Upon inspection of leaking tire, it was discovered that the steel re-enforcement was protruding in two (2) locations, approximately 8-10" apart inside tire and outside tire. Tire was replaced with spare tire for now. Good year Wrangler sr-a 255/75 R17, manufactured 2017, original tire on 2017 Jeep Wrangler unlimited, 13,200 miles. Vehicle was at Dodge/Jeep dealer for service on 02 Jan 2019 with tire rotation - no mentioning of tire issue from dealer. Tire changed next morning in our drive way.
I was driving home from work on old country road in plainview goin about 40 mph, the rear wheels of the Jeep completely locked up while moving, causing the car to come to a violent stop, nearly causing an accident. The vehicle was un-drivable and needed to be towed to the dealership where it was purchased. Security Dodge in amityville found leaking fluid from the rear of the vehicle, a hole in the rear axel housing, further inspection found pinion failure causing damage to rear end and axel shaft. The dealership refused to offer any type of buyout or lease termination option, I made it clear to them that I didn't feel safe getting back into this vehicle, they told me that the rental car that was given to me during the repair time was due back or it would be reported as stolen, furthermore they told me of the Jeep was not removed from the property, they would charge me storage fees. They offered no explanation fro why this safety defect occurred, what caused it and whether or not it could happen again. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle and this was not handled professionally by the dealership nor the Jeep manufacturer
