ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN I LOOKED UP THE PANEL LIGHT MEANINGS IN THE MANUAL, I DETERMINED IT WAS SAFE TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER WAITING FOR A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACKNOWLEDGED THE CAR PROBLEM BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. AT THE TIME, I HAD 7500 MILES ON MY CAR. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THIS WEEK. MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AGAIN, SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. *TT

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
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. *TR
