ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:HOSES/LINES/PIPING/FITTINGS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
THE AIR CONDITION (A/C) HOSE BROKE AND SQUIRTED OIL ON THE SERPENTINE BELT, CAUSING IT TO DETERIORATE AND BREAK. THE HOSE APPEARED TO BE CUT, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT A STRAND OF THE BELT HAD BROKEN AND, BY CONSTANTLY WHIPPING THE HOSE, WHICH IS MUCH TOO CLOSE TO THE BELT, EVENTUALLY WORE THROUGH THE HOSE. I LOST BOTH POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH. *LA

STRUCTURE
VEHICLE ROLLED OVER WHEN BLACK ICE WAS HIT, DESIGN OF VEHICLE BEING REASON FOR ROLLOVER. *MR THE VEHICLE WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL, WHEN THE VEHICLE A PATCH OF BLACK ICE AND CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE THEN WENT INTO A DITCH (SIDEWAYS & BACKWARDS), THEN HAD COME TO REST ON IT'S WHEELS. THE CONSUMER FELT THIS OCCURRED DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING BUILT TOO HIGH AND WAS HARD TO CONTROL IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. REFER TO 10884096. *SCC *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THIS VEHICLE HAS A RECURRING BRAKING CONDITION. THE FRONT BRAKES LOCK-UP WHEN NORMAL TO MODERATE BRAKE PRESSURE IS APPLIED WHILE DRIVING ON WET PAVEMENT. THE RESULT IS THAT IT SENDS THE VEHICLE INTO A SLIDE. THE LOCK-UP IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN ON ASPHALT THAN CONCRETE, AND HAS NOT BEEN NOTED, YET, ON DRY SURFACES. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN TESTED BY THE SELLING DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY AND SAFE. AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT, I TOOK THE JEEP TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT WHERE I WOULD NOT HIT ANYTHING. I CHECKED IT AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, AND AT JUST 15 MPH AND WITH NORMAL TO MODERATE BRAKE PRESSURES, THE BRAKES WOULD LOCKUP; RENDERING NO CONTROL UNTIL THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED. WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE, THE JEEP WOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTINUE IN THE DIRECTION THE WHEELS WERE POINTED. I AM 60, DRIVEN ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES AND IN MANY DIFFERENT LOCATION OVER THE WORLD, AND TO DATE, HAVE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE RESPOND THIS WAY. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG AND I FEEL THAT AN EXAMINATION, MORE IN DEPTH THAN THE DEALERSHIP CAN PERFORM, IS NEEDED TO ISOLATE THE CAUSE. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY WIFE AND GRANDCHILDREN SAFETY, AND BESIDES REPORTING THE CONDITION, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF NHTSA HAS A FACILITY IN THIS AREA THAT COULD CONDUCT ADDITIONAL TESTING OF THIS NATURE. AND IF SO, WHAT WOULD BE THE COST? *PH

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
I HAVE HAD MY JEEP AT THE DEALERS 3 TIMES REGARDING AN INSANELY LOUD "FEEDBACK" THAT COMES FROM MY STEREO AND SPEAKERS WITH NO WARNING. THE RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND IT STILL HAPPENS. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS DUMBFOUNDED. IT WILL HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING AND IS INCREDIBLY STARTLING. IT ABOUT CAUSED ME TO WRECK THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. IT IS SPARATIC BUT ONCE IT HAPPENS IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN FFOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME AFTER THAT. ONCE THE RADIO IS TURNED OFF, YOU MAY THEN COME BACK AN HOUR LATER AN IT MAY BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. MAY BE A GROUND ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND IT! STILL HAPPENING...SOMEONE HELP!!!!! ALSO CORROSION ON MY WHEELS. ONLY HAS 20K MILES. NOT GOOD...OTHER THAN THESE PROBLEMS...I TRULY ENJOY THE VEHICLE.*AK
