I for one want inexpensive transportation and vehicles that are simple to diagnose and repair. This country needs vehicles like this but when they are made as they are at this time and the example below crops up then there is an issue.
he couldn't turn off the "check tire pressure" light after fixing a 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis because he lacked the roughly $1,000 tool to reset the tire pressure monitor
I very much think there needs to be a modern day peoples vehicle a step or two above the Tata Nano but similar.
Just another way to force you to go to the dealer instead of being able to do things yourself or go to a cheaper mechanic.
ReplyDeleteTPMS, single biggest pain in the ass I deal with every day. It is no wonder that many Americans just don't have the ability to think critically anymore. Christ I had a customer come in the other day and ask me what to do because the TPMS light was on on his Chevrolet. I asked him,"have you checked the pressure on all of the tires" and his reply was can you do that for me, I handed him my TP gage and he looked at it like it was Kryptonite and said" so now what do I do"? me, face palm. The odd thing is he was not the least bit embarrased. These are the same people who cannot get their heads around health care.
