Tire Pressure Monitoring System problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Impala

2003 Chevrolet Impala. Consumer writes in regards to ignition switch recall repairs issues. The consumer also stated the check engine, abs and tire pressure light was on. Also, there was a click in the steering wheel when turning it, the vehicle had an oil leak, freon was leaking from the vehicle. .

My 2003 chevy Impala has a feature for showing low tire pressure. 1st time my tire was below 20 lbs with a nail in it and low tire pressure did not show. I took it to dealership. They could not find anything wrong with it. 2nd time my tire had a blow-out in the side wall. While running on a flat tire, the low tire pressure did not show. I replaced the flat tire with the spare and when I drove off with the spare, the low tire pressure showed. It is a good thing the 2nd time with the blow out and flat tire: a. It was on the back wheel and it did not affect my driving and on a slow city street. B. It was not on my front tire , where it would have affected my driving and I was not on a freeway, where I may have been killed from it. To me, this is a defect in the 2003 chevy Impala that could cause an accident and death. The consumer stated there was a 3/4 inch hole in the middle of the sidewall. Updated 09/26/07.
