Yes.

My daughter's 03 GT is having this problem - 3 wheels all lose air. I don't understand why it doesn't show up on leak test, except that the bead needs the weight of the vehicle to leak??

Anybody tried the goop (not fix-a-flat) that you put in tire? I saw it, but wanted to hear experience.
You take out valve stem, squirt this goop in, and it is supposed to seal punctures.
