| 2014 | POWER TRAIN | ON WELL TRAVELED MINING ROADS IN 4WD, WHEN ONE TIRE SLIPS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN PULL ITS OWN WEIGHT AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV OVER 2,000 RPM. I BACK UP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN 4X4 LOW AND IF ANY WHEEL SLIPS, IT WOULD STOP AT 2,000 RPM AGAIN. ALL I CAN DO IS BACK DOWN A DANGEROUS ROAD AND TRY TO FIND A SPOT WHERE I CAN TURN AROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, BEEN TO 2 DEALERS IN 2 STATES 4 TIMES. THE VEHICLE STRANDED ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DOING THE SAME THING IN DANGEROUS AREA WITH CLIFFS OR STEEP DROP OFFS TO RIVERS AND ROCK OUT CROPS ON ONE SIDE. CHRYSLER HQ SAID THEY WILL NOT WORK ON MY VEHICLE ANYMORE AND THAT THE TRUCK IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED! DESIGNED TO STRAND SOMEONE ON A WELL TRAVELED MINING ROAD THE OTHER PICKUPS CAN GET TO WITHOUT 4X4? I BOUGHT THIS 4X4 WITH THE OFF ROAD TRAIL RATED PACKAGE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE SELLING DEALER SAID I NEEDED FOR MINING. IT HAS NOT BEEN OFF ROAD. I CAN'T EVEN GET TO WHERE I WORK AND THIS VEHICLE HAS EVEN FAILED ON VERY SMALL HILLS WITH DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL IN THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER DEALER TEST DROVE IT, FAILED AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 2,300 RPM. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THEY DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM IN 4X4 DRIVE, 4X4 LOW, WITH AND WITHOUT TRACTION CONTROL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PULL ITS OWN WEIGHT AND NO WHEELS ARE EVEN SPINNING. VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN AND CAN'T EVEN GET TO MY JOB! WHEN I HAVE TO BACK DOWN BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GO FORWARD I HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S A PLACE PERPENDICULAR TO THE SLOPE OF THE INCLINE OR YOU ARE STUCK DIAGONAL TO THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO FORWARD AND THERE IS NO MORE ROOM TO BACK UP WITHOUT GOING OFF A CLIFF, FALLING INTO A RIVER OR SLIDING INTO A CANYON. *TR |
| 2012 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. THEN THE JEEP JUST STALLED OUT AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE JEEP WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT SAT OVER THE WEEKEND BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED. ON MONDAY THE JEEP STARTED FOR THE MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND NO CODES WHEN HOOKED UP TO A SCANNER. I PICKED THE CAR UP THE NEXT DAY AND A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODES WHEN THEY SCAN IT AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT APPEARED TO BE WRONG AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. *TR |
