Two keep Jeep models are getting recalled for randomly crashing, the NY Post reports.
Their rear coil springs are faulty. If you, as the owner of the car, don’t notice the defect and replace it, the spring can fall off, sending the car into an unexpected crash.

Apparently poor manufacturing on the maker’s part is to blame for the car calamity.
Over 100,000 regular Jeep Grand Cherokees are on the chopping block while over 200,000 souped-up Cherokees L models face recall as well.
This comes as bad news for Jeep as they’re facing consistently declining sales. Their sales dropped 25% in comparison to last year.
And the Ford Bronco, the direct competitor to 2022’s new line of Jeeps, have seen their sales rise by the same number, perhaps creating a death-knell for Jeep’s signature cars.
Oddly enough, other cars are being recalled too. They just don’t build them like they used to. Toyota faced a recall this month as well for their air bags potentially not deploying altogether. Those just numbered in the tens of thousands, however.
It seems to be a race to the bottom as cars, increasingly built overseas, compete to see who can be the least reliable. Maybe it’s time you get that classic car after all, it’ll hold up about the same when compared with these new ones.
