| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The service tire monitor warning displayed frequently and reportsed that a tire pressure reading was unavailable. This happened since day 1. Each time the vehicle has been brought in for service, the problem has been reported, and an attempt to correct has been performed. Two years later, after at least 5 attempts to correct the problem, it still existed. Thiswas a major annoyance as each time the monitor waring displayed it caused you to inspect the tires , and check pressures to ensure proper inflation, especially since tires were made by firestone. *ak |
