Service Brakes · reported Jul 31, 2026
Vehicle was sold by Westgate Crysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Raleigh with missing caliper bolt in front passenger brake system. This was detected by an independent service center while getting brake pads and rotors replaced, as they were very worn and causing the brake system to be jumpy and catchy, despite Westgate assuring they were fine. The lack of the bolt in the caliper put my entire family's life at risk from the second we drove off the lot a little over a month ago.

Steering · reported Dec 30, 2025
Over 2 years ago I took my vehicle in for an oil change and asked them to drive it and see why it sometimes pulls the steering when going around a curve to the left. they drove it and said it never did pull. Since then, it now pulls to the right when going around curves to the right also. It is doing it more frequently and I am in fear that it will either cause me to go off the road or hit someone when it all of a sudden jerks, like it is catching on something in the tire or something. I wouldn't even let my grandson drive it when he got his learners permit. I have since then decided to look…
