| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 toyota sienna limited for about 5 months. About 2 months ago the tire pressure light started to come on when all tire pressures actually are normal. So far i had visited my local dealership 3 times in the last few weeks. But the problem still was not solved because they seem don't know how to fix it. Then i went to the website and found out nhtsa has opened a preliminary evaluation regarding 2004 and 2005 seienna tire pressure and reglulating system. That's why i come here to complaint. My situation is when driving on the highway the tire pressure light will come on/off every 20-30 minutes. Although it didn't cause any incident yet. But after awhile, i guess most people might intend to neglect this false alarm. But it is very important to have it function correctly for a vehicle with a rft tire. Therefore i think this defect need to be recalled with a better design. I am going to keep my vehicle the way it is as a live example and welcome anyone from nhtsa come to check on it. |
