All problems happened on city streets no more than 15/20 miles per hour, I cannot imagine what would've happened on the freeway. 1) since October (do not recall date) the fishtailing has happened 2 times like it was on ice. 2) once slid to the left almost 1/2 circle; 3) spinning and not advancing/going forward has happened many times even before the first fishtailing incident (for a few years now) and it happens going up a hill or when trying to go forward after stopping on stop/light, the tires spins.

Recently I heard on the news that only 3% of recalls have been repaired. Fyi. On 10/22/ 14 I called sea view Jeep in ocean, NJ for recall repair. I was told since I didn't buy my Jeep from them I would be put on a list as they were doing repairs their customers first. Thinking, I called Chrysler Corp.on 10/23/14 and spoke with [xxx] who made a 3 way call to sea view and confirmed my conversation that I would have to be put on a list. [xxx], from Chrysler Corp, set up an appoint with another dealer who accommodated me very well. Still being on sea view list since 10/22/14, I still have not been called. I being a senior citizen living on social security and a very small pension, bring this incident to your attention in the event there is a whistle blower reward due me or at least a reward from Chrysler corporation.
