Potential Consequences:

While driving on the highway, there was a massive electrical system failure, resulting in the power steering, air bag, lane management, emergency braking, and other systems failing immediately and without warning.

The vehicle is being towed to the dealership to be inspected, but due to the safety issues this warrants a report.

Could have been a catastrophe lucky traveling at slow speed(just came off highway). Towed to Dealer. Huntington Jeep dealer on Jericho Tpke 11743 said looks like damaged caused by hitting a pot hole. This did not happen,my opinion is part failed due to defect. Car was left on ground and still there in lot until parts come in so Insurance said they couldn't determine what caused failure. No warning lights or messages before failure.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Power Steering Warning see dealer for service light appeared on dashboard upon starting vehicle. I tried restarting the vehicle 7 times, and it did not reset the light. Also, the steering wheel is very heavy to turn. It is available to inspection upon request. I will be taking it to the dealer tomorrow. I did not leave my parking lot because it occurred upon starting the car, and I was unable to take my children to tee ball.

Defect Description:

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Potential Consequences:

Backstory: This vehicle has had electrical issues since the day after signing the lease. The second day of driving the vehicle would not start and flashed all the sorts of engine failures. The dealership could not find anything wrong with it after two weeks and deemed it "repaired." Then, 2 days later the vehicle would not start again and flashed all sorts of of engine and system failures. After 4 months of going through FCA's process for the Lemon Law buyback, FCA presented a buyout offer that was inadequate and contained numerous release clauses we were not comfortable agreeing to. We choose to seek Mass Lemon Law State Arbitration as our right to ensure we achieved a fair outcome. FCA pulled our replacement vehicle and in essence forced us to drive to take back and drive the vehicle after it was again "repaired" this time by replacing a battery. The dealership that repaired the vehicle drove it for a week before we were comfortable taking it back. Incident: A month later, while driving the vehicle on a busy main road (at approx. 15 MPH), the vehicle started to alert that various systems were disable and the transmission started to shift violently and the engine reved. The ABS, airbags, lane departure, powering steering, and other systems said they were disabled and that the transmission was disabled. Fortunately, there was a parking lot on the right, I was able to turn into the lot, and attempt to find a safe place to stop. The parking lot was busy and before I was able to pull into a parking space, the car shut off and would not turn on. The hazard lights would not function, and the vehicle was blocking traffic and multiple parked cars. The car would occasionally start and stay on for 10 to 30 seconds at a time, but either the parking brake was locked or the transmission shifted violently as I pressed the gas pedal. After 20 minutes, I managed to limp the car to a safe spot and await a tow. The vehicle is at the dealership. There is also video.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Steering wheel is very difficult to turn. The difficulty seems to vary somewhat with the temperature-- with the car extremely difficult to turn when both the car and weather are cold-- though even when warm it is more difficult to turn than it should be. The car operates as though there is no power steering when cold, or as if some component of the power steering is bad. The steering wheel also makes a ticking/brushing sound when turned (some component catching or rubbing against another component within the steering column). My safety is at risk because maneuvering the vehicle is difficult. It is especially difficult to maneuver at higher speed (the wheel is almost impossible to turn). Local dealership tested the vehicle and didn't report that they noticed any problems, though they never actually listened for any kind of friction or ticking in the steering column. They also have no frame of reference for how the steering wheel SHOULD turn, since they don't own the car, and as such would not be able to tell if there were a problem by feel alone. No warning messages appeared.
