“Jeep is still loosing control when you go over any uneven pavement on highway going over 60mph after I did the recall almost killed my self, brakes brake extremly hard and dont stop without jerking you forward”
NHTSA complaint #11276918, filed 2019-10, 6,200 miles“My power steering has completely locked up multiple times while driving on freeways, highways, and residential streets. This issue has occurred in all types of weather, including rainy days and dry days, so that doesn't seem to have any sort of impact on the issue. When the power steering locks up the vehicle throws around 50 codes, which the dealership has reset more than once. Each time the steering locks up I have to slam on my breaks and turn my car on and off multiple times until the steering starts working again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11291830, filed 2019-12, 5,963 miles“Driving 45mph on highway, Jeep lost power steering, warning lights flashed brakes applied automatically. Shifter service and transmission problem. Car was restarted after struggling to get to side of highway. Restarted Jeep and power steering came back temporarily but it happened about 7 miles down road this time the shifter locked up after restart.”
NHTSA complaint #11282688, filed 2019-11, 12,170 miles“Calibers keep locking up making the brake system go bad. I had my calibers replace, which is weird because they almost never go bad. My jeep has only 60k miles on it. Now I'm back at the dealership getting them replace 200 miles later. This needs to be inspected.”
NHTSA complaint #11661663, filed 2025-05“ABS module has failed, according to dealership. The car has been in the service department at the dealership four times now in the past month. All of the warning lights go on, the car drives sluggishly, and I am told the car is undrivable due to the potential loss of brakes. Apparently there is a huge backorder of this part, but I purchased a max care extended service warranty and I feel that the dealership needs to make good on this. It's becoming a breech of contract.”
