What owners say

Filed Sep 28, 2013 · Steering, Suspension · 199,250 miles · KS

Vehicle began to shake severely and pull to the right slightly.

Filed Sep 27, 2010 · Tires · 97,000 miles · NJ

On nov.2007 I purchased 4 bridgestone dueler h/t 684ii , p245/70/r16 tires for my jeep cherokee limited. The car had 67,000 miles on it. In sept 2010 I took the car into sts for the 4th time for a balance and wheel alignment, as the car always pulled to the left since I put the tires on. The car now has 97,000 miles on it and the treads are worn on the side of the tires not the middle or inside side. Sts is now saying I need new tires. Why did they only wear on the outer side of the tire and not in the middle or other side. For the money I paid, these tires are a piece of junk. I have had bf goodrich and had tires much longer than these.

I bought this grand cherokee from san jose dodge as a lease-back vehicle with 27,000 miles on it. At 51 MPH, the right front tire vibrated severely, especially when entering a left curve; however at this speed the vibration is always noticeable. The vehicle also pulls to the right at all times. I took the vehicle back to san jose dodge, where I purchased it, and they replaced the steering dampener. This did not solve the problem. I had new tires placed on the vehicle in mid 2000, and had the front end aligned. This minimized the vibration, but it was still noticeable. As the tires have worn down, the vibration has gotten worse. I've since relocated to connecticut. I took the vehicle to capitol chrysler dodge jeep and asked them to check the front end for this problem. The technician, joseph e. Paradis, says that the tires are "out of round". I've had two sets of tires on this vehicle, and the problem is only in the front right side. I think there is a mechanical defect that neither dealer is either admitting to, or knowledgable about.

Prior to recall notification #879 consumer was having problems with the vehicle pulling to the left or the vehicle would shake when applying the brakes, rotors and pads were replaced, mechanic took vehicle for test drive and after drivng for a few miles and returned the rotors were burned out and so dealership replaced rotors again each time consumer would go in with same problem rotors would be warped, consumer was advised when rotors were be changed that the wheel hub was damaged and that he would be responsible since it looked like the damaged was caused by him, consumer was denied reimbursement from manufacturer stating that his situation did not fit the criteria under the recall, because the information that was submitted did not show a separation of the rotor from the hub, or corrosion.
