Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Have a toyata xle awd van with run flats and tire pressure monitoring system. the tire pressure monitoring does not work. front passenger tire has a leak which could not be found 2 weeks ago. the system was reset, all tires pressured up by the dealer 2 weeks ago. there is a 20 psi difference between the left and right wheels and the system does not light up in the dash. 3 week ago, we went on a 2000 mile trip, before which i noticed the problem of one tire being low in tire pressure and the system not working. the dealer has no fix on the problem and said toyota does not have any tsb's on it. now duse to this defective system, they have found a leak which may be close to the sidewall on the tire and cannot be repaired and it being an all wheel drive vehicle, i am being advised to put 4 new runflats at over $1200 with less than 16000 miles on this vehicle.
