No problems were experienced prior to Jan 31st, at which point my rear driverside tire blew out, through a tear in the sidewall. It appeared through slash marks, which I first I thought was vandalism. After closer inspection of all the other tires, I have found the same marks, and in the driverside front tire, a gap that is about to blow out as well. When I realized it was likely a defective set of tires, I called Goodyear. They told me to take the car into a dealer for inspection. The dealer confirmed it was a set of defective tires. Then they told me because I had good use up to that point, that I don't get to have full-price replacement, but only partial credit. The tires have been perfectly maintained, and would last me at least another 3-4 years because of my light-driving habits, and I don't have the resource to replace all my tires, nor can I continue to drive the car in this condition, it is unsafe!

I own a 2007 Jeep Liberty limited at any given time while driving the gears seem to slip which causes the slippage light to turn on. I've taken to several Jeep garages and I'm told it's not the Jeep it's the way I drive the Jeep that is causing this slippage of the tires or the transmission. Can you help me with this problem?
