I was driving down a straight, flat road about approaching an intersection and a light which just turned green. was going about 25-30 mph at the moment when it sounded and felt like a tire popped in the rear of the jeep. i rolled to a stop, pulled off to the side and noticed the tire wasn't popped, but that my rear passenger tire was now resting on the wheel well. i got down to look under and saw that a thick metal bar had snapped in half, which in turn snapped my axel, and ripped my suspension out with it. i got the vehicle towed to the local shop, they looked at it and said they had never seen this happen before. when towing the jeep, they needed to wrap it with extra straps since the damage was so significant they could not tie the chains under the car in the rear. i am currently trying to get jeep to send an evaluator. i currently have a case open with them.
Starting at the beginning of this month my car will randomly shut off and state to 'shift gear into park' the gear shift lights on all letters light up red and the car takes about 20 minutes to start back up. today it happened three times in a row while in the car with my daughter and it has me petrified. we went up the hill by our home and it happens and the car started going backwards.

At the time i discovered the problem my jeep was stopped. i had just towed it behind my motorhome for 40 miles. the frame to which the tow bar is attached had all the welds broken on both sides of the jeep. the frame pieces are aluminum. pictures will be attached. i think this is extremely serious as there is little or no indication of a problem until the vehicle completely breaks free. this is not the first problem with this vehicle. a pdf file will be included in the attachments...updated 11/16/17 *bf consumer stated attention needs to bring a possible design and or a manufacturing defect on my 2014 jeep cherokee. this involves the aluminum front frame assembly of the jeep which does not appear to be able to withstand the rigors of being towed behind a motorhome on the nations highways. also, the front wheel wobble (death wobble) could have contributed partially to the failure, however that was also a design flaw. updated 9/18/18*jb
For being a jeep and be advertised as off-road, i have never been off-road and my vehicle needs engine studs replacements. the motor has a lot of vibration when stops and transmission bounce when changes gears. i believe is a bad part because i could notice since new but now is very hard.

Car went into neutral for no reason at all. i had to coast to the side of the road. after unplugging the battery and plugging it back in i had lower gears to make it to h-e-b the ship. they said nothing was wrong with it and reset the codes and sent me on my way after two days. he ships harder and gets much less gas mileage

I have been calling local dealerships (ancira and ingram park) on and off since june/july of 2016 and every time someone from the service department claims they're too busy to schedule and appointment and will call me back in a week or so. no one ever calls me back, seemingly refusing to handle the recall.
On several occasions, our jeep cherokee has begun to "wobble" severely while being flat towed behind our motorhome. this occurred three times on a recent 2,000 mile trip. the "wobble" is so severe that we have to bring the motorhome to a complete stop before the car begins to track normally. we have had it happen when we ran over a particularly rough expansion joint on the interstate. going from 65 mph to a complete stop on a busy interstate is extremely dangerous. another example of it being very dangerous is when the "wobble", occurs when we are in a construction zone where there are rough roads. coming to a complete stop in heavy traffic in a construction zone also creates a situation that can cause an accident. we pull the jeep behind a 40' 2013 newmar dutch star. our tow bar is a blue ox avail 10,000 lb tow bar. we keep the motorhome and tow bar in good condition and i don't believe our equipment is the cause of the "wobble". we have contacted jeep on two occasions and have been told they are aware of ...
