: the contact stated while driving 70 mph on a normal highway, a tire failure was noticed. No warning signal alerted the contact. The rear left tire blew out after tread separation and the vehicle sustained body damage. The vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined the rear right tire's tread had separated. The manufacturer had not been contacted. The tire was a dunlop P235/70R16.

Whenever braking after traveling 45mph and above vehicle will vibrate. Can maintain control when this happens. Been to dealership at least 3 times for problem. Problem is causing tires to wear out excessively due to rotors. Mechanic cannot resolve problem.

On Sunday car at 45 mph began with violent shaking at 45mph. Happened several times on mon. Called car dealer who rec tires get checked. (tires are 2 months old with 1-2000miles). Tire dealer found a leaking steering stabilizer and refered us back to the auto dealer who replaced the stabilizer and noted that the front tires were badly worn. They stated that the wear was not caused by bad stablizer but by bad tires. The tire dealer claims the tire wear was caused by the stablizer. I am reporting this because of the significant vehicle control problem and to find the cause of the problem. Thank you. (dot number: Mk9L tiresize: P24570R16)

After almost twice a month trips to the service provider and being told that my allignment was a result of my driving there was a recall posted for a part that caused allignment problems. Although this was eventually fixed, my tires suffered and had to be replaced very prematurely. After contacting Goodyear and Chrysler I was told the tires were my responsibility and that the "bad" part would not have caused significant tire damage. I still feel that although the problem is better it is still apparent and I would like it to be resolved. After owning this car for less than 2 years the myriad of major component failures is rather frustrating especially when the Jeep service providers won't acknowledge the problem and seem to not care about their customers who pay their salaries. This is an embarressment to the american car industry.

Left rear tire had tread separation and sidewall circumferential disintegration, with loss of control of the SUV. It was dry road, daytime, outside temp about 55F, speed about 42 mph, and car had been moving for about 10 minutes from cold start. Car careened side to side of 2 lane medium speed highway, finally stopping in about 1/4-1/3 mile. Required extremely vigorous muscle to limit lateral travel and torque roll of vehicle. The sound was like a helicopter rotor chop that became rapidly louder over 5-10 sec, followed by loss of control. Tire inspected by insurance who certified there was no road hazard cause, and 'had never seen a tire disintegrate like this before'. tires are oem, original, rotated per schedule, maintained pressure per labelling. Vehicle had two persons, no towing or loads more than 1-2 additonal passengers at any time. (tiresize: 245-70-16)( dot number: Tire size: 245-70-16 )

My wife was traveling down I-20 in ga, in the far left lane at the speed limit when right rear tire sidewall blewout, causing her to struggle to maintain control of vehicle. Maneuvered to the roadside emergency lane on the right, through significant traffic. A passing tow truck asissted her, and advised that had the tire blowen occurred on the front of the car, she would have undoubtably lost control of the car and would have had a serious accident.
