| Description of the problem | When flat towing our 2014 jeep cherokee with active drive ii on a rough road at a speed of approximately 45 mph, the car vibrated so badly it shook our 30,000 lb motorhome so badly that we had to completely stop the rig and then resume movement. The second time this happened we were on hwy 116 near petaluma, ca and we were in heavy traffic and the roadway had no verge. It was only by luck that we did not wreck or cause a wreck. Owner forums indicate this has happened to other jeep cherokee owners. Why doesn't chrysler motors have to fix this? We could have been killed or killed someone. This happened three times in the sam general area but there was no safe place for us to pull over and disconnect the jeep. Please help us. |
