| While driving my vehicle down the interstate for about 10 min at a speed of about 72miles per hr, my jeep started shaking from the front and back. it was so intense i felt as though i was going to crash. i have had tires blow and u joints go bad and this didn't compare. i don't drive in a rough terrain and not often at these speeds. but i felt as though i had no control. when i decelerated to 50 the shaking had stopped. there had been no previous warning of this problem. when taking it in to get looked at the dealer said there was nothing wrong. the next day i took it in for the same problem and my universals need replaced, axle seals are bad and my drive shaft needs to be replace. *tr | |||

| While crossing 2 lanes of on coming traffic in the middle of the day the abs, esp and traction control lights came on and would not let me push the gas along with the right front brake locking up. because of the traction control coming on when i accelerate from a stop, even slowly, the engine responds as if i was slipping and losing traction, sputtering power and then all of a sudden it just stops. now this has happened a few times within the last couple of days which is very scary considering there is absolutely no warning and can happen at any speed while driving. i have read some other forums on this issue and it seems to be pretty common with the make, model and year of this vehicle. this should not be taken lightly and should be fixed by chrysler as it is a manufacturing defect. *tr | |||

| The tire pressure monitors and valve stems in the jeeps need to be looked at. we have had two literally blow out of our tire in less than 2 months. the last time my husband and son were traveling on the highway and lucky they weren't hurt or killed as after it blew out the tire shredded and they ended up on his rim. i called chrysler/jeep and they have me a case #. our local jeep dealer and a local tire store apparently told me this is a common problem that the valve stems/monitor rust and the seal isn't good on the tire anymore so they blow out...we could replace for $80 if we wanted...however there is no guarantee it won't happen again. only way to fix it is to replace all monitors with rubber valve stems. i wasn't willing to wait on the case and have my family's safety at risk so i had them replaced on our jeep. of course chrysler says there is nothing else they can do now b/c we handled it ourselves. we weren't asking for money or for them to pay -- all we want is to make sure this doesn't happen to someone else. they are aware of the problem and won't do anything about it. someone is going to get killed. these can blow out at any time or place. my husband and son are just lucky. please help get this problem taken care of before someone gets injured or dies!!! *tr | |||
