Description of the problem | My trucks tpms is faulty and not working as required. I have had the ford dealership in frisco, tx look at it several times and they have not provided a repair. The system does not activate or "display" a trouble light until the pressure in a tire goes below 18psi. That is almost flat on a 1/2 ton pickup truck going down the road at 65mph. They tried removing the wheels and replacing them with another 2014 model f-150 and no difference. They just tell me that the system is working correctly. My understanding is that there are two different types of tpms "direct" and "indirect". Both are required to notify the driver of an unsafe condition with one or more of the vehicle tires. This was a requirement that was part of the tread act enacted by congress in 2000. The ford dealership has been unsuccessful in repair this safety component in my truck. I reported to bbb auto industry as well but nobody seems to be able to force ford to repair this defect and i am concerned for the safety of my family as well as others on the road driving as well. What can you do?? |
