Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“We have called Jeep to let them know what is going on with the vehicle. The computer to the transmission is putting in gears that are not correct. Sometimes u can let gas go and Jeep will be running 20 to 30 miles on its own. Also yesterday I put the Jeep on neutral and it went reverse real fast about 15 miles. The Jeep was level so no excuse why it should be going backwards on neutral. I have called Jeep and let them know and they tell me I have to take it to get fixed. I don't have the money to do this right now. …”

“First annoyance was the inside door handle on the drivers side. It failed to open the door at around 45,000 miles. Then the rear passenger inside door handle just crumbled out of nowhere around 47,000 miles. Then around 50,000 miles the brakes 'felt different' when braking and it felt to hard to press down on the pedal to stop the vehicle. The brake pedal felt hard as a rock then the ABS warning lights came on and after a diagnosis I was told that it had to be replaced. …”
