Super sensitive tire pressure warning light?

Okay, this is driving me nuts, and I'm hoping I'm not the only one with this issue.
The sensor for my tire pressure is ultra sensitive. Everytime I hit the interstate with lotsa bump and potholes, and these are not major ones, just the usual for Philly roads, ya know... the tire pressure warning light turns on-on the dashboard. We stop the car, and check the tire pressure, and it's all okay. As soon as you turn the engine off, and turn it back on, the light dissapears. This has been happening for the 10th time already since I got my car.
Does your G do that? Or do you think I have a faulty tire warning pressure sensor?

You should check the tire pressure when the tires are cold. As in you haven't driven the car for several hours.

your monitor is acting up. take it to a dealer and have it diagnosed. you are still covered by warranty right? the forst thing the dealer will do is re-program the system
