I’ve had numerous problems with this car. I’ve already replaced cv axles and now the steering knuckle needs replaced! the car is shaking and knocking and is not safe to drive. It’s being replaced in a few days but is costing over $800 and this car has not been in an accident and is only 6 years old.
I have a 2016 Jeep. It will not accelerate going up hills, picking up speeds, rpms will not shift accurately. We took to the deal shop and they told me it's a bad transmission all together.
I come down a small over pass, and ice wasn't visible/ when I braked my left tire driver side at the curb.
Back in November of 2018 my Jeep was in an accident. My son was the operator of the vehicle at the time on his way to pick me up from work in tiverton rhode island. According to him, he recalls everything fine and then a moment wherein everything went blank. Upon arrival the vehicle was severely damaged, I asked him what happened, he was in a state of confusion. At that point the police had caught up, and began the investigation, and my son went to the hospital by rescue. Fast forward: we are in question to the vehicle's safety. At the time of the incident the vehicle veered into the oncoming traffic. Based on our investigation and recall of the incident a: the airbags did not deploy and b: the right wheel and axle was completely disengaged although the vehicle had sustained a majority of damages on the left/driver's side! the left/driver's side wheel and axle was still completely intact despite sustaining a vast amount of damages.
The cv axles have gone bad on a car that is brand new after only 2 years I haven't even been driving it 2 years and I feel that it can mess up my steering and and cause me to have a wreck due to the clicking and popping and vibrations being put off by the steering and from tires even going thirty and not during a turn.
