Consumer checked tire pressure, because light is falsely illuminating. Light illuminates when tire pressure is at 4 pounds low, and the manual states that the light should only be illuminate at 12 lbs low. Consumer questions that if GM knew these cars contained defective modules, why were customers not sent recall letters, will she ever feel comfortable again w/ the icons on the dashboard & thier accuracy, if the tire icon illuminates while driving and a rate of 75 mph on a sparsely populated highway.
