My problem is with the low tire warning system. My issue is that you cannot manually reset this warning light as with other cars. I have had to take my car to the dealer twice in the last 12 months for them to properly inflate/reset the system. All my tires were properly inflated except for the spare. Myself and Firestone auto care could not get the warning light to go away. Finally, after months of having the warning light on, I was able to take the car to the dealer and they properly reset all the tires including the spare and the warning light finally went off. Seems like a ploy to get you to go to the dealer. The dealer indicated that they have had a lot of those issues due to the changes in the temperature. If all the tires are properly inflated, the warning light can still go off if because your spare tire may be low. This is a safety issue to me as you may not know that you really have a low tire that could affect driving. If the light is already on due to a low spare tire, and a regular tire goes low, one would have no way of knowing as the light is already on.
