CarComplaints.com Notes: Honda redesigned the CR-V for the 2007 model year to kick off the 3rd-generation of the popular SUV. Unfortunately that redesign came with malfunctioning door locksand shoddy tires that wear out fast.
Light came on again and will not go off. Tires are at correct pressure. Owners manual says that this light (TPMS) indicates the system is no longer functioning. This light also indicates that the VSA cannot be turned off even if necessary. It also indicates the tire pressure monitoring system is no longer monitoring tire pressures. Either situation is a safety problem.
Not really sure when it began, but went to a Honda dealer to have it checked. I was told it would cost about $100 a tire to replace the sensor for each tire. I asked if would hurt to drive with the light on and was told no only wouldn't know when my tire was low. I just told the guy for $400 or more I could look at my tires to see if low or not!
It is just that the light is on all the time and sometimes bugs me when checking the dash warnings.
So far, I have left my car at the shop for 1 day and got charged $55 to have them turn off the light. They told me my tires were low, that's all. I do not believe that. A week later when I drove my car more than 3 miles, the TPMS light came back on. I checked my tire pressure; all fine. Now, I am going back to shop again. I will tell them about a possible software update I read about online- TSB #14-006. Am hoping this fixes the problem. I will update this report after my next shop visit.
