Example complaints

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

“While merging on to the highway the Jeep's esp suddenly engaged and cut engine power. The Jeep stalled and had to be maneuvered off the highway. This is happening with great regularity, usually while merging on an uphill on-ramp. The dealer looked at the Jeep and has not been able to fix the problem. Chrysler was contacted and said they could not help since the warranty was expired. This is a serious safety issue.”

NHTSA complaint #10637043, filed 2014-09, 80,500 miles

“My wife is driving the Jeep and it just cuts off in the middle of the road and this has been going on now for months... We received a recall notice last year and still waiting for the parts to come in.. It has been over six months and there seems to be know sense of urgency on the part of chrysler. Must someone get killed on the highway because the vehicle shuts off because of the electrical system and chrysler not having the particular parts... I am still paying for this vehicle...”
