A RECALL WAS SUBMITTED ON JULY 28, 2015. I LOOKED ONLINE TODAY. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A SMOKE SMELL, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AUGUST 15, 2015 STATING THE ENGINE BEAUTY COVER ON MY VEHICLE MAY DETACH FROM THE ENGINE AND COME IN CONTACT WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND START A FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE CONTACTED AT ANOTHER TIME WHEN A REPAIR PART IS AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY SMALL CHILDREN AND MYSELF. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. ...UPDATED 11/04/15 *BF

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING UP OUR HILL ON FROM OUR HOUSE. IT IS VERY STEEP, LIKE CRESTING THE TOP OF A ROLLERCOASTER. ONCE WE WERE AT THE TOP COMING OVER THE TOP OUR BRAKES GAVE OUT. MY HUSBAND KEPT PUSHING THEM TO THE FLOOR AND STILL NOTHING WORKED. WE HAD TO ROUND A BAD CURVE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM AND HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING A CAR COMING UP THE ROAD. IN DOING SO MY HUSBAND TRIED TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR BUT ENDED UP VEERING OFF THE ROAD INTO SOMEONE'S YARD WHERE WE HIT A TREE HEAD ON THEN SKIDDED ACROSS THEIR DRIVEWAY AND CRASHED THROUGH THEIR PRIVACY FENCE AND LANDED NOSE DOWN INTO THEIR INGROUND SWIMMING POOL. AND AT NO POINT DID OUR AIRBAGS DEPLOY. WE WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS BUT I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO THE LOCAL URGENT CARE FOR HEAD INJURY AND MY HUSBAND IS SEEING A DR FOR BACK INJURY. OUR HEADRESTS HAD A MECHANISM THAT DEPLOYS IN ACCIDENTS. THAT WAS ALL THAT WORKED. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS IN THE POOL BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND A REPORT FILED.

I WAS USING THE SCISSOR JACK PROVIDED WITH THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE A FLAT LEFT FRONT TIRE WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE. THE FLOOR WAS FLAT AND COMPLETELY DRY AND FREE OF ANY OILY CONDITIONS. THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN PARK, THE BRAKE SET.I POSITIONED THE JACK AS OUTLINED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I THEN BROKE THE 5 LUG NUTS LOOSE PRIOR TO RAISING THE VEHICLE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT USING THE JACK AS IT SEEMED TO BE STRAINING TO RAISE THE SUV. I FINALLY GOT IT RAISED TO A LEVEL TO CLEAR THE TIRE FROM THE FLOOR SURFACE. I REMOVED THE TIRE AND JUST AS I DID THIS THE JACK COLLAPSED AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED. THE FENDER WELL JUST BARELY MISSED CRUSHING MY HAND. I TOOK PHOTOS OF THE CONDITION AFTER IT FELL. I REMOVED THE JACK AND THE FRAME WAS TWISTED AND THE LIFTING SCREW WAS BENT. THE JACK DOES NOT HAVE ANY LOAD RATING OR CERTIFICATION MARKINGS. ALL IT SAYS IS 'MADE IN MEXICO' THE FOOT PRINT PAD IT SETS ON LOOKS TOO SMALL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT. I BROUGHT THE INCIDENT UP TO CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES AND THEY JUST MADE WHAT SEEMED TO BE ARBITRARY REMARKS THE ' I MUST HAVE DONE SOME THING WRONG' IN THE PROCESS.MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID I WILL HAVE TO PAY A $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE. IF THIS JACK FAILED ON A FLAT CONCRETE FLOOR IMAGINE TRYING TO USE THIS DEVICE AND A ANGULAR, GRAVELED ROAD SHOULDER. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THE FUTURE.
