Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I purchased a brand new car and the ABS system keeps failing. My car has passed inspections but for this continues to be a problem
I bought the car in 7/23 at Auto Savvy Sta fe New Mexico, after 3-4 weeks the power steering wheel light on I called the dealer so they checked n then they said nothing is wrong so after that the lights . The car were 3 times at the dealer and the last time was there for 9 weeks. So they said they changed the steering column, the clock spring and the lights came back. So one time I lost the control, on the high way so after that I haven’t used the car.
After approximately 30 minutes of operation, the vehicle begins to develop an intermittent steering play. The best way to describe it is like when a torque wrench reaches the torque setting and breaks. A slight steering correction suddenly breaks a small amount. It makes maintaining lane position much more difficult. The condition also seems to be induced when descending down a grade. It becomes noticeable at speeds above 45 MPH. I have taken the vehicle to both Jeep dealerships in Tucson, AZ and I opened a STAR case. The vehicle checked out normally through physical and computer diagnostics. The dealerships had a hard time re-creating the problem as one dealership would not drive it on the highway and the other dealership didn't have available driving situations to accurately recreate the problem. One service, advisor, however, stated he did notice the play that developed after the vehicle had been running. After spending extensive time and resources trying to get the problem identified, I have decided to pause my efforts to get it solved.
