NHTSA Complaint #11111405 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

ACCORDING TO OWNERS MANUAL AND JEEP, THIS VEHICLE IS DESIGNED AND CAPABLE OF BEING FLAT TOWED BEHIND AN RV. THERE WAS A SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENT FROM JEEP ADVISING IF YOU EXPERIENCE A WOBBLE WHEN TOWING YOU NEED KIT 683214AB. THIS NEEDS TO BE MANDATORY AS IT HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH AFTER TOWING THOUSANDS OF MILES, THE JEEP WILL START VIOLENTLY WOBBLING WHEN DRIVING REQUIRING THE RV TO FULLY STOP IN ORDER TO RECOVER. ON THE TWO OCCASIONS, THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE FIRST ISSUE THE CAR WAS SWINGING SO MUCH IT DAMAGED THE REAR PASSENGER CAR TIRE RIM BY HITTING THE CURB. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO BIKERS OR PEDESTRIAN AT THE TIME. THE RV WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 25 MPH ON FLAT STREET ROADS. THE FIRST TIME WE TURNED A HARD RIGHT AND WAS +200 FROM THE TURN. THE SECOND TIME WE TURNED LEFT AND ABOUT +200 FROM THE TURN. THE JEEP IS CONFIGURED WITH SUPPLEMENTAL BRAKING, LIGHTS, TOW BAR, AND BREAK AWAY KIT. WE TOW IT WITH A 40' DIESEL PUSHER RV ABOUT 34K LBS. MY REQUEST IS TO HAVE JEEP MAKE THIS FIX MANDATORY INSTEAD OF ELECTIVE.
