The tire pressure light comes on - often after driving 8 - 10 miles. Then, it will go off for a while - then it will go on again. I check the pressure in all 4 tires - says it is OK.

I called Subaru. They said to fill it to 35 psi - all 4. The recommended pressure is 32 and 30.

Another dealer - said to ignore it. They have this problem all the time.

I know that driving with over or under inflated tires is not good. What should I do?
