 Description of the problemI purchased vehicle in feb 2018. Within the first week or two started having problems. A coworker purchased a 2018 jeep cherokee. She returned it in two months because it would not start. Another coworker's girlfriend purchased a 2018 rubicon with engine light problems, starting issues, and radio not working. My vehicle history: rear defroster sensor on back window does not stay secured. 4th return to dealer. Second window to be replaced. Panel light for rear window defroster continues to light, but sensor is not connected. Have been on wait list since march 2019 for new window to arrive. It appears the sensor cord is too short to reach window when raising. Death wobble has happened 3x while in motion on highway and has been at the dealership 3x for this issue. Vehicle does not correct itself while driving and it feels like the vehicle is coming apart. Had to continue driving on the highway, slowing down did not correct the problem, until i reached a safe place to pull over. Once coming to a complete stop, it corrected itself. The jeep looses total control and i am afraid something may come apart causing injury or death. Freedom tops had rattle inside of them with huge wind noise when in motion. Problem corrected when dealership switched out freedom tops. Now the freedom top is too big for freedom bag. The bag appears to be coming apart when zipped. Drove to store and got out of the vehicle. Tried to remote lock the vehicle, which failed. Tried to start jeep, it would not start. Followed instructions on panel to use key by placing close to remote start button. After a second try it started. Radio playing two stations at one time. Back camera would not work. Key fob replaced as it was falling apart. Armrest replaced, would not connect when enclosed in holder. All began in 2/2018. Date i am about to enter below is for the wobble.

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
