Stellantis (Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram) Cases Under Hawaii Lemon Law

Stellantis (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) has solid Hawaii market share — Jeep Wrangler is especially popular for island and beach use, alongside Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500. Cases are pursued under the Hawaii Lemon Law, the HRS § 480-13 UDAP, and Magnuson-Moss.

Common Stellantis defect patterns

• Jeep “death wobble” — Wrangler / Gladiator solid-front-axle steering oscillation — a serious steering safety defect.
• 3.6L Pentastar — rocker-arm / lifter failures, stalling.
• eTorque mild-hybrid electrical faults.
• 8-speed (ZF) / 9-speed (948TE) transmission issues.
• Uconnect infotainment crashes, reboots (heat-accelerated).
• 4xe plug-in hybrid charging/battery issues.

Hawaii Stellantis market

• Jeep Wrangler very popular for beach, trail, and island recreation.
• Grand Cherokee family SUV segment.
• Ram 1500 (half-ton within the 10,000-lb cap covered).

Death wobble + the one-attempt rule

Jeep death wobble is a serious steering safety defect that can invoke Hawaii’s one-attempt rule. Salt air also accelerates corrosion of Wrangler frames and suspension components — a real beach-use concern. Steering-damper TSBs support UDAP theories.

Bottom line

Stellantis cases — Jeep death wobble, Pentastar, Uconnect, and salt-air corrosion — fit Hawaii’s framework, with the popular beach-use Wrangler a frequent subject. Use SCAP for speed or court for UDAP treble. Get a free case review.
