| Description of the problem | It is not just jeep wranglers with defective tipms. I have had to have mine replaced twice in the last 18 months and 32000 miles. Since i drive my vehicle for work as a mail carrier this is a major problem for me. It has stranded me both times in the middle of a busy highway. I had to exit the vehicle both times without any hazard lights and push it off the road. Beyond the danger involved in these failures the financial burden of having to miss work while the manufacturer takes it's sweet time getting the part to the dealership is devastating. My family and i simply cannot remain financially solvent through another of these failures as i am a single parent supporting a family of four. |
