Example complaints

“The door handles have completely disentegrated an the windows no longer operate. The seat belts work intermittently and the door locks unlock an lock at random. The engine starts an stops on it's own. This vehicle was my dream vehicle but now I feel totally endangered by the lack of care and design by Jeep. I feel it is a ticking time bomb ready to cause danger at some point to me or my family”
NHTSA complaint #11144285, filed 2018-10, 141,000 miles“Having front seat belt issues. They both don't lock properly. I have to hold down the red release button to lock them and now the computer does not reconize them as being locked and the seat belt warning light stays on and it chumes all the time and does not stop. Is there a recall for this because I see a lot of complaints for this issue. Is there an easy fix for this and can it be turned off. Any help would be greatly apprieciated.”
NHTSA complaint #10542215, filed 2013-09, 183,000 miles“To whom this may concern, I called back in late 2014 about a problem I was having, I was told that when the part was made I would receive a call to bring my car in to be fixed. Well it keeps on happening again in january and now more then three time in february. I am now going to be in contact with a lawyer and together we will be documenting everything. I am a family of five and my car is not safe. Your company is giving me the run around and it is your responsibility. …”
NHTSA complaint #10684195, filed 2015-02, 103,000 miles“My 2006 Jeep Commander driver side seat belt wont latch. I have to hold down the red release button to force it to engage. Seven days later the passenger seat belt wouldn't latch. This time even if I force the latch to engage by holding down the red release tab, it does not turn off the seat belt warning alarm. This most certainly is a recall item and so many of us are having the same problem at the same time. I am going to report also to daimler/chrysler.”
NHTSA complaint #10546580, filed 2013-10, 89,485 miles“My 2006 Jeep Commander (4.7 liter) constantly stalls and hesitates and the dealer keeps telling me they can't find anything wrong but there are hundreds of complaints online about the same thing and I want to know why this has not been recalled. Also the third row seat belts seem to have a problem.”
