Prius (2004-09) :: Slip Warning Light Over About 15 Mph With Spare Tire
I had a flat today and put on the spare. Over about 15 mph I got the Slip Warning light and the system was limiting my speed. Is there a button or something to disable the system so I can drive at normal speeds? From other postings it seems not. Is there anything else I should be doing???

I love my new 2006 Phaeton (white/beige) and have been trouble-free so far for first 2 months of ownership (12,000 miles) but now I get a Spare Tire Pressure Warning every time I start the car, that now stays on when I drive around. I don't even know where the spare tire is! It did just recently get cold in Chicago area suburbs, but I keep my car in the garage at all times.

I have a large puddle of water under the spare tire. This happened a couple of months ago and I took the car to the dealership. They said it was a seam above the rear tail light that wasn't properly sealed. They re-sealed. I checked it every couple of weeks and no water but heavy rain over the past few days (car sitting) I decided to check again and there is more water than previously noticed. It looks like it's dripping down the side of the spare-wheel area.
First noticed at 1300KM now again @ 17000 KM Elantra 2013 GT GLS....
Golf/GTI VI :: Spare Tire Will Cause TPMS Light?

I have a non resonated exhaust and when I get on the gas, the spindle that holds down the spare tire in the hatch rattles like crazy. It is so loud. I have tried removing the spare tire and also removing the cap that holds down the spare tire. Nothing works.

I have water in my Jetta's tail lights and its really annoying. I just had them both out on the weekend and checked out the foam gaskets and they were both fine but i replaced them with an older pair I had that looked in even better shape but basically the same condition...
Rained pretty hard last night and now there is like more water in them then before... I made sure I tightened them down good because they were not that tight when I originally took them off.
There is water condensation in my spare tire well and making my carpet wet and starting to fog up my rear windows..
Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Triangle With Exclamation Point Warning Light
2014 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T FWD / 16,000 miles. All fluids full / up-to-date
On two occasions we've had a warning light appear that is not the CEL. It's a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle of it. The first time, my wife called and told me about it and it only appeared for a few minutes and disappeared. I checked the codes and there were none--that was several months ago.
The second time it happened (a few weeks ago), I was driving on an interstate at 70 mph with the cruise control on. The aforementioned indicator light appeared for about two minutes and disappeared. I immediately called Hyundai Bluelink (within a minute) and asked them to look at the code history and they advised they couldn't see any indication of malfunctions. They further advised that indicator meant that maintenance was needed and that I should make an appointment with the dealer. I pushed them for more info, but the operator remained vague about what maintenance my Santa Fe required.
Why does it only illuminate for a few minutes?
Lexus ES 2013+ :: Tire Pressure Warning Set Up
Any way I can set up the tire pressure warning to come on at 27psi or so? I want to set the tires at 30psi for a more comfy ride and not have the warning light on. Don't care about mileage. Want the cushy Lexus ride.

I have a full size factory spare tire in the trunk and my TPMS is constantly saying the tire is flat or whatever, of course it's not, and of course I've set the correct tire pressure and of course I've recalibrated the system to no avail. I get an exclamation point on the screen for that tire only.
I want to disable monitoring of that tire ONLY. It does me no good since I have aftermarket rims/tires anyway so a flat means bad news for me right now. I don't need to have that spare monitored until I get an aftermarket 5 rim (which probably won't fit in that space anyway.
Elantra GD (2013+) :: Low Tire Pressure Warning Light Was On
So here in the Northeast, we are under a deep freeze. This morning I came out (4 degrees) and my "warning low tire pressure" light was on. I got out and the tires looked fine. I have no gage. I stopped and put a little air in anyway and still was on. I also was having new tires put on today and I picked the car up and thel ight is still on. I drove away from Mavis without realizing this. But, the tires are all inflated and I am sure they inflated to factory specs. Maybe the TPMS needs to be reset? Is there a way to reset the light? I didn't see it in the manual on how to do it.

My VW Rabbit (2007) has water in the spare tire well (under hatchback floor); under the floor mats in the back (passenger side has puddled up over the floor mat); appears to have water inside the driver side wall (seat belts are damp and have mildew); appears to have water leaking from under the passenger side onto the ground (backseat end).
This is not a case of windows or sun roof having been left open. Nor have I driven through a flooded area of significance. Last year the rear-passenger-side of this car was destroyed in a 50mph hit by an SUV and insurance co. chose to have it repaired rather than total....

View 4 RepliesLexus LS 2007+ :: Benefit Of Rotating Passenger Tires With Spare Tire
According to the manual the driver's side tires get rotated with each other so the two tires always stay on that side. The passenger tires get rotated with the spare tire. So those 3 get rotated with each other. I fail to see the benefit of this other than making the tires on the passenger side last longer.
But I would always replace all the tires at the same time so don't see any benefit. When the driver's side needs tires I would replace the passenger side also. And the drawback is I will need to buy 5 tires instead of 4 when it is time to replace them. I am thinking don't allow the spare to be in the rotation tire service.
Yukon :: 2002 XL Denali 1500 - Spare Tire Carrier Replacement
I have an '02 XL Denali 1500. The spare tire carrier was broken (cable had snapped) prior to me buying it. As best I can find, the part number for it is: 15026912. I'm curious if any of the newer designs (such as part# 25974845) would fit. 2 reasons I'm asking,
1) the newer ones supposedly keep the tire from falling on the road if the cable were to break, and
2) they're cheaper than the original part number.
Living where road salt snacks on vehicles for 6 or 7 months out of the year has yielded no luck in finding a functional one by checking with the local salvage yards.
Right now the spare sits in the back, which is fine most of the time, but it takes up a good amount of space when packing for trips.
Nissan - Murano :: Unknown Cable Attached To Spare Tire Mount
2005 Nissan Murano. There is a cable attached to the spare tire mount that is located under the flooring inside the hatch part of the vehicle. What is it for? I have been told it's related to the speaker system and also told it's related to the tire pressure sensor system. (I thought those sensors were part of the wheels themselves.)
