general problems of the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Defective tires: ********goodyear eagle rs-a emt*********** 04/12/12-this second event, driving 2007 Jeep srt8 on side street, tire pressure went abruptly to zero as steering went out causing vehicle to veer off road and onto shoulder and grass. Upon removal of left front tire, tread separation cracks were apparent, some as long as 1-1 1/2 inches, at least one of which separated through to airlock. Inner edge of tire very mushy along 14-16 inches of where separation occurred. Tire replaced with same issue. This event is almost identical to an occurrence that happened September 2011 on the same vehicle, rear tire displayed separation on inner edge over large area. Tire dealer advised likely due to pothole, which was not an experienced event [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The front tires have premature ware on the inner edge of tire, the result was tire separation. After only 16000 miles of use. I have the alignment checked an it was within factory specification. I had to purchase a new set of tires. Old tires still in hand and have pictures of the tires.

Premature tread separation on my front good year run flat tires.

After reading where multiple Jeep Grand Cherokee srt8 owners were experiencing front tire failure with factory tires, I had my tires checked during an alignment. Both of my front tires are experiencing a tread separation failure. I bought this vehicle with brand new tires on it, 0 miles from a local dealer. I contacted goodyear corporate, who sent me to a goodyear dealer locally, who inspected my tires, informed me they were defective, and offered me a pro-rated replace of 50% off. I feel that if a tire (or any product) has a manufacturing defect, then it should be replaced as such and not pro-rated. The tire was obviously defective from day one, and is only showing such after some use. Now I have to pay for replacement of tires that are not completely used nor worn to treadwear markers for fear of complete tire failure.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 25 mph, the contact stated that the front driver and passenger side tires were experiencing tread separation. The contact called the dealer who advised there was a problem with the tires. The contact spoke with the tire manufacturer who advised she needed an alignment and new tires. The current miles were 23000. Updated evoq 09/01/jb updated 10/28/10 updated 11/01/10 updated 11/23/10 updated 11/23/10 the consumer stated she had to pay $1090 to replace two defective tires. Updated evoq 12/17/10.

Both front tires separated on the inside edges of the tires. Had noticed it wearing thin at around 13 thousand. Had the alignment checked, and it was in perfect spec. Around 15 thousand, I noticed a very thin spot and had the alignment checked again, and the aligner told me that the metal was showing through, and the tires were about to split apart. Had the tires changed for another brand on all four corners, and have not have any problems since after 22,000 more miles. Still have the original front tires for reference or inspection, and all alignment sheets. Being an incident from over a year ago, I am not 100% sure on the dates.

Front good year tires separating from the belt. Car is in perfect alignment checked by dealer. Hundreds maybe thousands have been reporting the same problem, all at around 20k miles. Dealer failing to warranty them claiming that its normal on these trucks due to the suspension??? not my problem! do not plan on spending $460 dollars per tire every 20k miles.

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited, 4. 7 engine, vibration at highway speeds between 60 and 75 mph. Dealership has replaced both driveshafts which helped some. Goodyear replaced on goodyear fortera hl tire which was out of round. This helped some as well. Still there is a vibration (shudder) throughout the vehicle at the speeds mentioned prior.
