NHTSA Complaint #11413908 — 2018 SUBARU FORESTER

THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR CAME ON AND EVEN AFTER THE TIRES WERE CHECKED AND CORRECT AIR WAS PUT IN THE SENSOR WOULD NOT GO OFF. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $170.00 TO REPLACE ONE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS THEY SAID WERE FAULTY. NEITHER MY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT. MY HUSBAND THEN PURCHASED A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR AND TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT, WHICH HAVE COST A TOTAL OF $40.00. THE MECHANIC PUT IT ON THEIR COMPUTERS AND COULDN'T IDENTIFY A BAD SENSOR, BUT SOMETHING SHOWING WRONG IN ONE OF THE COMPUTERS READING THE SENSOR. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND TRY TO GET THIS RECTIFIED. IF IT IS A COMPUTER THEN I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WE CAN NOT GET AN ACCURATE READING AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS STAYING LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD.
