| Description of the problem | While driving at 65mph on interstate highways, tpns indicator lit up on dashboard. Vehicle was at constant speed, i. E., not under acceleration or braking, roads were straight. We had the tire pressures checked at costco, and they were adequate at 33psi per wheel. Sensors were checked and read out at 33psi. System was "re-programmed". Fault occurred again. Dealer checked the system, reported "no fault found". We were told dealer was aware of other 2013 sonatas with similar faults when "electrical noise" overwhelmed the system causing a "false fault". We think hyundai should fix this issue. |
