| Description of the problem | Purchased a used 2004 jeep wrangler rubicon with 11000 miles on the odometer, after driving the vehicle for several months i noticed that the odometer seamed to be reading slow, so i had the odometer checked by a state trooper and found out that at 45 mph i was only moving at 40 mph. With further investigation i found that the tires and rims are not the right size for the vehicle. The tires that where on the jeep when i purchased it are p225/75r15, the manufacturer recommends lt245/75r16, is this vehicle safe to drive? The dealership where i purchased the jeep from refuses to make it right. Would the 11000 miles on the odometer be right or could it be more? *jb |
