| Description of the problem | The tpms sensor nut broke off the sensor itself. This left a hole in the rim where the sensor/stem should be since there was nothing holding it once the tire started losing air, rapidly, it fell in the tire and ruined the tire and resulted in a instant flat. This is the second time on a second tire that this has happened to in the two and a half years i have this vehicle. Jeep needs to do a recall or get rid of the so called safety precaution and go back to the basics of a rubber steam and no sensor. This is a severe safety hazard as you have almost no time to slow down and try to get off the road before the tire is toast. |
