Anyone experiencing problems with TPS? I just got a brand new '09 3, GT, HB, and on the first day (a Saturday) that I drove it, the TPS light came on, and two trips to the dealer have led me nowhere - as they believe it is a "temperature thing." I am taking it back again tomorrow. (Not the best way to get started with Mazda and/or dealer, who told me they could not give me a loaner, because the service department was closed and Sales did not have access (yeah, right) to loaner keys. Also, the same THREE salesmen that were my "best friends" when during the sales process, were suddenly hit with amnesia when I returned twice with the TPS problem.)  Any feedback about the TPS in general would be appreciated. Thanks

They should come with a big label that says: not suitable for winter driving. Of course the dealer will not tell you that. I replaced mine with Michelin Exalto all season tires and the driving experience is so much better. And safer. |

Last night the temp went down again and the TPMS went on again. _3degrees. If i leave the car in the garage the TPMS never goes on,whatever it falls to. I'm going to pull it. If they are going to have that whistle at least they could indicate which tire. I froze my butt off.

I have a 2005 Mazda3 4 door that is leased. The lease matures in July and the tires that are on it need to be replaced. I don't want to put new tires on it because of the cost (and I won't be driving it anymore) so I'm looking to buy some used ones that will pass the "test" to be turned back into the dealer. Live in South Central TN so shipping is a concern as well. Thanks.

Replying to: joem5 (Mar 18, 2009 1:10 pm) Yes, when you lease and turn the vehicle in there is a requirement on how much tread has to be on the tires. I only have 40K miles on the car and the tires they put on are already bald. Piece of crap, really sorry I got this car...should have kept my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Will check Tirewarehouse before ordering though, thanks.
