1999 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND VEHICLE STARTED TO PULL TO RIGHT INTO THE OTHER LANE. THIS CAUSED CALIPERS TO LOCK UP. FINALLY TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER , AGAIN FOR THE FOURTH TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM & HAD IT REPAIRED. AFTER EACH REPAIR PROBLEM WOULD REAPPEAR.*AK

SPARE TIRE MOUNTED ON LEFT SIDE BLOCKS VIEW OF DRIVER. SHOULD BE ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE BEHIND DRIVER. THIS IS A RHD VEHICLE USED FOR MAIL DELIVERY. HAVE ALMOST HIT 2 CARS THAT WERE BLOCKED FROM MY VIEW BY THE TIRE. CHRYSLER SAID THE RIGHT PANEL WILL NOT HOLD THE SPARE AND THE ONLY OPTIONS ARE TO LAY THE TIRE DOWN ON THE FLOOR OR PURCHASE A ROOF RACK AND MOUNT IT ON THE ROOF.

CONDENSATION WOULD BUILD UP IN AIR CONDITIONER WHICH CAUSED MILDEW WHEN DRYING. IT WOULD THEN EXPEL AN ODOR. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC, THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM, EXCEPT MAYBE SPRAYING WITH LYSOL. WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS OFF CAN SMELL IT, BUT WORSE WHEN ITS ON.*AK

THE TREAD ON ALL THE ORIGINAL FOOUR TIRES ARE BALLED ALL AROUND. I HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES AND THE FRONT END IS IN ALIGNMENT. I CALLED GOODYEAR AND THEY STATED THAT THESE TIRE SHOULD NOT BE ON A JEEP THAT THEY ARE FOR SEDANS. THE TIRE DO HAVE TOURING WRITTEN ON THEM. I ALSO CALLED A NUMBER OF GOODYEAR DEALERS IN THE AREA AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT PLACE THESE TIRES ON A JEEP. CHRYSLER STATED THAT THESE TIRE ARE STANDED EQUIPEMENT. I'M JUST GLAD THAT NO ONE IN MY FAMILY HAS BEN HURT FROM THESE TIRES. I'M ABOUT TO REPLACE THEM...PLEASE HELP!*AK (TIRESIZE: P225/70R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/70R15 )
