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

Stellantis cases in Idaho — Jeep death wobble, Pentastar, eTorque, Uconnect, and Ram powertrain defect patterns; the 12,000-lb cap.

Stellantis (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) has strong Idaho market share — Jeep Wrangler/Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 are staples in Idaho’s mountain, off-road, and rural use. Cases are pursued under the Idaho Motor Vehicle Warranties Act, the ICPA, 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.
  • 4xe plug-in hybrid charging/battery issues.

Idaho Stellantis market

  • Jeep Wrangler / Gladiator strong in Idaho’s backcountry off-road market.
  • Grand Cherokee family SUV segment.
  • Ram 1500 core truck volume; the 12,000-lb cap keeps more Ram pickups in scope.

Death wobble and the one-attempt rule

Jeep death wobble can rise to a complete steering failure triggering Idaho’s one-attempt rule — especially relevant given Idaho’s rough roads and strong off-road market. Lesser steering defects use the 4-attempt track. Steering-damper TSBs support ICPA damages.

Bottom line

Stellantis cases — Jeep death wobble, Pentastar, and Uconnect — fit Idaho’s framework, with death wobble a one-attempt-rule candidate given the terrain. Document within the warranty term. Get a free case review.
