2002 Jeep Liberty tires problems

“I HAVE A SET OF 4 UNIROYAL LIBERATOR A/T P235 70R16 TIRES DOT APO8 C62U 4410 THAT HAVE HORRIBLE PROBLEMS. ONE OF THEM IS SO ELLIPTICAL THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE RIDING ON A EGG SHAPED TIRE THAT ALMOST MAKES YOU SICK AT SLOWER SPEEDS. IT HAS A AWFUL VIBRATION AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE OTHER 3 OF THE SET ARE SO OUT OF BALANCE THAT EVEN WITH 5 OUNCES OF WEIGHT, THE TIRES STILL VIBRATE. *TR”

“WHERE TO BEGIN? MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR MONTHS WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO & WAS CHARGED $100 FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, CAME BACK ON, WENT OUT AGAIN, AND FINALLY I HIT MY HIGH BEAMS AND THEY STAYED ON. MY ENGINE USES ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL PER WEEK. I HAVE PARKED ON CLEAN SURFACES & THERE IS NO OIL LEAKING, BUT IT IS GOING SOMEWHERE. I CAN HEAR A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I CALLED CHRYSLER'S TOLL-FREE NUMBER TODAY AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN, AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY JEEP IS UNDER RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG MODULE, AND MAYBE THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT ONE WOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THEY STATED THAT THEY'VE HAD NO COMPLAINTS. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED FRONT TIRES THREE TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR FOR WEAR ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE. I'VE HAD THE JEEP ALIGNED, TIRES ROTATED AS THEY SHOULD BE, AND THEY JUST KEEP BALDING ON THE OUTER EDGE. THE SERVICE TECH SAID THAT JEEPS EAT…”

“ON MAY 2ND ,2010, MY WIFE AND SON HEARD AN EXPLOSION OUTSIDE IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WHEN THEY WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS , THEY FOUND THE SPARE TIRE ON THE BACK OF OUR 2002 JEEP LIBERTY HAD BLOWN UP. IT IS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRE MADE IN 2002. IT HAS ONLY BEEN USED ONCE FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE OTHER REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT. LAST FALL WHILE DRIVING TO A MARLINS GAME IN MIAMI AS I WAS ACCELERATING ON AN ON RAMP GETTING ON TO I 95 THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED THROUGH THE SIDEWALL AND RIPPED APART. THIS TIRE WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AS WE HAD BOUGHT A COMPLETE SET OF 4. THIS TIRE AGAIN WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER. MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I HAVE A 15 YEAR OLD ABOUT TO GET HIS LICENSE. I REPORTED THIS TIRE FAILURE TO YOUR WEBSITE WHEN IT HAPPENED. OTHER THAN A NOTICE THAT IT WAS RECEIVED I REALLY DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING ELSE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES AS I FEAR THEY SEEM TO EXPLODE AT WILL FOR NO GOOD REASON. COULD SOMEONE RESPOND. *TR”
