On June 22, 2025, I parked my Jeep in a parking space in a hotel parking lot. I opened the rear tailgate to retrieve items and when I closed the tailgate, the spare tire fell off as a result of the the spare tire carrier failing and ripping in half. Half of the carrier is still bolted to the Jeep and the other half to the spare tire. There was no warning of impending failure. If this had occurred 10 minutes earlier while I was on the freeway, it could have injured or killed someone. There is nothing in the Jeep owner's manual about maintenance or how to prevent this from happening. Jeep's response was that it is no longer under warranty, but I feel this is a product defect issue. (see photos)

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP RUBICON PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER WITH OEM PARTS INCLUDING FACTORY TIRES. IT WAS ALWAYS A HARDER DRIVE BUT AFTER HITTING 14000 MILES THE TIRES STARTED THUMPING AROUND 40 MILES AN HOUR AND CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, ALONG WITH WOBBLING, SHAKING AND SLIPPING OVER BUMPS. I WAS TOLD THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE ROTATED EVERY 5000 MILES. I HAD THEM ROTATED BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AS WELL AS TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE TIRES BUT THERE WAS ALSO SOME ISSUES WITH THE BEARINGS. ALL THIS AT 14000 MILES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND A PRICE TAG OF 42,000 DOLLARS. EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES HAD A LIFETIME WARRANTY THE UNEVEN TREAD AND WEAR WAS NOT COVERED. I ENDED UP HAVING A TO BUY A NEW TIRE AND TAKE THE SPARE SO THAT THE FRONT TIRES WITH THE MOST UNEVEN TREAD WERE REPLACED, AT MY EXPENSE. AFTER I WAS TOLD IF I KEEP THE TIRES ROTATED EVERYTIME I GET AN OIL CHANGE I WOULD BE FINE. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. EVERY TIME I WENT OVER A BUMPY AREA ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD LOSE TRACTION AND WOBBLE. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN CONSTANT AND THE SHAKING AND WOBBLING HAS GOTTEN SO BAD I CANT DRIVE MY JEEP WITHOUT IT TURNING MILK INTO CREAM. I TOOK IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND IT WAS WORSE THAN BEFORE. I TOOK IT BACK, EXPLAINED IN DETAIL AND WAS TOLD LOTS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPRESSED THE SAME ISSUE BUT THAT THE JEEP RUBICON IS NOT MEANT FOR FREEWAY DRIVING THE TIRES ARE FOR MUD, THAT I SHOULD GET NEW TIRES AND JUST DEAL WITH IT, OR SELL IT. IS THAT AN ACCEPTABLE WAY TO STAND BEHIND A PRODUCT? OR AN ACCEPTABLE WAY TO TREAT YOUR CUSTOMER? THE VEHICLE HAS A DEFECT. TIRES THAT COME WITH A 50,000 MILE WARRANTY SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 14000. SHAKING, WOBBLING, AND VIBRATING AND UNEVEN TIRE TREAD IN A VEHICLE IS NOT NORMAL. THE VEHICLE IS A LEMON AND A BUYBACK SHOULD BE IN EFFECT.

AFTER HAVING THE CHRYSLER JEEP MOPAR PERFORMANCE PART# 77072353AB_FS INSTALLED BY A JEEP DEALER, THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED. WITH JEEP VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN LIFTED USING THE OEM MOPAR 'JEEP PERFORMANCE PARTS' 4" LIFT KIT PRODUCT, WHEREBY FOLLOWING 'JEEP DEALER PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION' AND IN CERTAIN DRIVING SCENARIOS, THE REAR PROPELLER SHAFT COMES INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH BOTH THE VEHICLE'S EVAP TANK ON DRIVER-SIDE AND FUEL TANK ON PASSENGER-SIDE UNDER CERTAIN RAISED FRONT INDEPENDENT RIGHT OR LEFT WHEEL ARTICULATION SCENARIOS AND I HAVE PERSONALLY INCURRED DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES OEM PROPELLER SHAFT AND BOOT SLEEVE AND THE ADJACENT EVAP TANK AND FUEL TANK ITEMS FROM THE OEM PROPELLER SHAFT MAKING DIRECT CONTACT WITH BOTH THE EVAP AND FUEL TANKS UNDER THE VEHICLE. THIS 4" LIFT KIT IS A MOPAR SOLD AND JEEP DEALER INSTALLED PRODUCT AND THEY REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR REPLACING THE OEM REAR PROPELLER SHAFT WITH AN AFTER MARKET REAR DRIVE SHAFT THAT THEY RECOMMENDED AND INSTALLED THAT MITIGATES THE ISSUE OF ARTICULATION CONTACT OF THEIR OEM PROPELLER (WHICH IS LARGER IN DIAMETER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE SHAFT REPLACEMENT THEY SUBSEQUENTLY INSTALLED). I HAVE DOCUMENTED PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE OEM DRIVE SHAFT HITTING THE ADJACENT ITEMS UNDER THE VEHICLE WHICH I ALSO PROVIDED TO THE JEEP DEALER IN MY CITY OF RESIDENCE. HOWEVER, DEALER SAID THAT UNLESS THEY HAVE A SAFETY RECALL OR SOMETHING ELSE FROM CHRYSLER INDICATING THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT FOR ME... FOR SOME UNLUCKY PEOPLE, THE GAS TANK RUPTURING AND CATCHING FIRE WILL BE THE ONLY EVENT THAT MAKES THEM AWARE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER, JEEP, MOPAR HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY REALIZED NOR ADDRESSED...

AT 34,000 MILES I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A ROTATIONAL VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE AND THE DRIVERS FRONT SUSPENSION STARTED TO GET LOUDER OVER A COUPLE WEEKS SO I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE BALL JOINTS WERE WORN AND THEY SAID IT WAS STILL LOUD DUE TO TIRES AGE (WHICH WERE ROTATED WITH EVERY OIL CHANGE AT APPROX 4,000 MILES). THE TIRES WERE NOT WORN DUE TO AGE BUT INSTEAD CUPPED DUE TO DAMAGED SUSPENSION COMPONENT, THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT ON 12/15/2016 AT 32,534 MILES FOUND THE TREAD DEPTH TO BE AT 8/32 OR GREATER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN A FEW DAYS LATER BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE REPAIR AND THEY FOUND THE TREAD DEPTH TO BE AT 9/32.

AT 11600 MILES, THE FRONT TIRES ON THE VEHICLE ARE SEVERELY CUPPED AND CHOPPED ON THE INSIDE DRIVING SURFACE. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD POOR HANDLING SINCE DELIVERY. AT 2400 MILES, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR POOR HANDLING, WANDERING, TIRE OSCILLATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE DEALER DID "STEERING REPAIRS" AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE. AT 11500 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR IDENTICAL HANDLING AND STEERING PROBLEMS. THE DEALER REPORTED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION AND ROTATED THE TIRES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED, AND DRIVEN AT 30+ MILES PER HOUR, THERE WAS A TERRIBLE HOWL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE STEERING PROBLEMS PERSISTED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, THE TIRE DAMAGE WAS REVEALED TO THE OWNER, AND THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THESE PARTICULAR TIRES NEED TO BE ROTATED EVERY 2500 MILES OR THIS DAMAGE WILL OCCUR. THE DEALER, AND CHRYSLER, REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRES, STATED THE STEERING WAS FINE, AND SAID THE TIRES NEED TO BE ROTATED AS STATED ABOVE. THE TIRES ARE BF GOODRICH MUD TERRAIN TIRES, WHICH CAME FROM THE FACTORY. THE UNSAFE STEERING REMAINS UNREPAIRED, THE TWO TIRES ARE RUINED AT 11000 MILES, AND CHRYSLER AND THE DEALER HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER TO REMEDY THE SITUATION OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS A STEERING/SUSPENSION DEFECT, WHICH THE COMPANY IS UNWILLING TO REMEDY, OR EVEN REPLACE RUINED TIRES. THE COMPANIES ONLY REMEDY IS TO MANDATE A RIDICULOUS ROTATION SCHEDULE FOR THE TIRES. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

MY JEEP HAS 15000 MILES AND FOR THE PAST YEAR I HAS BEEN SUFFERING WHAT IS CALL THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE CAR ALL THE SUDDEN WILL START SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLE MAKING IT VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE STEERING. I TOOK IT TO WESTGATE JEEP SERVICE IN RALEIGH NC. THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT BUT IT KEEPS DOING IT. I'M TAKING BACK THIS WEEK. THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTS WHEN I GO OVER AN EVEN SECTION OF THE ROAD AND USUALLY AT A SPEED OVER 60 MPH. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPS IS BRINGING THE SPEED TO ALMOST 30 MPH MAKING VERY DANGEROUS IN THE HIGHWAY
