About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
My 2009 Nissan Frontier came with a full size spare tire that had no sensor for the tire pressure monitoring system. This means that, when I rotated the tires, the tpm system lit up and stayed on. Further, the system will stay on 80% of the time, which is the amount of time that the spare will be on the ground during the life of the tires. It will be in the spare position only 20% of the time. It seems that adding a sensor to the spare should greatly increase safety with only a slight increase in cost per vehicle.
