Tire Pressure Monitoring System Problems of Jeep Patriot

Tl * the contact owns a 2010 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the front passenger side tire pressure sensor sank into the tire causing the tire to deflate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the metal collar around the sensor corroded and fractured causing the failure. As a result, the sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was 80,000.

While servicing this customer's vehicle we put an a tire inflator on the vehicle's valve stem. The valve stem broke and was very brittle. The tire lost all air pressure and needed to be repaired at a tire shop for $138.

Tire valve stem broke while the tire pressure was being checked. This occurred during an oil change service. The broken valve stem/tpms sensor required my company to pay for repairs. I am filing this claim on behalf of our customer.

Tpms valve stem broke during the check and inflation of a customer's vehicle. The broken valve stem resulted in a loss of tire pressure requiring immediate repair.

Valve stem broke while inflating tires. Inflating our customers' tires is part of our service and required by California law. This is a regular occurrence at our oil change facilities. We are usually left paying for the expense of replacing the tpms sensor, mounting and dismounting the tire by a tire shop.

Driving on interstate highway ,low tire pressure warning flashed on dashboard, car pulled to the right, stooped car, looked for cause of flat, the valve stem was corroded, 1/4 of stem came off air leaked out flattened tire. It cost over one hundred dollars to repair, this is a major saftey issue.

The tpms on my 2009 Jeep Patriot indicated low tire pressure. When I took the cap off one tire to check the pressure, about 1/8 inch of the end of the valve stem was inside the cap. I could not check the tire pressure or add air. This is a safety issue. If the valve stem breaks while driving, it could result in quick loss of tire pressure. The Jeep dealer will replace the vavle stem/tire pressure monitor unit for $115. I will save the old part.

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.

Chrysler is intentionally inflating tires to 40 psi to prevent low pressure warning light from comming on. I took my Jeep Patriot to rochester hills (mi) Chrysler for a tire rotation I found the tires inflated to 40 psi when I inquired, the service rep said it was "to prevent the warning light from comming on when it gets to 0 degrees. " 40 psi is 8 psi over the door sticker recommended 32 psi. If you use the "12 degrees changes the pressure by 1 psi" as per the operators manual and you inflated the tires at the record high ambient of 62 degrees and checked them again at the record low of -11 degrees (73 divided by 12= 6 psi) the departure from average low 19 degrees to record low -11 equals 2 psi. The departure from the average high 33 degrees to average low 19 degrees equals 1 psi. Chrysler's actions indicate a problem with their tire pressure sensors.

I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot. The main concern I have is the tire pressure monitoring valve is defective. The main valve stem is made out of aluminum and they are snapping in half right below where the valve screws in on the stem. This causes a sudden decrease of air pressure that we almost lost the car at highway speeds. After further investigation by the tire store we have another tire stem that is ready to break also. The valve stems used to be made out of brass or steel. And in the colorado weather with the severe cold I think it is cracking the aluminum stems. This is a very serious defect but shouldn't be too costly to repair. If not recalled there will be rollovers as the tire pressure goes out very quickly. I do have knowledgeable skills in the mechanical areas so I know this is not safe.
