Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There is an “thumping” noise in my dash of my vehicle, as well as a rocking sensation after coming to a stop. I took it to the dealership where they replicated it and determined it to be motor mounts that had failed. It is available if it needs to be inspected by a jeep field inspector. As those motor mounts get worse it could cause major safety issues for motorists I am around at the time of failure and myself alike. No warning lights have came on stating there is an issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11709497, filed 2026-01“We noticed the battery indicator light was lit, so we changed the battery. That addressed the light, but soon it lit up again, followed by an overheated engine warning so we stopped and called for a tow to Puente Hills Jeep. We were informed it was a pulley so it was replaced along with the serpentine belt. Soon after receiving the vehicle, it started smoking, and it appeared it was catching fire so we had it towed to the dealer for the second time in one week. We've been informed it's the air conditioner compressor and it will be replaced. …”

The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with a misfire in cylinder #5; and two cam shafts were replaced. The contact stated that the metal cam shafts were worn. The dealer expressed that the metal used in manufacturing the cam shafts was too soft. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. …”

NHTSA complaint #11731213, filed 2026-04, 73,945 miles“There was a previous recall for camera system that was fixed using a OTA over the air update per JEEP. This update introduced new problems It disabled the forward collision detection and disabled paddle shifting and other safety features which should also be issued as a RECALL because the dealer is not reputable to this on their own. The fix that they did requires customer to come in and have more work done at their expense and they pretend they didn't cause it but clearly this is a major problem across their whole line of Cars.”
