WHEN I GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVE OVER 60 MPH THE HOOD WILL FLUTTER MASSIVELY LIKE IT'S GOING TO FLY UP AND SLAM INTO MY WINDSHIELD. I'VE HEARD THAT THE MATCHES ARE GIVING OUT FROM THE FACTORIES AND HAVE HEARD LOTS OF STORIES OF THEM BREAKING.

WINDY DAY ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY HOOD WAS FLUTTERING SO BAD THAT I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGH WAY FOR THE FEAR OF MY LIFE. ONE OF THE LATCHES CAME UN DONE DURRING THAT TIME AND FEARED MY HOOD WOULD FLIP OPEN AND BLOCK MY WINDAHIELD

TAKATA RECALL - TRYING TO GET A RECALL OF AIRBAG ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF AT DEALER AND AM TOLD TO KEEP CALLING THEY ARE NOT SURE WHEN THEY WILL GET PARTS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS RECALL OF PASSENGER AIRBAG AND HAS BEEN SINCE JANUARY. MY SON HAS TO TRAVEL 800 MILES AUGUST 10TH AND NOW FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE. FYI... I RECEIVED LETTER FROM DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE IN NYS TO NOTIFY US, NOT FROM MANUFACTURER.

VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED AT INTERSECTION. BRAKE PEDAL WAS DOWN AT FLOOR AND IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ABS WAS KICKING ON, ALSO THE STEERING WAS AFFECTED. NOTE: BRAKE INSPECTION WAS DONE AT BILL MARSH DEALERSHIP IN KALKASKA,MI 10 DAYS PRIOR TO INCIDENT AND BRAKES SUPPOSEDLY WERE OK

FOR 2014, CHRYSLER MADE A CHANGE TO A PART CALLED THE "OIL FILTER ADAPTER" WHICH SITS ON TOP OF THE ENGINE, UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THERE ARE NOW A PARADE OF PEOPLE WITH VARIOUS CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT USE THE 3.6L REPORTING THAT THE NEW PART CRACKS, CAUSING A MAJOR OIL LEAK, POTENTIALLY A FIRE, AND CAN CAUSE YOUR ENGINE TO BE DRAINED OF ALL OIL. PART NUMBER IS 68105583AA AND IT APPLIES ONLY TO 3.6L CHRYSLER V6 ENGINES. I PURCHASED THE JEEP USED AND NOW HAVE JUST OVER 60K MILES - CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO COVER UNDER THEIR "100K MILE" POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND I STILL HAVE ALMOST 40K MILES TO GO BEFORE I REACH 100K MILES.

DOOR HINGES ARE RUSTING FROM UNDERNEATH THE PAINT. "AT THE START OF THE 2007 MODEL YEAR, JEEP STARTED USING ALUMINUM HINGES THAT CARRY A SECRET; A FLAW IN THE WAY THAT THE ALUMINUM IS ANODIZED CAUSES OXIDATION UNDER THE PAINT, EVEN WITH THE ABSENCE OF AIR AND WATER.WHAT YOU ESSENTIALLY HAVE IS A VEHICLE WITH HINGES THAT ARE SUBPAR."

AIRBAG RECALL: I'VE HAD AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW BUT NO ACTIVE RECALL WAS OUT FOR MY VIN AT THE TIME I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. RECENTLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON WITH A FAULT CODE FOR THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE LARRY H MILLER DODGE LOCATED AT 4220 E 22ND ST, TUCSON, AZ 85711 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. AFTER WRITING UP A WORK ORDER FOR ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING I WOULD NEED A CLOCKSPRING TO RECTIFY THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME I INFORMED THEM THAT THERE WAS AN ACTIVE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE, WHICH THEY WERE UNAWARE OF DESPITE HAVING PRINTED THE INFORMATION WHEN THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE IN (NOBODY ACTUALLY CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THEY SIMPLY PRINTED THE NECESSARY VIN CHECK PAPERWORK). IN ADDITION TO THIS I ALSO HAVE LOST CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION AS WELL AS HAVING TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON MY STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS FOR THEM TO WORK. SOUNDS SIMILAR TO OTHER PEOPLES' REPORTED PROBLEMS. I FEEL I SHOULDN'T BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC IN THE FIRST PLACE AS THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST THING THAT WAS CHECKED AND CORRECTED BEFORE ANYTHING BUT I'LL HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH THEM.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM AUTONATION JEEP DODGE CHRYSTLER IN KATY TEXAS. WITH THIS PURCHASE THERE WAS WRITTEN NOTICE OF IT BEING CERTIFIED WITH A COMPLETE INSPECTION DONE. THIS INSPECTION NOTES AND CERTIFIES THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE, USABLE, AND WITH NO DEFECTS. THIS DOCUMENT SPECIFICALLY NOTED SEVERAL ITEMS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE SUSPENSION OF THE JEEP. ALL NOTED AS CERTIFIED. AFTER POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AN EVENT OCCURRED WHERE THE JEEP LOST CONTROL, PUTTING MY LIFE AND FAMILY'S LIFE AT RISK AS WE WERE THROWN INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. WE HAD NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE AS WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS JEEP WAS CERTIFIED, BOTH WRITTEN AND ORALLY. I THEN TOOK THE JEEP TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THE JEEP TO LOSE CONTROL. THE DEALERSHIP THEN FOUND THAT THE SHOCKS WERE NOT FASTENED PROPERLY BECAUSE OF MODIFICATIONS DONE BY EITHER AUTONATION JEEP DODGE CHRYSTLER IN KATY TEXAS OR A 3RD PARTY. NONE OF THIS WAS DISCLOSED IN THE WRITTEN OR ORAL CERTIFICATION OF THE VEHICLE. DODGE CHRYSTLER IN KATY TEXAS DENIED LIABILITY AND REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FALSE WRITTEN AND ORAL CERTIFICATION OF THE VEHICLE. MY OPINION IS THAT THE JEEP IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND MAY NEVER BE SAFE TO DRIVE IN THE FUTURE. AUTONATION JEEP DODGE CHRYSTLER IN KATY TEXAS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THESE MODIFICATIONS AND SAFETY ISSUES DURING THEIR INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS INSPECTION WHICH WAS PASSED, SHOWN WRITTEN AND TOLD VERBALLY PUTS MY FAMILY AT RISK TO PROFIT ON A VEHICLE PURCHASE. IN DOING SO WE WERE FALSELY REPRESENTED IN THIS SITUATION FROM THE AUTONATION JEEP DODGE CHRYSTLER IN KATY TEXAS TEAM.
