| Traction Control System problems |
I bought my 2009 Jeep Wrangler around October, November 2009, used with about 16,000 miles from world car Nissan with a one hundred thousand mile warranty. The Jeep came with an after market lift kit of approx 4 inches with 33 inch toyo open country tires "rancho shocks, sky jacker lift" world car told me the Jeep came like this originally from the dealer. World car encouraged me to take the Jeep and test drive it for a couple of days. After returning the Jeep I told them that I liked the Jeep but it had handling issues on the road. While test driving the Jeep on normal roads I noticed the Jeep would track hard and pull to the left and to the right almost causing me to run off the road on multiple occasions. World car said they would check out the front end alignment and balance the tires. I purchased the Jeep. When picking up the Jeep they told me they took care of all the problems. Jeep assured me the handling issues were due to the lift and larger tires. About two weeks later leaving work I turned a corner and my right front tire started klunking and wobbling. The right front tire was missing 4 of 5 lug nuts and had one broken stud. Only one lug nut was holding my tire on. The Jeep had to be towed. World car gave me a loaner car, repaired the problem, with no apology and no explanation. Around July 2009, I drove to port arkansas texas, I drove to the beach. I only drove in the normal traffic lanes no four wheeling. The next week on Friday while driving down ih 35 the vehicle suddenly jerked to the left almost causing me to have an accident. On Saturday I noticed the right rear shock hanging down. The upper shock support pin was broken off. Jeep accused me of four wheeling and abusing the Jeep, they repaired it at no cost to me. Some times the traction control system comes on pre-maturely while making corners making the Jeep hard to handle. Now the esp bas light came on and stays on. On Jeepforum. Com esp bas failure appears to be a common problem.
