#12 of 51 TPMS problems by cubillas Oct 19, 2007 (8:03 pm)
Bought a Veracruz GLS 2008. Since day one, the TPMS (Tire Pressure) warning light (!) turns on when I drive. It will flicker, and then stay lit, turning off during the drive and then sometimes turning back on. I've brought into the dealership for service, and they couldn't detect anything wrong with the tires, and reset the TPMS module. However, the warning light (!) continues to turn on and off. Is this safe to drive?

Replying to: cubillas (Oct 19, 2007 8:03 pm) My Veracruz limited AWD TPMS also comes on and off.I have checked the tire pressure and always make sure they are at 32. The dealer said they get hot and go past 3 lbs,over set pressure, the sensor will go on. It is safe to drive, it is just annoying.

Replying to: jrsactown (Oct 30, 2007 6:33 pm) If the dealer said the TPMS comes on when over-pressure, I think he is incorrect. My car came with 47psi, the TPM never came on. (or my TPM just dont work)    There have also been numerous reports here that many peoples cars were delivered over pressure, not once did I see anyone mention the TPM on.
#16 of 51 Tire Pressure by 1trulove Nov 04, 2007 (4:29 am)
I know the owner's manual recommends 30 psi in the tires and that the maximum inflation pressure on the tires says 44 psi. Also, it is dangerous and un-economical to have under inflated tires (less than 30 psi). The question is... What happens between 30 psi and 44 psi? Has anyone tried running at, say, 36 psi? According to what I've read, the tires should run cooler, give better mileage, last longer, but give a slightly harsher ride and less traction. Some drivers (of other cars) say it improved road feel. If you try other tire pressures, please post your results here.

Replying to: cubillas (Oct 19, 2007 8:03 pm) My 2007 SE had the same problem; dealer replaced all four tires/wheels, reset the units; to no avail. Finally they determined that the problem was associated with a bad sensor, one of the sensors mounted up in the wheel well. Each TPM has its own sensor mounted above the wheel well somewhere. Once they replaced the sensor, no problem and that was 4 weeks ago. Replies to this message: whenindowt (Nov 09, 2007 3:39 pm)

Replying to: jmaulsby (Nov 05, 2007 9:28 am) My tire pressure light is now showing 3 sensors. How long did the dealer make you leave the car? I'm just wondering if I could do the waiting room thingy to just have them replace the sensors and get out.
#19 of 51 Snow tires by ajm25 Nov 30, 2007 (10:26 am)
Does anyone have thoughts on whether I need to get snow tires for my new Veracruz Limited? I had thought that the all seasons it is equipped with would do the job, but we do get a fair bit of snow in my region of Canada.

Replying to: ajm25 (Nov 30, 2007 10:26 am) I say: GET THE TIRES!!!     It is a hefty investment...but in the long run, you'll save. First of all, when driving in winter, you'll save your All-season tires the wear & tear from spinning and all. Second, think about your insurance premium going up because of a minor fender-bender that could have been avoided if you only had invested in winter tires...and thirdly, safety to you, your family and others on the road.      I will never drive a car without winter tires again! 18" are very expensive...so was my VC.   AWD is good for "going", what's stopping you? All-season tires? Gimme a break.   Actually, its a good excuse for buying nice wheels for the VC next summer, I mounted the winter tires on the stock wheels and will buy nice summer wheels for my all-seasons.

Replying to: becyk (Dec 03, 2007 3:06 pm) Thanks for that, I likely will go ahead, although I suspect the summer wheels may be a hard sell with my wife. Replies to this message: becyk (Dec 03, 2007 7:16 pm)
