“The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the instrument panel failed, and the speedometer, tachometer, and turn signals were inoperable. The contact stated that during the failure, the speed of the vehicle was not available to the driver. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V652000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 40,400.”
“The check engine light was on and it said to service the battery charging components. When driving in hybrid mode it doesn’t switch to use the battery. When I was trying to pull off after stopping, the jeep hesitated and would not move and then all of a sudden jerked and took off almost making me crash and people crash into me.”
“My vehicle experiences violent front end steering and suspension oscillation ('death wobble') at highway speeds approaching 70 mph, I hit any road bump and it is triggered (bridge seams, potholes, uneven graded patches). It forces me to immediately let off of the accelerator, grip the wheel and slow way down so that it can stabilize again. Creating a potentially life threatening traffic hazard. I bought the jeep brand new with 10 miles on it from the Jeep dealership, I have maintained it solely through the dealership, and have not added any aftermarket upgrades. My first experience was around 23,000 miles. I brought it to the same authorized dealership where they replaced the stabilizer and sold me 4 new tires. 10,000 miles later the exact problem is back.”
