Wheel problem #1

Bearings on front right and left tires wore down extremely quickly with normal driving (no off road driving). Both had to be replaced on 4th year of owning vehicle.

Wheel problem #2

I have some 31k miles in the vehicle and it has been given me troubles with the wheels since they aren't inflated correctly. When I take it to the repair shop, everything is good and no nail nor nothing is in the wheel. But when they verify the 'worm' where you inflate the tire it hesiss and it gets bubbly since they verify the wheel with water and soap. It turns out that the valve (worm) has worn out or splitted - from I don't know where. Plus now it is happening with a second tire/wheel. When I replace the valve, if its not an original mopar part, the sensor won't recognize it. Now I spoke with the tire technician and it indicates to me that it should be a wear off due to manufactures specifications.

Wheel problem #3

Tire pressure system needs service, parking lights out, daytime driving lights out.

Wheel problem #4

Takata recalled.

Wheel problem #5

Tire pressure sensor broken into pieces on one tire.

Wheel problem #6

When I'm driving my vehicle will not speed up. I press on the gas and it keeps going at the same speed. When I brake it pulls, like if I was repeatedly pressing and letting go of the brakes. The wheels have worn out twice, having had new cars before and driving the same roads and distance I know this is not normal. I have fixed my breaks once wich is unusual for how new this car is and now my breaks are making squeaking noise.

Wheel problem #7

Tire pressure monitor system service light came on this morning. Tpms no longer able to read any of my tire pressures.

Wheel problem #8

Tires installed are not specific for on/off road driving. According to tire manufacturer, goodyear sr-a 215/65/r17 are highway tires and not for off roading.

Wheel problem #9

Just purchased a Jeep Renegade. Much to our surprise the car does not come with a spare tire even though it has a spot for it in the rear. I believe it to be a safety issue since if a person has a flat in a area that is not well traveled and has no cell service this could be a life or death matter. If the temps are freezing or extremely hot and you are in the middle of nowhere you would have to drive on the rim till you got help or crash. Whichever accurse first. If you had to walk in extreme cold for a long distance you could get hypothermia or worse. In extreme heat you could dehydrate before you get help. The list goes on there is no good points to not having a spare tire.

Wheel problem #10

Since I owned this Jeep I complained at service that the transmission seems strain and where a change in gear should naturally happen, the engine would whine and whine and then eventually shift gears. I was always met with service men with no response. Since the very beginning I was told that the engine burned considerable amounts of oil, and I would need to make additional special appt sand bring it in to make sure I had oil in the engine?the console above my head where the interior lights and the sunroof switch is there are red lights that light up from time to time indicating what/ and why are they lit? another question unanswered by the Jeep service dept of rockland cnty NY. Now that my Jeep is over 150,000 miles the electrical is shot. The check engine light comes on and goes off from time to time. The 4wheel drive sporadically works, same with the sunroof control and the driver seat lumbar and position controls on the driver seat. Only work when they want to.

Wheel problem #11
