SUSPENSION
RECEIVED A RECALL FOR A SAFETY ISSUE. TOOK JEEP TO DEALERSHIP IN MNT HOME, THEY CONFIRMED MY JEEP WAS PART OF THE RECALL AND NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS. I INFORMED THEM THAT I TRAVELED 45 MIN ON THE FREEWAY 80MPH FOR WORK SO IT WAS URGENT TO FIX. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK WITH AN APPOINTMENT EARLY THE FOLLOWING WEEK(THIS WAS ON 7/11). THEY NEVER CALLED BACK. I HAVE CALLED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES. ONE GUY TOLD ME I WASNT EVEN IN THEIR SYSTEM AND SAID HE WOULD CALL OTHER DEALERS TO TRY AND GET THE PART. EVERYTIME I CALL NOBODY IS AVAILABLE TO TAKE MY CALLS. ITS A SAFEY DRIVING ISSUE AND NOBODY HAS THE PART??? MY VEHICLE IS GETTING WORSE AND IS NOW AT A POINT WHERE YOU CAN HEAR IT CRACKING OR SNAPPING AND SCARY TO DRIVE AS IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SWERVY.

HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT. UPDATING INFORMATION. COMPLAINT #11105312. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 9 DAYS AFTER THE CUTOFF FOR THE 2006 RECALL # 06V288000. MY VEHICLE HAD THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT. IT WAS NOT ART OF THE 2006 RECALL HOWEVER, IT IS PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINTS. THE ORIGINAL CUTOFF BUILD DATE WAS MARCH 15, 2006. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED JUST 9 DAYS LATER ON MARCH 24, 2006. IT SEEMS FAR TOO MUCH A COINCIDENCE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME REAR BALL JOINTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RECALL AND REPLACEMENT, WHICH CHRYSLER HAS DONE, BUT THE FRONT BALL JOINTS WERE NOT COVERED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I WAS GOING 35MPH WHEN THE PART FAILED. THE FAILURE CAME WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND WAS INSTANTANEOUS. THE BALL JOINT BROKE AND INSTANTLY PIERCED THE ALLOY RIM AND DEFLATED THE TIRE. HAD I BEEN GOING 70MPH, I WOULD HAVE FLIPPED AND ROLLED INSTANTLY. FURTHERING THE ISSUE IS AS BEST I CAN DETERMINE, THE FRONT AND REAR BALL JOINTS ARE THE SAME PART. I AM REPORTING THAT SINCE MY INITIAL COMPLAINT, I FOUND OUT MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT A MERE 9 DAYS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL CUTOFF DATE.

I HAD TO HAVE MY FRONT SUSPENSION BALL JOINTS REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY VECHILE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT WAS BUILT IN MARCH 2006. THEY WERE ABOUT TO FALL APART WHEN I TOOK THEM TO BE REPAIRED. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. I HEARD A NOISE AND WHEN I TOOK WHAT I THOUGHT WAS BREAKS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS LUCKY THAT THE BALL JOINTS HAD NOT FALLEN OUT. I HAD JUST GOT BACK FROM A FOUR OUT DRIVE TO THE BEACH. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS ONLY ONE WINDOW THAT WILL COME DOWN AND IT'S THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, THEY ALL CAME DOWN AND WOULD NOT COME BACK UP. I REPLACED A REGULATOR IN THE RIGHT BACK WINDOW AND IT WENT AGAIN SO I JUST HAD THEM ALL PINNED UP. I'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE AC COMPRESSOR TWICE AND JUST PUT IN 07/06/2018. I HAD TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION PUT IN 3 YEARS AGO. AND NOW THE TRUCK IS JUST SHUTTING DOWN WHEN I COME TO A STOP BUT IT WILL START BACK UP. I HAD A DIAGNOSIS TEST DONE AND IT DIDN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS, BUT IT'S STILL SHUTTING DOWN AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. THE MECHANIC SAID IT IS PROBABLY SOMETHING ELECTRICAL OR HAS TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS A WHITE POWDER LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT COMES OUT OF THE AIR VENTS AND HAS AN OILY TEXTURE AND AN OVERPOWERING SMELL. IT CLOUDS THE WINDSHIELD AND OBSTRUCTS MY VISION. I CANNOT DRIVE IT DUE TO THE CLOUDING AND SMELL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING ANYWHERE, TURNING, OR STATIONARY. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN AS I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THE CAR. I CAN'T HAVE IT REPAIRED AS I CANNOT AFFORD IT. I HAVE A NICE VEHICLE, BUT CANNOT DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. SO THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN.

ENGINE
6/9/2018 AROUND 11:30 AM ENGINE - STARTS AND STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. WAS DRIVING AND SLOWED DOWN TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN NO WARNING. IT STARTED BACK UP; HOWEVER, THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF ME - CAR BEHIND ME STARTED BLOWING THE HORN CONTINUOUSLY; ALTHOUGH, FLASHER WAS TURNED ON IMMEDIATELY. IT OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR - 2 TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND ONE TIME WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN AS TRAFFIC CAME TO A NEAR HALT. VERY SCARY SITUATION. ABOUT 5-6 MONTHS AGO THIS OCCUR ABOUT 5-6 TIMES IN HEAVY AFTERNOON TRAFFIC DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS; NOW I SEE IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. HAS TO BE A BIGGER OR MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM JUST LOOK ONLINE. CAN NOT AFFORD TO ALLOW CAR TO IDLE TOO LONG. SAME VEHICLE WHERE ABS, ESP/BAS, TRACTION/ANTI-SKID LIGHTS REMAIN ON EVEN AFTER INSTALLING A NEW CLOCKSPRING AND ALL FOUR ABS SENSORS. DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES TO UPLOAD.
