Continued failure of tire pressure monitoring system in 2011 Jeep Patriot latitude 4x4. Our brand new 2011 Jeep Patriot latitude 4x4 has experienced continued failure of the tire pressure monitoring system. On four separate occasions it the tpms light has activated indicating a low time pressure issue in the tires. Each time the tire pressure is checked and determined to be correct. We have now taken this Jeep to our local dealer, sport durst Chrysler Dodge Jeep, on three separate occasions for this issue. The most recent time we were told that the tpms was set to the incorrect pressure and was set correctly. Despite this, the tpms light has come on once again. I believe that this is an important safety issue as a malfunctioning tpms will result in Jeep owners ignoring the light. This could result in complacence when there could, in fact, be a real tire pressure problem that requires attention.
Right front tire blew out causing loss of control of vehicle in sharp curve. Vehicle struck concrete culvert with left side and flipped at least twice, landing right side up.
My 2011 Jeep Patriot came with firestone affinity tires, and after only two years and fourteen thousand miles the tires have developed cracks all along the seam where the tread attaches to the tire casing. It looks as though the tread is starting to pull away from the tire.
