2012 Dodge Journey Tires Problems

“Nearly bald tires after 24,000 miles and two years. Neither the dealership or the tire manufacturer will take responsibility of any kind.

This situation puts an owner in a predicament when a tire fails. Possibly be stuck some where it is virtually impossible to obtain a tire or weeks to get or have to drive long distances on a wheel that is significantly different in diameter than the other wheels. This is not a safe situation. My personal information is not needed by you or any one else. …”
