CHRYSLER STEERING LINKAGE Complaints

2014 JEEP - CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK - DIFFERENTIAL MALFUNCTIONING. THERE SEEM TO BE WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL MALFUNCTIONING. TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING FLUID ALL OVER. THEY CHECKED THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEVEL AND NOTED EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF METAL PRESENT IN DIFF. AND FLUID THAT LEAKED. THIS MAKES THE CAR VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE WHEELS CAN LOCK ANYTIME. THEY CALLED THE DEALER FOR PARTS AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF CARS WITH SUCH ISSUES. THERE ARE SHORTAGE OF THE PART NATIONWIDE. MORE THAN 150 CASES REPORTED TO THE DEALER IN SANTA CRUZ. THE DEALER IS EXPECTING TO RECEIVE 50 PARTS AFTER 45 DAYS LEAVING MORE THAN 100 VEHICLES WITH NO SOLUTION. THE MECHANIC WAS IN SHOCK TO SEE THE EXCESSIVE DAMAGE AND DEEMED THE CAR AS A TICKING TIME BOMB. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/CHEROKEE/DIFFERENTIAL-UNIT-PROBLEMS.PHP JEEP NEED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND SUPPORT FOR THE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE NOT UNABLE TO USE THE CAR OR USE IT AND PUT THEIR LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER.

THERE HAVE BEEN THREE SEPARATE EVENTS THAT OCCURED RELATED TO THE FRONT STEERING SHAKING ON THE VEHICLE. TWO OCCURRED BEFORE I HAD THE RECALL DONE CALLED 02V41182 STEERING DAMPER. DRIVING ~60 MPH, ~30 DEGREES F, AND AFTER HITTING A BUMP. I THEN TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE WORK COVERED UNDER THE STEERING DAMPENER TO BE FIXED. APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, I WAS DRIVING AND THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. I AM SCARED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY LIFE AND INTEGRITY OF THE STEERING SYSTEM AS ALL THREE EVENTS OCCURRED ON THE THE HIGHWAY.

THE SHIFTER KEEPS SENDING AN ERROR MESSAGE. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING DESPITE MAINTENCE AND REPAIRS AT THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AT BRAND NEW. ISSUE IS REOCCURING. THE ISSUES THIS CAUSES ARE AS FOLLOWS. ITS ALL THAT APPEARS ON MY SERVICE SCREEN NOT ALLOWING ME TOBSEE ANY OTHER NOTIFICATIONS AND CAUSES ALL MY SHIFTER OPTIONS TO TURN RED AND I AM CONCERNED AN IMMENET ERRORNOF NON SHIFTING WILL OCCUR. PLEASE HELP.

VEHICLE IS A 2012 FIAT 500 SPORT WITH 102,000 MILES, SERVICED AT FIAT OF AUSTIN WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TIRES FROM DISCOUNT TIRE. THE DRIVERS SIDE BALL JOINT FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON A CONNECTER RAMP FROM N IH 35 TO W IH 14 (US 190). THE VEHICLE HIT THE CONCRETE RETAINING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT PANEL, DOOR AND REAR PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. FIAT/CHRSYLER HAS BEEN UNREPONSIVE WITH MY COMMUNICATION. THE PART FAILURE OCCURED ON JULY 11, 2017. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS LIFETIME WARRANTY THRU FIAT. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE 2012 BALL JOINT IS NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED BUT BEING RETROFITTED WITH A 2013 DESIGN. THIS A RAISES A FLAG.

MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY, RARELY DRIVEN PAST 3 YEARS, HAS HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED 3 TIMES AS OF THIS WEEK. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR DEPARTMENT ENFORCED TO REPLACE SO MANY JEEP IGNITION SWITCH'S TO NOT THINK THEY DID NOT HAVE INFERIOR PRODUCTS ON THE LIBERTY'S AS WELL. THE KEYS SLIDE RIGHT OUT OF THE IGNITION RATHER THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE MOTION OR PARKED, ON OR OFF, DOESN'T MATTER AND THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE WEB AS TO SAME ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO YOU TO MAKE OFFICIAL, HOWEVER, CHRYSLER'S LACK OF COOPERATIVENESS ALONE, I WOULD THINK ENOUGH TO BE DUE CAUSE TO UMBRELLA JEEPS OF ALL MODELS AND GET THEM ALL ENFORCED AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME.

11/14/15 SPEEDOMETER, RPM DIAL, FUEL GAUGE, TROUBLE SHOOT LIGHTS, DIALS SPIN AROUND, LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF THEN CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE FWY AND SITTING AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN KEY OFF AND TURN BACK ON AND GO. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE 8 YEARS AGO, I HAD CONTACTED THE DEALER HE SAID HE COULD NOT FIX IT UNTIL IT WENT OUT COMPLETELY. IT FINALLY WENT OUT COMPLETELY. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY IT WAS FIXED. NOW THIS PAST SATURDAY IT IS ACTING UP LIKE IT WAS 8 YRS AGO AND IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

BATTERY DEAD AND KEY STUCK IN IGNITION. NO REASON FOR BATTERY TO BE DEAD, BUT IT IS, AND NOW THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WE CANNOT GET IT OUT. IT'S A SATURDAY NIGHT, KEEP TRYING TO GET KEY OUT, NOT SURE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO!! BEFORE THIS, WHEN CAR WAS 2 WEEKS OLD, THE KEY FOB/DOOR LOCKS STOPPED LOCKING/UNLOCKING CAR - CALLED DEALER, THEY SAID CHRYSLER KNEW ABOUT IT AND "TEMPORARY FIX, I TOOK IT IN AND THEY "RESET" THE COMPUTER. WELL, THE "FIX" LASTED ABOUT 2 HOURS, AND NOW ON WEEK 3 OF IT STILL NOT WORKING. ALSO, WHEN THE FRONT WIPERS ARE TURNED ON, RANDOMLY, THE REAR WIPER WILL JUST START WIPING BACK & FORTH -- WILL NOT STOP UNLESS TURN OFF FRONT WIPERS, THEN TURN BACK ON. UGH!!

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ON 2 DIFFERENT JEEPS, A 98 WRANGLER AND THIS 08. THIS 08 HAS ALMOST MEW TIRES AND THE FRONT END IS STILL TIGHT. THIS IS THE MOST RECENT OF SEVERAL TIMES THE JEEP HAS BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY IN THE LAST YEAR. *TR

HIT SMALL BUMP ON EXPRESSWAY CAUSING 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY LIKE THE WHEELS WERE LOOSE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY TO CHECK WHEELS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY THE INITIAL REACTION IS TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION (CRASH). AFTER INSPECTING VEHICLE SHAKING HAD STOPPED. *TR
