Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Low tire pressure monitoring systems must be reprogrammed by the dealer if wheels are rotated, if a full size spare tire replaces a wheel the reprogramming is at consumer's cost. this forces consumers to have to go back to the dealership for something which used to be done at home. i blame nhtsa for pushing tire pressure monitoring systems, without enforcing manufacturers making it possible for consumers to set their own tire pressures , and this added unnecessary cost to regular maintenance which used to be free.*ak
