BRAKES HAVE MADE A SQUEALING NOISE EVERY SINCE THE JEEP WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DUST ON THE BRAKES, SO THEY CLEANED THEM. THIS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERL TIMES. WE RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE OUR TIRES REPLACED DUE TO A "BLOWOUT" THE TIRE DEALER STATED THE BRAKES WERE IN BAD SHAPE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

THE LEFT REAR TIRE SIDE COMPLETELY SHREDDED;NO APPARENT PUNCTURE,ONLY 33000.00 MILES ON TIRES/RATE OF SPEED WAS 70 MPH, COULD HAVE VERY EASILY RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FOR A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER. SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT LOOKED AT THE TIRE COMMENTED THAT IT WAS NOT YOUR NORMAL FLAT TIRE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: RT/S )

WHILE DRIVING HOME THE INSTRUMENT PANEL QUIT WORKING ON OUR JEEP. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED I CONTACTED THE DEALER FROM MY CELL PHONE. ON THE WAY HOME IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. DEALER SAID IN ORDER FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT THE PANEL COULD NOT BE WORKING CALL IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SECOND TIME THE GAS GAUGE QUIT AND THEN STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE BRAKES MAKE A FUNNY NOISE AND THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONE TIME ALREADY. WE HAVE ONLY HAD THIS JEEP FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS THE FIRST TWO WEEKS IT WAS IN THE SHOP.

CONSUMER IS NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN RECALL REPAIR (00V-105) DUE TO LACK OF PARTS AND INFORMATION REGARDING REPAIR. *MJS
