Other steering/suspension problem

""I have experienced a constant low tire-pressure issue with the left front tire. I have taken the car to the dealer at least 7 times in the last 16 months of ownership to have it addressed. The dealer states the tire and valve stem are leak free, the rim is sealing properly and is not bent, and they have been unable to identify and fix the problem. Other than this one issue, I have had no other problem with the Bolt EV thus far.""
