1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE TIRE PROVIDED FOR THE SPARE TIRE RECALL IS NOT THE RECOMENDED TIRE SIZE FOR THE VEHICLE. THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS ONLY THE FACTORY SPECIFIED TIRE CAN GO ON AN ALL TIME FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. HOWEVER JEEP STILL PROVIDED A DIFFERENT TIRE SIZE. IN ADDITION WITH THE LARGER SPARE INSIDE THE REAR COMPARTMENT, YOU CAN NO LONGER USE THE SAFETY NETTING OR THE PRIVACY COVER BECAUSE THE TIRE IS LARGER THAN THE ORIGINAL SPARE. THE SAFETY NETTING IS VERY IMPORTANT IN A CRASH TO KEEP OBJECTS FROM HITTING OCCUPANTS INSIDE. YOU CAN NOW NO LONGER USE THE NETTING. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO PROVIDE THE CORRECT SPARE!!!*AK (TIRESIZE: 245/75-16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/75-16 )
