TPMS is one of the stupidest requirements on record. In the late 1990's, Ford put Firestone dueler tires on their Explorer SUVs and recommended that drivers inflate their tires to a whopping 26PSI. Over the 1990's several hundred explorer drivers had a rollover event resulting in a fatality. The same firestone tires were OEM equipment on several other vehicles including Nissans and Toyotas. None of those vehicles with the same tires killed people at close to the same rate. Enter in the National Highway Traffic Safety administration who decided that "something had to be done" and in 2008, they required that all motor vehicles have this idiot system installed. All for a bunch of rollovers that were due to Ford's negligent product support and engineering on their cars. In a sane world, Ford would be punished for recommending 26psi on a vehicle that is driven 80 mph on hot freeways and that would be the end of it. Since NHTSA is a useless agency with anti mobility crusaders, we are stuck with a screaming amber dash light if a sensor is "broken" and a system that neither informs or assists a driver who properly maintains the vehicle while remaining on because of a sensor failure. So, what we have instead is an orange light even when tires are 32 lbs all the way.

I had a 5-Speed ‘91 ford exploder. Got rid of it in 2003 I really liked it but clear coat failed after 4.5 years. Wrote ford and was told nothing they could do to help. Vowed to not own another. It’s ashamed

TPMS light just started showing up intermittently on my ‘05 Pilot and was mentioned a “Plug”? could be intalled? Maybe @cnelson0641 will elaborate. Thanks!

I would pass on this 2006 Pilot since the odometer has been tampered with and the real mileage might be double 160K. The car is worth no more than $2000. I own an immaculate 2005 with original 145,000 miles on the car. In the past year, I have changed the Timing Belt, new calipers, rotors, pads, brake hoses all around, replaced transmission fuild, new alternator, replaced overhead interior lights, new hood lock sensor, new tires, new battery, etc. totaling about $5,000 in repairs, in hopes I can get another 50,000 miles out of the car without the transmission failing. Don’t buy the 2006.

Ohhhhhh… you will get many more than just 50k
I’ve got 2005 which just hit 233,100 miles on her. Shifts smooth as butter but does have a little wobble at a certain rpm and speed range. I don’t think it is transmission related as I once thought it might be.

What kind of wobble are you talking about? I may have the same thing.. It happens at 75-80.

Mine is around 60 mph. Will be Updating my previous thread.
