Example complaints

“Since purchase this vehicle has had loose and unresponsive steering. It currently has 1600 miles and has been in the shop multiple times. I am told the steering gear needs to be replaced under a campaign however there is no decal as of yet. Jeep does not have the required parts in stock and I am being told it may be months until a repair is available for my vehicle. I also have a problem with the u connect system crashing which also controls most of the interior of the vehicle and renders most of those items like the HVAC inoperable until the system is reset. …”
NHTSA complaint #11375048, filed 2020-11, 250 miles“Went to go leave for work and my instrument cluster was completely blank. Was unable to see odometer, CELs, sensors, fuel levels, etc. The cluster never turned back on. I was finally able to get it into a dealer to confirm that the cluster and the gateway module were locked up. The mileage on the vehicle is just over 61,000.”
NHTSA complaint #11626747, filed 2024-11“The side mirror amber lights warning of a vehicle in the blind spot randomly illuminate and remain on for upwards of an hour or upon turning the vehicle off and back on. The dash randomly notifies me that the forward collision warning isn't available and both side mirror blind spot warning lights illuminate for upwards of an hour or until I turn off and restart the vehicle. The Dash randomly goes blank and doesn't display any information such as speed, RPM, warnings etc.”
NHTSA complaint #11723437, filed 2026-03“I was driving, accelerating into heavy traffic, and just about to go under an overpass (sunny day), when the Forward Collision System activated and hard-braked me to a stop, nearly causing an accident with the vehicle behind me. Although there was a car in front of me, it was not close and there was no danger of a collision (it was accelerating). Worse, no warnings came from the system until it started braking. This has happened several times, always in heavy traffic, and always on a underpass or lower bridge deck. …”
NHTSA complaint #11420182, filed 2021-06“The back up camera freezes and the radio freezes. It won’t turn off until you turn the jeep off and start it up again. The camera will stay frozen with a blue screen I have tons of documented videos but unfortunately this program won’t allow uploads of videos.”
