“My 2008 Subaru Legacy has no manual reset button for the tire pressure monitoring system. We change out tires up here 2 times a year and the dealer charges us $50.00 each time to reset this system. When this was passed in to law,why didn't it have a reset on it for this type of thing. I can see where a lot of the drivers will just ignore it and let the light glow or burn out. Also the tire valve stems are expensive(35.00 each) I can see a lot of people not replacing them or taking them out of the rims in the future. This is a bad law with monetary loss to the consumer as usual....”
