The lug bolts have a thin chrome cover. these lug bolts seem to swell as moisture enters over time. they also become damaged as maintenance such as tire rotation is performed. they become impossible to remove with the tools supplied by the manufacturer in the event of a flat tire, leaving the vehicle stranded. i understand this is a well known problem throughout the fiat chrysler group line.
When towing vehicle 4 wheels down behind my motorhome at times vehicle has a sever wobble. it is both when taking a corner or straight. can not stop wobble unless i come to a complete stop. very scary.
I had a flat tire. after mounting the spare tire and torqueing the lug bolts, (yes they are bolts not nuts) i found that the wheel was still loose. i determined that this was caused by the lug bolts being too long for the steel spare wheel which is not the same thickness as the aluminum factory wheels
2016 jeep cherokee 4x4 won't start. when finally start, it shuts off the ac system. 3 times the vehicle was stationary in a parking lot. the vehicle shuts down while on my way to work on a busy street. the battery is still new according to a a tester.
In november 2016 i was driving in a 35mph zone. the car began to skip and jump forward. without warning the service shifter light came on and all my lights for the shifter came on (p,r,n,d). the car which was in drive immediately shifted into park and i lost all control. thankfully i was able to come to a stop and call for a tow truck. the issue was fixed under warranty and they said it's a defect in the shifter. the service department was very vague when explaining this to me. two weeks later i i was told i could pick up my car. fast forward to today 10/04/2017, my car did the same thing. i was traveling at 55 mph this time and lost all control. i had to jump a curb and drive across the lawn and into the parking lot. i have read many issues about this problem from other jeep owners. why hasn't a recall been issued? especially if this is a known issue. i could have caused a large accident especially since it was during rush hour. safety of consumer and others on road need to be taken into account.
I purchased my 2016 jeep cherokee in march of 2016, and took delivery in june of 2016. after having munti0le maintenance issues with it, it was determined that my jeep had 2 different tire sizes on it. two tires had a circumference of 60r and the other two had a circumference of 65r. fiat-chryslwr has refused to make amends to this point. i did no find out until after driving 11,000 miles.
