NHTSA complaint #11240234, filed 2019-07, 70,000 miles“My engine light went on and the diagnostic report came back as the oil sensor being the problem. My Jeep only has 39000 miles on it and they want $600 to repair it. I see that there are many complaints of this issue online and I feel that this should be considered as a recall.”

NHTSA complaint #10593228, filed 2014-05, 3,807 miles“I was driving on I-65 on a slightly rainy day.

I slowed and pulled off the road thinking I may have a tire going flat. Upon checking the tires I found no problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10863539, filed 2016-05, 24,000 miles“The passenger side of the front sway bar came out of the electronic sway bar disconnect housing which disconnected the sway bar unknowingly and unintentionally, causing an extremely unstable driving condition. There was no indication of the occurrence as far as warning lights on the dash. The only way it was discovered was because I assumed the springs or shocks were worn out to cause the condition. While replacing the front shocks, I noticed the sway bar was pulled out of the housing. We had numerous close calls on the freeway with near roll overs due to this condition. …”
