Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem #1

Tire pressure monitoring system: there is no customer reset for this federal mandated device on my 2009 Subaru Legacy. I have to pay $50. 00 each time to have it reset at the dealer when I change tires in the spring and fall. Thanks a lot for this fix that was not thought out by my elected representatives. . . . This needs fixed for all of the drivers out there.
