Jeep Automobile Troubleshooting
If you're looking for help fixing your Jeep Automobile, look no further! Our comprehensive Jeep Automobile Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.
Aftermarket Alarm removal
This kind of surprisingly common repair only happens when the owner of a car gets a bit too ambitious. It goes like this: A car owner tries to install an aftermarket alarm, tapping into their car's circuits to power it. However, that then takes power from something else in the car and makes other systems fail (or even kill their battery.) Typically, this alarm winds up needing professional removal, and the car needs repair. This also sometimes happens with car stereos.
Oil changes
Every 5,000 kilometers or so, you need to change the oil in your car to keep your engine in the best possible shape. The reason is simply that dirt and debris build up in a car's oil over time, making its ability to lubricate your engine properly decrease. It's one of the most basic jobs you can learn how to do in an auto mechanic program. Not only that, but having records of frequent oil changes means your car is considered more valuable when you sell it. Some shops will even put a sticker on your windshield reminding you of when the next best time to do so would be.
Tire repairs and changes
Without good, inflated tires, you lose speed, control, and fuel efficiency, hence the need to get them patched if there's a leak (for example, if you run over a nail), or replaced if they're too worn. Better to replace them than risk a blowout on the road, which could lead to a major accident. It’s so important that an auto mechanic, you'll be trained to notice tire issues when a customer comes in for other matters, to address the problem before it starts.
Brake work
We all know why brake work is important, especially because a quarter of all Canadian car accidents are caused by a failure to stop. Repairs can take the form of replacing brake pads, which naturally wear down as you use them, and aren't too costly to fix. This type of repair may also cover brake lines, disc, drum, and rotor repair.
The Ignition System
A car's ignition system includes its battery, starter, and the ignition itself. If they aren't working, the car won't start or might end up stopping in the middle of the road. Luckily, swapping a battery out is simple.
The Electrical System
Along the same lines as batteries, other electrical components in your car that commonly need replacement are fuses and light bulbs. Luckily, these repairs can usually be done at home, and you just need to make sure you've gotten your hands on the right fuses or light bulbs.
Spark Plug replacement
Spark plugs are a small part that can cause huge problems. Their job is to ignite the fuel in your engine, helping it start. The plugs themselves are cheap and can be replaced on your own. However, if installed incorrectly (or if you just don't get them replaced in time) they can cause damage to your car, so you're going to want a pro to take care of it.
Fuel Cap tightening
Loose fuel caps are actually the main reason why the "check engine" light in a car comes on. Not getting them fixed will cost you in the long run, because it'll make your gas mileage go down (meaning you burn fuel faster and need to fill your tank more often)

I pulled out of my parking spot while gently accelerating the gas pedal when my 2009 Jeep Liberty shot out of control. I attempted to break however, I was unable to stop the vehicle despite taking my foot off the gas pedal. As I was coming upon a busy intersection, I contemplated bailing out. Rather than doing so, I put the vehicle into neutral and pulled the emergency brake then turned the vehicle off. Once I was calm, I turned the vehicle back on, noting again unintended acceleration with the electronic throttle control light blinking. I eventually had my car towed to a dealership where they said they need to replace the throttle plate but were uncertain why this occurred. I contacted Chrysler and told them the issue and my persistent apprehension in driving this vehicle again. They reassured me they would not release it if it was not safe to drive. Although I was unharmed, I fear that this vehicle is unsafe to drive. After reading numerous similar reports, I am appalled that situations such as this continue to occur with this make of vehicle.
I own a 2010 Jeep Liberty with the sky slider roof- reason I bought the car! It is broken & Jeep has stopped making parts to fix! Shame on Jeep for not supporting their product! I have contacted Jeep but they tell me to look in salvage yards- REALLY? I have searched for parts to no avail! My vehicle is 8 years old, low mileage & in great shape except for the main attraction- the sky slider! Therefore making the car worthlessness!
I own or I should say paying to own my Jeep. I have had it for 3 years. So far it has been dependable. Not a fan of how the transmission works. It shifts but not always when it needs to. Been that way since the day I bought it. Since I have had it we have not had any real expensive repairs. We had to take it to the dealership to have a wheel sensor replaced. Other than tires and a realignment its been trouble free. I would recommend a Jeep Compass.
2017 Jeep Renegade - Received a tiny chip in windshield, parked car in garage. Was going to take to repair shop for seal injection and found a 6 inch crack extending from small chip. AND replacement windshield is back ordered for two months AND cheapest one is $800. WOW! Maybe buying a Jeep was a mistake.
I buy Jeeps and have had four in my life. Its a fun car to drive and its sexy too. It keeps the cool in style look and sense cars are so expensive today costing more than the lower 80% of Americans even make enough money to pay to own. This one is a little better or easier to buy. One problem is the transmission on all four of my jeeps breaks down after the 3500 mile warranty expires and its a major fault in jeeps.
Brand new car broke down - New car overheated in the week it was to be repaired! During this time, no one even apologized and offered to give me another car in return! Friday, I took it and it turned out that the cause of failure has not been arranged and the car overheats again! I depend on my car, and a week I had to sit home and not work! I do not know now how long do I have to wait! I called customer service, Jeep and nothing good has happened! Please help! I am paying now for what I don’t have!
I purchased my 2008 Jeep Liberty in 9/2011 - 18,000 miles. I have had consistent problems with the sky slider roof, which is now being held on by duck tape. It will not close at all. Sounds like Im in a tunnel driving. The noise is deafening. Its came off track before and I got it back on track, but now it wont close or open or nothing so using duck tape is my last resort. I cant afford the ridiculous price of getting it fixed. Tempted to glue it shut. This is very annoying and not my first time as a jeep owner but it will be my last. Someone needs to do something. This could cause major damage to anyone driving behind me as it has come close to flying off. I cant get it to close at all and now I have water damage beyond repair to my interior. So much for jeeps.
I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty with a 3.7 engine. Last month, I had to put in over 1800.00 in engine repair because of carbon build up on the cylinders and valves. Since the time of this repair, I have been digging into this issue and have found out that Jeep is aware of this problem but has chosen not to address it. 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. They also admit (unofficially) that there is a problem and my Jeep is one of many that this issue has and is happening. If you are having or have had this issue also please send me an e-mail
I purchased a 2017 Jeep Renegade in April 2018. The car died on me and shut itself down while in motion 3 times. The car was diagnosed with a fuel pump issue. I have now been without my vehicle for 3 weeks and the part will not be released for at least another 3. Jeep will not provide me with a loaner or rental until my vehicle is repaired and if I pay for one myself I wont be reimbursed. So basically buying a Jeep with a manufacturer defect is just my bad luck. Customer service at Jeep has been condescending and frustrating. I will never again buy a Jeep and will inform everyone of my problems with the car and the company.
I own a 2005 Jeep Liberty Sport. I have had to replace window regulators at least 5 times. Usually the dealership took care of it but I had to pay for a few. And now, in 2013, the last one replaced has broken again. But this one was already replaced by what I was told was the improved window regulator. But just like the old ones, it had about a 2-year life span. But the dealership only gives out a 1-year warranty. Just for this reason, I do not recommend a Jeep Liberty unless the window regulators have been upgraded from the cheapest plastic to metal.
JEEP PATRIOT 2008 many suspension problem control arm tie rod, turn signal blinking fast and return to normal. It does this in wet or very damp periods, just received a notes for from FCA front and rear crossmember for certain 2008 -2012 Dodge Caliber Jeep Compass and Patriot for severely corroded P.S Be very vigilant with having your windshield change. Make sure that they dont damage the paint like they did to me and I have a rust problem.
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.
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. Can you imagine to replace 2 engines before it hits 50,000 miles. A complete disaster and failure for the so called JEEP.
Bought new 2014 Jeep Patriot. This vehicle was operated according to break in options in Jeep manual. The check engine light came on at 800 mi. Jeep was taken to dealer and light turned off. Mechanic stated that there was a BULLETIN? I left with the Jeep. Again at approx. 1500 mi. check engine light came on. Jeep was taken to dealer and light was turned off. The explanation was they had no idea what was causing the problem. A Chrysler REP he said? was at the dealer and told me the engineers were working on the problem? I told them I bought the new car for peace of mind not for worse problems than I had. The REP told me to drive it and dont worry. I am 66 YOA, have had heart surgery and need a vehicle that wont strand me or cause me undue stress. I decided to purchase a different 2014 Patriot. I asked the Jeep customer service for help and was blown off after several contacts. I was told that We fix problems, not help people buy new cars. The personnel at Jeep lied to me several times and played games with my complaint. I was referred to three different case mgrs. All I asked was for help with Tax and registration fees that I had paid twice in less than a month. I intend to somehow find a contact for someone in management. These people are on a pedestal and are hard to contact. This attempt at peace of mind has cost me thousands. I need HELP.
Intermittent power and performance issues @30000 kms. Disinterest from dealership because fault not present when vehicle presented and onboard computer not programmed to store faults. Had to put up with problem till local mechanic discovered split in turbo hose. Microprocessor fault resulting in no headlights, no wiper/washers, no turn indicators. Dealer offered appointment to investigate in 3 weeks. No diagnostic assistance offered to local mechanic. 140000kms lower control arm ball joints on front suspension dangerously worn. Quoted $1400 plus labor to rectify. I have owned many vehicles and never had ball joints fail at this mileage.
I travel a lot and had my oil changed out of state. Come to find out the dealership didn’t seal my oil filter properly and has been dripping oil. I contact the dealership in Albany Ny to only find out they want me to drive 3 hours to have my oil changed there again. First off why would I go back when they did it wrong the first time. Secondly it’s a 3-hour drive with dripping oil. So I contact Jeep directly only to find out there is absolutely nothing they can do for me. Seriously, I have had owned other cars and dealerships have always been great offering any help in anyway. All I’m looking for is 1 free oil change so I don’t have to pay $150 in a month for 2 oil changes. I’m really starting to rethink buying a Jeep. Especially knowing how they cant help me at all. They couldn’t even get a hold of the dealership to even speak to them. That right there should tell you how great they are. If I could have given it a zero or even lower I would have.
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.
I have a 2006 jeep commander. I bought it 2 years old from dealership. I am experiencing a problem. When I go through the smallest of puddles, my belt must slip and I lose my ability to steer properly. Like having to power steering. I have brought it to my mechanic and have now brought it to jeep. No one not even jeep knows how to fix this. There has been references made to an undercarriage shield, yet jeep says my car doesnt have one made for it. The service department told me to avoid going through puddles at all costs. Do you know how impossible that is when it rains. So I have a Jeep Commander and I cant go through puddles.
My 2004 Jeep Liberty keeps stalling. While driving, the jeep stalled and would not become idle. This was right in the middle of a busy intersection, with our kids in the jeep. We were told by a Jeep dealership that the engine computer has shorted out, and needs to be replaced. The cost is $1,100.00. They do not offer a new computer, only a rebuilt one that is available through the dealer.
I would like to let it be known that Jeep compass is very unsafe. I went for an oil change to find out my steering wheel is ready to go out of control. The Jeep is bought on 2008 and only driven to and from work. The local driver said it’s loose and want to charge me over $1,000 to fix not only that has terrible blind spot which is unsafe. I had a Caviler for 13 years and never had something like that happen. There should be a manufacture recall.
Was my Jeep painted at 4:45pm on a Friday? And the BBB is useless - First said, I love my Jeep and want no other car. This complaint is solely on shoddy workmanship and inspection practices. At purchase, I did notice bumpy paint on the door hinges and on one hood hinge, I was not concerned at time; I was excited to get my Jeep. My boyfriend made the comment that I need to get it looked at because he thought these were air bubbles and would eventually begin to flake. Well, one of them finally flaked; I took it to the dealer. I had seen a Jeep just like mine the week before with the same paint flaws. It happened to be the same color as my Jeep so I thought it was a defect in that particular paint color. Well, the dealer said it was rust and they have seen several vehicles in multiple colors with this same issue. They said the factory painted over rust, rust?! The dealer took photos and submitted them to corporate with estimates and was shot down each time. At one time I asked my contact, “Since I brought my Jeep in at just fewer than 50K miles, you think they (corporate) may be stalling for me to hit the 50K?” He said it does make it harder to get things done “after the 36,000” is up, but we will see. Well, I guess since it is my fault that the paint finally flaked after 36,000 miles, the Chrysler Corporation does not feel they are in need of fixing something that should not have left their factory floor in the first place. I even shelled out $3K+ for the lifetime service and power train warranties, still nothing. No wonder people hate buying American goods. Our eyes for detail stink especially if you get an inspector at 4:50pm on a Friday reviewing what is about to be shipped to a sales floor. I will be submitting this complaint to the BBB, and various consumer watchdogs. Thanks for your time in reading this. The above letter is what I e-mailed to Chrysler yesterday and it was probably scoffed at because as I contacted the BBB today, via my phone, I got this automated message that told me that Jeep was one of the dealers that did not participate in the BBB’s Auto Line Program and that I should consult my owner’s manual or press 1 for the directory of the auto service manufactures, **? Companies can choose if they want to receive BBB complaints or not? I thought the BBB was there to help resolve the issues and instead it is directing me back to the corporation that does not want to resolve the product defect in the first place? Attorneys, possible class action suit as I have seen and heard of other Jeeps with this issue?
I am 65 years old, and purchased a 2007 Jeep Liberty on June 12, 2014. I had no idea of the fuel tank installed behind the rear axle. Prior to purchase, I had done a CarFax report that revealed no recalls. Shortly thereafter I received a notice of recall on the trailer hitch and waited 9 months for the replacement hitch to be available and had it replaced at the Chrysler dealership. No one ever told me about the gas tank mounting behind the rear axle and that 75 people had been burnt to death in rear collisions. Now I am stuck with a vehicle I still owe $8000 on and no one wants to buy. It is sad that our National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler dont care about our safety and that a band aid of a trailer hitch could protect lives from a fuel tank explosion in a rear end collision over 40 mph.
Bought a brand new Jeep Overland and the brakes went out on the highway, almost cost me my life shortly after Chrysler recalled the brake booster. All four 20 inch rims also started to pit but Chrysler would not replace. All in all it is a very sharp looking vehicle inside and out but thats all you get as Chrysler does not stand behind their product. There are number of other things that have also gone wrong with the SUV but I wont get into detail. You have been warned. Stay away from this company if you can!
I wanted to write and ask if anyone else has had a problem with their Jeep Liberty suddenly catching fire. I had this happen to me for no apparent reason. No warning lights, no strange sounds, nothing. I was driving along and LUCKILY a driver behind me honked his horn and flashed his lights to get my attention. I came to a stop at a stoplight and thats when smoke and flames started to come out of the vents and fill the interior of the Jeep. I pulled off the road into a convenience store parking lot, jumped out and ran inside. The fire department arrived in less than 5 minutes but my Jeep was a complete loss. I have attached the pictures to show the aftermath. THANK GOD that I escaped but sadly I was left with a pile of ash that my insurance company would only pay a depreciated value for the remains...
I purchased 2013 Jeep Patriot Latitude in January of 2013. Since the car was purchased, I have had nothing but problems. The first issue was that the windshield wipers kept turning on by themselves. I took the car back to the dealerships service department only to be told that a star case was made. No resolution. The second issue that occurred was where the car completely stalled out at 10 MPH which nearly caused a terrible accident that could have injured myself and my 9 year old daughter. I had to turn the car off, wait and then turn it back on. The car stalled again. After 20 minutes of waiting, the car began to drive as normal. I took the car back to the dealership AGAIN. The service manager kept my Jeep for the entire day (keep in mind that they do not even issue rentals) and called to tell me that ANOTHER STAR CASE was made.After my third visit for the stalling issue and for the windshield wipers, the dealership finally decided to change the wipers relay switch which seemed to stop the problem. After 5 visits for the stalling issue, there still has not been any resolution. I have contacted Jeep over three times, via phone and by the email on the site and still have yet to be contacted from the representative in one business day. I am furious that I cannot get any type of satisfactory service. I will NEVER purchase another Chrysler product. I have began exploring other options for a new vehicle which is sad being that I am a single father who just needs reliable transportation to provide for his daughter. Oh by the way, today is 5/15/15, I had to take my Jeep into the service dealership at 10:15AM EST for yet another diagnostic check.
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 brand new Jeep Renegade has a loud whistle noise coming from window... it is louder than the radio. I asked dealership in Brooksville FL 3 times to fix it. They keep the car all day and at 5 pm they tell me they could not fix it. Remember that I take the day off work because they do not allow me to have a rental. Really bad customer service. Dont ever buy a Jeep.
When I bought this car, nobody told me if I don’t regularly drive long distance on the freeway the soot level will build up and the car breaks down and needs to be towed in for service. My commute is only 5 minutes so I don’t have any need to drive long distances over 60 mph as the car required. I have had it break down three times since 2015. Jeep is very clever at dodging my calls and I can’t get anywhere with them. They have about the worst customer service I’ve ever seen. I’ve been told now three years later the car is not a good match for my driving habits and I have to sell. The value has dropped 23k in the three years I’ve had it. I’ll never buy a Jeep again!
This is my first Jeep after owning only Toyotas, but the last 2 Toyota trucks were nothing but trouble so I made a change and couldnt be happier. I have almost 3000 miles on the Jeep GC, its a blast to drive from smooth ride to awesome features it was worth the change. I had it in to the dealer twice for alarm install and receiving hitch and both visits went smooth. My only complaint is the sales department wasnt that knowledgeable on service maintenance. I will say that problems happen how the Dealer and manufacture handle them can make or break us as consumers on buying there product again, and laws should become tougher so we the consumer are protected.
I have 2 Jeeps. One is a 2012 Jeep Patriot that has minor issues that havent cost a ton. The other is a 2017 Jeep Compass that has had major financial issues recently. I have an extended warranty on the 2017 Jeep as I bought it used. I took it to my local Jeep dealership when it started hesitating and engine lights went on. They claimed it was a spark plug, maintenance issue that cost me over 500 dollars. Then less than 2 months later same issues same lights on. I took it back to dealership and they diagnosed it with a throttle body problem that was going to cost me an additional 700 dollars (not under warranty). I towed it away but had to pay the 130 for the diagnostic problem they should have seen/fixed the first time. My 2012 Jeep has a 4wd light on ever since I took it to same dealership to fix a recall problem. My honest mechanic said the dealership pinched the wires when they fixed the recall problem. I will never buy another Jeep or go back to Newport Jeep for anything.
I have a 2009 Jeep Liberty, 2 weeks after I drove it off the lot I noticed that the heater was not working. Took it in and the heater core had blown. Since I had this Jeep it has blown 4 times!!! The dealership (Suncoast located in Florida) and manufacturer will not help with the repairs. How can the same thing malfunction 4 times? How could they not help with the repairs of a part that has malfunctioned 4 times? I was sold a lemon! And will never purchase another Jeep again.
We purchased a 2007 Jeep Commander less than a year ago. Within the last few months, every light on the dashboard has flashed on and off. When the heat is on, the heat will totally shut off. And now, the widows act like they dont want to roll down and the back door doesnt unlock all the time. We have taken it to the Jeep dealership and paid to find out what was wrong with it. We were told that they didnt know why and they cant find anything wrong with it. So we paid to be told that theres nothing wrong with it and the Jeep is still doing this. Please respond and help me as to what to do with this Jeep. Thank you.
I took the car to Advance to see why the engine light keeps coming on and why the car was blowing heat. They hooked it up and said that was a small leak and that it could be the gas cap. We fixed the cap and went on. After a we drove and the car got to half a tank, the engine light came back on again. Now back to the air conditioner. We have been back and forth with this. I took the car to the place that fixes my Lincoln, and they saw there was a leak coming out of the jeep from the air conditioner. He told me since it was under warranty, to take it to a jeep dealer. I took it to Five Star in Macon, and they said there wasnt a leak. They put Freon in the jeep and made note of what I said. Two days later, the car was hot again. I took the car back, and they said there was a leak and they needed to order the part. They fixed the jeep, and then, it went out again. I had to go out of town and I had to ride with no heat. On top of that, my children had to ride in it the entire time without any air. That is dangerous to anyone and mainly children. I drove around in Atlanta for a week because of the scheduling and being able to come back so they could fix it. They explained that if I got a rental, they wouldnt cover the days that the jeep was fixed. I just dropped the jeep again, and if its not done right again, what do I as a customer do? This is crazy that we were forced to ride in 117-degree weather and then some. As a customer, I am so angry and dissatisfied with the service that I have gotten.
I just bought a 2006 Jeep Commander, love it except for during the recent rain water leaked through my Sunroof and flooded my car with about 1 inch of water on the passenger side. After doing research online I guess this is a normal occurrence with the Jeep sunroof. I think this is ridiculous that due to a design flaw I now have to find someone to clear the blue tube within the sunroof and pay someone to get the water out of my car that Im sure has now damaged the carpet and foam underneath. Ive called Cerritos Jeep, I did not purchase car there, however it is a dealer and no help. How is this my fault??
After purchasing a 2014 Jeep Patriot, we have had issues with the throttle body multiple times. Everything from cutting out in traffic to now accelerating on its own. We took it in to Huntington Beach Jeep who then put 220 miles on our vehicle and stated they could not replicate the issue. I was able to replicate the issue 4 times in 1 day!! By the time I was done with all of the add ons they said I absolutely needed, I paid WELL over sticker price for this vehicle and to have it in the shop 3 times in the last 7 months is ridiculous. I will NEVER buy anything from Jeep again.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee - I just wanted to reiterate what another user has stated about the drivers seat lumbar cracking. I have noticed it cracking fairly regularly, but intermittently - and I have not yet found a fix. The previous user stated that a piece is too short and needs to be repaired. Does anyone have any info for me so I can communicate this to my dealer. Thanks.
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.
I purchased my 18 year old son a Jeep Renegade two years ago. He recently broke down and the Jeep had been at the local dealer’s for almost two months. The dealer, as well as corporate, are stating they do not have the coolant fan in stock and they are not even manufacturing the parts any longer. I have no vehicle and paying a car payment on this. Very unprofessional and no accommodations are being made. I now get a generic email from an escalation person at Jeep Corporate and they are very vague and stated we will get another update on parts in October. Very unsatisfied with my first Jeep purchase and would not recommend to others. I can’t drive the vehicle or even sell it as it does not run.
At least 10 years have gone by with continual complaints about a well known, costly repair for failure of blend doors in heating and cooling blower and failing window motors. At what point does JEEP repair this problem. The piece of equipment used is junk and this is well known and has not been resolved in way too many years. For a part that couldnt cost more than $10 to add to these areas to resolve the problem, this is very sad that they would not fix this and add cost of part to price of car instead of owners having to replace this part that has been known for failure and costing on average $700-$1200 to pull dash to fix blend doors and window motors are min of $50 with you fixing yourself, times the number of them that fail, and all will eventually on power windows. The pieces of cheap plastic used in these areas should be a liability for the manufacturer and they should have been forced to recall these vehicles for this constant repeat, year after year manufacturing of a defective part not intentioned to last.
I bought a Jeep Commander three years ago at this dealership. While it had a current inspection, the tires needed to be replaced immediately. The airbag light has been on since I bought the car. The heating system (and cooling) does not shut off. I was told when I bought it that the heating system was fine.There are no lights on the dash for the heating/cooling system. Now the transmission is acting up. The tack will go very high as it gets stuck in low gear. When I stop the car, turn it off and back on, it somehow must reset itself. My window controls on the driver side door no longer work in the front of the car. The seats are all badly stained. I have had this to a dealer in Warren, PA for repairs, but they have been unable to find the problems. Now, of course, my extended warranty is up and I do not have the funds to purchase another one. This car is a money pit. I love how it drives, but now Im stuck with an unreliable vehicle that I still owe $14,000 on.
Since I purchase my 2010 Jeep Liberty, I have complained from day one about the seat in the driver side making noise and everyone kept telling me it was all in my head. It was fine. They indicated there was no noise. The noise is worse and I went to a new service department and they indicated there is a piece that is missing in the seat belt. Since it is not there, the item is not covered. Really!!! Did you ever think that maybe it wasnt there from day one?? Of course if the piece was there, it is cover but since the piece is missing they will not cover. Nice job, Chrysler.
I took my 04 jeep in for oil leaks from front and rear oil seals. They removed the transmission. Now, the transmission shifts wrong and hard. Also, transmission has a hard time engaging and disengaging. Also, my windows and door locks don’t work again. I put the Jeep up on a rack and found the transmission vent tube hanging torn ground wires that were not disconnected when transmission was removed along with missing tarns oil pan bolts. All this so-called work was done by the Jeep dealer in Hilo, Hawaii.
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.
This is my second Jeep. My 2001 Laredo experienced locking or freezing of the SUV. Very scary, driving down the interstate when your SUV freezes and you have no power or control, no power steering and you have to pray and glide to the side of the inner side of the highway. This happened to me 3 times.I traded it, and bought a 2006 Laredo and thought my problems would be gone. Just the start! With 60,000 miles on it, I have the transmission light going off and the system goes into a slipping out of gear or a revving. I have to shake the gear knob to get it out of the malfunctioning mode! I have read a lot of similar problems. Besides these not-so-scary problems are the following: the seat belt light is on with the ** chime on, the air bag light is on, the check gas cap is on, and my low tire light is on. Believe me, my husband has checked all four tires with the gauge, filled them properly and there is nothing wrong with the tires! I will never ever buy or suggest a jeep to anyone! I hate Chrysler and believe me they are aware of these problems.Today, I am on my way to shop to see what they can or cant do to the jeep. Last time, when I had the tranny light problem, the shop said, Well, it isnt on now! Well, that is Murphys law! It was on all the way down 44 miles to the service shop, but then when the ** jeep is being looked at, the light isnt on. This is a nightmare!
Clock radio in jeep does not work correctly. Every other week it loses time. Time has to be adjusted. Shameful that a simple clock cant keep time properly. Other issues and has less than 25,000 miles.
How about a class action suit against Jeep for the POS CVT transmission that overheats and leaves us all stranded on the side of the road or on the shoulder of a highway where people are traveling 70-75 mph?
My wife and daughter visiting New Mexico. On way home in 2015 Jeep Renegade on the August 25th had check engine light come on and had to tow vehicle to mechanic who look at vehicle reset light and said all looked fine. Next day just outside Colorado Springs engine light came back on, had vehicle towed again to Faricy Boys dealership, which inspected vehicle and found cooling fan relay bad and would have to order part. Now after weekend Monday was assured would have part by Wed. the 30th at which time was told no part is coming and did not know when part would arrive. Now 5 days later speaking with parts department manager telling me I did not give them enough time to locate part and offered no solution but to wait another 2 days.Now my wifes father was being admitted to hospital for heart issues and my daughter starting college that week. With no choice now and could not afford to keep them in Colorado costing already $1200 without food expenses fly them back home to Michigan $850. Now after hours of being on phone with, Im sorry and promises a case manager would contact me which during the whole time even the 60 day case review did someone contact me. The people at Faricy Boys felt really bad and after waiting 2 WEEKS TO GET A PART TO FINALLY FIX VEHICLE, Faricy Boys felt bad and tried to get someone from FCA do the right thing and arrange for shipment of vehicle home.Being on Social Security Disability for terminal illness stage 4 cancer this is really wearing on me. Emotionally stressed out and financially draining. Now again wasting time on the phone told me, Sorry again. We will have case manager call you back which never did. Now I had to pay another $700 to ship vehicle home. Now I was given a number to the office of the president at FCA who was going to supposedly be able to help me recoup some expenses but once again was let down. They have quite the setup with customer service. You will never be able to really speak to anyone of importance. Now after waiting their 60 days for case review they tell me when I called again they did not receive my receipts which I spent another $60 at UPS store emailing and faxing.After resending and calling to make sure they received them which they confirmed they did tried to do the same thing and tell me they did not have them. But during the phone call which like them for quality purposes recorded told her, You sure you do not have them because the other women I spoke to said they were in my case file. Now it was, Oh ya. Here they are. Im sorry. I will again have your case manager call you after review, which I told her the 60 days was up. One of the last times I called they had the wrong case number this time then continued to tell me the only receipt she had was one from AutoZone for $86. Enough is enough at this point I was like and this women sympathetic sorry sorry. I would be happy to just get reimbursed for $850 airfare and $700 shipping.After all this I have yet to receive one phone call from FCA to do the right thing. I have been a loyal customer for more than 20 years and currently lease 2 vehicles but they are the last. This 2 dollar part which they did not have is all because this Jeep is made in Italy. They had to take it off assembly line. What a joke. No parts for a vehicle they have been making for several years, and the big thing was always, Im sorry. This part is on back order. You have to wait your turn. This whole time I tried to get a loaner car. They would not even do that for me. Had to cancel plans going anywhere for holiday weekend, would not even help with loaner. Shame on you FCA. Shame poor customer service. I was hung up on, lied to. Poor way of doing business.
All four lift plates failed (between 2009-2011) on my Jeep 2006 Liberty and I had to have them replaced (lift plates broke and my windows would not stay up, I was required to repair the defective parts). I received a letter from Chrysler saying they had an extended warranty to cover the lift plates (no mileage restriction, good for 7 years from vehicles in-service date) and that repairs were entitled to reimbursement. I submitted all of my receipts and required information to Chrysler. After much back and forth with the customer service reps from the Jeep customer assistance center, I was informed that they would not reimburse any of my costs associated with the lift plate repairs (total cost out of pocket for the four windows $717.85). No explanation was given as to why my claim was rejected despite my continued requests. My last request for a detailed explanation was filed about 2 weeks ago and I still dont have a response.
Jeep Commander 2007 Stalling Problem for 4 Years: The Commander will start stalling 1st time after 30,000 work is completed. It will stall once every two weeks or so and escalate to several times a day. When I take it in for service, unless they can duplicate the issue, they make us take it back. So, we are, basically, driving it until it will stall daily. We have nearly (my wife and my daughter) been in two accidents due to the stalling, with cars coming at us in excess of 60 miles per hour. Eventually, we will get to the point that it will stall and all the lights will cut off and it will turn back on while driving on the highway at 55 miles per hour. We have filed 2 suits with Chrysler ** and **. They are this point putting the pressure on our service company, Prince Frederick, MD Jeep, and they have done everything they can. Chrysler is acting as if they have never heard of my situation and the danger they are putting my family in. However, I can find investigations on my year and model on Consumer Affairs and USDT Investigation EA07-007 and PE07-009 as well as a ConsumerAffairs.com report dated 5/01/07 pertaining to this matter. We are so worried as what to do. I can not drive with my daughter and my husband drives all the way, too, into DC from Dunkirk, MD and I worry about his safety. I just want a safe vehicle for my family and they use us as there guinea pigs to drive until it is in a bad state and very frightening. We have lots of hills and people drive very fast in this area which makes it more frightening to stall. My daughter is too afraid to get in the Jeep and she cried last time we nearly were hit on our way to take her to school. Please help us. We dont want to trade it in so another family could be hurt and be in this situation or a teenager!
Purchased 2014 (new) Jeep Patriot from Nielsen Jeep/Dodge in East Hanover NJ Route 10. Computer on vehicle failed twice costing us hundreds in rental car fees as well as the inconvenience. The dealer does not cover the rental car and each time we drop the car off we have to wait almost a week before they will even look at it. We are also forced to pay an initial fee to determine that it is in fact a warranty issue. The computer is covered, but not the initial evaluation fee or the rental cars. I would think Nielsen/Chrysler would stand behind their product. We now have a car that is unreliable and we dont know where to turn. Is the computer going to fail again and strand us on a dark road in the middle of nowhere?
The vehicle (2014 Jeep Latitude) is not worth the money. I drove it off the lot and immediately had issues with the transmission shifting hard. Took it back. They said it was because it was new. 16,000 miles later had to put a new transmission in. Today took it in because its still shifting hard and was told All the motor mounts are bad and need replacing. We are still working on trying to do the updates to the computer for the transmission. We will let you know. Never again will I buy a Jeep!! Nothing but issues with the transmission and other stuff. Oh yea I have taken it in many times on the AC not working. You will be driving and all of a sudden it will start heating. They still havent fixed that issue. Nothing but junk and oh yea the power train doesnt cover the motor mounts. Thats 1300.00 that I have to pay outta pocket. This should be on their dime for all the trouble I have had with this piece of crap!!! Dont buy one. You will regret it in the long run!!
The 4-year-old 2008 Jeep Commander has rust and two big spots on the hood. The dealership in CT wont fix it as it’s not under warranty. So, if you expect your paint to last more than 4 years, you may want to look at other cars.
My Jeep Compass is a nice small SUV. Good on gas but dont recommend driving it on turnpike in bad weather. I took my car on the turnpike Thanksgiving day. The wind was bad that day. I was scared and nervous. The wind had my car swirling. I need me a bigger suv.
With less than 3,000 miles my trans (2018 Jeep Compass Limited 4x4) malfunctioned while on the expressway. I lost all power to the engine. Thankfully I was able to exit safely. Towed for service to the dealership. Valve body harness replaced and said it was good to go. Driving home from the dealership it wasnt shifting correctly and eventually had no gears at all and need to be towed back the next day. My car got a new transmission. The next problem was the front windows wouldnt roll down. Back for service, a corroded module inside the door was the problem. No explanation as to how or why this happened other than it must of been installed that way. Picked up car the next day and while driving home my HVAC would not switch modes, and the navigation system came up without prompting, returned within 10 minutes from pick up and back in for service. Its been in the repair shop 4x in less than a month and currently in for a week today with latest electrical issue. Thankfully my service department is backing me when I say this car needs to be taken back and Im currently working with my dealership to make this happen. I have zero confidence in its dependability and am afraid to drive it.
Never use this company. Very BAD customer service if you can ever get off of hold waiting for them. Changing their name from Frontier to Vantage is not going to fix them. Had to use the Attorney General’s office of MN to get them to respond and admit all their billing errors.
Ok, I have a few gripes and one really weird scenario for ya. I too have replaced the window motors on each door several times and have the problem code referring to the emission leak that cannot be found on a 2003 JGC. But the weird thing that happened was that my wife walked up to what she thought was her car and unlocked it with the key fob, and when she got it open, she realized that this was someone else’s car. The alarm went off when she opened the door and she could not turn it off using her key fob. Now her remote will not open her car either. Funny, huh? So for the guy near Charlotte, NC with SC tags, thats why your remote doesnt work now! The car still works fine and I think I can reprogram the alarm system even if I have to take it to the dealer. Strange that we could unlock that guys car though. I know there are a finite amount of codes to go around, but what are the odds? Im lucky that mine works still.
The brakes on our 2009 Jeep Commander have been squeaking very loud since we bought it. I have taken it in a few times. And the dealer said its just how they are. I paid for brake inspection to have them tell me that every time. This is our third Chrysler. If this is not taken care of, I will no longer be a customer of yours. I will let my friends and family know. I will try very hard to push a Ford or GM product on them! Thanks. Vince :)
While driving down the freeway in the left lane, about to pass a tractor/trailer and another vehicle plus a tractor/trailer directly behind me, my 05 Jeep Liberty suddenly fully accelerated. As soon as I passed the T/T, I cut to the right and on to the shoulder of the road while breaking and turned off the key. Once my heart stopped racing, I turned the key to the on position and noticed a new warning light. The Electronic Throttle Control according to my owners manual. After about 5-10 minutes, I tried starting it again but it immediately started revving into the stratosphere, so I shut it off and called a tow truck. The next day, my husband went out and it started up fine but he isnt going to run it until its fixed.
I have 2018 a Jeep Cherokee Latitude. Jeep kept cutting off sometimes when I would drive it. When oil gets low motor will shut off. It would stall when making turns. I looked for leaks and didnt find any leaks. I noticed the jeep burns at least 2-3 quarts of oil every 2,000 to 3,000 miles. I called Dealer and Chrysler Corp. They said the same thing. Now I have to fill up with oil between oil changes. Sad, This Jeep burns oil like a old car.
First - I never wanted a Jeep, but my husband came home one day and just like on the ads he said, I bought a Jeep! You did what??? I didnt believe my ears! Without even asking or talking about it!!! And he repeats again with a cheeky smile. Then I realise he isnt joking... I was not impressed! Eventually he got me to try it. Must admit he made a fine choice. Amazing value for money, drives very nice and great fuel economy. Highly recommended. The local dealership (Perth, WA) isnt providing first class after sales experience when it comes to it, but there is no fault I can find with this vehicle. Love the seat warmers too. :)
I purchased a 2014 Jeep Patriot new in July of 2014. In August I had to take it back in because the hood was lifting up and looked as if it were going to come off at freeway speeds. The windshield wiper smart switch also quit working. I was told that the hinges on the hood werent very secure by design at the dealer but they replaced them anyway and it still wobbles going down the freeway and they replaced the smart switch. On November 21st I took it in again because there was a grinding noise coming from the front end. The dealer informed me that I had a defective transmission and they had to order one. On November 24th I took it back to have the new transmission put in and was told that it would be done on the 25th. When I called on the 25th they told me that the mechanic had stripped out the threads on a mounting bolt and had to put a heli-coil in it and it wouldnt be done until the 26th. I called on the 26th and they told me that one of the front drive axles was also defective and they had to order one. They were closed for Thanksgiving on the 27th so I called on the 28th and was told that the part was not in yet. It is now December 2nd and I still do not have a vehicle which I need to do my job so I have not been able to work for over a week!
2017 Jeep (4 Cyl) - Rented one from Enterprise while on vacation and drove it about 200 mi over three days in San Fran and Napa. Flat out not bad but has so little power on hills (drive back roads of Napa/Sonoma that it had less power than the K cars of the 80s which had 110 HP engines). I mean on steep hills, floored you couldnt get more than 25 MPH. Door locks did not work so had to press them down by hand and car had overall cheap feel to it. Would never buy one and if this is what AMC is turning out, its back to the 50s for that car company. Oh, the noise inside is about the same as take off in a 727!
I own a 2002 Jeep Liberty w/ 3.7L/V6 engine. The main issues is the RADIATOR made of combined plastic and aluminum components. I had my faulty radiator replaced 5 times since I bought it due to horrible leaking! This design flaw of PLASTIC components, COMBINED with the leaking the radiator ALWAYS RESULTS to ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO 1) valve gasket busted, 2) coolant mixing into the ignition chamber or within the cylinders, 3) Valve seat problems... ALL causing CYLINDER MISFIRES. The downside... is VERY, VERY expensive as in the thousands of dollars! Radiators hose are also troublesome. There are many issues with Jeeps product and 3.7L engine design, that many in the World wide web consider it a JUNK (SCIENCE). Wondering, they have discontinued the LIBERTY design?What I have observed is the MIXED plastic components also found in its interiors, electronic issues, fan clutch issues, power steering noise issue including rack & pinions, hoses and belts and become easily TOO rotten, I have been upkeep with maintenance: Synthetic engine oil, transmission fluid exchange, Coolant exchange, Rear diff exchange, Air filters, BELTs and tensioner, etc. BUT still it boils down to the Radiator plus minus ENGINE cooling components. FEEL the HEAAATTTTT! LESSON Ive learned. STAY AWAY from a JEEP PRODUCT!
I recently had to have ball joints and rods replaced in my 2008 Jeep Patriot with 43000 miles on the vehicle and finding out from several mechanics and forums that this is a very common problem with this vehicle. Chrysler/Jeep used inadequate parts with little regards to the buyers safety.
Handles well and is solid. I have a liberty limited, get great mileage for the size engine. The company just needs to do a better job for fixing the back passenger window and the drivers seat belt that dont always stay clipped.
I have purchased a brand new 2016 Jeep Latitude. 900 miles in, I notice a high pitch noise coming from undercarriage. When I shift into neutral the sound goes away. I took in to the dealer in fulton missouri for service on the issue. They clearly could hear the noise but the diagnostic machine shows no issues. They called Chrysler corp. Chrysler told them that they were aware of the problem but do not know what it is, they are working on it. They said there is no fix as of now and the dealer has just sent me home with this defective vehicle. Im reporting this because I want others to be aware of this problem before they run down to purchase this vehicle. Basically they want me to just drive it until whatever is wrong breaks all the way down. This is my first new vehicle, Im not sure really what to do. The fulton dealer is willing to take it as a trade in but they are trying to talk me out of that and finally took me to a 2015 with close to 30,000 miles on it as I wonder why someone traded that back in, hmm, maybe it had transmission problem too. They also offered an extended warranty on the problem. My thing is I have bought a brand new vehicle with a problem that more than likely is going to have more problems! Im wondering if anyone has one of these vehicles with the same issue, or perhaps Ive purchased what will become a lemon for sure. Ive seen the transmission problems here on the 2014 and 2015 models. It looks to me like Chrysler has had this problem for a couple of years and I dont understand how they dont know what is wrong with their product. I paid 28000.00 for this vehicle and I will lose a couple thousand dollars if I trade it back in as it now has 1041 miles on it. I wish I would have seen these complaints before I went with a jeep product. The problem is I do like the vehicle, I took a long time to decide on this thing and went with what I liked best. Again does anyone have this vehicle who has not had any problems at all with it. Im willing to trade for exact same one if there is a chance Ive just picked a bad one in the bunch. I do think these corporations should not be able to stick you with a defective product right out the gate. I do understand there is a lemon law, but it has to be in many times for the same thing and as of now there is no record of a repair because they dont know what to repair! Very upset about my first new car experience.UPDATED ON 04/29/2016: My 2016 jeep Latitude is a 4x4. Like I said the high pitch noise goes away if the vehicle is shifted into park or neutral. With the vehicle in park, when I turn the 4x4 knob from auto to snow etc. I hear the high pitch ring shortly as it is switch into diff 4x4 options. Vehicle is still in the Park position. This leads me to believe this problem is in this 4x4 switch. I returned to the dealer to let them know what I had found. They said they would make a note. I also told them I had never in my life taken a vehicle into a mechanic who came out and told me yes there is something wrong with your vehicle but we dont know what it is and still could not believe Chrysler Corp mechanics dont have a clue.Perhaps they should hire me, as I have given them more info on the problem than they have given me. I also told them I have gone to the Ford Dealer here in Fulton and found they have a Chrysler lot in Illinois and are willing to take this vehicle in as a trade on a new vehicle with 3 miles that has no 4 wheel drive options on it. That was my request - get rid of the 4x4 and get rid of problem. Again I would like to know if anyone is having this issue with a 2016 Jeep latitude. I left the Fulton Chrysler dealer and within 20 min or so I was being called by a salesman.Now mind you the salesman calling me is not even the one who sold me the vehicle in the first place. He ducks me when I go in. So salesman calls me and says we dont want to lose your business and to give them a chance before I trade in to ford. I tell them I want a new vehicle with the same low miles. That was 20 miles when I purchased it the first time. I understood I had 1041 miles on this one but I was removing the add on of the 4x4 to a fwd instead. I still wanted the v6 option and they could even drop the 8.0 u connect. These 2 add ons equal a little over 2000 dollars. I was interested in a even trade out. Or they could just purchase this vehicle back from me.Well that statement got a stutter from the salesman. They call me back maybe 45 min later. They tell me they have good news and bad news. The good news is they can even trade for a model that has no v6, no power seat, no 8.0 uconnect. No 4x4. Or they can give me exactly what I want - no 4x4, no 8.0 uconnect, Ill have power seats and v6 engine but it will cost me 2995.00. Oh and they will give me 25000.00 for my trade in. Which I paid 28000.00 for. So Ive lost 3000.00 on the price, Ive dropped over 2000.00 in options and they want another 2995.00 to do the deal. Does not sound like a deal to me. I still have my vehicle and am waiting on Ford Dealer to call with their deal. Still dont know what will happen.
My 2005 Jeep Liberty has faulty window regulators (these are used to operate the electric windows). This is a problem with all Jeep Liberty’s – there are thousands of complaints.It costs 400 to 500 dollars to fix it and the part continues to break over and over. Jeep refuses to issue a recall. I just had one replaced 21 months ago and it has broken again. The window just falls into the door without warning. It is very dangerous.
I have a 2007 Jeep Commander. I have been having issues with not starting/stalling. I can be driving and when I shut it off and then go to turn it back on, it will not start. All I hear is a clicking noise under the hood by the long black fuse box. The lights, radio, etc. all works--it just wont start. This only happens every so often. I have not been able to narrow it down. No one seems to be able to pinpoint what the problem is. I have had so much money wrapped into figuring this out. I went online to try to see if anyone else has these issues. I was amazed at how many complaints of my kind there are. Wow. Jeep is getting away with this. I have been stranded so many times and unable to drive my Jeep Commander.
Simply - I love my jeep. Bought this 06 in 2011, but have never been happier w/ a vehicle before. Ive owned a few, even classics. But my jeep can go anywhere, has the power, turning capabilities, comfort and design as well as the stereo system is awesome. My dogs even love it!!! I love my Commander!!
My Jeep Liberty has been a safe, reliable vehicle that has required only routine maintenance. Its got a great capacity in the rear for its size. Convenient when Ive bought small furniture items. I also like the four-wheel drive. We could tow this car behind our RV, and it would support the lift for my husbands mobility scooter without dragging. However, the seats could be more comfortable.
2005 Jeep Liberty Diesel I need a water pump, water pump gasket and a timing belt. Three weeks and still waiting. IIwas told the parts would be in December 17, 2011! Unacceptable! If I were on a business trip, I would have to leave the vehicle for 2 to 3 months? It isnt 10 years old!
This vehicle we have had been great for us for the last 5 yrs. The only issue is the motor. We had the lifters and rockers replaced under warranty just under the 100 000 miles but they went bad again and we dont have the money to repair it again. The only problem with the 2014 Jeep is the motors have issues that we believe Jeep knows about but have not said anything. I have heard the 3.6 is not a good motor.
I purchase this 2009 Jeep a year and half ago. I have had nothing but problems with it. I had to replace the brakes when the dealer claims they were just replaced and cant forget the rotors, struts in the front, alternator. I went to Virginia on vacation and 50 miles outside of Richmond, I had no power in the Jeep. The Jeep was still running but when you push on the gas, nothing happens. We stood on the side of the road for an hour to let the Jeep cool down and the Jeep started up with no problem. I was going to the Cape and the Jeep stalled again. No lights came on. When we turn on the A/C, the Jeep stopped moving and we had no power at all. I took the Jeep back to Harr Ford and they claim that they couldnt find anything wrong and there wasnt anything wrong with the Jeep. I ask them,then, Why does this Jeep keep losing power? No one had an answer.To Be Continued... going to another garage.
I own a 2005 Jeep Liberty which I bought brand new in Dec 2005. This past weekend it broke down - luckily I wasnt driving on the freeway. I heard a clunk and a police officer was behind me and when I stopped to see what it was he said I heard the loud noise. And he then told me that I wouldnt be able to continue driving and it would have to be towed. So I had to wait for a tow for over 45 minutes and the tow person told me that it was a broken rear suspension control arm and he said that there was a recall on this for 2004 and 2005 Jeep Liberties.So I called Woodhouse in Blair and was informed that because my vehicle wasnt put together in the right state that my Vin# wasnt on the recall list. This is a bunch of B.S. I have purchased Three Jeeps. But I will never again purchase a Chrysler product. They have lost my business forever. If the part is defective it should go for all Jeep Libertys. Just because you dont live in the right state they wont cover it. Chrysler Corporation SUCKS!!! I Hope your corporation goes Bankrupt it will serve you right. And lets hope no one gets killed in an accident that is the cause of your company not wanting to fix something that has been recalled, but they wont fix it because the car wasnt put together in the correct State.
Im experiencing stalling, shuddering and shaking. I was told by a Jeep dealer I need an Electronic throttle control body. Of course they whipped out the cost but not the solution. They let me leave with the car like that. The next day I received a lightning bolt warning signal and the car stalled in traffic jerked forward and continued moving slowing in ongoing traffic. This is a safety issue and I advise other owners with these problems to report them.
I bought my Jeep Liberty Jet in 2014 at 21000 miles, is now 33000 mi. In August I was at the Jersey Shore driving on hwy going 55 mi, car dashboard light up then turned off, lost power. I had no control of acceleration pedal - dropped down to 25 mph, was lucky no cars was behind me. I pulled over to shoulder of road. I turned off car engine then turned back on, it was fine then happened two more times.Another time night interior light came on, didnt go off when I turned off car, did it manually, keyless entry does not work to start car on both keys. I changed battery - first time happened. 2 months after bought car then last month other one dont work. On dashboard gate ajar light does not go off even though flipper glass and lift gate works fine, however I do see when it rains the inside if flipper glass edge inside is wet.When I turn on headlights when dusk outside my dashboard fades out. Bought it to Jeep dealer in Paramus. They said I need to repair TIPM wire and need rear tailgate actuator repair. They said it will cost $1050. Some of these things happened after the recall of the faulty airbags were installed. Also had a misfire #5 code, had it fixed 2 months ago. This car has more issues than Vogue. Hope Chrysler recognizes there are a couple of people on car complaints.com and other website blogs having same problem.Car drives ok but I dont feel safe driving it on hwy. This is my second jeep. I love the car. I buy American Trust in the work but who knows where the parts are being made. Spoke to dealer, lemon law, Jeep complaints, blogged, want to let others know they can be in danger, none of their agencies can do anything about this issue. I have no choice but to pay out of pocket for something that looks like it is a recall/defect especially with the TIPM. Going to get it fixed before I get killed by this jeep.
I have a 2010 Jeep Liberty with less than 50,000 miles. I have had it serviced 3 times. It will drive fine for a while then stall. This is very dangerous. It had stalled on the hwy and once when my baby was in the car.
On August 29, 2012, I brought my 2010 Jeep Liberty (26k miles) to DarCars Jeep in Rockville, Maryland because my Sky Slider would not close. My Liberty was in the shop for 80, yes, eighty days! The shop replaced the Sky Slider two times, Jeep engineers flew out from Detroit, and then the manufacturer of the Sky Slider built a new one on the factory floor. Yay, it appears to work but I am selling it, I refuse to own a car from a dealership that cannot stand behind their product. Not only has Chrysler Jeep refused to take ownership of the defective Sky Slider they are refusing to cover the 77 days I had a rental. So, I pay a monthly car loan for a car I cannot drive then have to pay $2k in rental fees on top of it.I have written letters to Customer Relations (following the warranty guidelines for complaints) only to be told they were transferring my problem to another department. I still havent heard from anyone at Chrysler Jeep. This is my second Jeep - my last Jeep. Jeep has refused to stand behind their product. Jeeps dealership (the face of Jeep to the public) continuously ignored me during the 80 days my car was there. I would have to call three to four times a day to find out the status of my Jeep. When I asked if they could provide me a contact at Chrysler Jeep they said they would handle everything. Who is going to handle my $2k in rental? Single Moms, dont buy a Jeep. Get a car/truck/SUV from a company that actually works for their customer and stands behind their product because if it was up to Jeep I wouldnt have gotten to work every day, my kids to school and their activities.
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.
The Jeep Compass has proved to be good. I have not had any issues with the make or model of the car. The crossover style is good for my current lifestyle and needs. The seats fold in to create extra space for moving or transporting large items. It also allows me to have space and to feel safer on the road because of the size. I dislike the radio that it came with initially. However a new one could be installed easily enough with the proper tools. I also dislike the handles on the backseat doors as they are a little hard to open.
The window regulators on my Jeep Liberty broke for a total of 5 times now, multiple times on the same windows. Jeep is aware of the problem and refuses to do anything about the problem. However, they just love to charge up to $500 to fix the problem for us. Just look at how many consumers have been burnt by this same problem.
I bought my 2017 Jeep Renegade Limited in January 2018. Less than 2 years old.. My problem started around 16k miles. (Im now at about 23k). Friday I go in for my 3rd consumption test. Im burning oil. Getting to the dangerous part of the dipstick after 1000 miles, I didnt buy a new car so I have to babysit the oil level in it.. Its not the 1970s! Why should I burn 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles? Other newer cars can go 10k miles between oil changes, I feel duped and cheated. I also think theres something wrong with the low oil sensor, it only comes on when I take extreme turns and doesnt stay on. Im busy with my eyes on the road taking the turn, not watching my dash.. I had to have a passenger point it out to me!
My 2016 Jeep Patriot is 3 months old today. Had 11km on it when we left the lot. 2 weeks ago today we were driving on the highway and touched a button on the nav screen and the screen cracked like a spider web. Jeep is saying its not covered under warranty so Id like to know why I pay for warranty? Im beyond pissed and Ill never buy another jeep again. Wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen? One lady at the dealership thinks the high temps might have caused it as it was 40C at the time.
Cannot drive in rain, are it stalls, & lights inside & out act up, problems with brakes, inside seat parts broke, speed sensors blow abs system!! Problems front ball joints, cvc boots. This have been going for 3 years!!! SICK OF IT!!
I started my 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport to warm it up and after 10 minutes, the gas tank exploded. If you have one, I would sell it now before this happens to you. I will never buy a car with the Jeep name ever again! If my family would have been in it, I would have Jeeps ** right now. They should really be investigated for faulty manufacturing as I hear more and more horrible things are happening to almost every model of Jeep that is out right now.
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.
My car has broken eight days ago, and it was towed to the nearest dealership at that time (Nielsen East Hanover). So far, even after several contacts with the dealership and with this customer service, I have no information what is wrong with the car and why I was not provided with a loaner. This is a leasing car, I am paying for it, and my next bill will come with the same amount, even after these days that I am not using it. I have now to commute my daily 60 miles walking 25 minutes to the train station to catch a train. I have to ask my neighbor to take my child to the day care. I have a hip replacement and have to walk distances that I should not have to... because I LEASE A JEEP!!! I am paying for this leasing!!! The dealership tells me to ask a loaner to the Customer Service. The Customer Service tells me that it is waiting for the dealership to decide on whether they will give me a loaner or not. And yet, no information about when the car will be fixed. Is this the way JEEP treats its customers? Ive never felt so frustrated and disappointed before, to the point that I decided to get a lawyer to help getting my rights.
I want to start off by saying that I come from a family of multiple Jeep owners (husband, mom, dad, brother, mother-in-law, etc.) as we all love Jeep. More so, I was looking forward to purchasing a second vehicle for myself (of course a Jeep) because they have been reliable cars, or so I thought, and I had faith in the Jeep Company. That was until my unfortunate and super expensive experience that has kickstarted my 2021 year. While driving back home shortly after New Year’s Day, my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with only 66K miles, suddenly decided not to turn back on after stopping for gas. Fortunately, I was able to tow it to the nearest Jeep dealership, where I only go to for car service. Since it was the holidays, there was a delay in my cars diagnostic. After 4 days of being at the Jeep dealership, I was finally informed that my fuel pump and wiring had to be replaced for about $1,500 plus tax because nothing that needed repair was covered under warranty. Now, lets add $1,500 plus tax to the total cost that I have been incurring with rental car, stay, food, etc. since my 2015 Jeep, with only 66k miles, stopped working while I was 4 hours away from home. I decided to call the Jeep warranty customer care to get clarification on what is covered in my warranty. After speaking with several customer care agents, they all shared that my fuel pump is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty for up to 7 years or 100K miles, which conflicted with what the Jeep dealership shared. Additionally, I was told that I had trip interruption protection for up to 100K, which would help with all the costs I was incurring being 4 hours away from home. Unfortunately, the Jeep car dealership and the Jeep warranty customer care were not agreeing, which caused additional delays in my car getting fixed. After speaking with various customer care numbers for 2 days that were being provided to me by each representative, it was finally confirmed that my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s fuel pump and wiring was not covered under any warranty. Additionally, the trip interruption plan that I was told I had, was indeed not true. Now I understand that rules are rules. However, this experience has left me with 2 burning questions: 1) How reliable are Jeep cars to break down at only 66K miles? 2) How reliable is the Jeep Company with ensuring proper employee training so that customers are not misled? -Sincerely disheartened by Jeep!
Daughter was in an accident where she said that she gave the Liberty a little gas and it jumped forward. She rear ended a Saturn. She hadnt driven the vehicle much since she was only 16 at the time and I put it off as inexperience. We had a gas cap error appear on the information center and after 2 trips to the dealership, they found out that a hose had a hole worn into it by the wiring loom. I sealed the hole temporarily and cleared the error code. I noticed that when I revved the engine and held at a constant RPM of 2000, it would rev to 3000 RPM and fall to 1000 RPM without any fluctuation of pressure on the gas pedal. When I revved it to 2000 RPM, again it went back up to 3000 and I removed my foot... it did not quit revving. I turned the Liberty off and took the seal off the hose. Same revving pattern. Took to Landers McLarty in Bessemer and the service manager is now aware of the issue. STAR(?) ticket is to be opened with Chrysler.
2012 Jeep Liberty Sky rider roof will not stay closed. I took it back to the dealer and they stated that Jeep no longer repairs the Sky Slider roof. Took it to a repair shop and they told me that they could not find parts as Jeep stop making it and there is no after market. I am stuck with nowhere to go. Jeep/Chrysler should do something to help all the Jeep aficionados who have the Sky Slider roof.
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!
New car under 2000 miles returned to the dealer 4x + for the same issue. Dealer cannot fix and Jeep is not standing behind their product. Talked to a rude sr. escalation manager Patricia at Jeep with the resolution team (**) who told me she cannot help any further and is the highest level of support at the Jeep brand. Dealer stated there is nothing more they can do and reached out to Jeep for help. Getting the runaround by Jeep corp and would never buy another Jeep product again. Will pursue local lemon law and NCDS replacement claim. Truly unfortunate that Jeep does not care about their customers or products. Really hard to recommend Jeep to others and suggest they learn how to treat customers and fix their major quality issues.
I bought this Jeep Liberty six years ago used. The car had a little more than one hundred fifty thousand miles on it. Now its over one hundred ninety thousand miles on it. Great car and good gas mileage. I just got lucky and got a great running vehicle.
2011 Jeep Cherokee Headliner Fire - August 20th I was driving near Maryville, Tn. when the headliner started burning and filled the vehicle up with smoke. I pulled over and jerked the headliner down and saw flames. I was able to get the fire out and get the vehicle home. A lot of things do not work now including turn signals and wipers. New fuses do not help. I called the local dealership the next day and found out that Jim Codgill Dodge in Knoxville did a recall repair on a recall concerning headliner fires. I took the car to Jim Codgill and got the run around even though they did the repairs. They told me I had to call Chrysler. I spent three hours on the phone with Chrysler and finally gave up and went home. End result - nothing has been done to date.
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!!!
Ok, I had an issue with my jeep stalling as I was driving. Theres no noise, it ran quietly, but it just stalled. After a little while, I got it started and I went straight home gassing it to get there, then I parked it. After a couple of hours, I went back out to start it and it fired up like no problem occurred! But the next time I got in it, it started; and it was heading down the road, and it stalled on me again in the middle of an intersection endangering my life! Thank God, I had help after an hour or so; and I got it pulled into a parking lot to be towed later. We were told it was probably the fuel filter or pump going bad. So we forked out $200 to get it changed. Did that change the problem? No. It started up again. I took it down the road and it stalled out again. So with this going on, I did some digging on the internet and found others were having these issues.A lot were saying that the PCM module is bad. So I called Jeep to find out about a recall on the PCM module. They said I had to take it to one of their service places to get verification that this was the issue. They couldnt get it to start and said I needed to change an SKIM module ($375.00). Its more out-of-pocket. The reason the SKIM module got burned out, by what the mechanic said, was because of the power control module. So now that 1 month or so has passed and my daughter has a heart condition and my mother is 3 hours away having quadruple bypass surgery, I dont have a vehicle to get there and be with her. And I finally got a response from Jeep Daimler Chrysler that it isnt under warranty to be fixed. Even though its their malfunctioning part that was put on the vehicle when made, they dont want to be accountable for it. So either we pay the $800.00 for the PCM module or I dont have a reliable safe-driving vehicle. How can manufacturers get away with this?
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.
Its hot in Henderson, 110 in the day time. Sometimes the airflow gets stuck on the foot vent setting and will not cycle up to the vents that blow on your face, Not all the time only some times. Currently the dealer is stumped. Bought the car new in 2013. 35,000 miles on it so still under warranty. Has this happened to anyone else?
We were stopped at a red light when my 1999 Jeep took off by itself. Even with both feet trying to hold the breaks we still ended up going thru the intersection. Very scary. Then about 20 minutes later on interstate the Jeep slowed itself down to 30 mph when we were originally traveling at 75 mph.
No fender for Jeep Patriot in South Africa - Ive been without my car for 5 weeks as West Rand Panel Beaters were not able to find/source a fender in S.A. They have referred me to Albert **, Parts Sales Executive of Chrysler Jeep Dodge Fourways and Ive been told to log a complaint as the part is currently being shipped in from U.S.A. How can a brand as big as Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler not have such common parts in S.A? Im really frustrated. I work for FNB Cellphone Banking and I know what service is and this is a load of **. Can I have a response from the CEO, Director since your managers do not have the time to contact me as I have sent numerous emails with no response for the past 2 days? None of these people bothered to call me!
