I am NOT pooh-poohing mechanics here. I really think that most people, including mechanics, DO NOT KNOW WHY the sensors are there. It is a very informative explanation from a University ; ie: not from the manufacturers nor the government. It is the facts.

The cargurus website management is atrocious, and possibly breaking the law: there is NO OPTION to unsubscribe! To stop getting their incessant emails you must mark them spam. To ask a question, AFTER you have carefully worded your question, you must 'join' their whatever in order to send it. I don't want to join such a shaft-it-to-ya outfit. There is no phone number that I have found, but I will continue to search... AND NOW, IN ORDER TO POST HERE YOU HAVE TO 'JOIN' THEIR SUPER PUSHY OUTFIT! But I will do it because I am very annoyed and wish to let them (and YOU!) know what's what! Maybe one of us little sheeple can make a difference? I'm not counting on it... Also, the q&a format will only let us mark a comment as 'helpful' with no possibility to mark unhelpful. How UNHELPFUL and annoying and just plain wrong is that?! PLUS, now I find, after spelling a word wrong in a comment, there is no way to edit my post! Boo, hissss! Shame on you, cargurus!!! Please get it fixed!! 3 Answers
