NHTSA complaint #11355258, filed 2020-09, 218,000 miles

“Contacted Jeep to tell them of our rims that are failing,due to product deterioration and they decided to settle for half of the cost at the first call. These rims are expanding at the mag part of the wheel & separating from the rim. This is my wife's car and I might not be around if they fail & cause an accident. I don't feel I should have to pay a thousand dollars to replace rims that went bad at 22,000 miles. Keith bishop”

“The side walls on all the goodyear wrangler st tires on my Jeep have dry rot. While driving on a interstate, late at night, one of the tires blow through the side wall. Due to a slow leak in one of the other tires in the area of the side wall, sullivan tire, a local goodyear tire dealer, inspected the tires and advised me that all the tires had some degree of dry rot in the vicinity of the side wall (a possible quality control problem) and they should be replaced. Sullivan tire is contacting goodyear for instructions on the replacements.”
