NHTSA complaint #10659177, filed 2014-11, 108,000 miles“Jeep leaks during any rain storm. Area between the door and frame of Jeep that is normally protected by weatherstripping does not control leaks. I have had the weatherstripping replaced and the leaks still continue. A good rain storm will leave 2 inches of water in my floorboards. Carpet is beginning to rot and mold will have to be removed.”
NHTSA complaint #10498523, filed 2013-02, 58,000 miles“My Jeep Wrangler 2007 shakes so violently that I can no longer drive it. I am afraid that I may kill someone or my self or my kid. It is the scariest thing ever. At three (3) different occasions I almost crash. I heard so many Jeep owners have the same problem, so why chrysler are not doing something about this serious problem? They tried to tell me its front end or a tire issue. I have changed my steering damper, my stabilizer bar and bushings. Had it aligned and bought new tires and balance. Problem still exist. The vehicle has been towed back to the dealer as of this morning. …”
