Is this for real?

[TheBirdie72]

I got new 17x9 Pro Comp wheels and put a set of 33 inch Falken Wildpeak AT3W’s on them. The work was done by a non-Jeep dealer tire shop. If something like this happened to me, I wouldn’t even think to take it to a dealership to address. No way. I’d just go back to the tire shop that did the work and have them fix it. In general, dealers don’t mess with non-OEM parts…usually. ?‍

LOL, that is not a problem, I have warranty and an appt Mon at 4 to have tighten up at Sams.

For those of you on the dealer's side, try reading this again: The Dealer stated REPEATEDLY it was: "the NON OEM TIRES, 35s do not come on a 2023 JLR, that is a QUOTE!!! He did not care about the wheels, its the TIRES folks...but for $480+ Tax they will cheerfully fix it...

He did NOT place blame on the Wheels or Sam's Club, it was TIRES, wrong size!

He also mentioned the tailgate, I have the 35 there also. I told him I had the reinforced tailgatge option. He said does not make any difference, its a non OEM size and not under warranty if it breaks.

Here we go: 35 x 12:50 x 17:9.50

I am on the dealers side. What is so difficult to understand? Sam's Club last touched the TPMS!!!!! Take it back to them.
When you start screwing with things on your Jeep, those things you screwed with are now out of factory warranty. Period!! It doesn't matter if a Service Writer voids the warranty for the tires. Switching tires could knock one loose. Changing rims is what I would have voided the TPMS Warranty for.

reread Zancwhites comment. If you had rims installed somewhere else why would that be the dealers issue? I am not on the dealers side but you my friend have no argument here. The fact you are trying to get OEM to warranty the dumb idiots at Sams is the issue.

Believe it or not, some service writers don’t know shit about vehicle verbiage. When they say tires, they could mean both tires and wheels. I wouldn’t get hung up about it. Just have it all done either back at Sam’s or a reputable tire shop.


ITS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIIIIIIIME OF THE YEAR, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Why not disable the TPMS and be done with it for the entire life of the Jeep? TPMS is the worst.

I think you are splitting hairs here and getting hung up on verbiage. Fact is most dealers wouldn’t warranty the TPMS when installed into aftermarket wheels and tires post OEM. That’s the risk you run when doing aftermarket stuff. Had you used the dealership to install the tires and wheels you would’ve been good. Sorry, you rolled the dice and came up short.

 

[jlandry287]

The dealer is technically in the right. You made modifications which voids the warranty for that part/parts modified. In this case the wheel and tires.

Same as adding an aftermarket lift, they’ll no longer honor the warranty on the suspension system

This. If you mod the Jeep and there’s an issue with parts or systems that have been modified, THOSE parts/systems will NOT be covered by warranty. The semantics makes no difference. Sorry, but that’s just life. You can change anything on your rig you want to, but if that change cause issues, it’s your nickel.

I'm not at all on the dealers side, just logic and common sense. Your tires are clearly non-oem. Even if they were on factory wheels, they were touched by whoever installed the tires and at that point the dealer isn't going to fix them for free.

The dealer was doing you a favor by not molesting your Jeep, too.

Your service writer is a liar. There’s no way to know the sensor “came loose” just from sitting in the vehicle and looking at the dash. Aside from that, it would still work until it gets beat to death by bouncing around inside the tire

There’s also no good reason to deny a tpms warranty without being able to verify whether or not there’s physical damage. Sensors don’t go bad by correctly swapping from one wheel to another. 99% of the time they go bad because the battery dies, or they were physically damaged somehow.

Anyone that says otherwise is wrong.

That said, fighting for a tpms sensor warranty isn’t a hill to die on. Best practice is to replace with new when you get tires. Sam’s will likely take care of it with much less fuss than the dealer.

Like when somehow is a tire being removed and the sensor swapped to a new rim at a Sam's?

 

[2nd 392]

I got 35’s and even paid more to have 4.56’s dealer install (also recommended aftermarket for recal, in writing on printout) because he said they “Normally” look the other way for warranty when they install. Definition of “Normally” to be determined with an issue.

Maybe.

But like I said, there’s no way to know that from the driver seat.

The title of this thread bears way more weight than I believe the OP intended.
