 tire pressure monitor fault
hi all
my first post here .i have an 08 escape hybrid,my first new car.all in all i paid 35k for it in oct 07 ,and i wish i wouldve just stuck to 4and 5 yr old cars.first of all im not gettin 34 mpg city,more like 27 it is colder here on L.I.,N.Y. so ill wait and see
i took the car in for the 2nd oil change and a tire rotation at the dealers recomondation at 6000 miles they also pumped the air up to around 44psi .i took the car to fla. where the" tire pressure monitor fault " alarms and displays started going off, stopped the car ,no flats , so continued my vacation. all the way up the east coast it would go off intermittently.i took it to the dealer where they said "too much air" in tires ,yeah "well your guy put it in " so they set it to 35 psi where the alarm has been going off everyother day any way.. back to the shop for a whole day only to be told they cant do anything unless it is actively going off and they can see it . i wasnt happy .i told them ive read up on this problem and that they should remove each tire and inspect each sensor ( (which each one is battery powered ,and costs $300 per tire, every 5 years! aint that a pissa!) dealer said he cant afford to do that and insisted i bring it back when alarm is sounding , the chances of me beingin the area when this thing sounds are like hitting the lottery. i got a call into ford customer service...p.s. the key also lost its memory and left me unable to start the car had to call a flat bed little did i know my wifes key wouldve started the piece of shit...any helpful comments would be appreciated ray |
