Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I noticed steering play with the vehicle during some points its difficult to keep it in a lane especially during highway travel. Then when I was under the vehicle installing a trailer hitch I started noticing pitted, incomplete, disconnected and (possibly rusty) welds on a vehicle that has a build date of only two months prior.”
NHTSA complaint #11258812, filed 2019-09, 400 miles“Poor weld quality on the frame that questions its safety. Nearly all welds on the frame are chipping and beginning to rust. I noticed this within the first 2 months of ownership. I live in a dry climate. Some welds have holes. The images I have provided are some samples. Nearly all welds look like the welds in the photos.”
NHTSA complaint #11259044, filed 2019-09, 1,000 miles“Jeep has less than 1,000 miles just left work about 10 minutes later driving on the freeway Jeep starting shaking vigorously I slowed down and started to pull over when I did it stopped so I began to drive again set an appointment at the dealer. I will not drive until it's inspected read articles and it sounds to be the 'Jeep death wobble' or steering damper. Very scary experience.”
NHTSA complaint #11288123, filed 2019-12, 1,000 miles“You can clearly see my welds are rusting, have pits in them, and their is excess slag visible on frame. I know this is an outstanding issue, but wanted to report my case as it appears to be what ive read about an investigation into this. Vehicle is only 5 months old off the dealers lot.”
NHTSA complaint #11282693, filed 2019-11, 3,000 miles“Lowered the windshield per the user manual for the first time on 4/3/21. 2 of the 4 bolts holding the windshield to the frame were present but not tightened. Unknown if they loosened while operating the vehicle, which has approximately 20,000 miles currently, or whether they were loose from the factory.”
