Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My Jeep caught fire while driving on highway due to a ruptured fuel line spewing fuel onto the nearby passenger side exhaust manifold. When I exited the vehicle, a fluid was on fire dripping down from below the fuel tank. After a few minutes, the fire got to the engine bay and melted all things plastic. I went to the salvage yard the next day to see what could have caused the fire and noticed that the fuel lines were gone. …”
NHTSA complaint #11084573, filed 2018-04, 44,000 miles“Twice, end of may 2019 and february of 2020 I had scheduled oil changes done at same dealer. By the end of those days, Jeep would not run, check engine light blinking and would barely start, not run. Both times towed back to dealership, both times under warranty. First time I was told a broken valve spring and valve cover had leaked oil into ignition system. Valve spring/cover work covered, tune up and redoing ignition system not...? Was told to contact manufacturer, they told me to contact dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #11311674, filed 2020-02, 77,000 miles“While driving, the vehicle loses propulsion; the rpms go to zero for about 3 seconds and then return to normal and acceleration is regained. No check engine light or code is given. This occurred randomly for the last year. In june of 2020 I took it to Jeep dealer who was not able to replicate the problem and said that no code was given. Then in december of 2020 the issue became worse to where the vehicle would completely shut down and not regain power unless restarted. On one occasion it would not restart, leaving me stranded. …”
NHTSA complaint #11388700, filed 2021-01, 66,630 miles“Immediately after completing work from the air bag recall my vehicle began to accelerate on its own. I would hold a steady throttle and it would all of a sudden speed up. It would last for a few to several seconds and slow down to a point less than the steady throttle. When I would use cruise control the vehicle would vary in speed by five to seven miles per hour. This was definitely a change from the way it operated prior to the recall. I used injector cleaner through several tanks, but the problem persisted. …”
NHTSA complaint #11324468, filed 2020-05, 65,887 miles“I own a 2015 Jeep Wrangler unlimited 4 door 4x4 automatic transmission. Intermittent loss of power and traction control light comes on.. . I wrote up a report a couple of weeks ago--but I understand the issue better now...so, my Jeep basically conks out--often at highway speeds...and re-starts in about 1 second...at least it feels like it conks out--all of the dash lights come on as they do when I first start the Jeep...but the traction control light stays on--does not blink and it has remained on since then...also the cruise control will not turn on...I have checked the fuses...and I have…”
