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)? |

ctgcsrt8, do you have an '06 or '07? I wonder if they changed the warranty? I know of several '06 owners who have had tires fixed or repaired under the EMT warranty. From the Goodyear "EMT Owner's Manual and Limited Warranty" pamphlet I have: What is covered and for how long Any new Goodyear Extended Mobility Technology tire removed from service due to a covered warranty condition or rendered not repairable due to a road hazard injury during the first 2/32" of treadwear or 12 months from date of purchase, whichever occurs first, will be replaced at no charge. Mounting and balancing are included. Repairable punctures will also be repaired at no charge during this period. Without proof of purchase date of manufacture will be used to determine age.

Replying to: tloke1 (Mar 03, 2007 12:48 pm) I should also mention that the owners manual that I received with the vehicle was for a Grand Cherokee, not for an SRT8. I ordered an SRT manual from Jeep directly. I read somewhere that other owners received the wrong manual also. Did I get the wrong Goodyear booklet also ? Why do I think my dealer put the wrong package in the glove box ? |
