1. A method performed by an electronic device to monitor one or more wheels of a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving first accelerometer measurements of a first accelerometer mounted on the vehicle's first wheel when the vehicle is moving during an interval of time;
determining based on the first accelerometer measurements a first path followed by the first accelerometer when the vehicle is moving during the interval of time;
receiving second accelerometer measurements of a second accelerometer mounted on a vehicle's second wheel when the vehicle is moving during the interval of time;
determining, based on the second accelerometer measurements, a second path followed by the second accelerometer when the vehicle is moving during the interval of time;
determining based on a comparison of the first path with the second path that at least one of the vehicle's first wheel and the vehicle's second wheel is misaligned; and
responsive to the at least one of the vehicle's first wheel and the vehicle's second wheel being misaligned, transmitting to a user device a first alert indicating the misalignment of at least one of the vehicle's first wheel and the vehicle's second wheel.
