Lately I been having trouble startimg the Jeep. At first it seems as if the battery is low. Sounds like it wont start but then it slowly picks up and starts if I press the gas. I changed battery but still having trouble. But once its on and running it seems fine. I also have a steering problem. Truck seems to pull to the left.

2 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 07/17/2017

Vehicle bought brand new for Jeep dealer. Only has 92,000 miles. Wife had a flat tire Monday June 17th. Called for a tow truck to put spare tire on. Refused because vehicle came with a 17in spare . Tires are 225 75 16 in from factory. Spare has never been installed. Has all stickers on rim, writing on tire no marks of installing. Police officer told my wife if he had seen it on vehicle she would have been given a ticket for a unsafe tire. Contacted both dealer and Jeep. Would not do anything. If this vehicle came with wrong spare, how many other vehicles have and where driven and caused accident. There is probably less than 2 in of clearance. Somebody who just puts it on may not notice.

3 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2016

My Jeep violently shakes when I'm driving speeds of 50+ and it is very dangerous because as we all know highways and freeways are speeds between 55 and 70 and I cannot drive over 50. The other day it started to shake so bad that I had to pull over and almost hit the cement guard rail. I have to transport my grandchildren from time to time and god forbid anything happen to them Chrysler will be responsible. I have done research and this issue is called the death wobble and is the perfect name for it. They need to do a recall on this issue before someone gets killed. Please make Chrysler do the right thing and fix this problem.
