| Description of the problem | 2010 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited: i recently took my jeep to the dealership to attend to another recall and check out some problems - overflowing gas tank, squealing brakes, rough idle in traffic, increasingly rough and loud ride. I purchased my jeep new 18 months ago and it now has approximately 22k miles. They replaced the gas tank which i now understand is a common issue on the 2010 rubicons. They told me i needed to replace both rotors which are no longer covered under warranty due to debris getting caught between the brake pad and rotor on both rear brakes. And, they explained the loud/rough ride was from the uneven wear on my front tires. The tread on my front tires showed severe cupping. The tech said it was from not rotating my tires often enough and this is a common problem on jeeps since the front has more "play" and the rear is more "solid". He said there was nothing wrong with my jeep. I questioned whether the significant uneven wear was acceptable after only 22k miles. He offered no other solution other than rotating the damaged tires to the back and wait for them to wear evenly. My concern was rotating the tires would just create issue with my other two tires as well. He said it's just normal and i'd need to replace all of my tires soon anyway. With the age of the vehicle being only 18 months with 22k miles, i question if this issue is not related to my suspension. *kb |
