2016 Jeep Cherokee Tires & Wheels Problems

I got 4 changed but still issue tires bad air pressure

On 1/30/2023, I had a flat tire and called AAA for assistance. The AAA technician was unable to remove the tire and said the vehicle would need to be taken to a full-service auto shop. I then called Firestone Complete Auto Care to see if my vehicle could be looked at there. The Firestone technician let me know the problem with getting the tire off was relating to the lug nuts. He explained Jeep started using a 2-piece lug nut, where water gets inside and causes swelling. The technician said he has seen this numerous times in Jeeps...and mentioned it should be a recall because it is a safety issue. I contacted Jeep 5 times about this. They said there is no recall, and they didn't really care to help me with this. I ended up paying to replace all the lug nuts on my vehicle because I didn't want to have the same thing happen or worse. The people at Jeep have been very dismissive about this, although I have seen many complaints and reviews relating to the same lug nut issue.

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BROKEN CONTROL ARM BOLT.

WE OWN A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE. LAST NIGHT MY WIFE WAS STRANDED WITH A FLAT ALONG A BUSY HIGHWAY. SHE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE TIRE BUT COULD NOT GET THE LUG NUTS OFF. I DROVE TO THE SITE AND YES EVERY LUG NUT ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SWELLED AND WILL NOT BUDGE EVEN WITH IMPACT WRENCH. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET. YET JEEP REFUSES TO ADMIT THE ISSUE OR EVEN WARN IT'S CUSTOMERS TO CHECK THIS IN CASE YOU GET A FLAT. MY WIFE IS NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANYWHERE. I GET MY OIL CHANGED AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. YOU THINK THEY COULD WARN THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE? YOU THINK THEY WOULD CHECK FOR THIS ISSUE WHEN WE BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERSHIP? WHY DID I HAVE TO LEARN OF THIS ISSUE AFTER THE FACT. WHY DID I HAVE TO LEARN OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET?

THE LUG BOLTS HAVE A THIN CHROME COVER. THESE LUG BOLTS SEEM TO SWELL AS MOISTURE ENTERS OVER TIME. THEY ALSO BECOME DAMAGED AS MAINTENANCE SUCH AS TIRE ROTATION IS PERFORMED. THEY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITH THE TOOLS SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT TIRE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE STRANDED. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE FIAT CHRYSLER GROUP LINE.

I HAD A FLAT TIRE. AFTER MOUNTING THE SPARE TIRE AND TORQUEING THE LUG BOLTS, (YES THEY ARE BOLTS NOT NUTS) I FOUND THAT THE WHEEL WAS STILL LOOSE. I DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE LUG BOLTS BEING TOO LONG FOR THE STEEL SPARE WHEEL WHICH IS NOT THE SAME THICKNESS AS THE ALUMINUM FACTORY WHEELS

2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 4X4 WON'T START. WHEN FINALLY START, IT SHUTS OFF THE AC SYSTEM. 3 TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK ON A BUSY STREET. THE BATTERY IS STILL NEW ACCORDING TO A A TESTER.

I PURCHASED MY 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE IN MARCH OF 2016, AND TOOK DELIVERY IN JUNE OF 2016. AFTER HAVING MUNTI0LE MAINTENANCE ISSUES WITH IT, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY JEEP HAD 2 DIFFERENT TIRE SIZES ON IT. TWO TIRES HAD A CIRCUMFERENCE OF 60R AND THE OTHER TWO HAD A CIRCUMFERENCE OF 65R. FIAT-CHRYSLWR HAS REFUSED TO MAKE AMENDS TO THIS POINT. I DID NO FIND OUT UNTIL AFTER DRIVING 11,000 MILES.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON 4/16/16 IN LANSING MICHIGAN. HAVE CONSISTENTLY HAD ISSUES WITH TIRES HOLDING CORRECT PRESSURE. HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED LOSS OF PRESSURE, BUT NO LEAKS FOUND. WILL NOT REPLACE TIRES UNDER WARRANTY. NO DAMAGE HAS BEEN SUSTAINED TO ANY OF THE TIRES AT ANY TIME. ALL FOUR TIRES DEFECTIVE.
