STEERING
ANYTIME I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ONLY FIX IS TO SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 25 MPH IN MY CURRENT LANE. ONCE I GET TO THAT LOW OF A SPEED THE SHAKING STOPS. WHEN THE SHAKING OCCURS IT IS SO VIOLENT THAT I CAN'T CHANGE LANES OR GET ONTO THE SHOULDER. THEREFORE, THE ONLY OPTION IS TO SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 25 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY CURRENT LANE WHICH ISN'T SAFE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING IN DECEMBER 2016.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE ENTIRE FRONT END STARTED SHIMMYING FROM SIDE TO SIDE, THREATENING TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS. IT STOPPED WHEN I REDUCED SPEED TO UNDER 55 MPH. WHENEVER I TRIED TO GO OVER 55 MPH, THE JEEP RESUMED IT'S DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS NOT A SAFE CONDITION TO BE DRIVING A VEHICLE IN. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT A CONSTANT SPEED AND HIT A ROUGH AREA ON THE PAVEMENT AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND ROCK BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY. I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT, BUT HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD FOR THIS VIOLENT ROCKING TO STOP. IT IS NOT A CONSTANT PROBLEM, BUT OCCURS WHEN CERTAIN ROUGH AREAS OF PAVEMENT SET UP THIS VIOLENT VIBRATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. TRIED TO GET IT FIXED, SEEMED TO BE A MYSTERY. LEARNED THAT THIS IS EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS OF JEEPS AND OTHER SELECT VEHICLES. THERE ARE MANY, MANY DESCRIPTIONS AND VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET. I ALSO SEE COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON YOUR SITE. WHY DO YOU NOT CARE? WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING YOUR JOB? I DID NOT GET KILLED. IS THIS WHAT IT TAKES FOR YOU TO TAKE NOTICE? I WANT NOTHING, ONLY FOR THIS TO BE REMEDIED. IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY CONCERN & QUITE FRIGHTENING, ESPECIALLY THEN THIS OCCURS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
DEADH WOBBLE, REALLY BAD VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT , ESPECIALLY AFTER GOING OVER POTHOLE OR RAILROAD TRACKS, SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH . ITS GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE IS VERY EASY TO SOMEONE TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD EASILY CAUSE HARD TO THE DRIVER OR OTHERS INCLUDING DEAD, JEEP SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT WOBBLES TO THE POINT IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE. A PERSON COULD GET HURT IF THIS PLOBLEM DOEST GET LOOK INTO IT. YOU GUYS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO TEST MY VEHICLE AND SEE IF YOU GUYS WOULD DRIVE A VEHICLE LIKE THIS ON THE DAILY BASIS, IS LIKE A BOMB READY TO EXPLODE AT ANY TIME. IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT, I AM ALSO DOCUMENTING THAT I SUBMITTED THIS REQUEST TO YOU GUYS JUST ENCASE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME OR ANYONE. I WILL SAY I TOLD YOU SO.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE WIPERS KEEP TURNING ON BY THEMSELVES AND SOMETIMES WON'T SHUT OFF. THEY ALSO SOMETIMES COME ON WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS ARE USED, AND AGAIN SOMETIMES WON'T TURN OFF. THEY SOMETIMES WON'T TURN ON. ALSO, BULBS, SUCH AS HEADLIGHT, MARKERS, AND FOG LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT ON AN EXTREMELY FREQUENT BASIS. ALL THESE THING HAPPEN WHEN THE JEEP IS BOTH IN MOTION AND IDLING BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.....GOING FOREWORD AND DURING MID TURN. WHILE ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. ALL OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED DURING ALL 4 NEW YORK SEASONS. AND AT NO SPECIFIC TIME OF DAY. WE HAVE NO PHOTOS BUT THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THE JEEP WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2010 AND THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP WHICH INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT PHYSICALLY "SEE" IT HAPPEN THEREFORE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. I WILL PUT A DATE IN THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN BOX" BELOW AS A START POINT...BUT KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN TO THIS DAY. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER'S SIDE (LEFT) EXTERIOR SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. MIRROR FELL INTO ROAD WAY POSING A HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS. UPON RECOVERING MIRROR I FOUND THAT THE STRUCTURAL BASE THAT ATTACHED THE MIRROR TO THE BODY WAS SEVERELY CORRODED AWAY AND IT BROKE WHERE AN ATTACHING BOLT AFFIXED THE MIRROR TO THE MOUNT NOT AT THE POINT THE MOUNT ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. MY SELLING DEALER COVERED THIS UNDER OUR CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. BUT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD BOTH TO THE OWNER AND OTHERS AROUND THE VEHICLE OR OTHER DRIVERS. *TR
