Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The Jeep was shaking uncontrollable at 45 MPH. The chase connected to the track bar mount broke due to metal fatigue. The problem has yet to be fixed.. After talking with a body shop 3/8'' steel plate welded to the chase would fix the problem. Warning it comes from metal fatigue!!!! The main problems seem to be the track bar mount and chase.”
