| Description of the problem | The tire pressure light fails constantly and without reason. I've had my tires checked, rechecked, balanced, rotated, rebalanced, rotated again, and nothing will stop the light from coming on. There are only 20,521 miles on my rav4. This problem has been going on for months. I took my rav4 to my mechanic again this morning and after checking all the tires again, he found no problems. My tires are new, less than two months old. While taking my husband to the hospital today the light came on again. My mechanic says it's a defect that the manufacturer should fix. |
