Description of the problem | Low tire pressure warning light came on along with lcd information that vehicle needed to be taken to dealer for service; something was wrong with the remote tire pressure-sensing system. It took two trips to the dealership, a total of five days, and a lot of time with the mechanic either online or on the telephone with an infinit "hot line" electical specialist to diagnose the problem: one defective tire pressure sensing gauge. Trouble is, the same thing had happened approximately one year ago, when the vehicle was only about two months old. At that time, the dealership was able to diagnose the problem and simply replaced a tire pressure gauge. Problem solved. Why, with this car's previous history, did it take five days and several minds working together to determine that my car was suffering from the exact same problem as a year earlier? |
