Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The computer program controlling the tire pressure monitoring system is flawed. the computer will indicate (on dash display) that a tire is flat when the actual pressure is about 4 pounds either high or low. it will not show the actual tire involved or condition. it also causes an audio alarm to be sounded continually until the car is pulled over, stopped and the system disabled from the on dash controls. this is not always possible when on a freeway. the alarm is totally and completely in error. *ak |
