I've been trying to capture the "--" on the display with my phonecam since the dealer says "no problem found" on something that is 1) a common issue, and 2) intermittent. I think my real solution with my post-purchase experience thus far is to sell the car and buy something imported. GM apparently didn't learn the last time they let quality swirl down the toilet and imports quadrupled their market share.

Tell the dealer it "IS" faulty and replace it. If he doesn't go to a better dealership. Mine didn't even ask any questions...They just replaced it,period!!

I was able to get a pic of the warning. I'm going to print it out on a sheet of plywood and if they give me any lip this time, I'm going to beat them over the head with it. I've got a meeting with the dealership GM tomorrow morning to discuss the service atrocity on my last visit...

Need to get 1 of mine checked, the right rear keeps telling me it is low, but it seems the same as the rest when I check them.

My RF alarm went off the other day. I had just rotated the tires a couple days before that and hadn't had the time to go through that hideous 11 step re-learn. (still haven't) anyway, the readout said 26psi. When I got hom I checked it with my trusty pressure gauge and it was 26. I pumped it back up and it's been right ever since.

Darndest thing. How does a tire just lose 8 pounds instantly for no reason without a massive go flat leak?

My right front was giving me problems, going off and such. I recalibrated and then the right rear went off. I added air and it turned off. Goes off again the next day. I go to check the pressure and it comes back on, stating 38 PSI. weird. I am a few hundred miles from my 10,000 mile service so I think I will tough it out until then.

Weird.

Still love the car, though.
