The contact owned a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee equipped with Prinx Tires, Tire Line: High Country RT, Tire Size: LT265/65/R16, DOT Number: N/A. The contact stated that, while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed during light snowfall and attempting to reduce speeds, the vehicle lost traction. As a result, the driver lost control of the vehicle and slid off the roadway, only coming to a complete stop after rolling once down an embankment and colliding with a tree. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a storage facility and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The driver did not receive immediate medical attention but later transported himself to a chiropractor and was treated for stiffness. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24T014000 (Tires), and the VIN was included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unknown.

I HAD A SLOW LEAK IN MY REAR TIRES , SO I WENT TO GET THEM PLUGGED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RIMS HAD RUSTED THROUGH THE BACK TIRES AND PUNCTURED THE TIRES. I COULD NOT GET INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR TWO WEEKS SO MY MECHANIC ORDERED A NEW RIM (JEEP PART) AND TWO NEW TIRES SO THAT I COULD DRIVE SAFELY. JEEP REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY BASED ON THE FACT THAT I HAD MY OWN MECHANIC REPLACE THE TIRES. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD HAVE WAITED TWO WEEKS. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT GOING TO RISK DRIVING ON A FAULTY RIM AND TIRES. I STILL HAVE THE RUSTED OUT RIMS AND PUNCTURED TIRES THAT JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. *JB

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
