 Description of the problem26sep12 the tire pressure monitoring system will provide a false failure when there is certain electrical interference (e. G. Cell towers). This is a recognized fact as noted in the driver's manual (p. 71). The issue is that the system fails to reset after the interference has passed and all of the failure lights remain on for an indeterminate period of time (from 2 hours to 3 days) before automatically resetting. Absent this resetting the car is unsafe as, without a warning system for tire failure (either low pressure or tread failure), an accident could occur. The dealer offered no solution as the computer does not register a system incident and all systems passed a computer check on 16aug.. Bmw north america ([xxx]) could not provide any further assistance. A properly functioning reset system is needed to insure safe operation of the motor vehicle. Thank you for your time.
