The front air springs, struts, and air suspension compressor failed. The dealer cannot get the right front air spring because it is backordered. It appears that 100% of these components fail creating demand that the manufacturer cannot keep up with.

All-wheel drive is no longer working due to messages stating "service anti-lock brake system," "service air suspension immediately," and check engine light. All lights and cautionary messages came on at the exact same moment while coming out of park over a year ago. I have had the vehicle repaired twice, and the dealership says, "It is a wiring issue," but within a month after being repaired each time, the messages and issues begin happening again.

1.At 63263 miles ADAS front Parking sensor and at 96000 miles Active park assist modules are failing with a pop up message asking for a service. The parts are working intermly but, I believe it could potentially mislead the driver when parking using Active Park assist and can cause and injury or damage if the safety system fails.

I was the first owner to my jeep grand cherokee purchased in 2018. Within a few months I started getting a warning message to service the suspension system right away. The car would then get stuck in four wheel drive or other mode and would not rise or lower stating I needed to slow down (I was already driving below the speed limit) while on the highway in order to maintain proper height.

I was driving between 50 - 55 MPH and without warning there was a really hard hit and loud noise that I thought may have been a blow out. It was daylight and no debris in the road that I hit to cause any damage. I had new tires that was approximately 5 months old and 44,000 miles on my vehicle.

A arm broke clean in two while driving down road. Nothing was hit prior too arm breaking as a result car pulled to right and hit back tire on a curb which caused rotor and ball joint on back to break. Have been complaining to service department of popping noise at front right tire with no resolve.

When starting the vehicle, it made a grinding sound. Then a dashboard message popped up stating that the air suspension needed servicing immediately. This same message appeared every time we started the car.

'service air suspension immediately' is the warning on my jeep and many peoples jeeps since 2015. This issue is a constant problem and chrysler has no answer. Where is the recall?
