Personally, I wouldn't sign up, if these companies won't use parts that last more than three months.
After yet another failure, identified in my previous threads ( "Tire Pressure Monitor Service Required" Error Message and That TPMS issue, summarized ) it has failed again.
The "new" unit which he sold me was actually dirtier than the one I removed from my car and cleaned up. But he promised me it was new... "Maybe it had been installed, and it was determined that was not the reason for the someone's failure so it was removed."
Three months later, the error message returns. Nice quality. These are the guys who are going to send someone to Mars?
I called the service center on a Thursday. Had to leave a message at 4:15 pm, I was rather upset... It's now Tuesday, and they haven't called me back. Good thing I wasn't stuck on the side of the road waiting for a callback.
The other day I was talking to a friend as he was standing next to his model S. I mentioned that I was going to go look for a larger four door car because I needed something bigger. He pointed to his car and smiled big.
I told him, not just no, but HELL NO.
And this was the guy who had three cabin blowers replaced in his Roadster in one summer. Yet he thinks the sun shines out of... Fill in the rest.
I now own a Lexus ES350. Certified program car.
Do I sound pissed? Good. If they would spend an extra $5 on something like this to make the car appear reliable, I wouldn't be telling everyone I know about all the issues I've had. Seems a small price to pay for satisfying your customers, rather than hitting them for hundreds of dollars over and over for bad parts. But instead they seem to have that Chevrolet philosophy I experienced in the 80's: Build it with garbage, make a profit, and find another sucker who was born a minute later. I will never buy another Chevy either, but that's not a topic for this forum
I am going to restart my reverse engineering of this system. I got distracted after the new year. I may just build a phony emulator that tells the master unit everything is Okay, and then disable the antennas.
I feel better now...
