It has 155K mile but it still pulls VERY strongly!!! I am VERY surprised. Body is in good shape and the interior is in great shape. I picked it up for $1800

Now for the bad news. After driving the car around for the day, I noticed that the rear right tire was low. RIGHT when I was about to go to get it filled up I noticed that the 4WS light on the dash panel light up. I turned off the car, let it sit for a few minutes, then turned it bad on. The light went away. Then I filled the tire up (only has 12 psi in it

), turned the car back on and the light came on again. I drove the car back home. Let it sit for 30 min, turned the car on and the light was gone. I went to fill it up with gas, turned the car off, filled the car up, turn the car on again and the light is back on.

Anyone have a similar problem like this with 4WS?? Is it bad??? The car handles fine, no unusual noises coming from the car. Any ideas what it could be??

Your help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

4ws is a tricky SOB...my 4ws lights comes on and off at random...when it comes on, i do what you did; turn it off, let it sit a minute, then turn it back on. I have no idea why this happens, and since its not a severe problem, i just deal with it. i've heard MANY people complain of this same problem, so dont worry

My car does that everyonce in a while. I've noticed that when i start my car i hear a click and if i don't hear the click, kinda like something is loading, then the 4WS light is on. I turn my car off then right back on, even if i'm driving at slow speeds and it goes away. My car is under warranty so I'm not worried about it. Made sure all my bases were covered when i bought the little guy.
