| Description of the problem | The tire pressure light comes on just about every other day. I have had the tires checked numerous times & the light continues to come on, this has been happening since november of 2007. This is a serious safety issue, i will never know if there is a real problem with a tire with this happening. I drive the highway daily & find this very troublesome. My 2005 rav 4 has under 25,000 miles on it. I am estimating the number of failures to be 50, however i think it is more. I believe this is a defect & toyota should require these to be recalled & fixed. |
