TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE RIMS LEAKED, CAUSING THE TIRES TO GO FLAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE RIMS. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO CHECKED TIRES AND DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM. DEALER RESET/RECALIBRATED TPMS BY PRESSING BUTTON. DROVE CAR FOR ANOTHER 300 MILES AND TPMS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. PERSONALLY CHECKED PRESSURE IN ALL TIRES WITH A MANUAL TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE. ALL FOUR TIRE PRESSURES WERE WITHIN SPEC AT 33 PSI. I RESET/RECALIBRATED THE TPMS BY PRESSING BUTTON. READ ON THE INTERNET THAT OTHER 2014 HONDA CR-V OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE TPMS WARNING CAN NOT BE RELIED ON BECAUSE IT GIVES FALSE INDICATIONS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TPMS ON THE 2014 HONDA CR-V IS AN INDIRECT SYSTEM. THERE ARE NO ACTUAL PRESSURE SENSORS. IT USES THE WHEEL SPEED/ROTATION SENSORS TO DETERMINE WHEN THERE IS A TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTER INDICATES A PROBLEM BASED ON DIFFERENT SPEEDS/ROTATION OF THE WHEELS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE SENSORS ARE THE PROBLEM OR IF IT IS THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE. *TR
