I told my mechanic to disconnect it-that and the ‘maintenance required’. Scared me the first time it turned on. Toyota. So I knew there was nothing wrong. I change oil regularly and wait for something bad to happen-seldom does.

“Thanks to the TREAD Act, every new car since 2008 comes with a tire pressure monitoring system“

Added to the list of mandated add ons that drive the price of a car up. Cars could cost 15-20,000 dollars less than they do if it wasn’t for all this BS.

It was Fred Upton.

BTW happened in 2000 not 2008.

Saw a lot of problems with those systems when they came out & I still don’t see where they are worth having. Now it looks like they may be more of a detriment than ever.
