Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While stopped at a light, my Jeep's airbag light came on and the warning ding sounded. The light would regularly switch off and on again, every time accompanied by the warning ding when the light turned back on. The light is pretty much always on now, and the warning ding only sounds when I start the vehicle. I had the airbag warning checked out at the local Jeep dealership and they have confirmed that the clock spring has failed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10747629, filed 2015-08, 56,000 miles“Dash cluster flickers, Jeep shuts off while driving, sometimes starts threw out stall on its own. Won't start all the time. Have an issue we're my battery cables are massively melted causing smoke.”
NHTSA complaint #11013800, filed 2017-08, 62,597 miles“I was traveling around 50-55 MPH on a straight road, when the Jeep started shaking violently and I almost lost control. I had to pull over and come to a stop. I was very shaken up. I did have it looked over to see if anything was wrong. Couldn't find anything (tires, tie-in rods, ball joints, and alignment). This was the first time it happened, it happened again. I found out they call this the Jeep death wobble. I checked to see if there was a recall, but didn't see one. I can't believe there isn't a recall on this with all the complaints I've read. Don't wait till someone gets killed.”
NHTSA complaint #11196011, filed 2019-04, 34,500 miles“When driving between 45 and 55 MPH the Jeep will begin to violently shake so bad it is hard to control the steering wheel, and the only remedy is to slow down or come to a complete stop. The violent shaking is intermittent, I am able to drive the same route with no problem, and other times the vehicle will go into a violent shake.”
NHTSA complaint #10979205, filed 2017-04, 80,011 miles“The problem is the totally integrated power module. The front windshield wipers activate on there own with no control. The gauge cluster shuts down and all the dash lights turn on. You loose ability to control turn signals and headlights. The radio turns off. The airbag light comes on. This may occour at any time.”
