| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Relates to a 2004 toyota 4runner. the tire pressure sensor system malfunctions and the light blinks indicating low pressure in the tires (blinking of the light per the provided manual is indicative of low pressure in tires). toyota and its dealers refuse to acknowledge the issue and unable to offer a fix. i have had my vehicle in the dealer shop now twice and involved regional toyota technical support with no resolution. each time the sensor is reset, the light triggers on after a few days. likely a failure of the either the tire sensor or the electronic control module. by admission of the dealer multiple vehicles have similar problems. the failure of the tire pressure sensor system tends to occur each time after driving conditions that involve higher (legal) speeds and after continuous driving for more than 30 minutes on highways. *nm |
