Ticking from left cylinder head and minor tick from right cylinder head. Chrysler admits to having a manufacturer defect in vehicle and extended the warranty on the left cylinder head. If there is a compression issue and the vehicle stalls in the roadway could be a fatal mistake. This needs to be fixed in all vehicles included with the right cylinder head. Or recall the vehicle. This is a huge safety issue.

My drive shaft is coming apart, I understand this is one of over 100 recently having this same problem. The jeep is unsafe to drive (vibration and knocking sounds) and the delivery time on the replacement is 3 months. Jeep are suggesting the vehicle is safe to drive while waiting for the part and therefore not providing temporary transportation until the new part comes in.

My car will stall and then accelerate very quickly. If I am driving and trying to accelerate my car will stall almost cutting off. This usually happens around a speed of 25/30 mile per hour. I also experienced deceleration while driving on the highway at 60/65 MPH. This is very scary. Also when I am in reverse my transmission makes a knocking sound. My engine light constantly comes on. Heat vapors comes from the hood of the car.

Approximately 6 weeks ago I reported a lack of response when braking. Dealer looked at the system and found no issue. Reported it again two weeks ago. Dealer looked at the system and found brake booster needed changing. Got the vehicle back last week and the problem has re-occurred. At a standstill when you press the brake pedal you get an air brake type sound, and a slight knock, which appears to coming from the compartment behind the pedal. Issue has been reported again to the dealer. Thanks,
