“Wife was driving her jeep when she started to veer to the left. went to turn to steering to get straight when it wasn't responding a lot of slack in the steering. called a tow truck when the tow truck lifted noticed the cradle/sub frame was broken. she was on a country road when it happened. If this was on a highway or interstate there would have been major collision resulting in death. there was no warning when it broke it just broke. after doing some research into why it would break the air conditioning hose to the water to drain was running on the sub frame which rusted and eventually break, the break shifted the engine about a foot and dropped about 10 inches Since she didn't hit anything or no property damage there was no police involved. I have reached out to chrysler with the issue with no response. My family was in danger due to a poor design that could of been avoided and what I read she wasn't the only one.”

“I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON ROUTE 73 IN CINNAMINSON NJ AT 930 PM WITH MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHOUT WARNING - THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND MY CAR HAD ZERO POWER. THE POWER STEERING WAS LOCKED UP AND WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A HUGE TRUCK. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD TO WAIT IN A DARK CAR WITH NO HEAT. THIS IS HORRIBLE”
