| 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. | |||
