“Tires have been getting un even wear. Took vehicle to certified shop, they inform me my suspension is gone. I took my vehicle to dealership, where I was told it cant be bad. I have only done highway driving with this vehicle, I don't see how it went out so soon. I read online and a lot of other people have the same complaint.”

“I was traveling on montrose parkway in rockville, md. I was traveling at about 45mph. I approached a slight bend to the left that had a slight decline. I lost control on debris that was left over from an accident earlier that morning. I struck and went over the curb with the right side of my vehicle. I went head on into a steel light post incased in a concert footer. The vehicle sustained very extensive damage to the front end. The airbags did not deploy during the collision. …”

“The vehicle experiences an issue in one of the areas noted, usually when accelerating through a gradual turn to the left such as on an on ramp. The drive train has been inspected by both independent mechanics as well as Jeep's authorized service center in yonker's, ny with reports of no physical damage. The Jeep service center has stated that while they too have experienced the malfunction, they are incapable of diagnosing the problem, suggesting it be driven by the owner until it worsens .”

NHTSA complaint #11076103, filed 2018-03, 97,850 miles

“Tire pressure monitoring system - valve stems corroded badly - appear to be made of poor quality aluminum - eventually broke off when attempting to add air pressure. Could have easily broken off when driving just due to vibration and caused a sudden loss of air pressure resulting in loss of control of vehicle. Have replace three units so far at a cost of over $300. Have kept old parts and invoices and pictures of badly corroded units. Please recall before someone gets hurt. Jeep has replaced units with brass units now!!! They should pay for their mistakes. Parts made by schrader electronics.”
