What owners report
WHILE DRIVING THE LEFT (FRONT DRIVER SIDE) LOWER CONTROL ARM FELL FREE FROM THE STEERING KNUCKLE WHICH ATTACHES IT TO THE WHEEL, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN THE ABILITY TO STEER AND EVENTUALLY THE LOWER CONTROL ARM (MOVING LOSE UNDER THE CAR), BECAME LODGED BETWEEN THE WHEEL RIM AND THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE THE LEFT FRONT TIRE TO SHIFT FORWARD INTO THE FRONT FENDER / BUMPER AND BECOME IMMOBILE. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE MADE IT HOME AND IT WAS IN PARKING THE VEHICLE THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BECAME WEDGED BETWEEN THE TIRE INNER RIM AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY, SO NO CRASH OR INJURY OCCURRED, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS.
SUB FRAME ROTTED OUT - SAFETY ISSUE
IT HAS RAPIDLY RUSTED OUT (SUB FRAME). I HAVE OWNED IT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND IT WAS NOT THAT WAY WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IS THERE A RECALL?
WHILE DRIVING FROM NORCAL TO SOCAL DRIVING 80+MPH FOR 2 OR MORE HOURS THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I STARTED TO LOOSE POWER-PULLED OFF THE ROAD LET IT COOL DOWN AND IT RESTARTED AND DROVE 65 THE REST OF THE WAY WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. 3 WEEKS LATER HEARING LOUD ENGINE NOISES WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE RADIATOR LIGHT AND SMOKE WAS SEEN BEHIND ME I PULLED OVER TO FIND MY SERPENTINE BELT WAS EATEN AWAY AND SNAPPED. THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY IS SIEZED UP NOW. ALL OF THIS WITHIN A YEAR OF A NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW RADIATOR WAS INSTALLED BY PROFESSIONALS.
CAR LOST POWER GOING ABOUT 50MPH ON 9/15/2014. I HAD CAR TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, BOBB AUTO GROUP (11009 WEST 133RD AVENUE, CEDAR LAKE, IN 46303). MECHANICS REPLACED THE CLUTCH KIT (PART# 5062150AE), CYLINDER (5273431AB), AND COVER (PART# 4884904AB). I PICKED UP THE CAR ON 9/19/2014, PAYING $1,284.47 FOR REPAIRS AND PARTS WERE WARRANTED FOR 12,000 MILES OR 2-YEARS. ON 11/17/2014 CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING 40MPH. CALLED BOBB AUTO GROUP TO INFORM THEM AND GET HELP. SINCE I WAS IN CHICAGO THIS TIME THEY ADVISED TO TAKE TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE DEALER SO THAT WARRANTY CAN BE HONORED AS IT SOUNDED TO THEM THAT THE PART THEY JUST INSTALLED FAILED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO SOUTH
