NHTSA complaint #11326587, filed 2020-05, 150 miles“My Jeep shakes really badly. Has been going on for a long time but getting worse. I have to steer with a death grip on the wheel while it is happening. Have had Jeep realigned and tires replaced and balanced. Action is sparadic but is still doing it more often.”
NHTSA complaint #10871706, filed 2016-05, 145,000 miles“When this vehicle gets up to 60 it shakes very bad until I press the break. I have replaced all the front end suspension parts and it stopped for a few months and has now started again. This is very scary and I am worried about a possible crash.”
NHTSA complaint #10763023, filed 2015-09, 220,000 miles“Sudden stalling while driving or at idle. Applicable at all speeds from idle to freeway speeds. Sometimes the vehicle will restart and other times it will not restart right away. Sometimes it will restart if the vehicle sits for about 15 minutes and other times it has left me stranded for three hours or more. I have stalled in the middle of busy intersections and freeways. I have taken the vehicle in for repairs three times, have paid over $400 in repair bills to have parts replaced and the issue still occurs. …”
NHTSA complaint #10971674, filed 2017-04, 168,000 miles“My car has major problems and I can't afford to fix, then I find the problem that I have is due to the automaker's problem because the car is on recalls for the problems I am having. I received no notices on any recall, and when I got on the web-site to check for recalls there are as many as 10 major problems with my car and Jeep. Some could cause me to crash or even explode while driving. Where are my recall notices?”
