I have two major issues. The first being that the leather on my dash has completely shriveled up into weird bumps and looks horrible. I'm not sure what would of caused it because it is something that I have never seen before. The second thing is that my back right suspension is messed up. The back left side of my jeep sags when I put it in park and as it lowers into park level.

Electrical stability control does not work properly it sways from and rear. Mainly when it rains. Electrical system a problem between signal lights and the radio, when the signals are use the radio goes off??? Lift suspension system operate by itself, up and down on his own, and that problem prevents for the SUV to be aligned; also there is a shaking on steering wheel when above 55mph. I don?t know if this unit was taken for service on any other subject like; air bags, steering components, front suspension or any other campaign of recalls. I?m the third owner and have to find out the hard way. Sincerely [xxx] USA. Retired information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

My jeep was driving just find until a couple days ago. I heard a gnarly pop and pssssssstttttt noise from the right front of my car. Luckily I just pulled into my dads driveway, since I thought my tire popped and was hissing air out. I get out to find that my front air suspension, on both sides, was done for... It is currently in the shop and awaiting inspection. I read that this has happened to many jeep gc owners which is ridiculous, and jeep/mopar should look into this further! Hopefully the repairs don't cost me an arm and leg, because I am fresh out...
