CONSTANTLY WILL MAKE A SQUEELING SOUND EVERY MORNING ON START UP. LASTS OVER A MINUTE - NOT EVEN ON COLD DAYS! HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT - STATE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE OEUVRE (OF COURSE BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS THE FIRST START UP! ROUGH IDLE EVERY 2-3 MINUTES, TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD OUT OF FIRST GEAR. POUR FUEL ECONOMY AS WELL. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE. JUST BOUGHT THE CAR - SEVERAL ISSUES

IN COLD TEMPERATURES, THE JEEP QUADRALIFT AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM FREEZES AND SHORTS OUT THE RELAY. THIS RENDERS THE AIR SUSPENSION USELESS AND MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED ONLY TO HAVE THE UNIT FAIL A WEEK LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM IN THAT IT DOES NOT WORK IN COLD TEMPERATURES.

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED. AFTER SEARCHING, IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENS ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE SYSTEM DID NOT ACTIVATE, BUT THE PART OF THE HEADREST THAT HOLDS THE LOCKING PIN BROKE, WHICH ALLOWED THE LATCH TO RELEASE WITHOUT THE SYSTEM ACTIVATING.
