Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem #1

We have a 2007 Jeep/commander sport thats really somewhat a proble since we bought it (used) and its been a problem since getting it. It has a serious problem with lurching forward while in park/drive and while you're pressing the brakes at a stop. It did it at the dealership as well they did nothing about it. We've replaced inner parts to the transmission that Chrysler refused to cover under the warranty. We've had some type of module replaced a couple of times because the truck started running rough( Chrysler covered that) each time it happened. Theres so much we caan complain about this truck and Chrysler doesnt wnat to cover non of the major things. There's definitely /always has been an engine problem.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem #2

Approximately, two months ago, a valve stem on my Jeep tire was corroded and the tip cracked off, causing the sensor to go off on the dash and it was not able to have air put in. I replaced the valve stem at a cost of approximately $80. 00. Just this past week, the same thing happened on another tire. . . The top of the valve stem cracked off and I am not able to put air in the tire. I'm sure it's only a matter of time until the same thing happens with the other valve stems on the other two tires.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem #3

Tire pressure monitor continues to go off for no reason. Check all tires and they are inflated properly at 35 psi (spare too). The Jeep Commander has been in 8 times to two dealers with no avail. They replaced the receiver module and 2 sensors (or at least they told me they did) and still continue to get tire pressure monitor warning on the dash of the Jeep. Issue occurs sporadically, but mainly on the highway driving 70 mph. Incident date is inaccurate as selected below as this has happen numerous times of the past year/year and half.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem #4

The "service tire pressure system" light comes on. I have brought the car back to the dealer 7-8 times for the same problem and have complained to Jeep. I bring it in for service and they perform whatever new fix they conjure up and it sometimes will stop for a week or two then come right back on, it once came back on while driving home from the dealer. I also have a friend with the same vehicle who has the exact same problem. The tire pressure system has read faulty tire pressures as well that come and go and can change dramatically in just 5 minutes. I am currently driving on my spare due to a low pressure reading and when I went to put air in my tire, I tried to unscrew the plastic on the valve and half the valve crack off. I now have the spare on and while a portable tire gauge reads 35 the tire pressure system in the car reads 19.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem #5

Engine failure/stall/loss of power on 2007 Jeep Commander. Has happened about 6 times now. Sometimes at low speeds. . . Sometimes on the freeway. Started happening around 15,000 miles. Dealer tried to replicate it. They said they could not. So they have done nothing to fix it. I have told them about it 3 times. Now it has happened again at 39,000 miles and on the freeway. I lost control and it became an extremely dangerous situation as I tried to coast over to the emergency shoulder. Temporary brake power lost and no response to the attempts to start it in neutral. Please help! started in 2007 and continues to happen in 2009. I have not been notified of any recalls or tsbs. I own the vehicle.
