WHEELS
ABS anti lock break system , intermittent warning on the dashboard, brake and traction lights. Pep boys and auto zone both describe there is an internal malfunction with no specific codes , they can not prescribe a fix as the speed wheel sensors are working ok. Jeep forums say it may not be safe to drive as wheels may lock under hazardous driving conditions.

WHEELS:RIM
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while stopped at a stop light, he depressed the accelerator pedal to drive when all 5-wheel studs inadvertently snapped off the rear passenger’s side wheel. The rim fractured and the tire was sliced and detached from the rim. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

These are aftermarket , designed and marketed as for off-road use and used as up-fit parts on newly manufactured Jeep and Ram vehicles. I own five wheels and this far two wheels have developed hairline cracks and are leaking air. According to online forums/AEV forum, people claim this is a common issue. Since two wheels have developed hairline cracks in the exact same location, I believe it could be a nationwide unsafe situation for unsuspecting AEV wheel owners.

THIS VEHICLE HAS UNDER 20,000 MILES ON IT. HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, OR BEEN OFF-ROAD OR RAN OVER OR HIT ANYTHING OTHER THAN DIPS AND BUMPS THAT MY TOYOTA YARIUS AND HONDA FIT HAVE RAN OVER WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAS WORN OUT TWICE AND CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS BECAUSE I DID NOT ROTATE TIRES EVERY 5,000 MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM EITHER DURING SERVICE OR WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FLAW THAT CHRYSLER IS PRETENDING DOES NOT EXIST.

NETS REFERENCE: #, CHRYSLER RECALL, PAW, TAPING SYSTEM. MY JEEP IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE PAW RECALL REFERS TO, THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY VINE. # IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, WHEN IN FACT IT SHOULD BE. THE TAPING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN ONE TIRE DROPPED TO 33 BECAUSE THE THRESHOLD WAS PROGRAMMED INCORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SET LOWER, PROBABLY AROUND 30 ? I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THE RANGE OF VINE. NUMBERS OF AFFECTED JEEPS COULD BE RE-EVALUATED, AS THIS IS CLEARLY AFFECTING MY JEEP? THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).? *JB
