  WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR EVEN A ROCK ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD, SOMETHING HAPPENS THE FRONT END IT STARTS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY ITS AS IF YOU HAD A BLOW OUT. NORMALLY AROUND 35 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEP OWNERS THEY CALL IT THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE." IT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES BACK AND FORTH. SLOWING DOWN DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUGGESTED YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE THERE IS NOT WAY OF PULLING OVER OR ON A ROAD AND IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE CITY STREETS. THIS CAN CAUSE A SITUATION, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THE ISSUE BUT HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME , BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING . THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. I HAVE NOT MADE VIDEO OF IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, BUT HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ON YOU-TUBE OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. ALSO THE ELECTRIC ON THE BLINKERS SEEM TO BE GOING OUT OFTEN ALSO. REPLACING A BULB DOES NOT WORK IT IS THE WHOLE SOCKET OR WIRING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I I RESEARCH THESE ISSUES MANY MANY JEEP OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING

  HEATER CORE CLOGGED. HEATER BLOWS WARM ON PASSENGER SIDE, WORKING ACROSS DASH HEAT HETS COLDER AS IT COMES ACROSS TO DRIVERS SIDE, DRIVER SIDE BLOWS EXTREMELY COLD. DEFROST BLOWS COLD. FROM WHAT I'VE READ IN JEEP FORUMS THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. HEATER CORE IS GETTING CLOGGED AND AFFECTING THE HEAT OUTPUT OF JEEP. OUR JEEP HAS ROUGHLY 112000 MILES ON AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE JEEP HAS HAD AROUND 50000 MILES. JEEP WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE WE WERE OVER 36000 MILES. I HAVE BLEW OUT HEATER CORE FLUSHING IT. THAT HELPS ALITTLE BIT BUT HEAT IS STILL NO WERE AS HOT AS IT SHOULD BE. REPLACING HEATER CORE INVOLVES PULLING ENTIRE DASH OUT OR CUTTING DASH SUPPORTS TO REMOVE HEATER CORE TO REPLACE JUST TO HAVE NEW HEATER CORE CLOG AGAIN. SOMETHING IN SYSTEM IS CAUSING HEATER CORES IN THESE JEEPS TO CLOGG ULTIMATELY CAUSING HEAT AND DEFROST NOT TO WORK AND BLOW COLD AIR.

  AT THE TIME I FIRST TRIED OUT THE VEHICLE & PRIOR TO PURCHASE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD & IT HAD TO BE "JUMP" STARTED. I REQUESTED THAT A NEW BATTERY BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO DELIVERY. I TOOK DELIVERY & ABOUT A WEEK LATER WENT ON VACATION, DID NOT TAKE JEEP. IT WAS NOT DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THE JEEP WOULD NOT START, AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I JUMPED IT & CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT, EVERY DAY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, I LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A DAY WITHOUT STARTING AND WHEN I TRIED IT WOULD NOT START. 8/19/13 TOOK JEEP TO THE DEALER TO GET PROBLEM WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FIXED. THEY TIGHTENED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL & REPROGRAMMED ONE OF THE COMPUTERS. 9/2/13 JEEP WOULD NOT START, HAD TO JUMP IT. DID NOT RUN IT OR TRY TO START IT YESTERDAY. 9/30/13 JEEP WOULD NOT START & WHEN I JUMPED IT THE UCONNECT SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK.. TOOK IT TO DEALER. THEY THINK THE RADIO IS DRAWING CURRENT FROM BATTERY. THEY REPLACED RADIO. 10/21/13. JEEP WOULD NOT START AFTER SETTING TWO DAYS. TOOK IT BACK TO JASPER JEEP. THEY ARE GOING TO TRY PUTTING A NEW BATTERY IN IT UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE A BATTERY POST. SERVICE MANAGER CHECKED THE RECORDS AND COULD NOT FIND WHERE A NEW BATTERY HAD BEEN INSTALLED PRIOR TO PURCHASE. 12/30/13 9:15AM TRIED TO START JEEP, IT WOULD NOT START. GOT CLICKING SOUND LIKE LOW BATTERY, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS WERE ON. THERE WAS A NEW DASH WARNING LIGHT ON, IT IS A RED LIGHTING BOLT. 9:38AM.

  THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH MY EMERGENCY BRAKE SINCE MY JEEP WAS NEW. IT DOES NOT HOLD ADEQUATELY, AND MUST BE PULLED EXTREMELY TIGHT TO EVEN ENGAGE AT ALL.

I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WHERE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WON'T HOLD IT. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO DRIVE WRANGLERS TOO AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING. DESIGN FLAW?

I HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BUT NEVER EXPERIENCED IT. THE WAY TO STOP IT IS TO TAP THE BREAKS BUT I COULD NOT BECAUSE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME. IT FELT LIKE THE SUSPENSION HAD BROKEN AND I WAS GOING TO PULL OVER THERE WERE 2 LANES TO THE RIGHT WITH CARS COMING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND TOOK MY JEEP IN THE NEXT NIGHT. THE CONFIRMED THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE BUT REFER TO IT AS THE STEERING DAMPER ISSUE. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY FILED AN EXPEDITED CLAIM PROCESS BUT DID NOT CALL ME BACK WHEN PROMISED. WHEN I CALLED AGAIN, THEY HAD SOMEONE CALL ME THE NEXT WORKING DAY. HE SAID HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE. I QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT IT AND EXPLAINED THAT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. HE DID NOT OFFER TO DO ANY THING.

AFTER RECEIVING THE SECOND NOTIFICATION I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY JEEP AND WAS TOLD I WAS THIRD ON THEIR LIST TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALL COMPLETED. MY SALES REP. EXPLAINED THE REASON FOR THE DELAY WAS CHRYSLER REQUIRES THE DEALERSHIP SEND BACK THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE THEY REPLACED BEFORE CHRYSLER WOULD SEND OUT A NEW ONE. HE INFORMED ME I WAS THIRD ON THE LIST FOR JEEPS EFFECTED BY THE RECALL AND ONCE THEY REACHED MY NAME AND RECEIVE A NEW TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. IN EARLY DECEMBER 2013, I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND I'M STILL THIRD ON THE LIST FOR REPLACEMENT. I ASKED WHY I WAS STILL THIRD, HE COULD NOT PROVIDE ME AN ANSWER, BUT INFORMED ME HE WOULD LOOK INTO IT, OVER TWO WEEKS LATER STILL NO ANSWER OR NOTIFICATION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURE CHRYSLER IS FOLLOWING, HOWEVER WAITING 4 MONTHS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT SEEMS RIDICULOUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY. *TR

  HEATER CORE ISSUE - MYSELF AND MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE HEATER CORE CLOGGING. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OCCURANCE IN ANY VEHICLE. THE REPAIRS ARE INVASIVE AND COSTLY (REMOVING STEERING COLUMN, DASH, CENTER CONSOLE, OVER $1000) OR DESTRUCTIVE IF DONE THE SHORT CUT WAY (CUTTING DASH/GLOVE BOX SUPPORTS TO REMOVE THE HEATER CORE). CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO PRETEND LIKE THIS ISSUE ISNT A RESULT OF SOME DESIGN FLAW. SO WE ARE FACED WITH SPENDING OVER A $1000, OR CUTTING A DASH SUPPORT OR DRIVING AROUND WITH NO HEAT OR TRADING OUR VEHICLES IN. IT TRULY BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW OR EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER AND YOUR WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STARTS TO FREEZE UP.

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (BILLY BENDER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD ME ON A WAITING LIST TO GET THE REQUIRED PARTS.
