I have a cracked tire pressure monitor. I found this out when I went to add air after the dash light came on. The monitor light did go off after air was added. Does anyone know if this is okay to…Continue

I know this has been discussed already but I am frustrated. I bought a used smart December 2010. It runs great. The blower motor has died and it is only 8 degrees out and snowing. I have an…Continue

I have had the same problem, they are silver anodized aluminum sleeve nuts that hold the TPM to the inside of the wheel. I had a white knuckle moment when the nut split and I experienced a sudden pressure loss in the front left tire at 100 kph! Don'…

Hi I have the same problem. I bought my Smart used with a semi warranty( some things covered) What I do is put it in drive, go forward an inch then it will shift into reverse every time. I also found that the hotter out it gets, the more it won't sh…

TPM Cracked

I have a cracked tire pressure monitor. I found this out when I went to add air after the dash light came on. The monitor light did go off after air was added. Does anyone know if this is okay to drive with a crack one? I got prices of 4 monitors for $399.00. I told the place I need only one but they don't sell them separately. Air seems to be staying in the tire fine.

$8? That is terrible! I use 89 octane and mine seems to run just fine on it. No knocking etc. I have a 2008 Smartie.

Great news and smart to get them to hand over the old blower. you can take it to a shop that repairs electric motors and see if they can clean it up and get in into proper working order. next time you will have a waiting spare. installing the blo…

Update: I drove to the dealer today and got the new blower put in. It took them an hour and a half. I was charged $100.00 deductible plus $7.50 sales tax. The new blower works great. I made them give me the old blower too. Now the ground hog says s…

Stay warm... sucks that you've had so much trouble. The Blowers are so easy to install... it is a shame that the part is not on the shelf for you.

Update: The temperature dropped to minus 5 over the weekend so we did not attempt to try and fix the blower. Today I drove to the dealer an hour away at 5 degrees. I told the mechanic what the forum recommended trying to fix it and he did but no luc…

Unfortunately all too often options to a dealer repair are not considered. Many times the problems are repairable by simple steps. I hope you are able to get your blower motor fixed with some help by your son. Keep ups up ... let us know what the…

This is a known issue. The problem is that the commutator on the blower motor armature needs to be cleaned up and the blower motor will work properly. There are several tutorials on: www.smartcarofamerica.com or go to the Evilution websight. The…

Blower Motor died....

I know this has been discussed already but I am frustrated. I bought a used smart December 2010. It runs great. The blower motor has died and it is only 8 degrees out and snowing. I have an appointment Monday at the dealer I bought it from. I have no idea how I will get it there, 1 hour away with out a defrosted windshield. Plus I already have the feeling they will say it doesn't come under the lemon laws nor the extended warranty I bought. I looked it over and don't see blower motor in it.…See More
