Tire valve stem corrosion. Tire valve stems corrode and break off very easily. Lucky for me the valve stem broke off while I was parked and filling the tire and not while I was driving. Could cause serious problem if it happened while driving causing the tire to loose air pressure rapidly. I have researched and found this is a very common problem for my make and model Jeep. I replaced all of my valve stems for safety purposes and they cost $107. 00 with parts, labor and tax at a Jeep dealership. Believe there should be a recall on it due to Jeep knowing about the problem and not doing anything to fix it. Could cause serious injury or death if not taken care of soon.
The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Commander. The contact stated that the tires lost pressure and the aluminum rim stems fractured. The dealer was unable to diagnose or repair the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,000.
I have had two failures in the last three months with the tps tire pressure sensor system resulting in two flat tires at interstate speeds with the loss of one tire completely. The nut that fastens the sensor to the rim has corroded and just crumbled in my hand when attempting to remove it. Is this a common problem, and has there been a recall to repair this defect? have had to call aaa twice to remove and replace tires.
I purchased 4 tires from m. A. Tire center, inc. , 3156 boston rd. , bronx, NY 10469 (718) 655-9863 in the past few months. My front driver tire was purchased in March 2015. After a few weeks my steering wheel started shaking every time I drove the car. I went to pep boys thinking maybe my tires needed to be balanced. The service technician at pep boys showed me what the problem was. The tire was so worn and the treads were gone already. He also showed me where the tire was getting ready to actually bust if I kept driving on it. I was in danger. I went back to the tire store and they tried to sell me another tire for $140. 00. I didn't want to buy another tire since that bad tire was only a month old and was obviously bad from the start. They knowingly sold me a bad tire and put my life at risk. They should have replaced the tire at no charge. Because I'm a woman I feel they took advantage of me by selling e a bad, dangerous tire. I also believe this tire shop is operating illegally and should be closed down. If they're selling bad tires, they shouldn't be in business putting people's lives at risk.
Service tire pressure system.
It seem that the majority / every Jeep Commander or g. Cherokee has gone through one or more rack and pinion replacements. It is difficult to even find a steering rack to replace the defective one. . . As if that will last long. Chrysler needs to address this issue as if there are not enough issues with these newer Jeeps. I will never purchase a 2005 or newer Jeep again! Chrysler has really dropped the ball on this and completely ruined a great name for Jeep and their products. This Jeep is falling apart at not even 80k miles. If I had to pay someone - the dealer /"stealer" to replace all the defective parts I would have to sell my home. I have buckets and buckets of parts (rubber suspension components, ball joints, seized brake components etc etc) and now this. Nothing can be worked on, if you take it apart you better buy a new one. Everything is throw away.
I am the original owner of a 2009 Jeep Commander. In the fall of 2013 I purchased 4 new tires,and was told 2 valve stems were cracked so I had them replaced. On 9/3/14 on the wva turnpike at 70 mph the left rear warning light flashed and then counted down from 40lbs to 5lbs in 10 seconds. I was able to stop on a very narrow berm and called aaa to change the tire. On return home went to the tire store and was told the stem nut (one of the remaining ones) had broken off and the transmitter fell into the tire causing therapid air loss. On inspection on the remaining stem nut it was found to be cracked and split as iit was removed. The crack had corrosion indicating it had been there for some time. I have no doubt it could have broken off at speed. I believe the only reason I was able to keep the car under control was due the failure being a rear wheel. Noted on line other Jeep drivers with similar incidents. Obviously there should have been a safety notification if not an actual recall.
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!.
Tl-the contact owns a 2009 Jeep Commander. The contact stated that the tire became deflated while the vehicle was in motion. The contact stopped and inspected the vehicle, finding that the valve stem was fractured. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they advised him that the tread became worn and separated. The tire pressure monitoring system was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000. The current mileage was approximately 61,000. Kmj.
The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Commander. While driving approximately 65 mph the tire pressure warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stopped the vehicle on the shoulder of the road and noticed that the rear passenger side tire was flat. The contact replaced the tire with the spare tire. The vehicle was taken to a tire shop for diagnostic testing. The technician stated the valve stem pressure sensors on the front passenger side and the front and rear driver side were corroded and had to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 54,550.
While coming to a stop, front right ball joint failed causing lower control arm to pivot downwards with wheel attached. Vehicle came to a stop resting on wheel which was now facing down.
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.
The tire-pressure-monitor system has been defective since the purchase of my Jeep. My Jeep service-center has attempted many times to correct the problem with no success. Since the Jeep tpm system is reporting bogus information, the tpm error messages are useless. Therefore the entire tpm system is useless and not operating as required by the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA), dot. , 49 cfr parts 571 and 585, [docket no. Nhtsa 2005-20586], rin 2127-aj23.
