This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle makes a knocking noise. Noise appears to be coming from area of front passenger tire area....my mechanic has replaced the shocks, control arm bushings and transmission mount strap and track bar bushings....this has not solved the problem. The Jeep dealership in North charleston, SC has replaced the sway bar links and basically rebuilt the rear end....still knocking persists. Jeep advises noise is normal...I disagree. Jeep worked on this vehicle about 2 years ago...my mechanic in January of 2003. Knocking only occurs over light bumps, roughness in road...or on dirt roads. Knocking especially loud when turning a corner. Would really appreciate any information on this. Also, in mornings especially when cold outside when you put Jeep into reverse a loud whining noise coming from rear. Have had transmission fluid changed, but did not help.
The vehicle would shimmy at 60 mph, 3 out of the 4 Goodyear Eagle ga tires (P225/70R15) experienced tread separation, a few months after the tires were replaced, the vehicle began to shimmy again and the dealer performed a front end alignment.
While driving at 45mph or above front end vibrates to the point that consumer could lose control. To stop consumer hasto slow the vehicle down. Dealer has been contacted.
Problem is a vibration that comes in at 62-67 mph, local dealership agree's, but Chrysler denies problem. I am worried about the possibility of the wheels locking up at 60 or 70mph. Chrysler refuses to address the problem.
Front suspension squeaks and grinds when driving down a bumpy road or making a turn. Dealer contacted and is aware of the problem. Stated motor mounts were not properly installed. Also, sway bar links and bushings needed to be replaced, will back order part and replace them.
