ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE CAR BEGAN TO POWER DOWN. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A 18 WHEELER BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN PROPERLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, SWITCH GEARS, STOP OR START. MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY JEEP TWICE IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 3 SEPARATE TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS DOING 65 DOWN A TEXAS HIGHWAY. SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE. ON PRESSING THE THE MOTOR REVVED UP BUT THERE WAS NO TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN DRIVE. WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO SHIFT INTO PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ALL THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND THE AUTOMATIC VEHICLE SHUTOFF FEATURE WAS DISABLED. I HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT SO THEY GAVE IT BACK HAVING DRIVEN IT 100 MILES AND TAKEN A QUARTER TANK OF GAS DOING SO. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE VEHICLE MUCH DUE TO THE PANDEMIC BUT YESTERDAY THE THIRD OCCURENCE HAPPENED IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED AT 65 MPH DUE TO THIS FAILURE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED WITH NO PRIOR INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. THIS MADE THE VECHILE VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AT LOW SPEED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP. THE REPAIR REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF A COMPLETE RACK AN PINION SYSTEM AS THE PUMP IS A INTEGRATED PART. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILES.

SEATS
THE LOWER LEATHER DRIVER'S SEAT HAS LOST IT'S BOLSTERING WITHIN ONE YEAR OF PURCHASE. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOOSE LOWER SEAT SUPPORT WHICH ALLOWS THE SEATED DRIVER TO LEAN AGAINST THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING.

THE JEEP MAKES A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN PLACING IT INTO ANY GEAR AND YOU CAN FEEL A PUSH FORWARD. I TOOK THE JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. FIRST THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE IT HAPPEN TO THEM AND I NEEDED ME TO COME IN AND SHOW THEM. WHEN I GOT THERE AND SHOWED THEM AND THE MECHANIC FIRST THOUGHT IT COULD BE SOMETHING AND PUT IT UP TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN. HE MADE IT REPEAT THE POPPING AND LURCHING MOVEMENT MULTIPLE TIMES THEN CAME BACK AND SAID ALL JEEPS DO THIS AND IT IS NORMAL. BUT NOW IT IS WORSE AND IT IS ALSO POPPING AND LURCHING WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN USING THE VIEW SCREEN FOR NAVIGATION I CONTINUE TO GET WEATHER ALERTS FOR LOCATIONS THAT 100S MILES AWAY FROM ME. WHICH MAKE ME LOOK DOWN AT THE SCREEN TO TOUCH THE OK BUTTON TO GET BACK TO THE NAVIGATION. THE FEATURE TO TURN OFF WEATHER ALERTS IS NOT PROGRAMMED INTO THE HEAD UNIT, WHICH SENDS OUT NON RELATED WEATHER ALERTS CONSTANTLY DURING MY DRIVING. AGAIN, FORCING ME TO LOOK DOWN AT THE SCREEN TO TOUCH OK! VERY DANGEROUS TO BE OPERATING THE SCREEN HEAD UNIT WHILE DRIVING. EVERY FEW MINUTES! VEHICLE IN MOTION. *TR

HELLO. I HAVE FOUND MANY ISSUES WITH MY UCONNECT SYSTEM AND WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED (HACKED). I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO JEEP AND THE SIRIUS/CM SYSTEM. 1 OCCASION MY SOS/ASSIST FEATURE WAS DEACTIVATED WHILE I WAS IN THE CAR. ANOTHER TIME LIGHT CHANGED FROM RED TO GREEN ON ANOTHER OCCASION WITHOUT TOUCHING IT. 2 SYSTEM WAS RESET AND SHOWING PHONES BEING CONNECTED THAT HAD BEEN TOTALLY REMOVED FROM UCONNECT SYSTEM. 3 ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASION MY UCONNECT LINKS/APPS WERE NOT LOADED... TOTALLY DISAPPEARED AFTER BEING THERE AND CAR WAS ON FOR MORE THEN AN HOUR. 4 SETTINGS BUTTON/ OPTION TO ADJUST IMPORTANT INFORMATION SOMETIMES NOT ON SCREEN. 5 MAP NAVIGATION GIVING MISDIRECTION AND HAD ME DRIVING IN CIRCLES BACK TO MY STARTING POINT. 6 SCREEN FREEZING AND NOT ALLOWING ME TO DISCONNECT PHONE/CHANGE SCREENS...ALSO HAD ISSUES WHERE MY SCREENS WOULD JUMP FROM ONE THING TO THE NEXT WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING. DO NOT KNOW IF MY UCONNECT WAS ACCESSED DURING THE TIME PERIOD MY PHONE WAS HACKED INTO AND I HOOKED IT UP THROUGH CARPLAY OR IF A "LOCK LINK " WAS USED. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH BECAUSE I THOUGHT ALL THESE WERE ODD AND IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR "LOW LIFES" TO GET INTO THESE COMPUTER SYSTEMS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PHONE COMPANY, JEEP FCA CASE MANAGEMENT, APPLE ON THE ISSUES OF MY HACKED PHONE AND UCONNECT SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND WHEN I TRIED STARTING IT WOULD NOT TURN ON THE ENGINE. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD ILLUMINATE WAS THE SPEEDOMETER AREA. THE AUDIO UNIT WOULD TURN ON OFF AND THEN ON AND THEN OFF. I TRIED ABOUT 10 TIMES AND WOULD NOT START THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED.

THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM HAS A WEATHER ALERT NOTIFICATION THAT CAN'T BE DISABLED. IT TAKES UP THE ENTIRE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN AND DOES NOT GO AWAY UNLESS I TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO CLICK ON IT TO CLOSE THE WINDOW. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY IN MY JEEP WITH A WIND ADVISORY. PRETTY ABSURD NOTIFICATION ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. I LIVE ON THE WEST COATS AND UNDERSTAND IT CAN BE WINDY. SUPER DANGEROUS TO CONSTANTLY POP UP AND MAKE ME CLOSE IT MANUALLY.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER GOING THROUGH AN AUTO CAR WASH THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE CAR ROLLED INTO A POLE WHILE PULLING UP TO A VACUUM STATION ABOUT 50 YARDS FROM THE EXIT. I BELIEVE THE ABS SYSTEM NOTIFIED THE CAR THAT IT WAS IN A SLIDE BECAUSE THE REAR WHEELS CONTINUE TO ROTATE WHILE THE FRONT WHEELS ARE NOT ROTATING WHILE BEING PULLED THROUGH THE CAR WASH TRACKS. THEREFORE TRICKING THE SYSTEM INTO THINKING IT SHOULD NOT BRAKE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED.
