Suspension · at 130,000 miles · reported Sep 30, 2017
I was backing out of driveway and the passenger side ball joint came apart. This let the control arm fall in to the rim. Breaking it and blowing out tire. Also damaged cv axle and passenger side fender. Prior to that about 3 months before the driver side ball joint did the same thing. This time I was slowing down to turn left. Also dropped control arm through the rim and tire. Thus damaging cv axle and fender. After this l checked in to this and seen there was a recall on this year vehicle.

On 1/3/11 the horn malfunctioned worse then ever. It was like the horn has a mind of it's own. In the past it was only when I unlocked it and then it would finally stop a few minutes later. But then I honked my horn at someone coming into my lane and the horn would not stop. Then it would do a few short honks and then it just stopped. I went to run errands and it just kept honking at all different times. I tried hitting the horn really hard but that didn't always work. Then it didn't work when I wanted it to. I pulled into the dealership, with it honking, they couldn't do anything, said the…
Air Bags · reported Jun 19, 2015
The horn goes off at anytime that it wants. Unable to stop it unless I pull the horn relay. My air bag light stays on all the time. Cruise control does not work. I had the same problem in chevy tahoe and I know what the problem is. It is the clock-spring and I have searched and made calls to everyone and I will not pay $700-$1,000 for a small peace of plastic which from most of the complaints on this list is about. From what I under stand from the dealer the part they do not make anymore and the cheapest that I can find it for is$417.00. That is a joke. Chrysler should do a recall on this…
