“Multiple times yesterday, starting with (which I thought nothing of initially) the traction control light turning on while the Jeep was in park not moving. Shortly there after while driving straight on a highway about 45-55 MPH a knock or clunk was felt beneath the floor, immediately followed by the eas, traction control, ABS and brake lights illuminated, the airbag light flashed, the wipers running even though they were off, a hard pull to the right and high running/increasing RPM's on a level road with my foot off the accelerator. …”
NHTSA complaint #10874531, filed 2016-06, 108,000 miles“My car has been in and out of port jeff Jeep 6 times. It goes in with problems, they can't find anything wrong with it, and I get it back with problems. It seems to be an electrical malfunction. It stalls, the esp doesn't always work, sometimes goes on for no reason, the alarm doesn't work.”
NHTSA complaint #10208979, filed 2007-11, 2,200 miles“While turning into my driveway my 2007 Jeep wrangler x (with 55000 miles) chimed and the air-bag , traction control, and anti-lock brake warning lights lit up. Upon investigating the issue I found that this leaves the safety systems inactive! A bad clock spring in the steering wheel is he cause of all the system failures. My vehicle is no longer covered under warranty, but I feel that this should still be covered by Jeep/chrysler. This is a major safety concern or me and my family.”

The vehicle started to vibrate ,and the contact heard a loud grinding noise. About 10 times and the majority of the time, it was when the vehicle was on an incline.
