Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Esc light came on while driving down the road. After that, the brakes started on their own and I couldn't steer. I was able to slowly drive to the dealership and they had to fix the clock spring. Even though this is a known recall and problem to the 2007-2010 jeeps, they didn't include the 2013 in the recall and it was over $600 out of my pocket to fix.”
NHTSA complaint #11141430, filed 2018-10, 41,180 miles“Sway bar disconnect connector has heavy corrosion. Was told my dealer common problem with the rubicon model (see attached image). This is the anniversary edition Jeep and was very expensive and I was told when I purchased it that all parts were excellent long last parts now this is a safety issue. Is there a recall on this or can one be issued. I have contacted mopar and they will have digital imagines.”
NHTSA complaint #11186114, filed 2019-03, 105,901 miles“My horn and buttons on the front and back of my steering wheel have been out for almost a year now because I need my clock spring changed. But courtesy of breaux bridge will not change it under the recall bc I am not the original owner and/or my air bag light is not on or I do not have enough warning signs per recall. Even though the recall is good for 1million miles. They would rather me pay $650. I even called chrysler.”
