TIRES

3 complaints

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SENSOR INDICATES A LOW TIRE PRESSURE CONDITION IN THE TIRE, OTHERWISE UNNOTICABLE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC TIRE FAILURE IF YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH OUT CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE - ESSENTIALLY YOU CAN BE DRIVING AROUND WITH A FLAT TIRE, AND DUE TO THE EXTENDED MOBILITY RUN FLAT TIRES HAVING NO DIFFERENT HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS WHEN FLAT VERSES PROPERLY INFLATED YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT, AND IF YA GO FAST ENOUGH, COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FOR SURE - THE PART I NEED TO FIX IT, THE LEFT FRONT LTPWSYSTEM SENSOR, HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED/IS UNAVAILABLE FROM CHEVROLET, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, ANYONE ELSE - THEY SAY TO JUST DRIVE THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THE 'CHECK LTPWS SYS' LIGHT COMES ON CONTINUOUSLY, AND I AM NOT SURE THAT THIS SENSOR DOES NOT INTERACT IN SOME WAY WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, ALL IN ALL CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN MY HUMBLE OPINION- I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HENNA ON THIS SINCE JUNE '99 WITH NO END IN SIGHT - THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT STORY AS TO THE PART EVERY TIME I TALK WITH THEM - HAL MATHEWS THE PARTS MANAGER TRIES TO BE HELPFULL, BUT GM IS JUST STONEWALLING HIM - ALL OF THE OTHER SENSORS ARE AVAILABLE, (IE RIGHT FRONT, REAR, LEFT REAR) I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM HENNA IN 1995, AND I BELIEVE THAT GM NOT PRODUCING OR MAKING THIS PART AVAILABLE COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY FATAL CONSEQUENCES TO THE DRIVER OF A HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR LIKE A CORVETTE WHICH IS DESIGNED FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVING, BY CAUSING A TIRE TO LITERALLY EXPLODE FROM THE HEAT PRODUCED FROM DRIVING IT AT SPEEDS WITH THE TIRE FLAT AND THE DRIVER CANNOT TELL IT FROM THE CARS HANDLING - A TIRE EXPLOSION LIKE I MENTION AT SPEED WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE VERY POSSIBLY, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT/ AND OR INJURY - I JUST THOUGHT THIS MATTER SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION, AND MAYBE YOU CAN DO SOME THING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION, I DONT BELIEVE I SHOULD JUST IGNORE THE LIGHT, AND I AM NOT GOING TO JUST FORGET ABOUT IT I NR).
