  PRIMEWELL TIRES SOLD AT FIRESTONE ARE ADVERTISED AS ALL SEASON. I BOUGHT THESE TIRES IN FEB 2010. ON DEC 26TH 2010, WE HAD A SNOWSTORM IN HAMPTON AREA. I HAD TO GO OUT AND FOUND OUT THE TIRES HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TRACTION ON SNOW. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS FOR WINTER CONDITIONS. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. ON THE WAY HOME, I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 15MPH WHEN ALL FOUR TIRES LOSS TRACTION DUE TO A 15 TO 20 MPH WIND AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED THE TIRES WITH KELLY EXPLORER TIRES AND HAD NO TROUBLE NEGOTIATING THE SNOW. THESE TIRES NEED TO BE PULLED FROM THE MARKET OR A WARNING GIVEN TO CONSUMERS. THEY ALSO LOSE TRACTION ON WET ROADS EASILY. AS STATED, THEY ARE ADVERTISED AS " TIRES DELIVER ALL-SEASON TRACTION ". *TR

• 12/28/2005· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  JUST OVER A YEAR AGO, MY 1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO ENCOUNTERED A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. AS I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PROCURING A REPLACEMENT PUMP, A FRIEND TOLD ME TO CHECK FOR RECALLS/TSB'S ON IT AS HE HAD EXPERIENCED MANY FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS WITH THESE. THERE WERE, I BELIEVE TWO TSB'S INVOLVING MY VEHICLE SO I CALLED CHRYSLER. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE IF THE PROBLEM WAS THE PUMP. I TOLD HER I HAD ALREADY DONE THAT. SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO DETERMINE IT AND IF IT WAS THE PUMP, CHRYSLER WOULD COVER THE REPAIR. I HAD IT TOWED TO CHRYSLER ($65) AND THEY INDEED FOUND IT WAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT AND I WAS CHARGED OVER $600 FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER THE FACT, CHRYSLER DECLINED TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY PROMISED. I HAD FOUND A REPLACEMENT PUMP THAT I WAS PREPARED TO INSTALL MYSELF FOR $163 AND HAD CHRYSLER BEEN HONEST AND DECLINED TO COVER THE REPAIR, I WOULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IT MYSELF FOR $163 AND BEEN ABLE TO GO ON VACATION TO THE OUTER BANKS INSTEAD OF PAYING ALMOST $700 AND HAVING TO CANCEL MY VACATION. I HAVE CONTACTED , EMAILED, ETC MANY PEOPLE AT CHRYSLER TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT WHEN YOU DEAL WITH CHRYSLER, YOU BETTER GET IT IN WRITING! PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!. *NM

• 12/17/1999· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  MULTIPLE REAR AXLE PROBLEMS, EACH DIAGNOSED BY OWNER PRIOR TO FAILURE. (THE DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT THERE WAS A PROBLEM) THIS VEHICLE HAS AVERAGED ONE NEW REAR AXLE EVERY YEAR, INCLUDING THIS YEAR WHICH I AM WAITING ON PARTS. THE ENGINE'S FAULTY MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR QUIT OPERATION WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS ON SOME SWITCHBACK ROADS. THE ENGINE ABRUBTLY QUIT RUNNING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKING CONTROL. ONLY QUICK THINKING BY USING THE PARKING BRAKE SAVED THE FOUR PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE FROM EMINENT DEATH. THE ENGINE RELUCTANTLY RESTARTED AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND WE CONTINUED DOWN THE MOUNTAINS. HOWEVER, A FEW MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING FOR A SECOND TIME AND WE WERE FORCED TO HOLD THE JEEP ON THE MOUNTAINSIDE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE HAS DIED FROM THIS VEHICLE! THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURED ON TWO SEPARATE TRIPS, APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR APART, AFTER REPROGRAMMING THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT COMPUTER, AND REPLACING THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR AND REMAPPING THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT COMPUTER FOR A SECOND TIME. FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS I OWNED THIS VEHICLE, IT WAS IN THE SHOP OVER 36 TIMES FOR WARRANTY RELATED REPAIRS. WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK!( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/65R16 )

  LIKE MANY OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FROM 95 - 99 MY JEEP HAS STARTING CUTTING OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MANY COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED. THIS IS A WIDELY DOCUMENTED PROBLEM OF POOR QUALITY CONTROL LEADING TO SOLDER JOINT FAILURES ON THE ECM BOARD. THIS CAUSES AN INTERRUPTION OF THE SIGNAL AND CAUSE THE VEHICLES ENGINE TO DIE OR SPUTTER AT ANY SPEED OR TIME. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED WHEN THE PROBLEM IS SO WELL DOCUMENTED ON NUMEROUS JEEP WEBSITES. THIS JEEP ALSO SUFFERS FROM THE 50MPH SHAKE. *TR

BUT AFTER THIS THE VEHICLE STARTER TO MISS ONCE IN WHILE, BUT NOT STALL AT THAT TIME. THEN IT STARTED TO GET WORSE, IT STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS, ON THE CITY STREETS, HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY, RIGHT AFTER STARTING OR IF IT HAS RUN FOR AWHILE, THEN ACTS UP "THROW CODES" BUT NOTHING TO THE REASON WHY FUEL BANK OR SPEED SENSOR, NO SPARK. I LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND SHOOK WIRES AND IT WILL DIE OR RUN BETTER. NOW IT IS DOING IT TOO MANY TIMES, SOME TIMES IN WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY, BUT SOME TIMES IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO RESTART. I BURNED UP A STARTER, AND TWO NEW FRESH BATTERIES WITH THIS. WIFE CAN NOT DRIVE IT ANY MORE I HAVE REPLACED DISTRIBUTOR, CAM SENSOR, CRANK SENSOR, REMOVAL CONNECTION BLOCKS AND SOLDERED UP THE WIRE CONNECTIONS, WHICH ONLY HELPED TO GET POWER BACK IN THE BATTERY. I CAN STILL SHAKE THE WIRE LOOM, AND IT DIES OR RUNS BETTER TO THIS DATE. SO AS YOU SEE IT HAS NOT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER TO MAKE IT RUN BAD, WE CAN NOT DEPEND ON THIS ONLY VEHICLE NOW.

  ON DECEMBER 12, 2003, FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE YEARS, THE FUEL PUMP ON OUR JEEP FAILED. IN DISCUSSING THE FAILURE WITH TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEN WITH OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER, I WAS ADVISED THAT JEEP HAD DETERMINED THAT THE GAS TANK FOR THIS VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO CORROSION WHEREBY MINUTE PARTICLES FLOAT IN THE TANK AND CAN TRAVEL INTO THE FUEL PUMP (THE FILTER THAT JEEP PUTS IN THESE CARS IS NOT DESIGNED TO TRAP THESE SMALL PARTICLES) CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO FREEZE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT A TSB WAS ISSUED IN 1997 REGARDING THIS FAILURE (I BELIEVE IT IS TSB 140697). I NOTE THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST 42 REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON YOUR WEBSITE.
