2 Tire problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2012

We bought a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee srt-8 and the front tires had been recently replaced so we weren't too concerned but when I did an oil change on Sunday I noticed the right front tires tread was separating from the rest of the tire. This is our family vehicle so because I was worried about something happening to the tire and perhaps us we have not been able to use the vehicle. I ordered a new set of tires and will get them installed this weekend. I am keeping the old tires for proof of the damage.

4 Tire problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2008

I own a both 2006 and a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee srt-on the 2007 model, the front left tire failed from tread separation during early October (tires were not very worn) - I had all four tires replaced. Unfortunately, the front left tire on my 2006 Jeep failed yesterday (11/30/2008) with approximately 29,000 miles on the odometer. In this most recent failure, about 2 inches of tread on the inner side separated and came completely off the tire. I have thus had identical tire failures on two separate vehicles equipped with the same oem (goodyear) tires. In both cases, apparent tread wear was not high.

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee make a grinding noise while turning. Consumer states that the mechanic could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. When noise occurred again it also made the entire front panel flash. The dealer informed the consumer the tires had been rotated and the griding noise should cease. The consumer was told the transmission was leaking, so the dealer replaced the o-ring and a bushing.

7 Tire problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2006

I received a letter in the mail from goodyear tire & rubber company called a "customer satisfaction program". It concerns the eagle rsa emt (run flat) tires that were installed on my 2006 Jeep. I called the consumer relations number listed on the letter and they directed me to a local dealer. The dealer told me the tires can separate inside and basically come apart! the dealer has to take them off the rims and inspect the inside of the tire and then determine if it's good or bad. If it's bad they will replace that tire, but only if they "think" it's bad? what happens if they think it isn't bad and it comes apart later on? either this is a recall or it isn't? if it is then all the tires should be replaced!.
