Darn Tire Pressure sensors
 

Hi,

I have an '04 Liberty Limited Edition and the only complaint that I have are
with those @#!%$# radio transmittors in the valve stems (Tire Pressure
Monitoring Display) which are too sensitive to temperature change and
produce annoying alarms.

Definitely not for cold climates!

I have a solution for that which involves some manual labor, a pair of

Does it also involve the engineer who came up with design? :)
