You are in the Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
We live in the suburbs of NYC and get lots of Snow--EVERYONE assured me the JEEP would be GREAT in the snow and that we would NOT need SNOW tires--I emailed Jeep and they told me--that there are no other tires made for this --at this time--so--We had our first Nor'easter 2/14--ha ha--couldn't make it out of the parking spot --let alone the driveway--my subaru legacy GT 2.5--blew away---even without the clearance--my hubby --almost slid the jeep right into the subaru--then into the house--then we parked it til the next day---DO NOT drive it in the SNOW AND ICE--JEEP ENGINEERS--SALESMAN--I would've bought it anyway--but you should've been more forthcoming!!!....

Replying to: srt8fan (Feb 03, 2007 3:22 pm) I don't know exactly what the stereo shop is installing but this looks like it: * Peripherals CHYAA 2005-Up Chrysler Add-An-Amp Interface http://www.installationproducts.com/s.nl?it=A&id=5139 (looks like it is for sale here) http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=904 (not avail here, and also more expensive) Description says: The CHYAA CAN interface is designed to add an aftermarket amplifier to the existing factory sound systems in the 2005-2006 Dodge Durango, Magnum, Charger, Ram, 300, and Jeep. The new Peripheral network integration device simply plugs in to the back of the factory radio allowing control of the aftermarket amplifier. One connection of the included amplifier turn-on wire and consumers are ready to enjoy their music with the amplification they expect from a high-end sound system. Seems straightforward enough... Took long enough (over a year) to get this out in the market! |

Replying to: paulad (Feb 16, 2007 11:27 am) The good news here is that up until now, this has been a mild winter here in Michiga, however, we just had our first big snow of the season too. Although I wouldn't characterize the GC SRT8 as great in the snow with the standard rubber, I made it through okay and much better than I would have in a rear wheel drive performance car without snow tires. I've been saying it here for a long time, the GC SRT8 is not an SUV, it's a performance vehicle (or muscle car). It's not set up to perform like an SUV and those that expect that are going to be disappointed. Snow or not, it's still damn fun to drive... |

Hey guys. I have had my SRT8 for only 7 months and I've put 14K miles on it, mainly highway commuting. My brakes have been squeaking like crazy for the last few weeks and the brake dust build up is unbelievable. I took my Jeep in to the dealer and the service guy said he would "look into" the issue for me. I saw one other posting from a while ago that had a similar situation. Any advice on what I need to do to make sure I am not stuck with a $1000 bill?? Is this going to happen every 14K miles or so??? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Replying to: ctgcsrt8 (Mar 01, 2007 7:07 pm) ctgcsrt8, tire replacement/repair is fully covered under the road hazard warranty at any authorized Goodyear dealer (for the first year).

Replying to: ctgcsrt8 (Mar 03, 2007 12:18 pm) However I did check with my dealer since I had a service contract and they said it wasn't covered. The tire dealer was able to get a tire the same day. They don't seem that hard to get. I don't think that road hazards are covered by any standard warranty from Goodyear. Maybe if you buy a new tire and opt for an extra road hazard guarantee. Has anyone had a tire replaced at no charge due to a road hazard (nail, screw, etc)? |
