Car would not start. Called aaa who made several attempts to start car but all failed. Tow driver said he thought key was problem since all electrical was fine. Said he had approx six incidents in recent months with Jeep/Chrysler and all were due to key failure. I was towed from jfk airport to Jeep dealer in wantagh. It was determined key **deprogrammed** and so failed. I asked if there was any indication this failure was going to happen and they said no. They replaced one key under warranty and charged me 206. 00 for second key. I wrote to Jeep/Chrysler for reimbursement and was denied. A failure like this could cause serious issues .
I purchased a new Jeep Liberty 2009 in Jun of 2010 in January of 2011 while attempting to put air in the rear tire the tpms valve stem exploded and shot across the garage. In September of 2011 the tpms valve stem disintegrated while the car was parked in the garage and shot the parts across the garage both of these where replaced by Chrysler under warranty. On may 21st 2012 while travelling on the highway at 65 the tpms valve on the rear tire disintegrated and caused immediate loss of air from the rear tire, causing the vehicle to become unstable, I was able to control it and drive the vehicle to the side of the road. On inspection the valve was completely gone. This valve is being replaced by Chrysler but now as the vehicle is outside of warranty I have to foot the bill. I have driven hundreds of thousands of miles over the last 23 years and have never had any issues with tire valve stems to have 3 such major failures over 2 years and the last one on the highway which could have led to a serious accident. It appears that there is a design flaw with the tpms valves being used by Chrysler on this age of vehicle and from what I have seen on car forums this seems to be the case for many Chrysler group vehicle owners with tpms systems.
