Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2016 subaru outback on october 6, 2015. The tire pressure monitoring system activated on january 25, 2016, even though all tires had 35 psi in them as recommended. Since that day, the system has activated 17 times, again every time the tires had the correct pressure in them. The subaru dealer has had the vehicle in the service department five times for a total of 14 days. Even though there was a sincere effort at first to locate the problem, i am now being told that this is a normal condition for my vehicle and there is nothing else that can be done to repair this vehicle safety warning system--that i must accept it as it is. This is very frustrating to me since the vehicle has only 2,200 miles on it. The system makes a beeping noise, then a screen comes on the dash with an exclamation sign and a tpms symbol, then another screen comes on that says check owner's manual. This usually happens in the morning as i am backing out of my garage and my vehicle is entering the street in front of my house. According to the manual, if there really was a low tire pressure, the light would stay on until the tire was brought up to proper pressure. My message finally goes away and does not act like the manual says a low tire would indicate.
