Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There's a very loud squealing sound when backing up. It also happens when I release the emergency brake or even when I lift my foot off of the brake pedal. I took it in to the dealership to get it looked at and they could not find the problem. They heard the noise, inspected my brakes and everything but could not find the problem. Coincidentally, I was the second customer that day with the same exact problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10689737, filed 2015-02, 23,777 miles“This car needs to be investigated! Not safe. Multiple problems. I bought this car about a month ago. I was driving on highway with my 5 year old son when the car started shaking and clunking uncontrollably. I pulled over thinking I had a flat tire but did not. Went to mechanic, where they replaced faulty sway bar and also installed an exhaust spring bolt kit that was never installed to begin with. Get the car back to not only have the same issues again along with issues with transmission seeming to slip. …”
NHTSA complaint #11088379, filed 2018-04, 38,000 miles“Was driving with a total of 4 people in Jeep when it started to shake really bad at 40 miles MPH I thought I had a flat tire,when I looked tires were ok, when I started driving again it started to shake again, so I turned Jeep around and headed back home called for a tow to get Jeep to dealer. They just checked lugs on tires took on a test drive and said it was ok. They could not answer why it shook and told me to take it to where I bought Jeep from. I took Jeep to dealer on 12-6 2013 they said what do I think should be done to figure out why it shook. …”
NHTSA complaint #10555179, filed 2013-12, 9,100 miles“It has been 11 months since this recall. I contacted Jeep - there still isn't a fix. Air bags & seat belts that do not function properly are a major safety issue. My daughter is a new driver & I'm scared to let her drive. I bought this car for safety & it is not safe. I feel like there is something wrong with the suspension - it's now rattling under the front tire.”
