 Indicator which contols many other components including abs does not work unless all four tires are exactly the same. this indicator controls the tire size and not the pressure as indicated in the sales brochure. the problem is that if you replace just one tire when you have a failure you have to replace all four no matter what the wear on the other three are. otherwise the indicator light will continue to cycle on and off. i did not stop when i really had a flat tire and thus was put in a stranded situation with 2 infants in 103 degree weather. toyota says they are aware of the problem but refuse to correct it. the system will ultimately over correct itself and interfere with other critical components unless every time you change one tire you replace all four. what a maintenance nightmare !( dot number: )
