2018 Jeep Compass

The 2018 Jeep Compass is a compact SUV that slots between the subcompact Jeep Renegade and the larger Jeep Cherokee in the Jeep lineup. It offers a balance of off-road capability and on-road comfort, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of drivers. Here's an overview of the 2018 Jeep Compass:

Engine Options: The 2018 Compass offered a single engine option:

A 2.4-liter inline-4 engine producing 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with a 6-speed manual transmission on the base Sport trim or a 6-speed automatic transmission on other trim levels.

Trim Levels: The Compass was available in several trim levels, including the Sport, Latitude, Trailhawk, and Limited. Each trim level offered different features and capabilities.

Four-Wheel Drive: While front-wheel drive (FWD) was standard on lower trims, most Compass models came with Jeep's four-wheel-drive (4WD) system, which offered various 4x4 modes for different driving conditions. The Trailhawk trim was the most off-road-capable and came with advanced 4WD features.

Off-Road Capability: The Trailhawk trim was specifically designed for off-road adventures and included features like increased ground clearance, skid plates, and an enhanced 4x4 system. It was Trail Rated by Jeep, signifying its off-road capabilities.

Interior: The Compass offered a comfortable and practical interior design with a good amount of cargo space for its class. Higher trim levels included features like a touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and leather upholstery.

Infotainment and Technology: The vehicle came with a 5-inch or an available 7-inch or 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system (depending on the trim level), which included features like smartphone integration, navigation, and satellite radio.

Safety: Standard safety features included airbags, stability control, and a rearview camera. Advanced safety features such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert were available on higher trims.

Fuel Efficiency: The Compass generally achieved competitive fuel economy ratings in its class, with estimates typically ranging from 22 to 25 miles per gallon (MPG) in the city and 30 to 32 MPG on the highway, depending on the configuration and driving conditions.

Compact Size: The Compass's compact size made it easy to maneuver in urban environments and provided a practical option for city driving.

Price: The 2018 Jeep Compass typically offered good value for a compact SUV, with a range of available trims and options to suit various budgets.

The 2018 Jeep Compass appealed to buyers looking for a compact SUV that combined everyday practicality with off-road capabilities. Its versatile lineup allowed buyers to choose a model that best suited their needs, whether for city commuting or off-road adventures. As with any used vehicle purchase, it's important to review the maintenance history and have the vehicle inspected to ensure it's in good condition.

To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing this letter to voice our frustrations
To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing this letter to voice our frustrations with the Jeep brand, and express our concerns for other owners of the 2013-present day Jeep Cherokee. In July of 2017, my now fiancé purchased a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4x4 from Ramsey Motors in Riverside, MO. The vehicle at the time had roughly 24, ** miles, it was a one owner vehicle originally purchased new from Gladstone DCJ & R in 2015.On approximately June 18th-19th, the car would not start for my fiancé to make her commute to work. She found a ride, and I had MOPAR roadside assistance tow the vehicle to Stateline CDJ&R of Kansas City for diagnosis. On June 21th, a representative of Stateline called to tell me a PRNDL switch was the root of our issue and quoted me to replace. I protested, believing the issue to be caused by a failing alternator, however being ”highly qualified technicians” I agreed, and Stateline followed through with the service. We picked the car up from Stateline on 6/29/18.The morning on 6/30/18 (yes the next day!) the car failed to start at a gas station in Pittsburg, KS, I instructed my fiancé to take the vehicle to Jay Hatfield DCJ&R in Frontenac, KS. A diagnosis by the service tech that day suggested… a failing alternator! Jay Hatfield apologized for the Stateline’s mistake, quoted me to repair, and promised the car returned to us by the end of the following week.The next few days were spent communicating with and agreeing to a 50% refund of our service fees done by Stateline, we picked the vehicle back up from Jay Hatfield on 7/6/18, I replaced the battery as a precaution the next day. 19 days, 2 dealerships, over $1,500.00 out of pocket, we finally had our vehicle back and felt comfortable with it again. How wrong was I!In early September, the vehicle failed to start on several occasions. Being that Jay Hatfield last had their hands on it, and frankly I found them to be honest and straightforward gentlemen, we made the 100 mile trip back to Jay Hatfield with the vehicle for a 2nd diagnosis. Jay Hatfield kept the vehicle for about 4 days, repeatedly stated to me the vehicle started each time they tried, and returned it to me. I felt like the boy who cried wolf! Are these service departs downright over and done with me? We’re not crazy, the vehicle is malfunctioning, we don’t drive 100 miles for a service appointment for fun & games.We made it through the next 30 days or so without an issue, until the morning of 10/10/18. While leaving a doctor’s appointment and going to work, the car died on my fiancé in traffic. A complete loss of power to the vehicle, no dash lights, no acceleration, nothing. The vehicle was pushed out of traffic, eventually regained power on its own, and driven home where now it sits dead in the driveway. Emergency lights are nice to have when a vehicle is stalled in traffic, my fiancé was not afforded this luxury!This is the final straw, it is clear as day that Chrysler/Jeep builds an inferior product, and maintains inferior means of training technicians to diagnose the very vehicles they sell to the public. The vehicle is nothing more than a $32,000 lawn ornament. Bringing me to the purpose of this letter, as stated above, we are collectively through with CDJ&R vehicles we want nothing to do with this Jeep Cherokee. I am writing with hope that somebody of purpose takes notice, and chooses to take the extra steps to address a customer’s complaint even when their technician is stumped. It is clear there is a deep electrical issue with these vehicles that needs to be investigated. A stalling vehicle in traffic, and subsequently pushing it out of traffic in the rain is a terrifying, extremely unsafe, and completely avoidable situation. I urge you all to take this into consideration when the inevitable “next one” arrives on your doorstep, hopefully that situation turns out better for the customer. If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this topic further, I can be reached via email or on my cell @ **. Thank you for your time.

I would like to inform you about problems with my 2010 jeep. It only has 40000 mi. on it. First of all, I purchased the extended warranty with $100 deductible. Nov. 2012 was the first prob. - a recall for a guard that could collect debris and catch fire. Chrysler fixed that prob. - I applaud them for that. The next prob. was when driving down the road, the dash lights and ABS ESP skid control lights came on also lost cruise control. The extended warranty fixed that with $100 deductible. That was fine. In March 2013, it was the same thing - dash lights acted up the same as it did in November but they say it is not the same thing. This time, they say it is corded wires that could cause fire. Okay, this may be true although how it is not related to the module that caused the same lights to light up and have same exact affect as before, I do not understand. This cost me another $100. We have been with Chrysler products since 1969 but yet to buy one without problems. I am getting fed up! I guess the joke is on me for staying loyal and true so long with Chrysler. My wife worked for Chrysler for 33 yrs and Chrysler provided us with a living so I felt it only fair to buy their products. Its not so much now that we are on a fixed income. Whatever the problems which I dont understand - same light, same exact problem but they say it is not the same. If more problems happen, I will just paint lemon on the jeep and drive it around like that. Anyone that stops and asks questions, I will explain the service that I got. Thanks for listening.

My experience with buying and owning a Jeep Patriot. I bought a Jeep Patrio
My experience with buying and owning a Jeep Patriot. I bought a Jeep Patriot Sport with a manual transmission in 2011. Bought it new (zero miles). I now have only 33000 miles on the vehicle. It has never been off-road and has never pulled or towed anything. Recently, I noticed a noise coming from the powertrain. Took it to a mechanic who advised me that I probably needed a clutch replacement (clutch, throw-out bearing and pressure plate). I contacted Chrysler/Jeep about the situation and asked if they would cover the repairs on the powertrain. Their response was as in this e-mail response: Thank you for contacting the Jeep Customer Assistance Center. It is understandable that you would like to know if you have warranty coverage prior to getting your vehicle repaired at an independent repair facility. As per your warranty booklet, manual transmission clutch parts are not covered at any time and the pressure plate throw out bearing was only covered for 1 year and 12000 miles so there would be no factory warranty coverage for these repairs. I also want to let you know that the Powertrain warranty expired on September 30, 2016. While looking into this matter for you, I also see that you have 1 incomplete recall. The S61- OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER recall does not yet have parts available but the parts are expected to become available in June. Once the parts become available you can get that repair completed by scheduling an appointment at your local dealership. I would like to add you to the special tracking so that you receive an email when those parts become available. You also have an extended warranty for your (X69) FRONT/REAR CROSSMEMBERS. You are able to have a free annual inspection for the Cross Members and if they are deemed to be corroded any time prior to September 30, 2021, they will be replaced free of charge as well. Thank you again for your email. Should you require additional assistance, or have any new information to provide, please reply to this email message or call 1-877-I-AM-JEEP (1-877-426-5337).In 2011, when I purchased this vehicle (new) I had every expectation that it would last a long time. I have kept up on the maintenance and, as evidenced by the low mileage, I have driven it reasonably. I certainly did not expect that there would be two safety recalls, (one of which they cannot correct because they dont have the parts to resolve the issue). I certainly did not expect that there would be a potentially serious issue with corrosion of FRONT/REAR CROSSMEMBERS, to the extent that Jeep extended the warranty on these parts only. And I certainly did not expect that the powertrain would go out on me so soon, at only 33000 miles.In retrospect, upon examining the warranty information more closely, it seems that there must be a reason Chrysler/Jeep offers such an inadequate warranty on their product. Could it be that they know they are selling an inferior product that would probably fail in a relatively short time? One can only guess. I must conclude, from my experience, that Chrysler/Jeep has produced and sold an inferior product (as described above) and that further, they appear to be unwilling to back up their product with an adequate warranty plan. It is my intention to NEVER purchase another of their products. Furthermore, I cannot, in good conscience (based upon this experience) recommend that anyone else purchase any of their products. Since it is evident that Chrysler/Jeep is not going to do anything to resolve the situation, I guess that I am left without recourse. Lesson learned. Dont buy a Jeep. Caveat emptor.

DO NOT BUY JEEP! Please look into other credible vehicle brands. Please believe ALL the reviews about their terrible service! First of all, let me first say initially my car is fairly new. It is still under warranty, and it started stalling. Well I find out via mail it’s a recall on the electric system that starts the issue ok... Well my car isn’t driving properly. Can you all pick it up? Well let us get back with you.. Yes we can. My car gets to the dealership. They won’t service my car unless I sign some paperwork. Understandable. Can you do e-docusign? No. Can you pick me up? No. Can you bring the papers to my home? No. I had to hire an Uber to jeep and back $40. When will my car be fixed? We don’t know. Dealership calls back.. Can’t fix your car ma’am. We are backed up 4 days. Can you provide a loaner car? No. Why? Corporate says it must be a service that requires at least 48 hours. Your service only takes 20 minutes. I spent almost a wk getting a Uber back and forth to work $100. A week after my car is fixed, car stalls out again on a major highway. I’m almost killed! At this point I’m ANGRY. Same thing. No loaner car, I can’t get to the dealership to sign off, I spent OVER $200 on appointment cancellations, Uber rides, and food delivery services! No rentals are available in my area. We gave you a case manager. She’s not available until Monday morning. You will have to wait... Guess who will be doing Uber again on Monday morning?? DO NOT buy Jeep. The customer service is terrible. I get better service buying a $3 chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A than I have buying a 32,000 vehicle!! I’m filing a suit, giving bad reviews until the day I die! I’m that angry over these selfish, greedy, unreliable, jerks!

I have a 2015 Jeep SRT bought in the dealer Flagship in Bayamon, Puerto Ric
I have a 2015 Jeep SRT bought in the dealer Flagship in Bayamon, Puerto Rico in April 2015. The Brembo calipers clear coat started to peel off around 9,500 miles and one year from purchase. I went to the dealer and after waiting several weeks for a response with no success, I had to contact them and they informed me this is an aesthetic issue that warranty would not cover! I tried to appeal that response but have never been able to get above the dealer level. I have tried every means possible, avoiding to go to the Puerto Rico Consumer Affairs Department, but the experience with Jeep-Chryslers customer service has been the worst I have had in my life.Upon research in the web I found that this is a very common problem to SRT owners and the feeling is the same; Jeep-Chrysler does not want to be responsible about this manufacturing issue and they avoid covering it under warranty. This is an SUV which base price is $65,000 and here in Puerto Rico, taxes included, is almost $80,000! It is incredible that a vehicle of such a high price has such a poor quality material and manufacturing in a part that is one of its main visual attributes. Anyone knows that this part is exposed to high temperatures and Jeep-Chrysler engineers should know better. I wish there is something that Consumer Affairs can do to help us Jeep SRT owners with this issue. I will be exploring the possibility of a class action against Jeep-Chrysler, among other causes of action for this abusive and elusive warranty scam.

2010 Jeep Liberty 3.7 liter engine with 74400 miles on it - I bought my Jeep last July 2015. I have had it in the multiple times for the water pump, heater core, thermostat, misfire several times and now brought it in on Wednesday August 3, 2016. It was loosing fluid out of the overflow so we called and brought it in to the shop and now they tell me that my engine is toast because we blew a head gasket. Nice right. I still owe money on the Jeep and my husband is disabled and we only have 1 vehicle. How am I going to bring him back and forth to the doctors and I have to work to make money and we dont have a pot to piss in. And I just spoke to Jeep helpline and they said they lend me a helping hand because after 7 minutes on the phone that we dont fit any of the criteria to get help. WTF. So much for Jeeps. I will not ever buy one again. You suck!!! My last Jeep is 16 years old and has 168000 miles on it when I sold it and it still running and never had a problem with it!!! Thanks JEEP.

I bought a used 2006 Jeep Liberty just over a year ago. It had 37,000 miles on it. I had to have all the window regulators fixed at the dealership, which was covered under warranty. The brakes squeak. The back window clicks, and makes a noise every time you turn the car on. It will not close correctly, unless you use the key pad to open the window. A couple of months ago, my check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer, to be scanned for trouble. They told me it was something internal, $50.00 later.They wanted more money to dig into the problem. I brought the car home. My husband took some of the motor apart, only to find out that it was slugged. We had to remanufacture the engine, and $1,000.00 later, we’re still having issues with the car. The check engine light is still on. The car runs rough at times, and sometimes it has an acceleration problem. I had the car checked out again, and I am being told it is the PCM, which is still covered under warranty. Trying to get a dealership to cover this, without being told that it is 12 other things for thousands of dollars. I will never buy a Chrysler product again. This is the worst piece of ** I have ever purchased.

The water pump on my 2009 Jeep Liberty went bad at 35,000 miles. It is 2 weeks out of warranty and they will not fix it. To top it off, when the case manager said that they will not approve the fix, she would also not let me speak with her supervisor or anyone else. Apparently, they let their lower level case managers make the final decision. A water pump should not go bad for 150,000 miles on todays vehicles. I am starting my anti-Chrysler/Jeep campaign today. I will never buy one again. It is a shame that this is what American car companies have come to. They cant design and make equipment that last past 35,000 miles without breaking.

The wiring that goes to all the lights are up under the dash near the brake
The wiring that goes to all the lights are up under the dash near the brake pedal. After driving the jeep for some time, all of a sudden the lights quit working. After having it checked, the brake pedal had rubbed against the wiring and rubbed them until they completely came apart losing all connection. Therefore, the lights, signals and everything quit working. I had it repaired, but still the lights only work part of the time. The mechanic at the Dodge place told us it was a wonder it had not caught on fire.

I have great experience with my Jeep Compass. Good on gas, handles well in bad weather, it is a four cylinder engine, and comfortable. Get good gas mileage and parts are fairly affordable, too. It has heated seats, also has four wheel drive, very roomy for size of vehicle, has built in CD player and design is with customer comfort in mind, overall appearance of the vehicle catches the eye and it has a smaller engine which is fuel economy but has the power to get thru anything. However, the Jeep should have a bigger trunk or storage area or should come with a compartment on top of rack for better storage of road side equipment and car maintenance.

Jeep Laredo 2014 4x4 - Like everyone says, Chrysler really does suck!! Transmission problems on 33k miles shifter recalls, wheel alignment shifts to the right. Transmission kick down to 50 when doing 60mph, dangerous. Chrysler will not help. They know everyone is having the same problem and their priority is to have the vehicle fixed so everyone buy one so they all sit in the shop while they get paid and we pay bs. Anyone know of a lawyer something? Its time the U.S. opens their eyes because they think they will always get away with it. Its not just one vehicle, it’s multiple vehicles. Chrysler tells you they will fix it while people are being told the same thing. Well you go ahead believe that.

So Ive been reading that this is a problem with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and even the dealer admits it and can do nothing for me. Ive had the Jeep go bone dry and shut down after 5k miles on multiple occasions prior to realizing this was an ongoing issue. This time I had the oil changed 3200 miles ago and the engine seized this morning. If this happened on the highway I could see it resulting in injury or death. The manufacturer does nothing, the dealer (Lester Glenn Jeep, Toms River, NJ) does nothing. Im told for them to do anything it has to meet lower than whatever the standard were for a vehicle to burn which was something like a quart per 1k miles. Ive had 10-20 yr old vehicles that didnt burn oil like that. This isnt normal. This time around it did burn quicker than the allotted quart/mi and I imagine its not going to be improving. Dont buy this year Jeep and I think 2015 has the same problems.

Searching the internet has produced numerous instances of the same issue I am having. I have also talked with the people at the local Jeep dealership.

I was one of the very first to sign up and order an all new Jeep Gladiator Launch Edition. It has been a botched launch ever since the beginning. The website pre-order not working correctly, promised a white glove concierge experience with no contact from them, the factory pumping out Jeeps for orders that were placed months after mine, and now delivery...As I type this it sits in a lot waiting on truck to bring it two hours to the dealership..for an entire month it has been sitting there. The chat is of no help and my salesman says FCA wont let him send someone just to pick it up. Starting to wonder why I am buying this if this is how Jeep treats its customers.

The Jeep was purchased in Utah where I have had nothing but problems from the beginning. It started with bad tire pressure sensor, then rear plastic window cracked, which is cracking again. Then a water leak started on soft top, which I have been to the dealer at least six times for them to replace seals and it still leaks worse today. Then the complete clutch and clutch release bearing went bad at 20,000 miles, which started to make noise again two months later and is going out again. Then the A/C didnt work, half doors flex out a half inch while driving on the freeway. They said it is normal. Then the front end rattles, the tailgate rattles loud and the traction control goes off for no reason on dry pavement, which makes the gas pedal unresponsive. It happened five times, then it knocks and pings abnormally, burns a quart of oil every 3000 miles. The brake pedal clicks, then the rear brake pads completely wear out while the same time, the front brake pads have no wear at all. Then the zipper on the window doesnt work, stereo speakers make loud popping noise. Most of all these defects still are happening. The answer I got from traction control malfunction was lifes a risk. The answer I got for the front end noise was turn your radio up. I have never had such a bad experience with a vehicle or unprofessional dealers in my life. I also want to mention how much of my time is spent at the dealer trying to get them to help me. I bought this vehicle brand new and I feel like I have been robbed.

Ive now owned five Jeeps. Two Grand Cherokees and three Wranglers (two JK models and one JL model). While Ive had a hiccup or two, Jeep has been great about making things right and the vehicles have been reliable. The reliability and versatility have kept me a loyal Jeep customer. Recently, and unfortunately, we were the victims of an F-250 Super Duty red light running hit-and-run driver that hit us and ran totaling the vehicle with only 4980 miles. Me, my wife, daughter, and son, all walked away the kids with zero injuries and my wife and I with minimal airbag related injuries. To say I am thankful is an understatement. Im so bummed that I lost so much of what I invested in my Jeep and am having trouble finding a replacement, but at the end of the day, we all walked away from a collision that had we been in a smaller vehicle, there would have likely been severe injuries or even death. Thank you Jeep!

Let me start from the beginning. I bought a brand new 2015 Jeep Renegade. First week the brakes and rotors had to be changed then week 2 I took in for capless gas tank not letting me fit the nozzle in and an extremely rough idle. They did a software update on it and said nothing was wrong with the gas tank. Next, I take in again because motor is extremely rough and still not able to put the nozzle in without having to fight with the nozzle and force it in. Salesmen and managers all experience this and the extremely rough idle. They tell me the parts are on back order so I take to another dealership who does 5 more motor updates and I call customer care about the parts being on back order and them not being able to fix the rough idle either. She tells me they would overnight the parts. This actually takes a week.I ask for a rental car and they tell me that there none available because of the long weekend which is a lie so I ask Sarah the customer care lady in charge of my case if I can rent my own and be reimbursed, she tells me yes. I go pick up my car a week later and still vibrates off and on like a week later. At this point I have had it in 4 times for the same issue. The customer care lady would do nothing! She tells me I have to keep taking it in as long as it takes! I was so frustrated by her customer service and the lady at the car service center that I just traded it in and lost 4000.00 on trade in! Their customer case managers are the worse people to have to deal with! And to top it off, they said they wouldnt pay for the rental car because I got rid of the piece of junk and they closed the case!

After the hitch recall was conducted I have lost capabilities of my vehicle
After the hitch recall was conducted I have lost capabilities of my vehicle due to the manufacturer (JEEP). I bought a 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD delivered by Jeep with a trailer hitch and wiring. The tow rating of 5000lbs was the only reason the jeep was purchased with the benefit of a diesel engine for better mpg. I was informed by mail a recall was necessary to prevent damage to the fuel tank and fire in case of an accident. When I asked the service manager at Ourisman Jeep in Clarksville, MD, I was told the N46 recall consisted of an inspection of the installed hitch and a possible replacement hitch if the original failed inspection. I was told there should be no other issues. When I got the Jeep back, I was told the hitch was replaced and I was good to go. While waiting on the Jeep, I read the paperwork which stated my vehicle did not come equipped for towing (it did come equipped for towing) and that I could not tow with the hitch that was now installed. I asked about this and was told by the service manager at Ourisman it was just legalese to cover their butt and not to worry, tow as before. I became concerned as I use the Jeep regularly to tow and have not used it since as I am concerned if the tow hitch Ourisman installed fails I will be held liable as Jeep says I cannot tow in the paperwork. I emailed jeep and received the following: Thank you for contacting the Jeep Customer Assistance Center. We regret to learn of your concerns regarding the ability to tow with this new hitch. We regret to inform you that we are unable to diagnose or advise if your vehicle is safe regarding if you can tow with this new trailer hitch that was installed. There are too many variables involved and a detailed inspection of your vehicle is required for proper diagnosis. If you choose to use the new hitch for towing, you are responsible for any damage it may or may not cause.Based on that I wrote back asking why I went from a vehicle that could tow to one that couldnt and why it wasnt mentioned previously. The response was: We reviewed your concerns further in regards to obtain further clarification on if you are able to tow with this new hitch. FCA US LLC and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have agreed on this repair action. The repair procedure set out by FCA US LLC meets these requirements that were set out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The trailer-hitch assemblies installed as part of this campaign are intended only to provide rear structural reinforcement. Hitch-balls were not to be installed and customers are not advised to operate their vehicles with exposed hitch-balls. We apologize this information does not assist you with your concerns; however, we must stand behind our decision to advise you not to tow with this hitch.I am unsure who else to actually contact as the manufacturer and the dealer have now basically stolen from me the only reason I own the vehicle. I also dont understand how they would replace a hitch when I told them I use it for towing and later say it wasnt their call. I did email the BBB, they should respond in 30 days. I contacted NHTSA and received this in response: Thank you for contacting the U.S. Department of Transportations Vehicle Safety Hotline Information Center. For recall inquiries on your specific vehicle, safety seat, or other equipment please contact the manufacturer. We hope that you find this information helpful. However, if you need additional information on our services please feel free to contact us at 1-888-327-4236.I started out just wanting the jeep back to where I can tow. But since Jeep refuses and is saying that it was approved by NHTSA to get lost or at least thats what the last email from Jeep seems to say, I dont want it anymore as I cant use it. Now I think based on the paperwork I likely cant even sell the jeep to anyone planning to tow as even though it was rated to tow it now has paperwork saying not to. And even had Jeep offered to buy it back and give credit toward buying another Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge I wont. I wont buy another Chrysler product after this. This has completely turned me off the Company, even though I have been a lifelong Mopar Enthusiast, having owned a 68 Roadrunner, 87 Ram and a 2002 Quad Cab Dakota that was one of my previous tow vehicles. So now I have to begin a search for another vehicle that meets the need the Liberty was filling so I can have a vehicle to tow with; the ideal being a small 4x4 with a tow capacity of at least 5000lbs. And find a way to sell or trade the Jeep as I cannot justify continuing making payments on a vehicle I cannot use due to the fast one pulled by Jeep.

My 98 Jeep is an amazing car. It has saved my life a few times. The major issue Ive had with it is that a few years ago, I had to have the transmission replaced and fixed. Almost immediately, I blamed the shop. Thank God for warranties. Ive had it for 5 years. And it still runs great. But the issue now is that the gas mileage is slowly getting worse. I dont know if its just crappy gas companies putting something in the gas or what. But I live about an hour out of Austin. And it used to use less than a quarter of a tank to get there and back. Now, even if I dont run the AC, it uses more than a quarter. Let me just say its Texas summer in a black jeep with no AC, and gas prices are going up everyday.

Hello, our beautiful Jeep Liberty with 57,500 miles has a broken spring loaded draw curtain to cover the luggage area. It has completely quit retracting and seems to be coming apart. I am the only person to handle this and Im not rough on it. I need it working to keep my golf clubs out of sight and now cannot do it. The great dealer here in Slidell, La says they can fix it for $250.00 (with a new unit)!!! I want information on how to take it apart and fix it and cannot get a answer from the Jeep co.

We have a 2008 Jeep Patriot and it was purchased new. Within the first year, our sunroof started leaking. We took the car to the dealership three to four times before they finally replaced the seal on it. They kept saying they were bugs or leaves in the tracks. It wasnt until I threatened to get a lawyer that they replaced the seal. Our liner has spots on it from the water damage and the mechanics hands. We have now owned our car for three and a half years. It has 46,000 miles. This last month, it has started leaking again!We noticed water on the passenger side flooring (a puddle) and could not find water anywhere else. After looking online, I thought it was possibly a clogged hose from the defrost. We took the car to a mechanic who has confirmed that it would not be a problem and suggested that we go to a body repair specialist to find where the leak is coming from. After looking at the car and the large puddle in our car, it looks like it is coming from somewhere around the rear window. I have called Jeep and the assigned case manager will not commit to fixing it. They want us to pay the dealership to look at it and then they may possibly allow us to have a copay to repair this. How can they get by with this? It appears that this is a common problem. We feel that our car is ruined! You can hear water under the floor! Help!

Do Not Buy a Jeep! I purchased a 2014 Jeep patriot about three months ago.
Do Not Buy a Jeep! I purchased a 2014 Jeep patriot about three months ago. There is a problem with the brakes. When you apply the brakes they squeal. The dealership told me that Jeep changed the composition of the brake pads to a less expensive material. This stuff makes terrible noise. It wakes up the neighborhood when I go to work in the morning. You cant take this Jeep to any place to go hunting. You can pull into or out of a parking lot without people noticing the poor quality of the vehicle. Most people believe that I am not maintaining the car. It has less than 10,000 miles on it. I took it in once and complained. They changed out one set of pads. Now the other side is making noise. Driving this vehicle is very embarrassing. I dont want the Jeep anymore. The old expression was that is a hulk of junk, now my expression is that is a hulk of jeep junk. Buy a Ford.

I bought my 2016 Jeep Renegade new. I have had it since March of 2016. I am VERY dissatisfied with it and the Jeep experience. I started having problems with it around July of last year and it has literally been in and out of the shop since. I lose gas power while driving, it just does not go. Jeeps reasoning behind no gas is the transmission is trying to find a gear. This is NOT acceptable. A car should go no matter what when you push the gas pedal down. I have had a few close calls because my car chooses when it wants to go. I have also been told turn your traction control off and this should fix the problem. I am not sure why this should fix my problem, my car should go when I push the gas down. I asked why I have to manually put my car in first gear, their response is First gear is for four wheel drive. Well, there is your problem. Thats why it cant find a gear when I am rolling forward, or turning and trying to go. Maybe it needs first gear. This is the WORST car I have EVER driven. I love how the excuses of why it drives so horribly just flow like a river. I should feel safe when I drive my car, and I dont because I dont know when it is going to happen. The problem has happened to my husband and my son.

Having major issues with my Leased Jeep Grand Cherokee 2018. Every person I turn to, is turning me away. I have left several messages with Jeep on my case #** and no one has gotten back to me. I have called into Jeep everyday for the last month. I have names, dates, and no callbacks! Only aggravation! My car contains mold, I have taken my vehicle in for service 3 times already and every service center tells me there is nothing wrong with my car. During this time my car is in service, I had to rent a car (at my expense) because Jeep will not provide me with a loaner. I have been in and out of service centers since August. As the time goes by the smell is getting stronger and stronger. It has come to a point where I cannot even use the car. Mold is a health hazard and I will not put myself nor my children at a health risk! I do not want this car! I want to cancel my lease agreement and not have to deal with Jeep ever again! This is experience has become a nightmare from Hell! I dont know who else to call at this point! At this point, I will take legal action and file a lawsuit against Jeep!

Brand new 2014 jeep wrangler Rubicon started malfunction at 5000 miles. Lights shorting out, tpms fully malfunctioning and doesnt recognize where any of my tires are even after 3 new modules replaced. My radio now doesnt work as it goes nuts with the buttons flashing etc. when car is on and the worst part is my Jeep turning on by itself in my driveway middle of night without the keys!!! They have had me into dealership for 7 months now. 12 plus visits, over 5 rental cars and to this day I have no answers. The resolution department does nothing but make you run in circles and has not offered to help in any way. I spent over $50,000 on this top of line Jeep to get no accountability from the manufacturer on these problems. When their own dealership told me to hire a lawyer AND the customer service dept of Jeep says the same thing after looking over my STAR report.... well looks like Im getting a lawyer. Lucky I live in California where they have to give me every penny back, my down payment and pay for my lawyer. I used to love my Jeep. Now I just have a bad taste in my mouth from this company.

We have a 2007 Jeep Commander with the lifetime, unlimited mile, unlimited
We have a 2007 Jeep Commander with the lifetime, unlimited mile, unlimited time warranty from Jeep (Chrysler). For the past year, it has stalled repeatedly without warning. It just dies while going down the road which of course results in a loss of all power assist for steering and braking leaving the driver to muscle it out of traffic. It will restart but only after putting it in Park and turning the key completely to the off position and then restarting. It has been to the dealership multiple times, for a total time in the shop for a total time of about two months during the past year and they have yet to diagnose, much less, fix the problem despite getting Jeep engineers involved. We got the run-around from Jeep who eventually dropped the case and said we could start over with a new complaint. What value is a lifetime warranty on a vehicle that the dealer and manufacturer is incapable of repairing? The dealership has done what they can, but Jeep offers us NOTHING but words.

Major car problem, dont buy a Jeep. I purchased a 2012 Jeep Patriot in Dece
Major car problem, dont buy a Jeep. I purchased a 2012 Jeep Patriot in December of 2011. I was in the process of moving 900 miles over the 4th of July weekend 2012 when the car just stalled on the inter-state. Neither the highway patrol person, the tow person nor myself was able to get it to start. I had to have it towed and my U-Haul trailer towed separately (at my expense) 20 miles away to the nearest Chrysler dealer, where it sat for 3 days before anyone could look at it. Meanwhile, in order to continue my move, I had to borrow my son-in laws vehicle with a trailer hitch because there is no rental agency that will rent a car with a hitch to tow. I drove to my new home and now have to drive back 800 miles to pick up my car. Will Jeep reimburse me for my time, the gas for 2 extra trips, the hotel or even the meals? No, Jeep says that I should have gotten a rental even though I couldnt get a rental, so no luck. The service department where my car was checked says that they could find nothing wrong but that they were told by Chrysler corporate office that there have been other instances of this happening with no apparent cause. So Im supposed to drive 800 miles and pick up my car and just hope for the best.

I just leased a 2012 Jeep Liberty. Jeep on their own website says that ever
I just leased a 2012 Jeep Liberty. Jeep on their own website says that every radio system on the Jeep Liberty comes with Sirius XM radio and a 1-year subscription, as does the new car window sticker, and as did the salesman who leased me the vehicle. However, poking around all the channels on my new Sirius XM radio, I find that there are channels missing. Upon deeper research, I find that I actually have a Sirius Select subscription, not a Sirius XM subscription as promised. And upon further checking I find that I cannot just upgrade my subscription on my own to get Sirius XM channels because Sirius XM requires a “different radio than is offered with the Jeep Liberty!”If Jeep had said, Our Sirius XM (the manufacturer) radios come with a free 1-year Sirius Select subscription, that would be one thing, but they did not. I have been on the phone with Sirius XM, and many times with the Jeep dealer and with Jeep corporate. Today the Jeep sales manager called me and basically said, Sorry but we are not liable for that. The assigned Jeep case worker told me first that they would give me free oil changes. When I insisted they keep their word and give me Sirius XM radio as promised, she then came back and said they would cover half of the cost of the Sirius XM radio. If they arent responsible, why would they do that? When I tried to nail the case manager down about exactly how much that is and if that included the subscription, she said she didnt know. Obviously she is going back and forth with the dealership, which is not owned by Jeep but is an independent dealer. I also looked into getting Sirius XM internet radio, but again that still does not have the XM stations I want, so I cant cover this on my own without spending hundreds. But I shouldnt have to do that anyway. The issue isnt just a few channels. The issue is that Jeep is not providing something that is promised and is listed on the sales receipt. I dont want to make a huge deal about this. All I want is what I was promised. How about it, Jeep?

2015 Jeep Patriot Sport 11,600 Miles - I purchased a Jeep Patriot brand new in 7/2015. Today I take it for a oil change and the transmission is leaking where it connects to the engine. I was told the tranny has to be replaced but they cannot tell me when it will be fixed. Chrysler and the dealership refuse to provide a loaner. All their customer service people say is I understand your frustration and then say I just have to wait. I was supposed to go on a family prepaid, non-refundable vacation tomorrow. GREAT customer service Jeep. Im sure glad I bought such a reliable, brand new vehicle that you back so well!! What a joke!!!

I bought a new 2018 Jeep Renegade. At three months/4,200 miles it kept stalling out. I called the dealership for suggestions. They stated that I needed to check my oil level. I was very confused by that being a new vehicle. It was over 5 quarts low!! No check engine or oil lights ever came on at any time! How is that possible?! How long have I been driving without oil in my engine? After some online research, I am seeing this has been a big issue with this model with no recalls. NOT ACCEPTABLE!! Buyers beware!!!

I called last week to simply find out a price on a vehicle. I spoke to Trevor who kept me on the phone for 20 minutes trying to get me to come down there to purchase this same vehicle. I told him there was no way I was driving 4 hours to be disappointed and come home with nothing. Ive had over 12 vehicles and I know how this operation works. I told him about my proposal I have with a dealer here and the price they were giving me for my trade. They unfortunately didnt have the color jeep I wanted. He guaranteed that he could get me to a payment of $300 or under. I still said I dont believe it and will not drive there until I know you can sell this vehicle for this amount and that I have it in writing. At this point he said even if we lose money we want your business. I told him Id call Monday since Id be away all weekend. In the meantime my friend Greg also called and spoke to Trevor about numbers and he promised he could get us there. So last evening we made the 2-hour one-way drive to find out it was all a lie. The numbers were way off. You wouldnt give me the discount promised. I left absolutely devastated. My suggestion to Trevor and the rest of your team is not to make empty promises to prospective buyers. You wasted 5 hours of driving and caused a lot of heartache. I will never recommend anyone to your dealership. As matter of fact, I will tell everyone I know to steer clear. I will be writing a letter to Jeep corporate customer satisfaction on how no one there would take any responsibility for their dishonest actions and misleading representations over the phone. Especially with a new salesperson they have on staff that is representing them. They promised $11,500 for my trade and $2300 in rebates. We got there and they would only discount the jeep $1165 and would only give me $10,000 for my car.

My husband and I bought a 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk the year it came out
My husband and I bought a 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk the year it came out. Since then, weve had several issues pop up. One of the major issues is that the car is sluggish and wont accelerate fast enough. Theres an under-powered engine and a transmission thats clunky and seems to jump gears. For example: When the car slows down it jumps gears. I can foresee that this could be a major safety issue at some point.At about 20,000 miles or so, we had to bring the Jeep into the dealership to get fixed because the remote start wouldnt work properly, the paint was already chipping off of the Trailhawk emblem and the seatbelt wasnt installed properly and was clicking. Jeep had this car priced at around $30,000 with all of these issues. My husband and I wanted to trade in the Jeep and they were only going to offer a trade in amount of about $15,000. My father always said that a car is nothing but a pit to throw your money in. Some pits are a lot deeper (cough cough: JEEP!). And this one youre better off just passing by.

I purchased a 2007 Jeep Liberty brand new. It will be 5 yrs that I have had
I purchased a 2007 Jeep Liberty brand new. It will be 5 yrs that I have had it in Dec. It has less than 60,000 miles on it and I have had so many problems with it. First off, the 1st yr was good. Then it just snowballed from there. A spring broke in the lifters; this was covered. Then my check engine light kept coming on. The car would stall. I was told it was an emissions problem. It cost nearly $500 to have it fixed. Then the ABS light started coming on constantly. Starting the car up in the driveway, the ABS light would come on. Sitting still at a traffic light ,the ABS light would come on. I took it to the dealer to have it checked and told them exactly what I stated. I was told that they needed to know more. They didnt know why it was happening. Then this summer, my driver side window stopped working. I took it to the dealer and they told me, Oh, thats not covered. Its the window regulator, only the lifters are covered. After fighting with Chrysler about this, they said if I paid 90 dollars, they would pay the rest. I did not get it right to the dealer. I come home one day and there is a message from Chrysler saying, Oh, that deal was only good for 30 days and you didnt get it done. so its null and void.At no time was I told there was a deadline on the deal. Yesterday, I went to move my car out of the drive so my husband can leave for work. As I put the car into park, there was a loud clicking noise. I went to turn the car off and the key didnt turn all the way and its stuck in the ignition. I took it to the dealer and they tell me that the shifter cable is broken and no, its not covered, it will cost me 330 dollars. I bought a new car so I would not have the problems of a car nickel and dime-ing me all the time. Boy, did I get screwed. I have had better used cars that totally lasted a lot longer without breaking down.I am very angry that I have had to put all this money into this car. I really believe that this car has a lot of defects. I have read numerous complaints about people having problems with the windows, etc., yet nothing is being done. So what do I have to look forward to next? I just cant believe in the time that I have had this vehicle all that has gone wrong. I could maybe understand it if it were a lot older. Im totally dissatisfied with Jeep and Chrysler for that matter. And it proves to me that the quality of the cars the are being putting out are way below standard. They say you pay for what you get. Well, I guess I pretty much paid for poor craftsmanship and a defective car.

After a 60,000 mile service, I drove from New England to Florida, 1560 miles. Gas mileage dropped from the usual 20-21 mpg to 16 mpg. I had the local dealer diagnose the cause. No problem they say. Updated the computer, otherwise all is gut. Now getting 13 mpg around town, 15 at steady speed (65) over 150 mi trips. Checked the computer read against manual mileage calculation. They agree. No smoke, steady, smooth idle, good engine response as usual. What the heck happened?

Jeep Liberty 2004. After replacing a battery a week ago, I had a stall problem. I mentioned the battery because of a noise I heard before it died that I did not take much noise in but relates to the stall I had this week. I was coming home from work in congested traffic and started hearing a whirring noise. I heard it several times and noticed it was coming from my dash. This is also when I noticed the dash lights (radio and odometer lights were flickering). I also noticed a slight lose of power. As I came up to a light and stopped, the Jeep stalled. I quickly pushed the hazard lights, put it in park and restarted it. No problems since. I am concerned about driving it. What if I had been driving and not stopping at a light? I was in bumper to bumper traffic.

Jeep does not takes care of their customer in all fairness. I purchase a 20
Jeep does not takes care of their customer in all fairness. I purchase a 2016 Jeep Renegade Latitude back in November 2016 at Suresky in Goshen NY. In the beginning of 2018 I started getting an issue with my car. I had oil consumption issue. Engine light would come on and the car would feel like as if it’s going to shutdown. Every time I would take to get my oil change, the mechanic would tell me that I have barely have any oil. So I took it to where I purchase the car and explained to them that my issues are with my car. So they did their inspection and testing and at the end they told me that the oil consumption was normal. Mind you I had 45,995 miles and still under warranty. April 29 2019 my car started blowing white smoke out of my tailpipe. Was unable to drive the vehicle home. Following day I took it to the nearest Jeep dealer around my job Croton Auto Park, Croton on Hudson, NY. They did a diagnostic and found #3 cylinder misfires, all my spark plugs are full of oil, a piece of spark plug was found inside the engine and a piece of the piston was to found inside the engine. I called the Jeep FCA opened a case. One of the representatives that helped me open my case told me that my issue with my car was common. She has handled a few of the same issues. The service Manager at the Croton Auto Park also told me that these are very common with the model of my car. I was told that to fix the car it would cost $12,000.00 and the Jeep were only willing to pay $8000 and I have to come up with the other $4000 out of pocket. Now I am 67,000 miles (7000) over the warranty and was told that this is their last offer. I believe that I should not have to pay for any of this because if this was addressed when I brought it in the day that I was still covered under warranty and below the mileage I wouldn’t need to pay anything. This is a manufacture defect. A 2 1/2 year old car having this kind of issues is unheard of. I provided proof of maintenance records. I am a loyal customer with Jeep. I had a 2003 and 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2016 Jeep Wrangler and now 2018 Jeep Renegade Latitude. I have never had a bad experience with Jeep till now. This is the worst experience I ever had. I am going to continue to post all this in all social media until I am heard and acknowledge.

Bought a new 2014 Jeep Cherokee, it was leaking oil and shutting off on the highway. They replaced the whole engine after 24,000 miles, now at 47,000 miles it needs a second engine.

Berthod Motors in Glenwood Springs, CO and its corporate affiliates left my
Berthod Motors in Glenwood Springs, CO and its corporate affiliates left my wife and I stranded for the holidays. After having paid out of pocket for a PCM replacement on our Jeep Grand Cherokee that also fried our battery and alternator last December, my Jeep began exhibiting the same issues as before at the beginning of this December. The PCM failed and fried a battery. I contacted Berthod Motors only to be told that while the part was still under warranty, it would be 2 weeks before a mechanic could even look at our vehicle to assess if it was truly the PCM that had failed again. Without option, we booked an appointment.I had our Jeep towed to Berthod the night before our scheduled appointment. The day of the appointment came and went with 0 contact from the dealership, although I had tried to call and left multiple messages. I had been left with no idea that the vehicle had even made it to the dealership. I was finally contacted by the service manager the following day saying that it was in fact a PCM failure, but due to not having one in stock, it would be another week before the repair would be made. It has now been 2 weeks with no end in sight.After once again not being contacted by Berthod Motors with an update to the status of the repair, I stopped in and was informed that the PCM is on backorder. The EARLIEST that the part could be available is mid January, 6 weeks after the vehicle broke down due to a faulty part being installed by Jeep. I was told by Jason, the service manager, that his hands were tied as far as not being able to make the repair any quicker or providing a rental car in between. Jason directed me to Jeeps direct customer service to see if they could be any help. I contacted Jeeps Corporate customer service line on Monday of this week. I explained my wife and I’s situation to the representative and while she was very kind, she informed me that she would have to escalate the situation and that she didn’t have the resources to actually help. It took another 48 hours for a different representative to call. Without hesitation the representative told my wife and I that there isn’t even a chance that Jeep would be willing to help us with a rental car and we would be so lucky to get the replacement PCM any quicker than what we were quoted from Berthod. This will be my wife and I’s last vehicle from General Motors. My wife, a teacher, has been a huge fan of Jeep since she has had her driver’s license. She has personally financed over 5 different models of Jeep Cherokees since our marriage. Already last week she suggested that we move over to a more dependable brand such as Toyota after this debacle. As a plumber in this valley, I could never stay in business, let alone stay employed if this is how I treated my clients. I would never think of or have the audacity to install a faulty part in a clients home and then leave them without water or heat after the part failed. Regardless of backordered parts. This has truly been one of the worst examples of customer care that I have seen in my life. This review will be updated as the situation progresses.

I bought my 2017 Jeep Compass brand new, the 8th month in I was driving on a busy street when my oil sensor went off and caused my car to slow to a stop and my steering wheel to stiffen. Mind you, the oil light went off 3 days prior and Jeeps response when I took it in? “It burns oil every 3k miles, this is normal according to their standards and that’s just a sensor”. Flash forward to a radio repair, back up camera repairs (needs to be replaced again) and multiple oil issues and it has now been declared a lemon. To say the process even with an attorney has been simple would be a lie. It has been a total nightmare to get Chrysler to take back THEIR defective vehicle. If you are looking for a car for yourself or family I would highly suggest doing your research and never, ever buy a Jeep/Chrysler vehicle. If I could rate 0 stars I would have.

The worst vehicle that I have ever own. No... the worst investment that I have ever made. This vehicle has given me nothing but issues. I think that I may stop parking it in the garage and just park it at the mechanic every night. At 30000 the thermostat failed; at 50000 miles the water pump failed; soon after the head gasket blew; then the head itself; then the water pump again; the heat; the alarm would go off when driving; had two batteries die due to a draw somewhere; the camshaft had to be replaced; the cam sensor; oh... lets not forget the oil sender sensor and now back in the shop because it randomly stalls at speeds over 40 miles an hour. I feel like I am driving a Yugo.

The Electronic Shift Modules are faulty on 2006 model Jeep Commander Esmera
The Electronic Shift Modules are faulty on 2006 model Jeep Commander Esmeralda. The manufacturer is aware of the problem and refuses to recall the product or make part available outside of the dealer. This simple fix has cost me hundreds of dollars to fix twice. Im on my third repair and the dealer will not admit faulty craftsmanship.

Sunday my Jeep 2019 Compass 13,000 miles wouldn’t start because of “software malfunction.” Got roadside assistance Monday morning to get it towed from a shopping center the car stopped at to dealer. Next day they gave me the car saying it’s fixed. Next morning same thing happened. I was in school so I arranged the car to get towed from my school. No one came for an hour so I called back and roadside said it was no records of it. I created another request of roadside around noon. They promised to pick it up within 60 min. At 7pm I called the dealer to see if it was dropped off and they had no record of it. I called back roadside assistance and the pick up was cancelled. No one called or texted to let me know. Then they said sorry. They arranged for my towing. It will be there in 60min.It’s 8pm. I still don’t know if my car has been picked up, towed, stolen (because they tell you to leave the keys inside the car). God knows what would happen. There you have it, Jeep Warranty roadside assistance. It’s been 8hrs and I have no idea what’s going on with my car. I could have been stranded on the side of the road with a baby and they wouldn’t know I need help. Seriously baffled at how a huge multimillion dollar company has such third-rate unacceptable customer service and emergency response team.. Mind you that is a warranty issue. NEVER BUYING A CHRYSLER IF ITS THE LAST CAR STANDING.

Have a 2009 Compass covered less than 19000 miles from new. It has a fault which causes the engine to go to limp home mode. The local Jeep dealership has carried out various works to a total cost of nearly 1000 euros, but cannot cure problem. They are now suggesting further work of around 10000 euros but are not sure if this will solve the problem or not. Jeep seem to have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it. I am at a total loss as how to move forward... Pay 10000 euros which may or may not cure the problem or scrap a virtually new car because the manufacturer is unable to repair it. IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING A NEW JEEP, THINK AGAIN.

While driving on vacation, on the 2nd day, my 2008 Jeep at 41,138 gave out
While driving on vacation, on the 2nd day, my 2008 Jeep at 41,138 gave out on the transmission. I had to stop in MS State for repairs costing $3,699.13+135.60 car rental. Upon returning home, I called Chrysler who is willing to pay only $1,500 with no explanation or were concerned as to why the Jeep did what it did. I have been at this since August 14. Today, I am told the check for $1,500 is on the way but I have asked them to reopen the case as I am still not satisfied nor was I given any reasons except that the Jeep loaner has any warranties. It seems the Jeep had three years, 36,000 and no more. My question was whatever happened to power train warranty of 80,000/100,000?I find Chrysler staff incompetent to do their job in dealing with their customer and has no lack of concern over this early transmission issue with the Jeep. Mind you, they acknowledged it is an early problem but because they feel there is no warranty with the car, they were not going to further review why the transmission failed. They never called the dealership where it was repaired to this day. I have reported them to the TX AG and NHTSA/DOT and will continue to post this issue on any website that will alert any consumers on this automaker. Now that the case has been reopened, I will wait and see what the outcome will be the second time around. There was a day when I asked for the Chrysler corporations phone number. The operator gave me to their roadside assistant line.I am very angry and very frustrated at the way I have been treated. By the way, they not only asked me for the repair bill. They had the gall to ask me for my credit card statement to show that I really did pay for the repairs of $3,699.13. How do you like that for treatment by Chrysler Customer Care? I would like all Chrysler owners to review their warranty and those that are thinking of buying any Chrysler products, read the warranty book before buying their cars.

As another review said, no matter which way you turn its a dead end. My Jeep had (transmission) issues due to design flaw since day 1 and they snowball you and snowball you as you rack up mileage and it gets out of warranty. Still with quality issues slipping gears - they DO NOT stand behind their products and mechanic said outright that they are designed terribly. Still awaiting responses from Jeep / Chrysler credit. Again just falls on dead ears. BUYER BEWARE!!!

I bought a used 2007 Jeep Compass from a private party and a few moths later with only 47000 miles the transmission started making a whining noise. I brought it to a Dodge Chrysler dealer and they told me it needed a new transmission at a cost of $3840. I complained to the dealer and spoke with Chrysler customer service and they wouldnt help out with the cost. A transmission shouldnt fail in only 47,000 miles. Research shows lots of issues with the CVT transmission failing with the Jeep Compass. Dont buy a Jeep. They dont stand by their product.

In 2008, I purchased a New Jeep Patriot. In 2011 with only 28,915 miles on the vehicle, I had to replace both ball joints, and since the ball joint on this vehicle can only be replaced with the attached control arm, they also had to be replaced. I also had to replace two front tires because from rubbing on the defective parts, the tires were worn down to the steel belts. There is no way that this should have occurred with the low mileage on the vehicle. Jeep tells me that they have no recall on this model.

2014 Jeep Compass in the service department constantly for stall starting and engine ticking noise when turning it off. Chrysler states that they are unable to detect the stall starting. I have 3 videos to prove it and theyre stressing me out. My Jeep has gone to the dealer over 4 times for the same issue and the only thing that was replaced was a solenoid for the ticking noise when shutting off that is still there. All Im hearing is if it happens again. I live nearly 100 miles from the dealership one way. The dealership and Chrysler representative lied like they put a black box on my Jeep to detect the issue and asked me to bring my Jeep back to the dealership by a certain date to have it removed. I get to the dealership just to find out no box was ever placed on it. Im fed up and stressed to the max with the run-arounds and in the midst of all this from the beginning, dealing with a dying mother that passed January 25 and still mourning her, and dealing with Chrysler is too much.

The jack is stuck in up position. The small hydraulic devices that hold the hood in open position got worn so it can no longer hold the hood open. I had to open the hood a lot.Now, I use an approximately 2 ft. section of PVC pipe as a hood holder, which bounces around under the tiny back seat. ** you, Jeep!

I let it leak all the time and carry around an extra quarts of oil to replenish it as necessary. ** you, Jeep! The windshield blew out three times and the repairs were costly.

My next car will be a late 80s or early 90s VW Scirocco, or something like a semi-old Honda Accord, with under 100K miles. Used Japanese or German cars will get me around for my driving needs, when I am not on a bicycle or out walking. Jeep rewrote the book on scamming and laughing in our faces. Everything about this company is evil and pathetic to me now. ** you, Jeep and die!

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit - On November 17th, after about 30 seconds
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit - On November 17th, after about 30 seconds driving forward, the car shifted from 2nd gear back to first gear. The car practically skidded to shift back to first. I was thrown forward in the car. Luckily, I wear my seat belt. It would not shift out of first after that. The engine light came on. I had it towed to the dealership where I bought it. They said something is wrong with the transmission. They said they could not fix the transmission, but would replace the entire transmission. They said with a car this new, they do not have the knowledge to fixing the transmissions. They replaced the transmission and drove it 200 miles. They said it is fixed. I picked it up on a Monday, November 24 and drove it home. The next day, I had the problem again. When turning on 4 lane road (2 in one direction and two in another), the vehicle started to go across the intersection. It appeared to try to shift to 2nd, but the car stopped moving (like it was in neutral). I had to start blowing the horn as oncoming cars were coming at a high rate of speed. I could have killed. I immediately call the dealership. They picked the car up and drove it back to the dealership. They ran numerous tests on the car and could not duplicate the problem. They called and told me the car was ready.I have severe reservation about getting back in a vehicle that I could have been killed in and drive it away when I know, the dealership knows and Chrysler knows, they couldnt duplicate the problem and they didnt fix anything. So, basically, I will be driving a ticking time bomb that could blow up at any time. My wife, kids and grand-kids could be in jeopardy and other drivers on the road. I paid over 50K for this vehicle, only to find myself stressed out over this fact. I cannot get back into this vehicle knowing nothing was corrected and I was almost killed.

I purchased 3 new 2005 Liberty from 2 different dealers at the same time. As the single owners and used in our business, they are on the road 24/7 and are now at 200,000-250,000 miles. From day one, we have complained to the local dealer to no avail, who blew it off and never made any reports. When filling the tanks with gas on each Liberty, they spill over every time before the gas hose nozzle shuts off. It does not matter what gas station you go to. They all do the same spill over down the side of the car and onto the rear left wheels.The issue is none of our other cars do that. Fire is a real danger each time. We have to guess at about how much to fill the tank so it does not come up the next so fast before the pump can shut off. We operate several other cars at the time and have no problems with the auto shut off. We perceive the gas tank neck is too short or fills too fast trigger the shut off at the pump. There must be a design defect that spills gas over the fender about a pint each time you try to fill the tank at the full level. All 3 Jeeps do the same scenario. Its a 2005 design defect. A real safety hazard exists.

From the moment I purchased this vehicle I have had nothing but problems, constantly. I bought it new off the lot in 2011 and paid an extra $5k for the warranty. Every few months I have to take it to the dealer for repairs: Twice for exhaust leaks caused by broken exhaust bolts, fuel pump, radiator, water pump, rack and pinion, drive shaft, twice for inside fan blower, left motor mount twice, right motor mount, 8! times and counting for a vibration that cannot be determined, even after an engineer from Chrysler flew out, 2 a/c condensers, spark plug coil, exhaust manifold, rear light cover melted from poor design, air conditioning lines, play in the transmission, oil pan replaced... I mean the list goes on. The kicker is that I have never once even taken this vehicle off road. The bottom is spotless!After endless hours on the phone constantly I have yet to receive anyone at Jeep who wants to resolve the issue. The offered me a CDI number for employee pricing, when I went into the dealership to explore the sales guy laughed at me and told me he has way better deals. I would discourage anyone from buying a Jeep ever. All my friends, family, and coworkers have a running joke about me and my Jeep. So sad, especially when Chrysler was bailed out billions of our tax payer money! In addition, I am a disabled service connected veteran of the US Air Force. And this is how I am treated by a company that touts their support of vets! Beyond disappointed.

I purchased a 2002 Jeep Liberty in April, and I have really enjoyed it until recently. It only has 73,000 miles on it. And one day I was leaving work and heard a clunk sound. When I got home, I opened the hood and checked the oil. It was completely gone, and it was less than 3000 miles since its last change. It started to make a rattle sound, and so I took it to two different mechanics, one Chrysler and was told the entire engine needs to be replaced. I had refilled the oil and havent lost any since, and now I find out that this has happened to many people and Chrysler replaced the engine and model and is not helping those that need the repair done.

I purchased a brand new Jeep Compass in September 2015. I owned jeeps previously but not a compass and never had problems like I am having now. At 3 years old my compass radio went out and needed to be replaced the car has 30,000 miles on it but the radio was not covered under warranty. It cost me 450.00 to replace it. In 2019 at 4 years old I needed a new wheel bearing and had to replace front and back breaks rotors and pads to the tune of over 800.00. Car had 35,000 miles on it. In June of 2020 a sensor for the battery went and car would not start. I had to have it towed to the dealer for 200.00. The sensor cost 12 dollars but I was charged 300.00 for 2 hours of labor. Now the 4wd, traction control light and ABS light all came on.When I took it to my local mechanic he said the wiring for these sensors was all corroded and would need to be replaced. He did not give me an estimate but told me it would be very expensive. The car has 42,000 miles on it. I am very disgusted and would not recommend this vehicle to anyone. I called Jeep and they told me they Couldnt help as my warranty ended Sept. 9 2020. Nice Company!

Its hard to explain it all but in a nutshell -- Jeep doesnt stand behind their product and their customer service is a disservice. In June 2018, my Liberty roof got stuck open. The local dealer was helpful in getting the roof closed but said the part to repair it was back ordered 48 weeks. When the roof started to leak a bit more, I called Jeep/Chrysler to find a solution. OMG. Useless people and baloney answers. The part is in manufacturing. I said, Good. How many are you shipping next week? IDK. How many Jeeps did you produce with a sky slider roof? IDK. A case manager will call you back. Oh that is not my dealership.They should be ashamed of themselves to not support a car that is only 8 yrs old and allow the interior to ruined by the rain and not offer a viable solution to protect your investment. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND A JEEP PRODUCT AGAIN and I have had several. Buy a TOYOTA!!! or Hyundai --my second car is GREAT!

I complained to CarMax who then told me it was a manufacturers design flaw and everyone (except me and my salesman) are aware of the sky roofs problematic history. I was told by CarMax to take it to a Jeep dealership to have them fix it because they could do no more for me. Really?

At 300 miles, that did not work, and I ordered a computer and was told the car was okay to drive. At 1000 miles that also did not correct problem, so I left the car at the dealer. Two weeks, the car is still not fixed and Chrysler is not sure what will fix it. Customer Service keeps putting off the option to buy the car back. It is now 24 hours since I was last contacted by Jeep. They keep coming up with one more thing to put off resolving the problem.

Two Chrysler dealers in my area said they have never seen anything like this before and told me to contact Chrysler Canada and they might be able to bend the rules since this is a very rare incident and that my Jeep is such in good shape. Well, they pretty much slammed the door in my face. They will not do anything for me. I was going to trade her in for a new one this summer. Well I can tell you my mind has been changed.

I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty that I bought used in August of 2009 with only 16,000 miles on it. One month after I purchased my Jeep, the front passenger window regulator went out. I got online to see about the cost of repair and found out about this widespread problem. I couldnt afford to pay for the repair so I had to tape the window up. In April of 2010, the rear drivers side window went out, so I taped it up. Yesterday, the rear passengers side window went out and now I am fed up. I called Chrysler Corporate (800-xxx-xxxx) today and complained that I now have three windows that do not work and do not have the money to fix them and Im driving around with taped up windows. I told them that I know for a fact that this is a widespread problem and I know that the regulators are made of cheap plastic that will not hold up to the repetitive motion of windows being rolled up and down. The customer service lady then asked, What is it that you are asking Chrysler to do? and I said, You are going to fix my windows. This is a serious security problem as someone could easily break into my car. After she asked me a bunch of questions and put me on hold several times, she then came back and said they were going to expedite the problem and give me a case number and have someone call me. I hope they follow through and actually make the repairs. I will throw a fit if they try and make me pay one penny. I will not do it!

I purchased a 2010 Jeep Compass in April 27, 2012 with 27,000 miles at the time of purchase. I fell in love with the car. I asked the GM for a Carfax. I did not get the Carfax until after I purchased the car. After I purchased the car, the next day, when I drove the car home, the gas gauge was not working. I called the GM, I took the car back, put it in the shop for a week, then the gas gauge was fixed. After that, the engine light came on, which they fixed. Three weeks later, it was back in the shop as there was a knocking under the car and the engine light came back on.When I picked up the car, they said that they had to replace the sign section. On June 12, the car was back in the shop as it was still having the knocking noise under the car. I reminded the supervisor of the noise and he said that he did not hear anything. On July 4 through July 30, Don Jackson had my Jeep for 30 days because the air went out. When I received my car back on July 30, the knocking noise was still there. The GM informed me that the car isnt new.I took my car to Don Jackson Jeep on September 17, 2012. I had an appointment to get my car serviced. I stayed at the dealer from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM. The tech named Michael came out and informed me that the owner and the GM are working to get me another car, that there is something wrong with my car, that I can drive the car home and they will call me back on that evening - there was no call back.I called them on Friday, September 21, to see what is going on. I left a message but there was no answer. I called again that Monday, September 24. I learned that Michael no longer worked there and I still have not received any call back from them. I called again on September 25 and 26, left messages for the GM of Don Jackson Jeep to call me back today, September 27. Still, no answer.I have received 3 letters stating I was denied credit for a car loan. I did not agree or authorized their credit application and Don Jackson Jeep is sending my credit application to a different finance company. My credit score has dropped due to their inquiries and I recommend that I get a car to replace my lemon car with equal or greater value without a cost to me. Please feel free to contact me.

I have a 2015 Jeep Rubicon with 30K miles. I have the Life time Mopar protection, which in the case does me no good. The Jeep stalls about 2 times a week. I have brought it in for this twice now and they say they cannot find anything wrong because when is stalls it does not send any codes to the computer. I called the factory and they said they can not do anything. At this point I am very frustrated and they cannot replicate the problem. I am not sure how much effort they put into it. I am no afraid of sending my daughter off to college with this Jeep. It is a really nice vehicle and cost a lot. Not sure what to do now.

I love my Jeep Patriot. It is extremely reliable, and in wonderful condition. Since my car is front wheel drive, it is common for my front tires to skid in the rain if going at a fast speed. I love the color of my vehicle, and the shape of it. The trunk of my car is very spacious, I am able to fit a lot of things back there. Also, the back seat of my car is spacious. I enjoy having cloth seats because it is hot where I live, and leather seats would burn me. The only complaint I have in regards to my vehicle would be concerning the middle seat in the back row. It is uncomfortable to sit in that seat because there is not much space to put your legs. Sometimes I wish the car was a little more technologically updated, but other times I love the simplicity of my car. Less technology, less problems.

I purchased my Jeep back at the end of August. Off and on, a “electronic stability control service” light would come on. I took it into the dealership and it was diagnosed as a vacuum leak. However, the part they needed was backordered and they didn’t know when they would get it. Although still running and driveable, they could not release it back to me for safety. Since it was under warranty, I was able to get a rental, but only for five days. Only could customer care extend that time period. I waited it out as long as possible driving the wife’s car until it became an issue. I called customer care to make sure I could get the extension and was told a case manager would call me back. 3 weeks later and numerous phone calls, still not a word from customer care. Returned the rental and had to pay the majority out of pocket. Still no Jeep and customer care is silent. Now stuck with a rental car bill for a month old vehicle under warranty with 1,000 miles. I call B/S on that one. I’m pretty sure I’ll be trading in my Jeep if I ever see it again. These guys have terrible customer service and done paying for it.

My son purchased a used 2011 Jepp Liberty with the sky slider roof in 2017.
My son purchased a used 2011 Jepp Liberty with the sky slider roof in 2017. The car was in excellent condition when we purchased it in 2017. Low miles, clean and in great running condition. However no one ever notified us of the horror that was about to happen with the sky slider roof. As cool as it looks and opens, the roof is a piece of garbage. One warm summer night my son decided to open the roof to get some fresh air in the car only to find once he got home that the roof was never to close again. We tried and tried but to our dismay the roof would just not close. SO then the next step was to call Jeep. We just about got laughed at on the phone, with the service men telling us they no longer make the parts for the 2011 Jeep Liberty and basically we were screwed. Hmmm a 2011 and no parts. How can you explain that. Now what do we do with this car??? We can not sell it, we can not trade it in, we ARE STUCK!!! Now we have contacted an auto body shop that can possibly take a roof from a Jeep Liberty with the same sky slider roof, that was in an accident and put it on my sons vehicle.... for $3,000 dollars. So now, my son still owes $7,000 on the car and we HAVE to invest another $3,000 just so he can drive the damn car. I will never ever buy another JEEP in my life. This car has been nothing but a headache and the Jeep dealers are horrific people.

We bought a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The Stabilizer shock went out at about 6,000 miles. The rear end went completely out at 12k miles. Never been off-roading either. Been at the shop for two months now. Cannot get parts. Keep getting the runaround and parts not expected for another two months. Got a Wrangler rental, stabilizer shock went out at 6500 miles on the rental... I wish I could get my money back. I do not recommend them at all.

Do not buy a Compass. 2.4 litre motor burns 1qt of oil per 2000 miles and that meets Jeeps criteria for a good motor. Back up camera worthless if car driven on other than dry pavement and no back up sensors. Gears 8 & 9 will not maintain speed even on flat roads. Rear window defroster fails to clear window as melt builds up on the wiper making it worthless. Snow slush and mud build up on the tire causing all wheels to become unbalanced. Who pays for a at of oil every 2000 miles and why isnt that fact listed in specs? My second Jeep - first and last. What car would you buy knowing itll use a at of oil every 2000 miles? No support from Jeep and a sad sad car the Compass is.

My 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a piece of junk. It only has 70,000 miles. Over the last few years I have put all new brakes twice! All new tires, 2 radiators, complete computer panel that blew and almost killed my son and I. A new thermostat... etc! DO NOT BUY A Dodge! I drive 2 miles to work. Terrible car! Service charged me 900$ to replace the radiator.

When my son was overseas, I took his Jeep Patriot in for recall work. I provided my phone number so they could contact me when the work was completed. Since then I have been pestered by a third party company who wants to sell me maintenance on the vehicle. I tell them I never owned the car and they say they will take me off the list but continue to call. I never gave Jeep permission to sell my private information to 3rd parties.

My 2013 Jeep with 20,000 miles which I owned for 1 year has the 4 wheel system lock up. The dealership has my vehicle for the past 3 weeks and it is still not repaired. I was told that Chrysler has a problem doing repairs until all parts are tested and then will fix needed parts as Chrysler feels necessary. It has been over a week for parts to be sent to dealership. I am patiently waiting to hear from dealership. I paid over $46000 list price for vehicle and Chrysler is in no hurry to repair plus no vehicle was given to me to use during this period. Chrysler is not responsible for your transportation during repair and the dealership did provide me with a vehicle. I love the truck but will not buy another Chrysler product with this lousy customer service program. DISGRUNTLED!!!!!!!

I bought my Jeep Patriot new off the lot. In fact I bought one that wasnt even on the lot. They had to ship it in from up country. I fell in love with the look and feel of it as soon I saw it. Ive put 90,000 km. on it which is a little more than normal and I havent had one bad experience with it yet. As long as you dont count going to the dealership for maintenance. But I solved that too. I just do it myself now. I obviously cant do everything myself but I do the majority. Ive always wanted a Jeep, but could never afford the $35k price tag. That is until they made the Patriot. Its still the same old Jeep style and attitude but with a little more road etiquette behind it. I know I wouldnt be taking it rock crawling, but since Ive modified to its max, I can go just about anywhere. Through rivers, anywhere you take your F-150, Nissan Xterra, Dodge Tacoma, Ill be right there beside you. Im 110% satisfied with my Jeep, and I wouldnt trade it now for anything.

Vehicle Check Engine Light comes on and Vehicle loses power. This occurred on a Highway at 65mph, the CEL came on while on cruise control. At that moment the vehicle decelerated from 65mph to about 40mph with no notice. This was an unsafe condition for all occupants of the vehicle including a 16 month baby. The vehicle was almost struck by an Semi truck from behind, who had to lock its wheels to avoid a collision. This will be the 10th time the CEL was been illuminate, but this was the first time for an incident of this manner. The manufacture and dealership seems uncaring of the event and process to make the vehicle safe.

Bought a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in July of 2021 for $63,000. Within a few months rust started to form on top of the rear bumper around the mounting bolts and streaming a rust stain around the rear steel bumper. The dealer declined repairs so I contacted Jeep customer service and opened a case and claim. They also denied the claim stating the rust was from outside influence whatever that means. I am furious that they would let a simple repair like this leave a customer furious and hating the car because of this. There are several others online with similar issues and a class action suit has been launched. My theory is it shouldnt have to come to this when paying a TON of $ for this car. I am still willing to speak to Jeep about coming to an amicable outcome.

I leased a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk in February 2018. 2 months later I had to take it back to dealer for the paint peeling. Of course they were asking me stupid questions... Maybe its the sun?? Maybe its from a carwash... really??? Its a defect.... THEN... it started jerking. I would come to a stop sign or a red light and it would jerk upon acceleration. One time I actually thought someone had hit me from behind. Took it back to dealer... can’t find anything wrong... Then last month I took it to another dealer... they found a cylinder misfiring... yeah sounds safe to me. Started doing it again after getting the car back for 3 days. Dropped it off again and they once again find nothing wrong. I will NEVER buy another Jeep product. I just want OUT Of this lease... Oh, and by the way... I have 8800 miles on it.

I purchased a new Jeep Patriot in June of 2010. I used the car to commute to work for about 10 months before changing jobs to work from home. For four years, the car was driven very little and at the time of this review it has less than 33k miles on it. I noticed a loud noise anytime the clutch was not engaged so I took it to the dealership. It turns out vehicle, at 33k miles, needs a new transmission, and of course, the powertrain warranty expired 4 months ago. Linda from Jeep customer services fully appreciates my concern particularly regarding the expense ($4800+). She appreciates the opportunity to review your request, but... you know how the rest goes. My recommendation is not to fall in love with these cars, and definitely dont purchase from a company that doesnt stand by their product.

Bought the car in 2003, a year old. I wanted a good road car for work and a Jeep for weekends. This car was and is both. Very little trouble. 160,000 miles on original motor and transmission. A few minor problems but overall a great car. Really a great highway car and also great for camping. If the weather is really bad the dog and I can sleep in the back. I am writing because I see that Land Rover has a line of dog accessories. I rescue old, sick dogs, no one else wants. They are nice dogs and we have a good time. As they get old it gets harder for them to get in the Jeep. I cannot find a ramp that they like. I put cheap AstroTurf in the back and would not mind buying a mat that fit. I guess that is it. Happy customer.

This vehicle has a Mercedes 6-speed manual transmission, which you would assume would be an excellent transmission. It completely failed with slightly over 60,000 miles on it. No one will rebuild it due to the cost of tools and parts, so a new transmission from Jeep is the only solution. Chrysler basically told me to go away, as they had no intention of helping me with the problem. Whatever happened to that legendary Jeep that was bomb-proof and ran forever? This vehicle is trail rated - think I want to take this piece of junk on a back road in the Colorado mountains? Chrysler has no pride in its vehicles. Any wonder why they went into bankruptcy?

I bought my 2010 Jeep Liberty the later part of October 2013. I was extremely happy. It drove great. I loved the looks. It was very roomy, and comfortable. The beginning of December 2013 the alarm system will go off for no reason. The dome lights will come on for no reason, then go out. And a couple of days ago the engine started acting like its going to die, then its reeves back up. Today December 13, 2013, I was taking my daughter to school. I approached a traffic light that was red and cars were stopped. I began breaking, slowing down. When I was about 50 feet from the stopped car in front of me the engine reeved up like I had stomped the gas. It lunged forward causing me to rear end the car in front of me. My daughter will be 16, and was sitting in the passenger seat. Upon impact she lunged forwards striking her forehead on the dash board. My lower back is killing me. The woman I hit was not injured. Was wondering if this has happened to other owners? And if there was a defect in the jeep?

My Jeep Liberty 2005 all of a sudden would not start. My husband, who is a mechanic, researched the problem and tried to buy the part from our local dealer. We were told that the part was not serviceable and we would have to buy a re-manufactured steering column for $800.00 + core charge. Catch was that over 800 people were ahead of us on a waiting list. We researched online and, thanks to my husband, found the part needed. It was an ignition actuator pin that was under $40.00. It solved the problem. $800.00 vs $40.00, not a question. For others out there, the part number is 924-704.
