Description of the problem | The tpms system:. We have a 2018 chevrolet equinox. Thru on star we get a "low pressure" tire warning every few weeks. And the warning takes over the speed gage which has been a problem. Air is added where indicated but we will get another notice in a week later. Now lately around february 5th, 2019, the car was taken to the dealer. Tires checked. They said that nothing was wrong except for too much air. They reset the computer. 7 days later around february 12th, 2019, we got another warning. Again it blocks the speed monitor and it won't let you reset it. The week of february 19th, 2019, i contacted the dealer again. Concern that it could be a sensor. They finally called back today-2-25-2019. Patrick from serra chevrolet tried to down play the sensor needing to be replaced. He put more emphasis on the weather. But we keep explaining that it happens in spring to winter. Serra chevrolet-southfield is where we leased this vehicle. Concern: 1. With this continuing to happen we will never know when we could get a tire blow out. 2. Not being able to see the speed monitor off and on is also very dangerous. And it won't allow us to reset it. We want all 2018 equinox to be checked. The sensors in the 2018 equinox must be checked and be replaced. We need some support from the manufacturer/gm.****also check, delay in acceleration after that gas pause in the engine. Thank you. And be blessed. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
