Equipment problem #1

Stopped at stop sign. Started to make right hand turn, heard pop in the steering column, warning bell went off, airbag light came on and stayed on. Horn stopped working and no cruise control. Took vehicle in for replacement of clockspring today, 7/18/2015, at a cost of $167. 99 for the part and $119. 23 for labor. No airbags is a safety issue. Clockspring failure is known to Dodge/Chrysler and recently Jeep and any vehicle made by Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep that has this failure should have all parts and labor covered by the vehicle manufacturer. We did nothing to cause this and could have done nothing to prevent it. Recalls were done but not for all vehicles. Maybe that needs to change. Bad part for sure!!.

Equipment problem #2

Oil light came on a month after I bought it. Has oil in it so I dont know why it would be on.

Equipment problem #3

When the steering will is turned all the way it makes a squelling noise. Put power steering fluid in and still no change.
