Description of the problem | I own a 2013 honda cr-v was very happy with my car until my recent flat tire. Does anyone know that the tpms (low tire sensor) is connected to the brakes? Me neither. Recently i had flat tire and had the spare put on until i could get it replaced. Only a couple of days to the weekend to wait, so i didn't have to take time off of work. Had the tire fixed and all was good; tpms warning light off. Well, that's what i thought. About three days later my brakes started failing as i was driving. There was a loud noise and jerking of the car when i pressed the brakes. I slowed to about 15-20mph and it stabilized the car. I slowed down to a crawl and happened to be a couple of blocks from a dealer which is on my way to work. Got the car there without incident and told them what happened. The result after their inspection and fixing my car was: faulty tpms sensor. According to the dealer, the tpms sensor failed which caused my brakes to go out... What, the tpms sensor is connected to my breaks. So. What your telling me, mr. Dealer, is that if one of four tpms sensors goes out, the brakes on my car will fail. What the hell honda. This is a safety issue as far as i'm concerned. No only did my brakes fail because of the tpms but the dealer charged me $500 to replace this sensor which runs on a battery and is likely to happen at any time x4, because i have four tires. |
