All four tires are torn/cut and tearing, (one is torn completely and is undrivable,) in the same circular pattern on the inside of the tire wall. Possible link to p37 recall having to do with the rear shock mount welding breaking, hence damaging the tires. Other possibilities include faulty tires, or other manufacturer defects on the vehicle not yet established that could cause damage to the tires. I noticed the issue when I went to leave work. My vehicle had been stationary all day. The front driver's side tire was leaking air at a high rate (audible from far away.) when I took the tire off to change to the spare, I noticed unusual cuts that are not indicative of a typical flat or blow out. I took off the other tires and they are all cut in a similar fashion. Photos are attached

Took car for routine tire rotation, 44,000 miles on car. Told could not rotate due to rear passenger tire "cupping". Did research, was a recall for 2015 chrysler for faulty shocks in rear of car. I called chrysler, told me my VIN was not included. Very dangerous, shock could break, tire could blow out. I will have to pay for the new faulty shocks myself and 2 new rear tires.

While on a trip from georgia to indiana. My family and I were traveling on the interstate. The front tires began to make noise and a vibration in the steering wheel. The car also began pulling hard to the left. When we arrived to indiana, the car was taken to a tire shop. The tire shop stated that one had tread separation and the other had a broken belt. The vehicle only has 33,000 miles on it. I had to replace 2 tires. I took pictures and documented the tires. I contacted the tire manufacturer and refused to do anything without the tires being sent to them. I had no way to carry 2 tires back from indiana to georgia.

When I put my car in drive it bucks, hesitate and pulls off terribly rough, I have took car back to dealer 3 times and they can't seem to find anything wrong, I went to chicago which is about 3 hrs from my home. I parked went shopping for about 2hrs. Came back hit locks nothing happened, walked closer to car hit locks nothing happened, tried trunk nothing for about 20 min I'm locked out of my car, the car seemed to have lost power.after standing there trying to locks finally it powered on the car had a bad ride at take off I heard noises under hood I continue to drive after the second stop I came back to car no problem it opened,I'm not happy with this car from day one it has been something this is the worst car I have ever had,on;y had the car for 7months, it was thrown together not manufactured for perfection. This car has a problem with stalling and not wanting to pull off it just sits there then it jumps in gear the take off is very slow. I really need my car I hope there is something that can be done about this, I had a blow out on my front driver side tire hit a small hole on highway the tire instantly burst I was about 300miles from home the tires seem to have been dry rotten. The power lost just happened on 09/19/2015. The other happened stating 03/15.

My complaint concerns the goodyear eagle ls2 p225/50r18 94t s2 b01rptl m63hbhdr2711 tire. I've had this tires around 34,000 miles and on three of the tires the tread was separating causing unusual tread wear in spots and bubbling and a safety hazard. The bubbling was bad enough for me to notice a wobble in my steering wheel. I find such wear irregular and to happen on three tires all during the same period of time unusual. I have my car serviced at regular intervals and my service provider never found anything irregular about the wear on my tires until recently. Such swift and irregular wear should be recorded and acted upon because it does pose a risk hazard to drivers who may experience a blowout on the road due to the separation and bubbling.

When I first got my car I noticed it pulling to the right took it to the dealership and they charged me $85 for alignment and it still continued to do it took it back they said it was in the steering I can't remember the service man's exact wording. I was driving about 3 weeks ago I was on the freeway going about 60 miles an hr and I had a blow out on front passenger side thankfully I was able to pull over on shoulder safely. Took the tire to our dealership and he said it was worn from the inside not just normal wear and tear. Anyway we called chrysler and we asked them why didn't they have a recall on this steering problem they said they haven't had any complaints. This is very dangerous cause I have to hold tightly to my steering wheel to keep it from not going to to the right. Plus I see there are others who are having the same problems with brakes squealing and the car jerking into gear please let me know what I can do about these problems. My car has just turned a year old. Thank you.
