39 Tire problem of the 2004 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/30/2006

2004 Jeep Wrangler x has developed a noticeable shake, or "shimmy" within the last 30 days. This shake is especially violent at around 50 mph over paved road surfaces with unevenness or potholes. At times, this shaking is so severe as to make the vehicle difficult to control. This problem was evaluated by a Jeep dealership. Their finding was that the alignment and steering are in good condition, however all four tires are out of round and need to be replaced. The tires are stock goodyear Wrangler GS-a's and original to the vehicle. They have less than 25,000 miles on them and now appear to be failing at the same time. The dealer service representative reported that this is a condition is not uncommon.

40 Tire problem of the 2003 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 04/21/2006

My 2003 Jeep Wrangler has developed a severe shake at 55 mph, and is cupping its tires. I have requested help for this problem from my dealer and Chrysler customer service. The dealer acknowledges some Jeeps have this problem, customer service says they have never heard of it. They offer no cure but frequent tire rotations. I do rotate my tires frequently but this does not help. When the shaking starts the vehicle becomes uncontrollable, and the only cure is rapid deceleration. I am hoping you have some record of this problem with Jeeps and can offer a remedy.

41 Tire problem of the 2004 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 02/22/2005

Purchased a used 2004 Jeep Wrangler rubicon with 11000 miles on the odometer, after driving the vehicle for several months I noticed that the odometer seamed to be reading slow, so I had the odometer checked by a state trooper and found out that at 45 mph I was only moving at 40 mph. With further investigation I found that the tires and rims are not the right size for the vehicle. The tires that where on the Jeep when I purchased it are p225/75r15, the manufacturer recommends lt245/75r16, is this vehicle safe to drive? the dealership where I purchased the Jeep from refuses to make it right. Would the 11000 miles on the odometer be right or could it be more?.
