i'm a tech for toyota have been for a few years now, the only gripe i have with TPMS is during the season changes, in the last 3 weeks i have had atleast 100 or so customers come in and complain that there tire pressure light is on, turns out that all the tire pressures are low cause it's getting colder outside so i have to fill them up and reset there light for nothing..... that's my only gripe. the new systems work great and the only time you are going to damage a sensor is if you decide to use fix-a-flat to repair a tire or you break it while the tire is being installed or removed. i have never seen a tire pressure sensor break because of a tire blow out, the sensor is well protected by the rim and you really would need to be trying to climb rocks with your flat tire before it would touch the sensor.
