Last week, the car had a flat. Not a problem you say, well, the Touring model comes standard with the Michelin PAX system (read run flat tire system).
The car had to be taken to the Dealer which is one of the few authorized by Michelin to repair/replace the PAX System. It took FOUR hours for them to repair the flat. This was due in part to the specialized equipment necessary (Michelin), properly trained personnel and materials.
If you have this system in your Touring and didn't buy the Road Hazard Insurance be prepared to pay around $130.00 on each occurrence for a simple flat tire.
I give one thing to Michelin though, The PAX System works! :) We tested it at 50 miles/h for over 60 miles drive with no major problems. Is the excessive repair prices and the poor support network which I believe is reason enough to complaint about.
