Example complaints
Electrical system: “Similar to recent GM problem, when driving, my knee touches the ignition switch, which then shuts down the engine. This has happened on multiple occasions and I have been able to safely steer the car to the roadside. I am concerned that, if this happens when my wife is driving, she would not have the strength to safely control the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10576304, filed 2014-04, 75,000 milesBody and structure: “All four interior door handles on my daughters Jeep cracked and her back handles are now inoperable. This is a dangerous safety issue! In case of emergency, my daughters passengers would be stuck inside the car causing injury or even death!!! Manufacturer charge to replace/repair is prohibitively expensive. $500 per door!!!! This is like a 1/3 of the value of the car at this point. Manufacturer safety recall is warranted!!!!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10875640, filed 2016-06, 150,000 milesTransmission and drivetrain: “I have a 2006 Jeep Laredo 3.6l with 54,000 miles on it. Since may of 2012 it has been nothing but a huge problem. I have contacted Jeep customer care and had a casenumber with them to get the issues resolved, needless to say they fixed half of the issues and then closed the case when the dealership that was working on it was unable to diagnose the other issues. The Jeep will lunge, jerk, and get stuck in 2nd gear at 1.5rphs until you press the gas really hard and it slips gears. …”
