 Chrysler Group LLC recalled over 248,000 SUV wagons and minivans due to a fault that may perhaps allow the key to slip while driving, causing the engine to shut down without warning. Chrysler, which is administered by Italy’s Fiat SpA, said it was aware of two rear-end collisions that may possibly have stemmed from this problem, in keeping with a notice posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website on Thursday. The concerned models are the Dodge Journey SUV in addition to the Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. The vehicles of model year 2010 were manufactured [...]
 With an overabundance of new and updated models to advertise, Chrysler has apparently upped its marketing budget to $2.9 billion for 2011, up from $1.72 billion in 2010. The automaker summarized the charges in documents given to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Image Source : http://bit.ly/gx5j81 The rise should suggest that you’ll hear more from Chrysler in 2011, after a couple years of hushed while they climbed out of economic failure and joined hands with Fiat at the end of 2009. A reasonable share of the marketing budget will go not to selling cars, but courting investors before its new initial [...]
 Federal supervisors have sealed an investigation into above 220,000 Jeep 2007-2008 Wrangler vehicles over concerns raised that they are a high possibility of spilling fuel. Chrysler Group LLC has decided to set off a lifetime warranty program to deal with the accidental fuel spillage issue in 135,000 2007-2008 Jeep Wrangler vehicles that where built from March 2007-March 2008. All the dealers will look over and repair the inlet check valve if required. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rejected a recall, suggested the “artificially high” number of complaints could have been the cause of “internet-linked publicity.” The organization closed [...]
Some time ago, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 laid state to being the fastest SUV on planet earth, offering 0-60 times of less than five seconds and a top speed in excess of 155 mph. Since then, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5 M and X6 M have stolen the title away. Jeep doesn’t rely on being pleased with that situation, though, and as per the sources within the company have confirmed that a new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is in the works and could be on sale by the first half of next year. There isn’t any [...]
 According to Consumer Reports, Chrysler has to concentrate on a handling issue with the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee that the publication learnt about during independent testing. During a double-lane-change emergency maneuver, CR testers made a note of a substantial amount of skidding and hopping at the very limit of grip. Later on the Chrysler engineers went to the magazine’s test track to assess the findings before returning to Auburn Hills to come up with an explanation. In December, the automaker announced a software update for the vehicle’s stability control, plus all Grand Cherokee models produced and assembled since then have [...]

 A number of people may disagree that the Dodge Nitro was all set for any replacement, on that subject after it was first released back in 2006. If that’s the topic, then Dodge’s midsize sport utility vehicle is undoubtedly well past its sell-by date at the moment that our calendars inform as we’re in 2011. It appears that not a soul is acquainted with the truth better than Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne, who told the reporters at the Detroit Auto Show that the Nitro and its platform companion, the Jeep Liberty, are “the most significant hole in our product portfolio.” [...]
 Even though Jeep’s all-new Grand Cherokee is still brand new on the market, the well-received unibody SUV will shortly be joined by a renowned nameplate in 2013. Despite the fact that Jeep may possibly must have not had a motor vehicle – not even a thought – to show off to hint at exactly what we can look forward to, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne did still manage to confirm the progress of a Grand Wagoneer for the Jeep lineup, saying, “It’s time we gave the market an upper-scale Grand Wagoneer.” The come back of the Wagoneer would mark the reappearance [...]
 Even though the substitute for the Jeep Compass and Patriot will come from a front-wheel-drive Fiat car platform, Jeep CEO Mike Manley wants to be extremely clear about its Jeep bona fides and off-road capability. “Although the technology and the platform is Fiat, it will be 100 percent Jeep. The vehicle will be developed by “pure Jeep engineers. That’s why product stays here in the U.S,” as stated by Jeep CEO Mike Manley. In about 18 months, the all new Jeep will take the place of both the Compass and Patriot compact crossovers, which share common platform, engine and alternative [...]
 It seems like Jeep is having a real busy 2010. First the Grand Cherokee was redesigned, the upgrade of a new interior for Wrangler and now this. The Patriot 2011 is the so-called affordable compact sport utility vehicle (SUV). The brand’s entry level trail rated vehicle is receiving some enhancements of its own for the new model year that touch nearly each characteristic of the vehicle. On the exterior, the most predictable change is a reworked front fascia; fog lamps included with the headlamps, a body-color grille, new exterior colors, as well as newly styled 17-inch alloy wheels among other [...]
