ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
WHILE RAINING WATER DRAINS INTO VEHICLE FROM SUNROOF CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. LIGHTS CONSTANTLY FLICKERING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF, INTERIOR WATER DAMAGE, RUSTING INSIDE COMPONENTS. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY FORCING ME TO KEEP HEADLIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM AT ALL TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS IN MOTION ON STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS BEING THAT WHILE THE CAR IS GOING THROUGH THIS THE TURNING SIGNALS, WIPER BLADES, AIR CONDITIONING TURN OFF AND ON. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY FOR REAR SEATBELTS THE BELTS ARE CONSTANTLY JAMMING KEEPING MY CHILDREN CAPTIVE AND AT SOME POINTS IT WILL NOT SUCCESSFULLY LATCH.

ENGINE
WITH NO WARNING,(NO NOISE FROM ENGINE) TRAVELING ABOUT 25MPH ENGINE LIGHT FLASH ON, LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, BECAME HARD TO STEER, WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE ROAD. LATER LEARNED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATION RECALLED THIS ENGINE 5.7 HEMI IN OTHER PRODUCTS, BUT NOT THE JEEP. THIS IS A TIME BOMB

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LEAKING WATER THROUGH SIDE DRIVER HANDLE ALSO CARPETS SOAKED WHEN RAINS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING THROUGH THE YEARS. SAFETY ISSUE NOW I BELIEVE IS AFFECTING MY ELECTICAL IN DOOR PANEL. PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW WILL NOT WORK FROM DRIVERS SIDE.NOW LEAKING FROM LIGHT FIXTURE. WILL IT AFFECT ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL IN THE FUTURE? WHEN JEEP WAS NEW DOOR HINGE WAS REPLACED RUSTED OUT. NEED IT DONE AGAIN. THIS IS NOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE TO REPLACE HINGES. THE DOOR SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO CRACK IN HALF WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING. WOULDNT BE SUPRISED IF IT FELL OFF. ITS THE SAME SIDE AS THE LEAKS. IM PUTTING TODAYS DATE BECAUSE ITS ALL THE TIME. ALSO IVE READ THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE SUNROOF. BUT NOT VEHICLES BEFORE 2009? ALL RECALLS AND SUITS MATCH MY SITUATIONS BUT MY VIN # DOESNT COME UP?? NOT RIGHT AT ALL. THERE ARE SO MANY FLAWS IN THIS JEEP BUT WHAT IM COMPLAINING ABOUT IS SERIOUS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR AND BRONZED AND HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE VEINS RUNNING TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE MIRROR. I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY AT ALL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE JEEP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS DISCONTINUED AND NOT COVERED BY MY LIFETIME WARRANTY. THE DEALER AND BODY SHOPS HAVE TOLD ME THEY EXPERIENCED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. THE MIRROR HAS DEFROST AND ELECTRICAL MOVEMENT. I FEEL THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES. MY JEEP ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 69,500 MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHER THAN THIS MIRROR. THE SIDE MIRROR AND NOT BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY PHYSICALLY FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED. THE GLASS IS SMOOTH AND DOES REFLECT LIGHT, HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEE CLEARLY AT ALL FROM THE DRIVER SEAT. THE BRONZING DOES NOT ALLOW A REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR OF WHAT IS BESIDE ME.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS IN MATTOON ILLINOIS,HAD BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT FROM DAIRY QUEEN ONTO A SIDE ROAD I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN FOR A MAIN ROAD AS I HAD THE CLEAR TO MAKE MY TURN I PROCEEDED TO DO SO WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. I LOST MY STEERING, MY BREAKS AND ACCELERATION. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP HALF WAY IN THE TURN LANE OF THE MAIN ROAD I GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS LAYING UP UNDER MY JEEP. IT HAD BUSTED MY UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS, MY CV SHAFT, AND MY BREAK LINES AND ALSO BENT MY INNER AND OUTER TIE ROD ENDS AND MY TIRE AND RIM. FROM THERE IT HAD TO BE TOWED CLEAR BACK TO MY HOME IN TOLEDO ILLINOIS. I THANK GOD EACH AND EVERY DAY THAT I HAD NOT MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY AND WAS DOING 55MPHS BECAUSE I HAD MYSELF AND THREE SMALL CHILDREN RANGING FROM 3MONTHS OLD UP TO 3 YEARS OLD IN THE VEHICAL WITH ME AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY HAD I MADE IT TO THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND WAS GOING ANY FASTER.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SUNROOF DRAIN DESIGN WAS FAULTY. DURING RAINING WEATHER, THE SUNROOF DRAINS CANNOT HANDLE THE COLLECTED RAIN AND THE RAIN WILL OVERFLOW AND GO INTO THE CAR. THE RAIN THAT OVERFLOWS FALLS INTO THE FRONT PANEL AND HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND SHORTAGES. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE WATER HAS DAMAGED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HEADLIGHT CONTROLS WHICH CAUSES THEM TO SHUT OFF WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE
MY VEHICLE SHUTS-OFF/ STALLS WHILE DRIVING. WITHIN THE FIRST 3-5 MILES OF DRIVING IN TRUCK, STALLS ONCE PER DAY WHEN I SLOW TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IT STALLED ONCE ON A CITY STREET WHEN I PUT IS IN REVERSE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE STEERING WHEEL LOSES POWER. I QUICKLY PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. TO DATE, IT HAS STALLED 11-TIMES. I FOUND THE AN ESTIMATED 300,000 CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN 2007 AND 2008 WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME STALLING PROBLEM THAT I AM EXPERIENCING. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE PROBLEM WHERE THE ENGINE MAY STALL WHILE IN MOTION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE SKID PLATE BELOW THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY. THE SKID PLATE IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE GAS TANK SECURE TO THE JEEP. THERE ARE NO OTHER RETAINING STRAPS. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE GAS TANK WAS ABLE TO DROP AND SECURED IT WITH RUBBER STRAPS UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED. THE JEEP COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. A FULL TANK OF GAS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE TANK TO DROP THROUGH THE RUSTED SKID PLATE. THE JEEP ALSO HAS SKID PLATES BELOW THE FRONT AND MID DRIVE COMPONENTS. THEY HAVE NOT RUSTED AT ALL. THERE IS NO RUST ON THE JEEP ANYWHERE ELSE. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE RUSTED COMPONENT WHILE IN PLACE AND AFTER IT WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED. I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF A PROBLEM.
