2006 jeep grand cherokee make a grinding noise while turning. Consumer states that the mechanic could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. When noise occurred again it also made the entire front panel flash. *kb the dealer informed the consumer the tires had been rotated and the griding noise should cease. The consumer was told the transmission was leaking, so the dealer replaced the o-ring and a bushing.
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee tires complaints

I received a letter in the mail from goodyear tire & rubber company called a "customer satisfaction program". It concerns the eagle rsa emt (run flat) tires that were installed on my 2006 jeep. I called the consumer relations number listed on the letter and they directed me to a local dealer. The dealer told me the tires can separate inside and basically come apart! The dealer has to take them off the rims and inspect the inside of the tire and then determine if it's good or bad. If it's bad they will replace that tire, but only if they "think" it's bad? What happens if they think it isn't bad and it comes apart later on? Either this is a recall or it isn't? If it is then all the tires should be replaced!
I own a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The vehicle came new from factory with goodyear tires: wrangler sr-a 245-65r-17. My wife was driving the vehicle in the highway and one of the rear tires blew out. Called goodyear and explained the problem. They created a file (#860902) and referred me to the nearest tire store near my home. An inspection of the tire by the store revealed no road hazard damage. The tire was a manufacturer defect. Goodyear refused to replace the tire and only offered a 56% reimbursement on the cost of the tire (not labor or installation). The jeep was purchased new in january 2006 and only had 13,000 miles with 30% tread wear. Decided to purchase the replacement tire from www.tirerack.com. Mailed the invoice to goodyear today. Hope to receive a refund soon. Still am very disappointed they won't refund 100% of the cost of the tire. In addition, also worrying if the remaining tires on the car will follow the same pattern and blow up. The blown-up tire revealed 7 doughnut shaped holes on the side.
