The auto pilot was inadvertently 'nudged' off by the senior pilot that was supposed to be the flying pilot while the second pilot was supposed to monitor the instrument panel gauges while the third officer would be left to troubleshoot and determine if the light bulb burned out or a wheel didn't extend and lock. Three pilots, a senior pilot, second pilot and third, flight engineer were too busy looking, troubleshooting and attempting to diagnose why one of the landing gear lights didn't turn on to indicate each wheel was down and locked prior to landing. One case determined that pilots were in error that caused the deaths of everyone on one flight that was on its final approach to a landing - no one was flying the airplane during a prolonged distraction. There's a wonderful discovery channel about aircraft accidents and crashes that are well documented long after the NTSB determined what caused a specific airplane to land somewhere other than at designated airports. Here's another view on losing perspective: To put this into another perspective relative to car ownership and possibly dwelling too much on minutiae while losing sight of the reason for tire pressure monitoring with or without the bells and whistles. A tire that's up to specified pressure (not low), not displaying correctly or fails to display, is an original sensor beyond new car warranty with tires replaced at least once, is probably about a worn out sensor battery. Perhaps its time for some to return to the old ways while adopting simple troubleshooting one way for anyone with tpms and possible problems with battery depletion - use a tire pressure gauge. Sensors are warranted to last at least thru a new car warranty and then its the owners problem. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.TPMS - another owner issue on top of failure of some owners neglecting periodic tire pressure checks. N/A indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems.
To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.
Based on this data and further analysis, we predict reliability for the latest year. Extra weight is given to the more serious areas such as major engine or transmission problems. The results are presented relative to the average model that year.
Consumer Reports subscribers reported on any serious problems they had with their vehicles during the past 12 months that they considered serious because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime, in any of the trouble spots included in the table below. The reliability charts are based on responses on hundreds of thousands of vehicles from our latest Annual Auto Survey.
