| Description of the problem | While driving home from work i ran over a nail that punctured the driver's side rear tire ,causing it to deflate slowly. When the tire was completly flat, and i noticed the shaking and sluggish handling, i pulled over to inspect. My tire pressure sensor did not work ,and did not notify me of the problem. After getting back into the car the tire pressure sensor came on, but only while parked and with a completly flat tire. The money spent on this safety feature, in my opinion, was useless. *ak |
