Relying on technology is fine until it lets you down. Like I've said earlier, engineers will make anything more complicated than it has to be because the person who drew up a specification never really thought it through in the first place. Keeps things a lot more expensive as well. Now, so many people have to have road repair plans, many cannot even change a flat tire (yeah I know we don't have a spare, its just an example of how dependent we are on others to 'fix' things). So, check your tire pressure manually, the monies you save ditching this crappy expensive TPMS system we all got stuck with, could pay for a few other things more necessary than this badly designed system.
