Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was going approx. 40 MPH when I ran over a small bump in the road and the entire truck began to shake uncontrollably and I almost lost control. I applied the brakes and only when I slowed to approx. 10 MPH it ceased. I have had it in the garage since feb. 3, 2014 and have spent well over $3000 and it still isn't fixed. I have had the entire front end rebuilt and have replaced all the bushings in the rear end. I will never ever buy a Jeep again. I think it would be nice of them to reimburse some of the money I have spent over the last 3+ months. …”
NHTSA complaint #10593463, filed 2014-05, 163,000 miles“Axle/shocks were replaced, and the vehicle was serviced three times for making a loud piercing noise from the front/ underbred, and swaying. Vehicle still performs the same.”
NHTSA complaint #10103726, filed 2004-12, 2,900 miles“I just called to set up an appt for recall f23 - lover ball joint safety recall. I was told this recall is on a national hold because no one currently is making or has these parts avail. All they can do is take your name and telephone # and call you when they start getting parts in. The dealership could not give any info as to when parts will be avail. I find this a little disconcerting considering it is a safety issue regarding the steering. Also with redoing the ball joints shouldn't the car also be re-aligned? …”
NHTSA complaint #10173459, filed 2006-11“I have been unable to schedule the required service on the ball joint recall for my Jeep. Since 12/18/06 van dyn hoven tells me that thet do not have any parts available (they have used them all) and that they will call me when more come in. I tried again on 02/19/07 and the service person said that I was on the list but they still did not have any parts. Also your form does not list the Jeep liberty so I had to enter Laredo to finish form and submit - that doesn't make sense since the recall was for liberty's. Why can't I get my Jeep fixed???”
NHTSA complaint #10185877, filed 2007-03“Death wobble Jeep begins to shake when you hit a bump or at about 40 MPH, does not go away until you slow down to about 20 MPH or sometimes swerving will help it stop. We have replaced front tires, balanced them. Had an alignment, replaced tie rod and steering arm and also track bar and the death wobble is still there. Search all over the internet and seems to be a very common problem with this year, make a model but no one can really narrow it down to one issue. …”
