| Description of the problem | Tpms sounds warning alarm and light when driving - although tire pressures are fine. This has happened many times in the nearly 2 years of ownership and been to the dealer 3 times for attempted repairs. The audible alarm is also so loud it scares me when it goes off - and is not adjustable. This is not safe when i am driving, particularly in traffic. I don't want to feel that i have to stop on the roadside and check the tires when the system is giving me a false positive. Dealer has no answers. Said to just hit the reset button. The system is worthless - it's like the boy that cries wolf -- it goes off but you start to ignore it because it's never right. Chrysler/fiat needs to remedy this. |
