The Jeep is less than a year old. It was handling very poorly on the road so I took it to have it checked. Jeep considers these wear items not covered under warranty. My shop said the one's on Jeep are junk and they have seen failures as low as 326 miles! my Dodge truck had a similar issue at 75K miles and Dodge replaced the whole front end. Not Jeep. If you search the websites you will find the conclusion is that the parts Jeep uses are junk. I replaced them with aftermarket parts from moog which has a lifetime warranty. I was not going to risk my family by installing cheap dangerous factory parts. My cost was $1600 to fix a new truck! no wonder Jeep is rated the second worse vehicle made next to Fiat! this is a serious issue that most consumers are unaware of. I thought it was a joke at first. When they showed me the parts, which I still have, there is zero resistance in 3 of the 4 ball joints. You should not be able to move them with your hard. They are like a pencil in a cup of water. Amazing they would risk there customers lives with such garbage parts on a new 40K vehicle! I have the parts if you want them. This leads to death wobble and dangerous handling vehicles. My wife was complaining that the rig wonders all over the road. I drove it and agreed it was dangerous as you had to constantly correct the and fight the wheel to keep it going straight down the highway. Not a safe situation and very dangerous. I figured is no one brought it to your attention it is only going to cost someone there life. It most likely already has. You would have to take the wrecked Jeep apart to see the defective steering components. Very disgusted on Jeep's decision to save a few dollars at the expensive of safety.

I started Jeep, the radio channel mysteriously changed, drove approx 1 mile, came to a stop light at a busy mountain intersection and the entire Jeep blacked out, I lost all functions, we were almost rear ended and T boned at the same time, returned the Jeep to park and restarted. I took the Jeep to dealer they said they couldn't recreate problem, I drove Jeep off the property only to have it die at the first traffic light, put into park restarted only to have it die again. Finally made it back to Jeep, they've had it for a week and they claim they still cant find the problem. I don't trust the vehicle nor do I feel safe driving this vehicle in the mountains which is where I live. Also note, the entire vehicle lost all power, so does that mean the airbags wont deploy. This is unacceptable.
