Example complaints

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

“The part is front and wheel hub bearings. Took my car in for repairs and they found that the front and rear hub bearings are deteriorated but no other part was. Was advised to take it to a Jeep dealership. I took it imperial Jeep in mendon, ma and they check it and could not explain why these parts are deteriorated. Said they had never seen this before. Contacted Jeep customer service and they offered to pay 50% but was not told that the offer was only valid for 30 days so when I called back which was past the 30 days, I was informed they would not honor the original offer. …”

NHTSA complaint #10561066, filed 2014-01, 87,000 miles

“My 2008 Jeep compass began making a loud noise a few months ago. I recently brought it in and had the control arms replaced, ball joints, rear brakes and had an alignment. After I left the car began shaking on the highway and while braking, I brought it back and was told that I now needed tie rods, which should have been noticed when they did the alignment. The Jeep has less then 55,000 and I only drive it 20 minutes to and from work. Jeep refuses to help me because I am not the original owner, which I did not find out until recently..the car was sold to me as a demo car, not a used car. …”
