The tire pressure sensor started to leak air around the valve stem. When it was removed it was found that the cheap aluminum stem had corroded and the stem in the process of breaking off completely. . If it had broken off driving on the highway, the tire would have deflated immediately and I would be in big trouble. People automatically think that aluminum is a great metal, but it has to be anodized or alloyed to get corrosion resistance. We already had the Jeep hood replaced because of corrosion. There are "marine grade" alloys available, but whether they can be crafted into valve stems,I dunno. I see by the internet, a great industry evolved in providing replacement sensors. What may have been a great idea to develop these devices, I don't see a great idea to having to replace them, what, every 2 or 3 years, at 3 or 4 hundred a pop to preclude blowing out the tire. If they are only good for a couple years, what good are they. I am going to put the old rubber stems in mine !!!! if the gov't LS putting out these silly ass regulations for sensors they should have stipulated them to last at least 10 years, or have required that they be replaced by the mfr on specific schedule.

As I was driving my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee on a highway at approx 70 mph my left rear tire instantly went flat immediately following a low tire pressure indicator. When I stopped my car to check the flat I noticed that the tire valve (tire pressure monitor wheel sensor) was gone. When I changed the tire I realized the pressure sensor fell into the wheel because the threaded nut that holds the sensor in place failed and broke in two causing the tire to loose all its air at once. I checked the retaining nuts on the remaining wheels to discover they were all cracked badly and could fail at any time. I later learned from the dealer that Chrysler has updated the part number to a new rubber valve sensor, and the sensor I have is no longer available. Chrysler knows about the problem but to my surprise has not issued a technical service bulletin or a recall. What if it had been a front tire that went flat causing an accident resulting in injury or death to myself or someone else? I've called Chrysler cust assistance and am working it out with them currently. But from what I've gathered so far they don't see this as a safety issue. To me this is a huge liability issue, and an even bigger safety concern.

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with tpms sensors installed. Apparently, metal caps were installed on the valve stems that oxidated together making their removal impossible without twisting off the valve stem, flattening the tire. I can't even get a replacement tpms valve replacement from Jeep (mopar) because they are on backorder (due to high demand because of problems like this). This creates an unsafe driving situation--I can't check my tire pressure because the cap is frozen on to the stem--if I try to remove it, the stem will break, and there is no supply of tpms replacement parts. These should have never been on the market installed this way-they should have had rubber/plastic caps installed.

I currently drive a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo, and I have been having trouble with the tpms tire valve stem spontaneously breaking causing rapid deflation. So far two have broken, but fortunately the car was not moving on both occasions. It appears the valves broke due to corrosion. My concern is that this may occur at a high rate of speed, causing a loss of control.

The valve stem on a Jeep 2006 tire sensor valvestem broke off causing the tire to prematurely lose air that can cause similar problem like with Ford explorer tires blowing out. It can cause injury if person is in front of it to add air into tire. Dealer stated number of problems with the piece corroding at the cap area. Dealer stated having problem with recent year vehicles as well. No recall but dealer stated over 10,000 units backordered due to same issue. My car is a Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2006, VIN [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Jeep tpms break nonstop.

The automotive oil change association (aoca) represents the fast lube industry, with more than 3,500 locations in north America, servicing more tires than any other organization. Over the past several months members reported an increasing number of problems with tire pressure monitoring systems (tpms) and they are getting worse. Conventional tpmss measure tire pressure at the valve and use a radio frequency to transmit the data to an antenna on the side of the vehicle. The quality of these valve stems is so poor that car care professionals know - if they check the tire pressure, it is likely the valve will break and they will incur the cost to replace, about $110. 00 per unit. Specifically, the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the 2008 Chevrolet equinox, have aluminum valves stems; these easily corrode, become brittle, and break at the touch. They also have a plastic cap. If this plastic cap is improperly seated, or replaced by an aftermarket cap containing brass, or brass thread inserts, it leads quickly to galvanic corrosion; the result- the cap fuses to the valve stem. Attempt to remove the cap, the stem breaks. The driving public is being trained to trust these monitors for accurate tire pressure. Properly inflated tires reduce the potential for life-threatening blowouts, enhance handling, improve fuel efficiency, and prolong tire life; lowering the cost of ownership. These systems are too fragile to continue using them in passenger vehicles without addressing the durability. As these systems age, failure will increase 100%. Tpms units are specd out by oems- manufactured by siemens vdo (acqd by continental ag in may 07). Aoca has made many inquiries to see if these units are intended to be recalled or redesignedthe resounding answer is no. If oems do not change the specs tpmss will continue to be poorly made. Aoca asks NHTSA recall these units to protect the consumer, and people maintaining the tires on vehicles.
