| Description of the problem | 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 complacency when there could, in fact, be a real tire pressure problem that requires attention. |
