IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS STRAIGHT NOW. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME AND REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER SUGGESTED I GET AN ATTORNEY SPECIALIZING IN THE LEMON LAW. I HAVE DONE SO AND ALSO WILL BE TALKING TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. SO FAR I HAVE LOST A DAYS WORK AND FIVE 30 MILE TRIPS TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE NEW ONES WILL SOMETIMES HAVE A LITTLE 'WIGGLE' TO THEM AT TIMES AND I INFORMED HIM THAT IF I HAD KNOW THIS I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT HAD I KNOW THIS. I AM VERY UPSET WITH CHRYSLER AT THE MOMENT . I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OUT OF MY 2015 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED OR MY 2009 JEEP ALI WRY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN JEEP.

AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE JEEP MANUFACTURED AND WARRANTIED 2 INCH MOPAR LIFT KIT AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AFTER HITTING A BUMP AT SPEEDS OF 50 MILES PER HOUR AND ABOVE. THIS WAS MOST COMMONLY SEEN WHEN DRIVING OVER BRIDGES AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHEN THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE RESULTS. I THEN HAD TO RISK MY OWN SAFETY TO DEMONSTRATE TO A TECHNICIAN THAT THE PROBLEM WAS INDEED HAPPENING. THIS OSCILLATION OF THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND REQUIRES ME TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL STOP SHAKING. I ALSO HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SLOWED DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND HAS YET TO BE SOLVED.
