Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dt: yesterday the air bag light came on I and the horn stopped working. I was not under recall, dealer going to charge consumer for repairs. Last week the same thing happened with dodge caravan. They were both chrysler products ,and the dodge had a recall. However the Jeep did not.”
NHTSA complaint #10126261, filed 2005-06, 54,000 miles“Instrument cluster will intermittently go out, leaving no speedometer, odometer, or RPM gage. This can go out for several miles, or just blink on and off. It has been doing this for a couple of years, and have already attempted to have it fixed once by a dealership and several times with my son working on it. So far nothing has corrected the problem. Dealership knew what the problem was when first brought to them about 2 1/2 years ago but could not fix the problem. Being on the community emergency response teams, I need a reliable vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10199968, filed 2007-08, 70,543 miles“I have had this problem 3 times with my vehicle now. The vehicle was having heater problems on highest and second highest speeds. Took the Jeep to the dealership and paid deductable on the service contract in october 2002. Dealer replaced the under dash harness, blower motor and the blower motor resistor. I continued to have problems and took it to my personal mechanic that discovered that the heater control module had failled as well. He replaced the heater control module and Jeep worked fine for 1 year. …”
NHTSA complaint #10112585, filed 2005-03, 122,000 miles“While driving down the road, speed doesn't matter bc it has happened at multiple speeds, the speedometer and tachometer will drop to nothing, while the other gauges like gas, oil pressure, temperature and such do not have any issues and remain where they should be! A few seconds after the speedometer and tachometer drop, the engine light comes on and the odometer will read 'no bus', a few seconds to a minute later the gauges will resume and the engine light and 'no bus' disappear! …”
NHTSA complaint #11348742, filed 2020-08, 171,150 miles“Mode selector for the HVAC system has a major issue melting the selector, harness and control module. After researching this incident online and to my surprise there is no recall on this subject. Heater not working, possible heater system catching on fire do hi voltage to the mode selector witch causes entire HVAC failure and possible fire. Jeep has known about this for a while but no one seems to be getting on them about it. Again 2000 Jeep Wrangler heater control failure.”
