Suspension problem #1

Subject: formal complaint and request for escalation – 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe trailhawk – VIN [xxx] good day, I am formally requesting an immediate engineering review and reconsideration of the denial of warranty coverage for my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe trailhawk, VIN #[xxx], currently with approximately 3,012 miles. I believe a serious error and injustice has occurred regarding the diagnosis and classification of this vehicle’s failure as “weather related. ” this conclusion appears arbitrary and unsupported by any documented root cause analysis, engineering findings, or formal repair report. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Suspension problem #2

I am writing to you regarding a persistent creaking noise in the front end of my vehicle when turning the wheel. I have brought the car in twice already for this issue, but the problem has not been identified or resolved. The vehicle is scheduled to come in again for the same issue. While I have been told it is not a safety concern, I am troubled that the source of the noise remains unknown. Without identifying the root cause, I am uncertain how it can be definitively determined that there is no safety risk. I would appreciate it if you could ensure a thorough investigation is conducted to pinpoint and resolve this creaking noise. But, it does not do it when it is warm out. It started around 25,000 miles and we had to wait until it was cooler outside when they could get it back in and really look at it without the outside tempurature affecting the noise.

Suspension problem #3

When driving on any kind of roads the brake pedal has a vibration. I recently changed the tires and it helped a little but the vibration is still there. I want to get this resolved bc I’m afraid of driving sometimes. The vibration isn’t crazy but I don’t know what is causing it. I feel unsafe driving sometimes.

Suspension problem #4

We have an unknown problem with a clunking/creaking noise while driving the vehicle we believe is coming from the front of the vehicle, possibly the suspension or steering. We are not sure we feel safe driving the vehicle since after taking it to the dealer three times in the past year, the dealer acknowledges the clunking but has not been able to identify and fix the issue. We have been told by the dealer it is safe to drive - but if they can't identify and fix the issue - how do they know that to be the case? without being able to identify the cause of the noise and whatever resulting unusual wear and tear, will we have a catastrophic steering or suspension failure while driving the vehicle? our 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe trailhawk, (purchased new) has an "air" suspension - not sure if it's an option or standard on the trailhawk models. We have had it in to the dealer three times for this issue - this last time the dealer had the truck for 16 plus weeks. The front stabilizer bar has been replaced multiple times, the upper and lower control arms have all been replaced, all four air shocks have been replaced, and a mounting bracket replaced. The dealer told us they opened a star case with Jeep and the Jeep engineer has been on-site to examine the vehicle. After the engineer requested three different fixes that did not fix the problem, the dealer returned the vehicle and stated they are aware the issue persists and the Jeep engineering group is working on a resolution (even though they no longer have the vehicle in their possession to test solutions). They will notify us when a repair is available.
