I HAD A REAR LEFT WHEEL BEARING AND HUB ASSEMBLY REMOVED AND REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE VERY LOUD NOISES IT PRODUCED. THEN HE ALSO TOLD ME AT THAT TIME, I WOULD ALSO NEED A RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING DONE, AND REAR BRAKES. I ALREADY HAD MY FRONT BRAKES REPLACED. IN ADDITION A TIE ROD REPLACED AS WELL AND ALSO LOWER LEFT AND LOWER RIGHT CONTROL ARMS REPLACED. NOT TO MENTION A WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO BOOT BECAUSE I JUST PUT ON 4 NEW TIRES. NOW WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE HEARD I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY BALL JOINTS, WILL THEY BE NEXT? I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE DUMB CAR, I DON'T GO FOR ANY TRIPS OR ANYTHING, I AM A SENIOR WHO HASN'T MUCH MONEY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE SAFE. WHY AREN'T THEY MAKING JEEP DO A RECALL ON THESE CARS? I ALSO RECEIVED IN THE MAIL A SILENT RECALL FOR CORROSION ON THE CROSS MEMBERS, NOW THEY ARE GIVING ME A HARD TIME ABOUT THAT AS WELL. PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP US OUT! *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON I-30 AT 70 MPH, MY JEEP JUST DIED. NO WARNING SIGN OF ANY KIND, JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL WRECKS. I GOT TO THE MEDIAN, WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES, IT STARTED AND I DROVE ABOUT 20 MORE MILES, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH, TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS PUT ON THE COMPUTER, COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAD HIM (MECHANIC) KEEP IT TILL IT HAPPENED TO HIM. FINALLY IT DID, TOOK THE FUEL PUMP OFF AND THE PLUG WAS MELTED, AS WELL AS MELTED A HOLE IN THE FUEL PUMP. HE STATED HE IS SURPRISED WE DIDN'T BLOW UP. I PLAN ON TAKING THE BURNED PLUG & PUMP TO THE DODGE HOUSE ON MONDAY, VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE! *TR
