NHTSA Complaint #10919125 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

TAKATA RECALL CAR BUCKING WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR. ALSO THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL OR GOING OVER BUMPS. IT GOT SO BAD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRE WAS GOING TO FALL OFF OR THE UNDERNEATH OF MY CAR. ALSO MY CAR WAS SHAKING WHEN IT WOULD HIT A BUMP. THERE WAS ALSO A WHINING NOISE THAT WOULD OCCUR WHEN I TURNED MY WHEEL EITHER WAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW, EVERYTIME I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT MY "CAR WAS FINE" WAS NOT UNTIL I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BALL JOINT. THIS WOULD OCCUR WHILE THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR SIDE ROADS, AS LONG AS THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. ALSO MY CAR WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN SHIFTING. THE CAR BUCKED ON MY ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS GOING 65 THE CAR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND I GOT WARNING LIGHTS STATING TO PUT CAR INTO DESIRED GEAR, CHECK OIL AND TRANSMISSION. I PULLED INTO THE BREAK DOWN LANE AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF & THE SAME THING HAPPENED. *TR
