I have 2 issues with this vehicle issue#1 the tire pressure sensor acts up on the front driver side tire pressure goes down to the low 20s then when driving it goes up to 43 and then back down to the 20s , the other is that I was driving from Pennsylvania to New York and the car stalled in New Jersey with no warning I was at the far left side of the highway and came close to getting rear ended twice real bad (my girlfriend who was and is pregnant) was on the passenger seat was hysterically crying because of how close we came to having an accident that would’ve cost us our lives , the car took 5 minutes to start again and we were escorted to safety by tow company that saw us through the cameras they have on the bridges very thankful to them escorting...

CORROSION ON THE HUBS OF ALL THE WHEELS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR JUST ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW. THIS IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP. I HAVE NOTICED ON MANY JEEPS IN MY AREA. IT IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT THE WARRANTY COVERS DESPITE BEING A NEW CAR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURE ISSUE.

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2012 JEEP GC, LUGNUTS HAVE BECOME LOOSE AND AT TIMES FALL OFF THE STUD WHILE DRIVING. REGARDLESS OF HOW WELL, OR HOW MANY TIMES THE LUG NUTS ARE TORCHED DOWN, THEY BECOME LOOSE AND FALL OFF. I HAVE REPLACED OVER 5 WHEEL STUDS BECAUSE THEY BREAK OFF UNDER PRESSURE AND TWICE AS MANY LUG NUTS AT $12 A PIECE. EACH REPAIR HAS COST ME OVER $150 A VISIT FOR STUD REPAIR. WHILE MOVING FROM MINNESOTA TO CALIFORNIA, MY LUG NUTS BECAME SO LOOSE ON MY WHEEL THE WHEEL ALMOST FELL OFF GOING 80 MPH. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 85,000 MILES ON IT.

OVER THE LAST YEAR, THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH LUG NUTS COMING LOOSE WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSING LOSS IF THE LUG NUT AND TIRE WOBBLING (NOISE). ON 11/09/14, I WAS PARKING MY VEHICLE DRIVING UNDER 5 MPH AND HEARD A LOUD POP. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, I GOT OUT AND LOOKED BY MY DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE AND SEE THAT LUG NUT AND WHEEL STUD BROKE OFF. I AM SCHEDULED TO SEE THE DEALER TOMORROW FOR A REVIEW OF THE ISSUE AND LOOK FOR OTHER DAMAGE. THE ONGOING ISSUE OF LOOSE LUG NUTS IS A GREAT CONCERN AND MAKES ME WONDER IF THERE IS A BIGGER ISSUE WITH FAULTY STUDS OR WHEEL BEARINGS. *TR
