“Test drove a 2020 Jeep sahara on 8/7/2020 and drove good. Bought a white one but was not ready so it was going to get delivered the next day at my house. White 2020 Jeep sahara was delivered on 8/8/2020 at around 12:00 pm. Salesman showed all features and left. I did a test drive around 5:00pm, wen on the highway and steering was really off, did a turn around to come back home. At 55 pmh I tried to change lanes and I I lost control and ended up in a ditch. Steeting was very loose going left to right and right to left. …”
NHTSA complaint #11343998, filed 2020-08, 40 miles“Driver side dashboard experienced an instrument cluster failure causing the center dashboard information to go completely blank so that the mileage, amount of gas, speed, warning lights, etc. are all no longer visible. There appears to have been a recall for a similar issue for Jeep Wrangler years 2018-2024 but I have been told my VIN is not part of that recall even though it appears to be the same cluster failure issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11702741, filed 2025-12“Digital display that shows speed and fuel level stops working and goes black while driving. Happened in 2024 and the display was replaced at my cost. New display experienced the same blackout in January 2025. Manufacturer is unable to deliver a new replacement display to their dealership to fix the vehicle. It has been almost 5 months without any resolution in sight. Other owners who have used my carwash have mentioned similar experience”
NHTSA complaint #11663760, filed 2025-05“Driving on the interstate with cruise control set at 79 mph (dash has digital indicator of cruise control speed, as well) and the vehicle kept accelerating upwards of 90 mph without touching the buttons or gas. Then speed would drop/deceleration would occur intermittently going down as much as 9 mph before I stopped cruise control. I had to pull the vehicle off the interstate, turn it off and back on to enable cruise control to safely function again.”
NHTSA complaint #11445292, filed 2021-12“In September of this year, I would get a random code thrown by the computer, usually telling me that the sway bar disconnected required service, but sometimes it was also the 4wd system. These codes would reset themselves within a few minutes, but I still took it to a dealership for a checkup. The dealership told me that since it currently was not throwing any codes there wasn't really anything they could do. The problem continued to worsen over the next few months. The codes thrown become more varied. I took the vehicle to the dealership two more times and again, no solution was found. …”
