This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2008 Kia Sportage. The contact stated that the tire pressure monitor illuminated. The dealer changed the control panel sensor, but the failure persisted. They stated that they could not correct the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000 and current mileage was 60,000.
We have a new 2008 Kia Sportage. The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) comes on intermittently, four times in 10,000 miles. We have had to take the car back to the dealer on two occasions to have the light turned off. It went off by itself on the other two occasions. The dealer says the TPMS system is new and we should not worry about it. They also stated it happens frequently on other models, not just our vehicle. I believe this could be a safety hazard and should be investigated. How are we supposed to now if we really have low tire pressure?
