Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving down the highway, my heater stopped blowing hot air on the driver side vent and then 20 minutes later my heater core exploded coolant all through my passenger footwell, and steamed the entire interior of my Jeep. Leaving the windshield fogged over and me dangerously pulling off to the side of the highway. Is my understanding that this is a very common reoccurring manufactures defect.”
NHTSA complaint #11131955, filed 2018-09, 125,000 miles“Vehicle is consuming excessive oil. I check the dip stick every time I get gas to be sure it doesn't go dry. It started being very low at just 3,000 since last oil change and progressively got worse. The dipstick will now be below the safe line at 1,600 miles since last oil change. I have had the pcv value replaced and it didn't not fix the problem. I have been to several specialty Jeep machines who have said I will need a new engine.”
NHTSA complaint #11330673, filed 2020-06, 80,000 miles“Recently purchased a used 2010 Jeep Wrangler every time I fill the tank gas it spits out on auto shut off and is like a geyser when I remove the pump. Gas goes all over my hand and clothes. I note there are several other reports of this. This occurs every time I fill the tank. There were > 900 complaints regarding this in 2010-11. Why won't chrysler fix this problem?”

The shifter broke off. It looks like the welding job was not to standar. From my visual inspection of the welding I can see air pockets. Luckly I was not on a highway or else this could have turn ugly for me.”
