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

Stellantis cases in West Virginia — Jeep death wobble, Pentastar, eTorque, Uconnect, and Ram powertrain defect patterns; the Class A coverage line.

Stellantis (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) has strong West Virginia market share — Jeep Wrangler/Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 are common in mountain, off-road, and rural use. Cases are pursued under the West Virginia Lemon Law, the WVCCPA, and Magnuson-Moss.

Common Stellantis defect patterns

  • Jeep “death wobble” — Wrangler / Gladiator solid-front-axle steering oscillation — a serious 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.

West Virginia Stellantis market

  • Jeep Wrangler / Gladiator strong in West Virginia’s hills and hollows for off-road recreation.
  • Grand Cherokee family SUV segment.
  • Ram 1500 core truck volume.

Death wobble + the one-attempt rule

Jeep death wobble is a serious steering safety defect — a prime one-attempt-rule candidate, and especially relevant given West Virginia’s rough mountain roads and strong off-road market. Steering-damper TSBs support WVCCPA damages.

Class A coverage line

Personal-use Class A Ram 1500s are covered; heavier 2500/3500 HD trucks used commercially route to Magnuson-Moss / WVCCPA. Some Stellantis lines don’t participate in a qualified third-party program — meaning no IDS step is required.

Bottom line

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