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.

3 OUT OF THE 4 WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY JEEP HAVE MECHANICALLY BROKEN INSIDE THE DOOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT'S NOT A CHEAP FIX FOR ME TO KEEP PAYING FOR YOUR MISTAKE. I WAS GOING TO BUY ANOTHER JEEP, BUT NOT SO SURE ANYMORE

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.

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.
