The rear drive shaft is causing a rumbling as you speed up or maintain speed. it feels like driving over small speed bumps or rubble strips, even when there is nothing in the road. it is a safety concern because it is a leak in the oil of the drive shaft. it is also a pretty expensive problem to fix. jeep and mopar need to fix this safety issue. like yesterday.
As i was leaving a shopping center about 40 miles away from my house my jeep and as i entered onto the interstate the jeep acted like i was having a flat tire with the steering wheel shaking and giving me a lot of vibration and the flop flop sound you get from a flat tire. i stopped and got out but no flat tire, loose lug nuts or anything i could find. put flashers on and headed up the road slowly not going over 45 mph. it finally quit and i was able to increase speed. it continues to have this wobble sound along with the steering wheel shaking off and on. i did some research and the only thing matched what happen was the jeep death wobble. some vehicles have had a recall on this but i don't see any for my year.
Remedy: chrysler intends to repair vehicles free of charge (parts and labor). however, the part required to provide a permanent remedy for this condition is currently not available. chrysler is making every effort to provide the part as quickly as possible. ****this was 2014, no updates so far as to parts being available. two years is not timely.
Vehicle completely shuts off while driving, with 4 attempts by the dealership service, vehicle continues to shut off while driving. *tr
While i was driving on a main road, my car completely shut down. my steering wheel was locked, gas and brake petal were not working, basically my car was going on its own. worst part was that it was going on a slant while other cars driving 45/50 miles per hour heading towards me. i could not stop my car, nor drive my car, nor try and steer myself to a safe location. my car just kept going. something needs to be done. i have almost lost my life 2 times already. i do not feel safe driving my vehicle. everytime i go to chrysler... they do not know what to do or what is going on. when will this be fixed and how?

I have called the dealership three times since december 2015 to check on the status of my recall. they have put me on a wait list with no return call and no sign of this being completed. i was also told that after they have availability and they take my vehicle in, they would still have no date which they can tell me when the work will be completed. i am very dissatisfied with the lack of safety concern and urgency taken by this dealership to remedy the recall. covert chrysler dodge jeep ram 8107 research blvd (512) 730-3300

In rush hour traffic, the car would lose power everytime the car came to a stop or idled. 3 days later, the car lost power in speed limit traffic after going over the railroad tracks. since then, it loses power at every stop. if i am not aware, the car rolls into oncoming traffic! i took the car to my nearest dealer. they confirmed that it was the ignition switch that has been recalled and a part hasn't been sent to dealers. i called chrysler and all they did was put me on a list! they apologized for me not having a car to drive and that was it! they would not provide me with a timeline of when the part would be ready. they refused to provide me with a loaner vehicle while it was off the road. i have lost my mode of transportation unless i want to risk my and my family's life, and they say there is nothing they can do even though they are at fault!
