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

Stellantis cases in Maine — Jeep death wobble, Pentastar, eTorque, Uconnect, and Ram powertrain defect patterns, with road-salt factors.

Stellantis (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) has strong Maine market share — Jeep Wrangler/Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 are popular for winter, trail, and work use. Cases are pursued under the Maine Lemon Law, the UTPA, and Magnuson-Moss.

Common Stellantis defect patterns

  • Jeep “death wobble” — Wrangler / Gladiator solid-front-axle steering oscillation — a serious steering failure.
  • 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 cold-weather charging/battery issues.

Maine Stellantis market

  • Jeep Wrangler / Grand Cherokee popular for winter and trail use.
  • Ram 1500 (half-ton covered; commercial 8,500 lbs+ used commercially falls outside).

Death wobble + the one-attempt rule

Jeep death wobble is a serious steering failure that can invoke Maine’s one-attempt rule — relevant given Maine’s rough rural roads and frost heaves. Road salt accelerates Wrangler frame and suspension corrosion. Steering-damper TSBs support UTPA damages.

Bottom line

Stellantis cases — Jeep death wobble, Pentastar, and Uconnect — fit Maine’s framework, with death wobble a one-attempt-rule candidate given the terrain. Use AG arbitration for speed. Get a free case review.
