Consumer Description

MY CAR COMES WITH A TPMS SYSTEM TO MONITOR THE AIR PRESSURE IN EACH TIRE. INTERMITTENTLY THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THE TIRES COMES ON. A CHECK WITH A PRESSURE GAUGE OF EACH TIRE ALWAYS INDICATES A FALSE ALARM. TALKING WITH OTHER SONATA OWNERS I HAVE ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN BRINGING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO ISSUE WHEN THE CAR IS AT THEIR GARAGE. THIS CAN BE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS - 1. THE FALSE ALARM IS DISTRACTING, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS CAN CAUSE THE OPERATOR TO THINK THEY SHOULD PULL OVER IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT TO AVOID HAVING A BIGGER PROBLEM. 2. AFTER IT HAPPENS A COUPLE OF TIMES THE OPERATOR MIGHT IGNORE A REAL PROBLEM. YET THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR
