2004 Jeep Liberty Tires Problems

“I bought a goodyear tire for my Jeep Liberty and the tire failed and upon inspection there was a tear on the side wall of the tire which was unrepairable and had to be replaced . This is a defect in the tire and not from road hazards”

“I was pulling out of a parking spot, where my car was parked. I drove approximately 5 feet and felt like I hit something. I got out of my car and saw that my front passenger's side tire had come off. The tire fell off/rim was damaged, there was fluid leaking from under the car, and there was damage done to the body of the car- fender. All of the tire bearings are being checked/replaced.”

She was able to bring the car to a stop without an accident. About 3 of the outside side wall is completely severed from the rest of the tire. There is no evidence of road damage to the tread or sidewall, except for the scuff marks left from the incident. …”
