Service tire pressure system.
I took my car to the recall to get the reflash in may of last year. When the winter came I tried using my 4 wheel drive and the "service 4 wheel drive" error. Fix this!.
The metal valve stem of the tire pressure monitoring system corrodes where it passes through the wheel and results in unexpected sudden loss of tire pressure. Amber tpms warning light comes on and vehicle is immediately difficult to control/steer. Once vehicle is stopped, air can be heard and felt escaping from valve stem area on wheel and one can watch the tire continue to deflate. This has happened twice on my vehicle at highway speeds: 01-2009 at 111,000 and 05-2013 at 219,000.
My 2006 Jeep Commander has had a number of defects. The most costly has been that it leaks when it rains or goes through a car wash. I have had the sunroof clean out and the problems "fixed" in September but it has begun leaking again. When the vehicle had 38,000 miles on it I had to have the bearings in the driverside front wheel replaced costing me over 300. 00 dollars. My mechanics informed me that the vehicle was to young to be having this part replaced. I'm just currently waiting for something else to go bad on my "young" vehicle.
