1. Wheels / tires
What's wrong, in plain English: A wheel or tire can fail while driving. 138, "TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, (TPMS)." THE TPMS WARNINGS WERE TURNED OFF. IF THE TPMS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT WERE TO SEND A SIGNAL TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO DISPLAY A TPMS WARNING TELLTALE, THE LIGHT WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE NOR WOULD THE SUPPLEMENTARY WARNING TEXT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MESSAGE CENTER BE DISPLAYED.
What could happen: FAILURE TO WARN OF TIRE DEFLATIONS IS A NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 138 AND COULD LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE AND A CRASH.
The fix: DEALERS WILL UPDATE THE CAR CONFIGURATION FILE SETTINGS TO ENABLE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO FLAG THE WARNING SYMBOLS AS REQUIRED BY FMVSS 138 AND ASSOCIATED TEST IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MESSAGE CENTER. THE REMEDY WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE JUNE 8, 2009. OWNERS M…

I took it to the Foreign performance (mechanic shop) on 11-29-23 after the first time and they said they fixed it. It occurred again on 12-8-23. I again threw it into park. I called the shop on 12-11-23 and they agreed to…

OBD2 SCAN SHOWS THAT THE RUN FLAT TIRES ARE NOT BEING PROTECTED BY A LOW INFLATION WARNING THAT HAS BEEN DISABLED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE RECALL #09V161000 IS REVEALED BY THE OBD2 COMPUTER REPORT SAYING THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND PROVIDING THIS INFO. THE MANUFACTURE MAKES CLAIM THERE IS NOT CURRENT RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS CONFIRMED BY NHTSA.
