Just picked it up, service manager said they are waiting to hear back from Chrysler, and they will call me to bring it back in when they think they have a fix. We shall see?

I had my aftermarket TPMS sensors replaced with OEM's today and finally got the light out on my 2012. Anyway the tech told me that the sensor in the spare had to be at the top of the wheel when in the rear carrier. Let's say the 10 to 2 o'clock position. Mine was like that but he said to remember when rotating the tires. You might want to give it a try.

Update

So when I picked my Jeep up this afternoon the service manger said they had no idea what was wrong or how to fix it. He also said they had never seen anything like this before and they were waiting for Chrysler to email them back with a possible fix. So I asked him if they drove the Jeep around with the new Sensors in, because I thought you had to drive for like 20 or 30 miles for everything to reset. He said that they had drove it around a bit but it really was not necessary because they had went in with the computer and reset everything. I said ok let me know when you get it figured out and I will bring the Jeep back for the 3rd time. Well I drove back to my shop light was still on. I get in to drive home after work, started it up, no ding, no light. So I guess it just needed to be driven some after all. So should I call the dealership in the morning and let them know or wait to hear what Chrysler's big fix is going to be?

Depends on your relationship with the dealer.

Since it seems to be working now, you could tell them, but I would want something in writing saying that something fishy was happening. Just in case you have future issues.

Or you could wait to see what Chrysler recommends. If everything is still working then, you can choose to accept, decline, or maybe postpone the Chrysler recommendation. Again, get documentation.

Let us know what you find out....
