I bought a 2006 jeep grand cherokee 4x4 limited edition. I bought 4 new tires the day of the purchase. The TPMS-tire pressure monitoring system began failing a short time thereafter. The light in the dashboard flashed telling me my tire pressure was low on various tires. My wife was the sole driver of the jeep and she was constantly calling telling me a tire was flat. She worked evening hours. I took the jeep into les schwab for repair. They advised me the price for the sensors was more than the price of the vehicle. I was constantly putting air in the tires and had to reset the vehicle service mileage.

We bought a 2006 jeep grand cherokee srt-8 and the front tires had been recently replaced so we weren't too concerned but when I did an oil change on sunday I noticed the right front tires tread was separating from the rest of the tire. This is our family vehicle so because I was worried about something happening to the tire and perhaps us we have not been able to use the vehicle. I ordered a new set of tires and will get them installed this weekend. I am keeping the old tires for proof of the damage.

I own a both 2006 and a 2007 jeep grand cherokee srt-on the 2007 model, the front left tire failed from tread separation during early october (tires were not very worn) - I had all four tires replaced. Unfortunately, the front left tire on my 2006 jeep failed yesterday (11/30/2008) with approximately 29,000 miles on the odometer. In this most recent failure, about 2 inches of tread on the inner side separated and came completely off the tire. I have thus had identical tire failures on two separate vehicles equipped with the same oem (goodyear) tires. In both cases, apparent tread wear was not high.
