3 OF 4 TIRES HAVE SIDEWALL CRACKS AROUND THE RIMS 360 DEG. GOODYEAR DEALER SAYS NOT SERIOUS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE TIRES FAILURE, IN PARTICULAR DURING CORNERING. I BELIEVE THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR SAFETY. *AK (TIRESIZE: P225/75R15)

BRAKES/ROTORS ORIGINALLY FAILED AT 13,242 MILES AND DEALER REPLACED AS A "GOOD WILL " GESTURE. BRAKES/ROTORS AGAIN FAILED OR WARPED OUT OF ROUND AT 29,569 MILES AND DEALER WAS REQUIRING ME TO PAY IN FULL. AFTER MUCH ARGUING DEALER SUGGESTED TO REDUCE OWNER COSTS TO HALF, BUT STILL INSISTED THAT PROBLEM WAS MISUSE OF VEHICLE.*AK

VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE BADLY. WHEN TRYING TO STOP, VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE ALL OVER THE ROAD. CAN SMELL BRAKES BURNING WHEN APPLIED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM IN MANY WRANGLERS WITH THE SAME CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION. THE THROW-OUT BEARING HAS ROTATED ON THE CLUTCH FORK AND THE FORK HAS BEEN PUSHED DOWN OVER THE THROW-OUT BEARING, CAUSING THE CLUTCH SLAVE TO EXTEND TO THE MAXIMUM, WHICH CAUSES THE CLUTCH NOT TO BE ABLE TO BE DEPRESSED. THEREFORE, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WITH A NON-OPERATIONAL VEHICLE. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED VEHICLE VIBRATES OUT OF CONTROL. DEALER HAS REPLACED ROTORS AND BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE ROTORS BECOME OUT OF ROUND. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

FUEL TANK IS WARPED AND HAS CAUSED FUEL TO LEAK. *AK CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT WHEN THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP THEY DID NOT TORQUE THE SCREWS PROPERLY AND THAT CAUSED THE TANK TO WARP AND LEAK. *YD

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED VEHICLE VIBRATES UNCONTROLLABLY. DEALER HAS REPLACED ROTORS, AND BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE ROTORS WERE OUT OF ROUND. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
