| Description of the problem | I purchased the car on may 22, 2015. Less that a week later i noticed a light on dash display for the tire pressure with a message stating "tire pressure monitoring unavailable." i took it back to the dealership. The service dept. Worked on the vehicle and stated it was repaired. Not 15 minutes after driving out of dealership the light was back on. I called the service dept. And was told to bring it back in. During the next appointment the service manager stated he had found the problem. He stated it was a module that needed to be ordered. I had to wait for delivery of this part for 3 weeks. When i took the car back, they replaced the module and the car was fine. Three weeks later, the light and message were back on. There is not even 1000 miles on the car yet. I am looking at other options for remedy. |
