NHTSA Complaint #11195450 — 2018 HONDA CR-V

DRIVING MY CAR. HEARD A NOISE, STOPPED AS SOON AS I COULD. PROBABLY ABOUT 1.5 MILES. I HAD A FLAT. IT WASN'T ONE OF THOSE BIG FLAT TIRES YOU GET AND YOU KNOW IT WITHIN 10 SECONDS. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. AS SOON AS THE SPARE TIRE WAS PUT ON, THE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT A NEW TIRE AT THE CLOSEST TIRE PLACE. IT WASN'T THE SAME MANUFACTURER, BUT IT WAS THE SAME TIRE SPECIFICATIONS, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE EXACT TIRE. I'VE DONE THAT MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, WITH NO PROBLEM. WELL, THE TIRE PRESSURING SYSTEM LIGHT KEPT GOING ON. I KEPT RESETTING IT AND IT WOULD GO ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY RESET IT. 10 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER AS I WAS DRIVING, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THE EXACT TIRE, AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY NEW TIRE. I DID THAT. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE TIRE LIGHT (TPMS) WAS ON AGAIN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO BE RESET AGAIN, AND THAT IT SHOULD BE RESET 3 TIMES REALLY FAST. (IS THIS IN THE MANUAL? IS THIS A REAL THING?) IT HASN'T COME BACK ON. WHAT CONCERNS ME, IS THE SAFETY OF DRIVING WITH A FLAT OR LOW TIRE PRESSURE WITH NO WARNING. AND IT'S SCARY DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON EVERY 10 MINUTES. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN THERE'S A REAL EMERGENCY? IF A WARNING LIGHT DOESN'T COME COME ON WITH A FLAT, WHEN IS IT SUPPOSED TO COME ON? WHEN YOU DON'T PUT ON AN EXACT MATCHING TIRE? WHEN YOU DON'T RESET IT 3 TIMES REALLY FAST? 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT HAD TO BE BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES IN A 2 WEEK TIME SPAN.
