Unable to disable siriusxm travel link weather alerts. They block the whole screen and distract the driver because they force them to make a response. Some manufacturers with xm allow alerts to be disabled, but fca doesn't. these alerts are often irrelevant- I've seen some for areas over 100 miles away. I've researched this online, and found that it is a very common safety complaint for fca vehicle owners.
Once I hit a speed of 70mph on the highway and if I hit the slightest bump, my entire Jeep starts to shake violently. If I keep my foot on the gas at my steady speed, it just gets worse. The only thing I can do is take my foot off the gas, hold on for dear life, and hope I don't crash bc at that point I have no control. I cannot merge into other lanes to try to make it off the highway for safety and I can't do anything accept wait for the violent shaking to stop. Also to hope all vehicles surrounding me that are going high speeds are paying attention since my speed drastically changes and they don't crash into me. I have two toddlers and they scream and their heads are jolted from side to side in their car seats as I wait for it to stop. This happens almost, if not all, any time I go above 70 miles an hour and there is a bump in the road. It has not been one time only. I no longer can drive my brand new Jeep Wrangler on the highway and I do not take my toddlers in the car on the highway anymore. I am a single mother and I committed to the large monthly auto loan payments to ensure my kids would be safe while driving and I would have a dependable vehicle. I have neither but I still have the large monthly payment.
First noticed excessive play left to right on steering wheel. Unable to drive without continuously correcting to go straight on roads N highway. While on highway coming overpass Jeep went right to left into a 'death wobble' I slowed down, started again it continued. Pulled to the side of road and continued on at slower speeds.. an inexperienced driver might have lost controlled N it would be deadly. I do not see any recall on site. Many have posted on Jeep sites. Now I have experienced and petrified

11/12/2019 2:30 pm driving in the far left lane of 400 North near exit 13, the far left lane has dips. First dip causes car to go into a violent shake. Was going about 60 mph. Other cars around me started to move into different lanes away from the car. My initial thought was a flat tire. I pulled into the emergency lane at a full stop. The tires were fine. Started driving again and car was normal. 11/15/2019 1:45 pm same issue happened while driving 400 North this time the wobbling was more violent. Warning lights appeared on the dashboard. Car is currently with the dealer and I am unaware when I will get the car back.
Steering wheel shakes violently after going over a minor bump or road roughness while driving at high speeds (55+) on the highway. It will sometimes correct itself and has not been too bad of a shake but over the weekend, I had to slow down from 70mph to 45mph in the middle of I95 B/C the steering wheel shook so bad and would not stop shaking until I slowed my speed down. This was as a result of going over a minor bump in the road. One time it happened while going around a curve in the highway and the "rumble strips" triggered it. This is a brand new car that I purchased in June. This wheel shaking just started a few weeks ago. Please look into this matter. It is unsafe and can cause an accident whether someone rear ends my vehicle while I am attempting to slow down or I lose control of my car B/C I cannot get the wheel shaking in control.
2019 Jeep Wrangler drifts when driving. I've had 4 Jeep Wrangler and never had this problem. Actually took it back immediately after purchase with complaint and was told it's the new suspension. Also went back again with same complaint and had service person drive it but was again told there's no problem. I live in rural area and a lot of 2 lane roads and so afraid of not being able to keep it in my lane while driving. At the age 73 nothing solved and I'm very disappointed with this vehicle.
