1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2010

My 2008 Ford Edge has tire pressure monitors which indicates my tire pressure is dangerously low when I change rims and tires to my snow tires twice a year. When I purchased the tires from les schwab tires I was assured that they where able to reset this system if necessary. Apparently this is not the case and the system must be reset by a Ford service. Last year Ford reset the system which takes about one minute, when I brought my car in for 5000 mile service. . This year I was told by lake city Ford in coeur d alene, id when I brought my car in for service that there is a $24. 95 charge to reset the tpm's. Knowing human nature it is my belief that if the consuming public has to pay $25 twice a year to reset the system the advantage of having tpm will not be of any benefit since most people will simply not have the system reset and ignore dash board warnings of potential tire failure. This is not in the best interest of public safety and potentially very dangerous. A safety system so important and a one minute reset process to reset it does not seem logical to discourage it's benefits by changing $24. 95.
