NHTSA complaint #11174627, filed 2019-02, 59,100 miles“I have read many other people on here with the same issue and my mechanic said my model Jeep was known for this, but after hitting a curb my wheel and suspension parts holding it on let the front right tire, rim and all fall completely off. After getting it to the mechanic and having him putting it on the lift he told me I couldn't drive the car even after the front right was fixed b/c the car was a danger to myself and others. …”
NHTSA complaint #10513010, filed 2013-05, 70,000 miles“Entire subframe and crossmember rusted beyond repair, needs complete replacement. I noticed an odd clinking sound when driving over even the smallest of bumps, or when turning. I took it in to have the brakes checked and when the mechanic lifted it, I was told the entire underside was covered in rust! I heard of the crossmember extended warranty so I took it to mac haik Jeep for a diagnosis, they told me 3 - 5k to replace all parts, that only the crossmember would be covered under the warranty. They advised me to buy a new car.”
NHTSA complaint #11000625, filed 2017-06, 89,723 miles“We bought the Jeep used with about 50k miles on it. After a short time the check engine light came on for a valve to be replaced. Also, when we use the turn signal the dome lights come on. Of course even though we bought the warranty none of these problems are covered. I don't know how the lighting system failing could possible be wear or tear or misuse, but they say its not their fault and it's not covered. So in the 3 day period where we were waiting to have those problems fixed we had another problem. …”
