Keep us updated. The problem with my previous car was exactly as you describe experiencing at the moment.

How did you resolve the problem ?
Look at life through the windscreen, not the rearview mirror.

It was never resolved and still under investigation when I traded the car in against my present petrol Sport.

Exactly the same here.  SportNav Auto 2013.    Just before the car's 3rd birthday I was getting invalid TPMS faults randomly every ~30 miles.  Car had Bridgestone tyres on the front and 1 Bridgestone and 1 newer Continental Sport 5 XL on rear(an emergency replacement after a puncture in France ~ incidentally we had to drive back to the UK in a hire car to pick up that tyre as there were no suitable tyres in Northern France!).  I took it to Mazda dealership 3 times. After the 3rd visit,  despite them saying that they had done nothing, the problem seemed to go away... until 2 new Continental Sport 5 XL tyres were fitted to the front. Ever since I've been getting false "Check Tyre Pressure" warnings every 30 or so miles unless, bizarrely, I've let the tyre pressures drop a bit. I've had the car thoroughly checked by a Kwik Fit Brake specialist who can see nothing wrong and suggested returning to the Mazda dealership.  *sigh*
