| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler x. The current and failure mileage were 300. There was a deep channel that was in the outer ring of the wheel . The space was large and it collected water and debris. While driving all of the debris from the road was in the wheel, and this caused the vehicle to drive in a weird way. While driving at speeds of 55 mph the wheel launched a piece of debris. The dealer agreed that there was a major design problem, and told him just to be careful while driving at elevated speeds. Daimler/chrysler stated that there was nothing that they could do about the problem because there was no part to service the defect. During testing of the vehicle the manufacturer noticed that the rear coil springs were weak. *ak updated 07/06/07.*jb |
