NHTSA Complaint #10782937 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

EXPERIENCED AN UNCONTROLLABLE CAR WOBBLE PROBLEM THREE TIMES, WHILE FLAT TOWING OUR 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE BEHIND OUR MOTOR HOME IN SEPTEMBER ON TRIP FROM WYOMING TO MICHIGAN. AN IRREGULARITY IN THE HIGHWAY INITIATES A VIOLENT SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WHICH APPEARS TO ATTAIN A NATURAL FREQUENCY THAT REQUIRES BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE HALT TO STOP THE OSCILLATING. THE THIRD TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS LIFE THREATENING ON I-80 SOUTH OF CHICAGO AT RUSH HOUR WITH FIVE LANES OF TRAFFIC AT 60 PLUS MPH. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE WHERE I COULD GET MY RIG OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHICH OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE NEW JEEP CHEROKEE. EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED THE NEW JEEP CHEROKEE TO BE FLAT TOWED BEHIND A MOTORHOME, AND WAS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THE UNPREDICTABLE DANGER THE WOBBLE PROHIBITS FLAT TOWING. A FAST GROWING NUMBER OF CONSUMERS WHO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM NEED ASSISTANCE FROM CHRYSLER ON HOW TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INSTIGATE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AS THERE HAS BEEN NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM ON THEIR PART. WE HAVE OUR TRAVEL PLANS ON HOLD UNTIL WE CAN HAVE A REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM.
