I got out of my car after a 20 minute drive from work and I could smell rubber burning. I stepped to the back of my jeep and could tell the smell was coming from the back driver side tire so I reached down and touched the wheel and it was so hot it burned by hand. It acted like the brake had locked while I was driving and working against my speed. This is an ongoing problem. Sometimes it acts completely fine and other times it will lock up again and all I can smell is burning rubbing and feel heat coming off the wheel without even touching it.

Purchased new 2005 jeep liberty renegade in june 2005 almost immediately the tire pressure sensor light flashed for weeks then went on solid. Asked dealer to check, they added air and it went out. Almost immediately after I left the dealer the same situation occurred. I added air it went out and then it repeated. Eventually the light is always illuminated. Five years later I just drive with the sensor light illuminated since noone (dealer/private garage/tire store) and nothing (add air/new tires/new sensors ($120 each) fixed the problem.
