner flapped and buzzed, drove me nuts finding it. As far as the TPMS issues, you might be at the end of the battery life in the sensors themselves, or it could be another problem altogether.
Not having tons of TPMS experience I'll defer to someone here with more insight.
