| Description of the problem | Tire pressure monitoring system is not working and toyota has made up various excuses as to why the light does not go off during a flat or "blow out" or that it is working properly. Recently i was extremely nervous during driving and found after pulling off and stopping at a honda dealership that i had an undriveable tire. Honda was not sure why the light did not go on but said it was unsafe to drive and would not hold air so i could not get to toyota. Beside the 9 tires i have replaced the latest tire cost me a rim also. I am assuming that this was due to the flat that i did not know that i had. Something needs to be done about the run flats and especially the tire pressure monitoring system before someone is killed or severely injured. Please do something about this very serious problem. |
