Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Mechanic inspected as part of potentially buying the vehicle. I had expressed concern over how it was driving. Ball joint is bad. I researched online and saw a lot of issues with this and was hoping that a safety recall was in place for it! (I did find a warranty extension for the subframe, and it is still good -- so it might be worth buying if safety issues are fixed.)”
NHTSA complaint #11290194, filed 2019-12, 147,000 miles“The subframe has corroded causing my tire to break while driving down a city street. There is a problem that chrysler is aware of but has not to informed the public only service. If I have been driving on the freeway this would of been a horrible accident and could of caused bodily harm.”
NHTSA complaint #11361147, filed 2020-09, 76,600 miles“My sister was driving my vehicle. She felt car wheels pulling to one side. Vehicle began to veer out of control where she tried to stablize. Picture taken after accident shows that bottom frame of vehicle became unattached from vehicle. The vehicle did not hit another vehicle or anything else solid. The vehicle was in motion on two way street where the vehicle was keeping straight with no turns.”
NHTSA complaint #11001978, filed 2017-06, 130,000 miles“Front crossmember is completely rotted out. Chrysler extended the warranty for this to 10 years to include inspections rather than recall to correct this problem. Since I bought this Jeep used I was not informed this could be a problem or that I was entitled to inspections to look for this problem. I originally thought this was a control arm issue but when the vehicle was put on the hoist, looking at it from below, the front crossmember has nearly completely rusted out. No other parts of the underside of the vehicle have experienced this extent corrosion damage. …”
NHTSA complaint #11372305, filed 2020-10, 93,500 miles“When braking, the Jeep seems to loose rear control features. The same often occurs when slowly accelerating. It has shifted from one side to the other at times when general straight road driving occurs. Speeds have never exceeded 30 MPH. Braking loss of rear control occurs at speeds never exceeding 5 miles an hour”
