Jeep Brings Back Special Wrangler Beach And High Tide Models

Last year we attended a massive event called Jeep Beach, which takes place in Daytona Beach, Florida. The gathering has grown so large, Jeep introduced two special edition Wrangler models in its honor. Those two models, the Wrangler High Tide and Wrangler Jeep Beach, are back for the 2023 model year.
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler High Tide is based on the 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S trim with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine producing 285 horsepower. That power is mated to an eight-speed automatic. This package costs $51,540 (not including a $1,795 destination charge), which is a hefty premium over a standard Sport S ($39,090). But the High Tide does come with a lot of additional content. Most importantly, the High Tide includes the Xtreme Recon Package, a $4,000 add-on that bundles 35-inch BF Goodrich T/A KO2 tires with 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, a 4.56 rear axle ratio, 1.5-inch suspension lift, uniquely tuned shocks, rear hinge-gate reinforcement and tire relocation kit by Mopar, and flared wheel arches. Other High Tide feature include a body-color hardtop, Sunrider Fliptop, LED lights, rock rails, and hood decals.
500 units of the High Tide will be sold as the limited edition Jeep Beach for $54,040. This model is differentiated by body-color fenders, swing gate plaque, 20th anniversary shifter medallion, and Mopar Katzkin embroidered leather seats. "Jeep Beach week in Daytona Beach, Florida, is one of the biggest Jeep vehicle events in America, bringing in more than 200,000 Jeep fans and 20,000 Jeep SUVs in 2022 alone," said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand. "With the Wrangler High Tide and 20th anniversary Jeep Beach special editions, we get to celebrate our customers' passion for beach-ready vehicles during this weeklong event."rnNext year's event takes place from April 22-30, 2023, and both models will likely be on display. Jeep enthusiasts can order the High Tide or Jeep Beach Wrangler in one of six colors: Hydro Blue, High Velocity, Black, Bright White, Punk'n, and Sting Gray.

Purchased this vehicle and discovered its 9 speed transmission did not use 9th gear. After multiple visits to service dept. I was finally told I would probably never see 9th gear as it was developed more for the European market where speeds could reach above 80 mph. Many squeaks, and odd noises, no answers. Very jerky acceleration or very large delay, no fix for that either as it is a 9 speed electronic transmission. Very disappointed in this purchase as I have owned Chrysler/Jeep for over 20 years and this is by far the worst vehicle I have had with their name on it.
I engaged the 4 wheel drive on my 05 Jeep Liberty Sport edition, which is an automatic, and now, while in 2 Hi, the Part Time indicator light is on, albeit the vehicle is obviously in 2 wheel drive, I can tell it is no longer in 4 Hi or 4 Lo. And when I engage 4 Hi or 4 Lo, the indicator turns off. Any ideas what the issue might be? Is it the Powertrain Control Module? Is it the Transfer Case Position Sensor, or harness? And can I work on it from underneath the vehicle? I have done my research both locally and online, and I have found multiple forums with patrons posing the same problem I have.
I needed a RHD Jeep. I went to TN to get one asap. I had 2 to choose from that were new. Since they had black interior, I wanted the one with the tinted windows. I did not like the large mud tires on it and said so about 5 times. He did not want to change the tires; he said he would have to spend $300 to recalibrate them to 16 tires. So, I paid more for the better tires as he stated. I found out that the tires slung rocks onto all 4 hinges and beat the paint off. They sold me $10 touch up paint with $6 shipping and handling. I bought mud flaps. This stopped the 2 top hinges from much more damage.Now I have ordered Mopar running boards in hopes of stopping more damage to the lower hinges before I touch up the paint. It costs $315. They offered to sell me one for $615 with installation. I hope my husband can install them. I feel this is a design flaw. I told both Jeep Corp. and the salesman that. Neither of them agreed. Now I have noticed that when I drive by the mile markers on the interstate, 3 miles measures 2.7, 4 miles measures 3.6 on the Jeep, and 5 miles measures 4.5, so I estimate if I go 10 miles only 9 miles will show up on the Jeep.
There is a recall notice out there for those of you who have problems with your window regulator. My wifes sister had hers fail (2009 Jeep Liberty) and paid $450 to have it repaired. A recall notice was generated and she was paid for this repair. Check it out.
The jeep (2015 Jeep Cherokee) is currently in the shop for the second brake booster failure. The first one happened little over a year ago at 26k. This one just happened again at 44k. The dealership has had the vehicle for over a week, and they cant seem to get the problem fixed. Last Jeep we will ever own. Jeep customer service is of no use. Both times this thing went out, my son was in the back seat. At this point I have to question the overall safety of the vehicle.
2015 Jeep - The transmission that whines when I pull off and stop. Understand the Jeep have 9 gears.
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 bought this car brand new and have now had it for 2 years. It has been the worst car I have ever had in my life. The windshield is a magnet for chips and you can tell that it is bad quality, have had two chips and one crack already driving on paved roads. The paint is also cheap as it chips very easily with normal driving. And the biggest issue other than all the recalls, is that my car takes the most expensive oil which is full synthetic and for some reason it is empty at 3,000 miles. Have taken it to the dealer and even called Jeep and nobody seems to be able to fix the issue. They just tell me to keep adding oil because these cars are notorious for doing that.It is a safety issue because the car stalls while driving since it is constantly running out of oil, but neither the dealers or jeep seem to care. Thats not to mention all the problems I had with the radio trying to get Android Auto to work properly, jeep kept telling me that the problem was I needed new usb cable but in the end I found out on my own that the actual problem were the apps on the radio. Basically jeep never has answers to anything, you have to figure it out on your own like you are the one getting paid to do the job. Best thing I can do now is get rid of this jeep and never do business with them again.
Worst buying experience I have ever had. Purchased a new 2017 Jeep Wrangler in April 2017 and it had been in the shop for the same problem. Jeep customer service keep promising they would take care of the matter. To call them when I was at the service department. I did and all I did was waste my time. They did nothing. I was awarded a buyback/repurchase lemon law. Customer service has been no help to me either and 2 months later Im still awaiting for this to be settled. They do not stand behind their product and their customer service is lacking.
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?
Jeep Compass is good on gas. I am glad I picked this type of car. It is reasonably priced for an SUV. It has great stereo and the speakers work well. I like the Bluetooth that came with it. Its nice to be hands free. Moreover, the air conditioning works great. The Compass is great, but I wish it had more leg room and reverse camera. It would be a great safety feature. Also, Id like it if the front window and side front windows had a bit more tint.
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.
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.
When driving for a while, coming off ramp and stopping to make turn, I lost power and heard popping noise, and a white blue smoke pours out the back. Then I get the power back. I took this to the Jeep dealer 2x and its been in there for 3 days now and they still cant find what is wrong. I also took it to a Goodyear place. They found after 2k miles of getting an oil change, I had no oil, yet I have no leak. My concern is when I lose power when I turn into traffic, the cars or trucks behind me - when the white smoke is in their face - dont know Im not going anywhere and they can cream me. I feel unsafe driving.
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.
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.
While on an out of town trip, the cars dashboard display notified me that I needed to get to a dealership within 200 miles. Since I was in rural Arizona, it was difficult to find a dealer, but I managed. 10 weeks later, my car still isnt repaired. Chryslers customer service has been erratic and unhelpful, they claim that there are problems locating the parts needed to repair the car. Most disappointing, however, is the companys complete lack of concern for my dilemma. My personal expenses have been significant, the company barely communicates with me, and wont commit to anything at all. No car, no repair, no compensation and above all, NO APOLOGIES.
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 purchased my jeep in February of 2015 from Mancaris Chrysler in Oak Lawn, IL. My experience with the purchase was horrific, as they sold me a 2 wheel drive for the price of an 4X4. Tried to tell me I had an 4X4, but my insurance company stated that according to the VIN it was a 2x4. They argued with me back and forth before they finally said the insurance company was right. You would think they would give me a 4x4, no, they did not without me having to put an additional 2 thousand dollars down on it. Okay, I did that. Got my 4x4 and moved on. Then I get the recall notice for R01. Took it in of course and afterwards, the Jeep did not drive the same. A lot of jerking/coughing going on. When I stop at a light, and when the light turns green, I go forward, the Jeep stalls before it would go. Same thing occurs when I make a turn. It could cause someone to run into me from the back because the Jeep stalls. Okay, took it back in, but then I got the recall for a R05. So while getting the second recall done, they were going to look at the issues I explained as well. When I left they said they looked at it and all was fine. Well everything was not fine, it continued to do the same thing. Took it back. They tells me that my 9.V engine is causing the Jeep to do that, and that is the way it is and nothing is wrong with it. On the way home, my entire dashboard goes dark and the ceiling light keeps popping on and off. The next day the check engine lights comes on. Took it back in, but to a different Jeep service department. They had it all day, only to tell me nothing was wrong. That was two days ago. Today while driving to the train station, my check engine light comes on again. WTF!!! Jeep is a piece of JUNK. Please DO NOT PURCHASE A JEEP!!!
I bought 2009 Jeep Liberty. 2 years the heat just blows cold air. Because I didnt buy extended warranty I’m screwed. I have a blood disease, antiphospholipid antibody Syndrome. I can’t go out all winter because frozen temps both in and out. No heat, no defrosting, freezing windows inside. Estimate could be as much as 5000. I do not have the money. I am on ss and disability. I was told that they would have to remove the entire dash. You would think they know their heaters failed, they should creating an opening, bad design. Really angry but still no heat. Help!
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!
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.
Wife liked the looks of this jeep so I bought it for her. First Chrysler product and last I buy. I never thought I had to inspect inch by inch before leaving dealership. Both front seat backings were damaged or with defects. Dealer simply says, it is under warranty. Okay, no problem. While driving back home to other Elko, Nevada, wife notices passenger visor mirror is shattered. Dealer says it is under warranty. One week later, wife experiences all warning lights on cluster flashing and speedometer blacked out and inoperable! We call dealer extremely upset and they say it is a recall that they just forgot to tell us! But its under warranty...not one apology! I could not convince wife into purchasing another foreign vehicle then but after this experience, Chrysler products will not even be considered! Thank you.
Bought a new JL Rubicon from the dealership. 4 days later the handle falls off. Took to dealership. Waited an hour for them to tell me they needed to order parts. Next day go back and they have wrong parts again. Of course after another hour wait. They couldnt even tell me when the parts will be in stock. Just that its a new model so could take some time.
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.
My Grand Cherokee is one of the best vehicles Ive had. The seats could be a lot better far as comfort and the replacement parts are expensive. But I like the design of the whole car in general. My Jeep has been great. Just keep up the maintenance on your vehicle.
I bought my 2004 Jeep Liberty almost 2 years ago. Aside from the constant light show on the dash, I loved the car! I started losing power when accelerating, at first occasionally but becoming more frequent over a month. I took it to my regular mechanic a couple of times but they couldnt find the problem. I ended up losing power completely and had it towed to Jeep dealership. First, I was told the water pump was loose and shook things up. I needed a new one. They also did an injector service(?). Tech drove it thinking it was fixed but he suddenly realized the car was a hazard when it all but stopped on the highway. We are now @ $800 and climbing! A few hours later, he discovers a problem with a cylinder head. Heres the catch. They told me it was cracked and needed replaced but told my extended warranty co. it was warped. So when talking to warranty co., they would say warped but dealership would say cracked when talking to them! Who do I believe, the warranty co. or the supposedly trained tech that knows these things? Of course I believe the tech and tell them it needs done whether the warranty covers it or not. Aside from the fact that the service manager lied to me several times stating he was on the phone constantly with warranty co., he lied when telling me it was cracked! Warranty wont pay stating it was not a necessary replacement! It WAS warped and could have been machined down at a much lower cost! So after my Liberty being at dealership for 3 weeks (which I still cant figure out), I get to pick it up tomorrow! At last count, the total was almost $3400! That doesnt include the rental I needed! Always had VWs, then went to Subarus. With my business, I need 4 WD, though, which is why I went to Jeep. Never again! Cant trust the company and cant count on the cars!
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.
I own a 2006 Jeep Commander, that I bought new. I have all of my receipts for everything, my truck has been well maintained, except for the fact that it has leaked since the beginning. I have had it serviced 7 times for the leak, and yet, I have a huge puddle in my passenger area, yet again. I dont know if there is mold in it, but they assure me that there isnt. I cant be sure. The car has also stalled for no reason several times. They cant explain that either. I dont know what to do with this truck. I have spent a small fortune getting it fixed over and over again, for the same problems.
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.
First of all, I want to say that up until this last purchase, I have been a loyal Chrysler customer since the 60s and have purchased about 10 of their vehicles including this 2011 Jeep. My wife and I traded our 2001 Durango 4x4 for the Jeep to be able to continue occasionally exploring back country areas in the Carolinas and Tennessee with the option of a removable soft top. Everybody knows that Jeeps are supposed to be Trail Rated, yet they sell a vehicle that if used off road (just gravel roads) that it will burn up the transmission due to excessive fluid heat. If we did extreme off-roading (mud bogging or rock climbing) like you see Jeeps doing on TV, I might accept having to install additional equipment. Im told by Jeep Customer Service that if I want to use my vehicle this way, I have to pay for installation of an additional transmission cooler. Why didnt the Engineers incorporate that into the vehicle in the first place? I understand they reconfigured the standard cooler into the A/C condenser vs. the Radiator. Did they Trail Test it? Are they willing to lose loyal customers over a couple hundred dollar part? They do install the factory cooler if you get the tow package, but I didnt plan to tow anything with my Jeep so it didnt concern me that the one I bought wasnt equipped with this package. Since Ive dealt with this particular dealership for over 20 years, Ive called and asked for the owner to respond by phone to see if he is more honorable than Chrysler.
I purchased a 2012 Jeep Patriot. It drove fine for the first 7,000 miles. From then on, I heard crunching and grinding whenever I would go over smallest bumps and speed bumps. Then, I brought it to the dealer. It was my struts and control arm. I do all highway mileage. At 11k, I feel a shake and wobble in front end. I brought it to dealer at least 10 times and complain to Chrysler that the dealer says they acknowledge an issue but cant figure it out. I am angry. I have a huge blowout on highway with my two young babies. I did not even hit anything and this is at 21k. They open a star case on it and some technician says its my axles. They are blown. I spent $400 on new tires and several trips to dealer wasting my time, and drove it 11k+ before they fixed it. It was fine for maybe a month plus, but now I hear grinding and clanking, also something loose. Plus the set button does not work sometimes on steering column. Very sluggish pick up during acceleration, hesitates when accelerating. I had to have power steering pump and serpentine pulley replaced at 20k. I HATE THIS JEEP and biggest mistake in my life. Now I am out of warranty slightly and I have to pay for it. I will NEVER buy anything American made vehicle again. Poorly made and very cheap. Worst choice I could have made buying a BRAND NEW VEHICLE.
I have a 06 Jeep Commander. I took it in for a recall. A week later I started experiencing electrical problems with the dashboard going haywire. I took it back to Jeep dealer and they said that it was a Chrysler Jeep Star Case and they would cover any and all repairs. Half hour later they call back and say its not covered and it will be $346.00. Needless to say I was very angry but what could I do, needed my car, so bummed!!
I bought my 2011 Jeep Liberty new which has just over 50,000 miles on it. I am a female in late 50s so no off road or rough driving. But already I had to replace a Idler pully belt and today a water pump. Not a happy camper.
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.
This is our third time with the windows failing to open/close - regulators broken, plates, etc. Last time, they fixed the drivers rear window and passenger window. I picked it up from the dealer last night, and now the check engine light is on. It wasnt there when we dropped it off. Well have to drop it off again tonight for them to fix it. So again, Im without a car to get around and this is such an inconvenience.
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!
My Limited Jeep Liberty 2004 revs up when at a stop, particularly at stop signs and stop lights. This seems to be a problem with many jeeps after doing some search on the internet. The revving up has been getting worse.In addition, I just realized that I paid for the replacement of bad ball joints on my car soon after I purchased it from Diamond Dodge Jeep Chrysler in Flagstaff, AZ. Unfortunately, I have no clue about cars and I was told that I needed a replacement which cost close to $1,000 and only later, much later to find out that I had replaced and paid for something that there was a recall for. I took it back to the same dealership for the recall and they never once told me that they were going to refund me for the $1.000. I know I sound very dumb that I went along with the mechanic when they told me that my car needed two new ball joints and then later took it back in for a recall and only now finding out that they were the same issue. The terrible part is that I got it both done at the same dealership that I bought my car from and they did not tell me that they had the ball joints fixed already and that they would refund me my $1,000, instead, they told me they replaced the ball joints after they already had fixed it. Unfortunately, I cant do anything about it now as Ive noticed that that dealership no longer exists, probably because they were up to no good.Is there anything I can do or anything you would recommend to me to do for both of my issues above?
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo - I lost control of my Jeep traveling 57-60 mph. I nosedived into a ditch, flipped over, and rolled sideways several times down a rural hwy, coming to rest upside down in a deep ditch facing the opposite direction in which I was traveling. Each roll my head slammed into the window. I did not have the strength to save myself. After the first hard slam I was just a flop. My daughter, her friend, and my 3 year old granddaughter was in the back seat. None of my air bags deployed. Its been almost a month and I still have a headache. I cant remember my phone number, peoples names, or how to get into my accounts, and Im still picking glass out of my head. Even after the several hour glass picking at the hospital. My neck and shoulder makes horrible noises, and I can barely see out of my left eye. I was wearing my seat belt, but that did nothing for my head. I just bought a new vehicle, but I panic every time I think about leaving in it. I find myself sitting in parking lots for hours trying to get through panic attacks now. Im terrified of driving now. I dont want to do it. Thank God the little one was asleep and covered up. She rolled with it. And the older kids were banged up, sore and cut up from glass. We are still all so happy to be alive. Most disappointing thing is that I paid a lot for that Jeep at 5 Corners in Cedarburg, for its safety features and they failed me badly.
Jeep Wrangler CRD 2008 - Its a great car... On 30,000 I had to change leaking power steering hose which appear to be mission impossible for Jeep Service department in Brisbane and finally private mob make a new hose for this car... On 40,000 I had to change dual mass flywheel... it fell apart. On advice from Jeep I went to other mob and this assembly and the clutch were modified to single mass flywheel. Just turned 60,000 and during acceleration from the traffic light it was a bang followed from loss of power and engine control light came permanent ON. From description from the manual... possible cause is blown catalytic converter... very cheap part. Only A$4000.00... This part should last the life time of the engine. What cause it... is terra icognita... even for Jeep experts in Brisbane. I cannot rate this car reliable. It is been driven only on city streets. Never been on the beach or in the mud. Is somebody from Jeep will stand up and take the bullet?
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.
My rear passenger window has broken for the 4th time. This time, I had had enough so I contacted Chrysler to request payment for the repair. Two weeks later, and after the most frustrating customer service (or complete lack thereof) experience I have ever had, the window is still broken. I am so fed up with Chrysler. Clearly, they have a defective product on the market. They simply dont care and refuse to issue a recall. It is deplorable. I have also had to replace the transmission. And every time my battery dies, I have to get the car towed, because even after letting it charge for 30-60 minutes, the car dies the minute I put it in gear. I am making sure everyone I know understands how incredibly horrible this company is and never buys a Chrysler product. Im sure glad my tax dollars helped bail Chrysler out. Well, I am not.
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 am experiencing an engine stall problem. I bought the car (Jeep Commander) in the UK for 136 thousand. A similar car has been recalled in the US, but nothing is being done in the UK. I dont know where to complain, and I think it is a manufacturers fault.
Particulate filter, catalytic converter, broken grommet, etc. - I am going on day 70 without my Jeep Grand Cherokee. 3 months of payments, no car. 3 months of Sirius radio payments, no car. Have heard the part is on back order for many months-Today called the Chrysler number and he said he sent messages but the service tech hasnt responded. 1st they put a new employee on my case. TWO days on the job. Come on guys. Really? Not fair to him or me. 2nd His response: “I will call the dealer and see if the part is there.” Duh dude-NO it is not there. (Oh wait, they forgot to give it to the tech). Then we had a tremendous exhaust leak into the cabin of my car. Car smoking like crazy. How do I file for Lemon Law?
I was on my first trip to enjoy the fall color on my jeep which at that point had 20k miles on it and found a good spot of highway and felt like using the cruise for the first at a 65 mph speed limit road. When I set it at 65 mph, it was driving smoothly then suddenly it accelerated with a sudden boost of power and picked up speed. I was amazed and intimidated, had to immediately get the car off cruise as it went as high as 70 mph. I have called the dealer and asked him a lot of time after being put on hold for minutes to be told that it was just a one time occurrence and will not happen. I am not satisfied with the explanation that I got and have decided never to use the cruise control again and would advice the same to all traveling with family.
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 have had to replace three of the four window regulators and the fourth also needs replacing at my own cost.
Third Jeep Ive owned: 2 Wranglers and this Liberty. Liberty has too many issues, too many repair problems: heater/air conditioner, leather seats ripped, front shocks, door locks, radiator. Like Jeeps, but wouldnt recommend the Liberty.
The Jeep Patriot is by far one of the best vehicles we have owned. It gets great gas mileage and does awesome in snow. This past Christmas my family went to visit family in Jamestown NY and ran into blizzard like conditions and if it wasnt for the 4 wheel drive I dont know what we would have done. The Patriot had no problems getting us through the snow storm. We like the 4 wheel drive. It gets up and goes with no problems. Theres plenty of room for the family and groceries. We like all the other features as well. But we find it hard to look both ways when theres a passenger or youre by yourself and its hard to see down the road cause of the door frame. Other than that we dont have any complaints. My family loves the Patriot and was sad to hear that they are stop making them.
Jeep Renegade is really underpowered, really heavy and bulky. Has a lot of blind spots. Seats are semi comfortable. Not worth the value in my opinion. Rides and handles with really smooth. Could be better on gas mileage.
Bought a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited 6 cyl. in Oct. 2018.. Biggest mistake Ever.. From the first week issues started. As the months passed the issues became more and more serious..and ONLY A COUPLE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED, LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING... AND TODAY ANOTHER ISSUE.. CANT PUT GAS IN IT!! IT SPITS IT RIGHT BACK ON ME!! SO I called the dealership and in a week or so I can have it looked at..so I called CS at Jeep and got the same reply.. I think sooner would be a nice thing!! Everyone I have spoken to says theirs too, is a total nightmare.. Just DO NOT BUY ONE.. I NEVER WILL AGAIN!! JUST CALLED MY CHRYSLER dealer who I bought my 300s from. Theyll get me in tomorrow.. Yay..Chrysler Of Waseca Mn. Best dealership around!! Issues include..paint lift, no working seatbelts, lock out, lockdown, screen went blank then horizontal lines, jerking, wont start, wont accept gas, radio on and off.. I have asked right away for Jeep to take it back when I had no working seat belts on day one but no reply.. They did repair the seatbelts... Im glad I have my old 1995 Chrysler Lebaron convert ...much more reliable than this 2019 JEEP!!
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 purchase my vehicle with 33k on it 3 weeks ago. It is in for service for the 3rd time (I havent even made a payment yet). 4 times now the transmission drags when leaving a stop and then clunks into gear. Before the 2nd service visit, I was driving down the highway and a loud alarm went off (not a ding or a chime) and there was something red on the display but it was gone before I could read it. My heart was jumping out of my chest as I was in rush hour interstate traffic and I thought it was going to stop. No codes the 1st and 2nd time so nothing was done. This time there was a body something code and waiting to hear on that today. At close to 36K I am concerned that I am entering the time when I start to have to pay for these services. I feel like I am being pacified at this point with no resolution to the issue. I mentioned all of the similar concerns reported on the internet and was told you cant always believe everything you read. My response was I am not lying about what is happening and I find it pretty interesting that others would report the same exact issues if they werent having them. I have filed a case with a LEMON LAW lawyer and just opened a case with JEEP/CHRYSLER directly. I love how it drives and looks but not sure how to rank the value. At this point it is going to cost me tons to repair down the road.
I have 2 accidents in the first month I have it. The worse car I ever bought. And the engine keeping give problems. Can you help? I almost kill myself and my kids. I broken all the windows, poor vision, engine, jerking stops.
I bought a lemon! I am so disappointed in Jeep. I dont know where to start. This SUV is costing me more than a mortgage payment. I take very good care of this car, and in return, it kills me! I have 49,000 miles on this 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the air conditioning went out in 2009. The cooling pump went out last month, and now, the ignition is gone! I need a phone number to someone who can help me. Im dumping this heap of crap and going back to Honda. I saved forever to get the car of my dreams. Now, its nothing but a nightmare! Anyone have 1,220 bucks to pay for the latest repair? Youre killing me! Please, give me a number! This car was bought at Global Auto Mall in North, Plainfield, NJ.
I love my Jeep, however, when one thing needs to be fixed. 2 or 3 things follow. It is trail rated, but be the rust consumes the bottom sides. Everything is very expensive to fix also. Ive always wanted a Jeep since I could drive. I just got one. 47 years later, lol. Just wish I could of gotten a good one.
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 have had my 2013 Jeep Patriot for almost 5 years now. I like this car because it gets good gas mileage, it has a satellite radio, heated seats, heated mirrors and radio controls on the steering wheel. Also it has a sunroof that I enjoy a lot. I like almost everything about my Jeep Patriot. The only thing I dislike a little is that it is a bit hard to tell how close you are getting to objects. But other than that, it has been a very reliable vehicle and all I have had to do is have it serviced.
7/1/21 I was in a terrible car accident on the interstate. 28k damage to my Jeep Wrangler! I had no airbags nor did my seatbelts lock, we were violently thrown into dash, my husband has facial fractures even. Jeep did a inspection and denies any liability. So never ever spend 45k on a jeep wrangler unless it your preferred coffin!
Bought a Jeep patriot in 2012. All of the plastic on interior was just hanging due to plastic clips breaking. Took to dealership because of skipping and poor acceleration from stop in automatic. It whined and smelled like something burning while going uphills and even in lower gears struggled. Occasionally, when I would start car, it would sound like it was going to throw motor through the hood. Their tech told me that they just have crappy transmission and it would get worse with time and mileage but said they couldnt do anything about it because technically theres nothing wrong with it. Traded Jeep in and couldnt be happier! Will never own another Jeep or Chrysler product again.
Lemon Law help with 2016 Jeep Latitude 3.0 FWD: I bought a new Jeep from Nyle Maxwell Chrysler Dodge in Austin, Texas. From the get go, they allowed each bank to pull a hard pull credit instead of pulling one and telling banks it was a soft pull. This tanked my credit, but I digress. From the start, the wipers failed during a storm. They came loose and grabbed the other wiper and I couldnt see past 100 yards on a one lane toll! Only by the grace of God did I not crash. I found the closest Dealership and called, but service didnt care that I was traveling through Houston. They told me to leave it overnight.I tried Rivercity location and the service manager saved the day when another service guy laughed at me when I told him I nearly could have crashed. Betty, the Service manager told me to come right in. The rain was less violent by then. Because it was a new version of Jeep, they had no parts and took the wipers off a new vehicle. A month or so later, there was a recall on wipers, which my Dealer handled when I took my Jeep in for a cruise control problem. The cruise control would not maintain a 2-3 mile range after going down even a low grade hill. It would go up to 12 miles more, and then attempt to slow, but it wasnt a smooth transition. It was Jerky, but not dramatic, but unacceptable.They updated the computer, installed new wipers and told me that maybe the cruise control would fix by update... but it did not. I would add that I was given a rental car, but find it unacceptable that you make an appointment, and they cant look at it for 4-5 days! There seems to always be recall backlogs! The second time I took it in, I allowed a guy in service to test drive it home and back. My advisor drove it, too, but because no codes came out on computer, they couldnt do anything. Both also said that the cruise worked fine... so, I go pick it up and bam! It still does the same thing going on a hilly area in San Antonio, but not huge hills, just low to medium grade hills.As a side note, I use my car to earn money, and each time they test it and give me a rental, I am without any way of making bank! My first oil change was a normal one, averaging 21 mph, but since then, I use full synthetic and it went to 24 mph. I came to work in Austin, and the auto stop and on feature stopped working. This affected the RPM, which now never goes down to zero anymore. Ive burned through a tank of gas after only 150 miles, getting 19 mph! Of course this was on a Friday afternoon, too. So, I cant earn what I need, defeating the purpose of coming to Austin, and next week SXSW travelers begin to arrive. I CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS IT, YET CANNOT AFFORD TO DRIVE THIS LEMON!The other issue is when the auto stop feature was off and I would go down a steep hill, the brakes would come on and slow me down! This sounds like a transmission problem, too! Is Chrysler waiting for the warranty to expire? Ive got nearly 25,000 miles now and need help to get rid of this lemon. There is a lemon law, right? Angry and broke!
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.
I bought a Jeep a year ago but it has been the worst investment that the seller made a car with factory problems, the roof with problems of liquefaction. I go four times that they try to fix but always has a different problem. The mechanics have been deteriorating. They put old screws to repair it, they do not put their original parts, to each place that I wear they put a different silicone in it, I lost my love for my car. The truth is that my car has the guarantee but they do not want it answer for my car, if they already realized that the car is not only repaired with silicone and patches. It is best to change the whole piece but Jeep has not returned the call. I think they are waiting for the warranty to end so that dissatisfied customers can not claiming for our rights. Its sad because I thought it was a good company.
I purchased a Jeep which turned out to have a tpms warning light on. Took Jeep to Turnersville Jeep who said it needed a new wireless control module. Agreed to have them replaced the wireless control module for 263 dollars. Picked up jeep after service department was closed only to find tpms light still on. Took the jeep back to Turnersville Jeep and they had it for two more weeks and still couldnt fix problem. Decide to try a different dealership to see if they could fix it. Pellegrino Jeep had car for over a week with no success. I cant believe a car that they made they cannot fix. Such an annoying problematic. I forgot to mention that the accessory position does not work and they couldnt fix that problem. Im at my wits end. Can anyone fix these two problems?
Purchased a 2008 Jeep Patriot. Ive had it for about, oh 3 years now. After reading everyones stories, I am not sure if I want to eve go with a new vehicle, lol, only because since I have had my jeep. I have put 4 tie rod ends on this puppy as well as 4 ball joint in the last three yeas. And just yesterday, I went to pump my back tire up and I have another busted tire sensor making it the 3rd one have to replace. And now my brake drums needs replaced and check engine light has now came on. So thinking KIA is a great car, found out that will be the last car I will buy, and Ford no way Pontiacs ignition problem and Jeep Cherokee. I mean wow, at this point I think a horse would be more liable than Americas crappy cars and customer service is something else.
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.
If I can save even ONE person from throwing their money away on a Jeep Renegade Sport, that’s great! I have this car under lease. In 2.5 years it has required: a new computer, new AC, new transmission and the thingy that helps with a flat tire does not work, so I had to buy a spare. A conservative estimate of the work needed is about $10,000. I had to cover $2,000 of it myself. Never ever not ever would I recommend anyone buy a Jeep.
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.
I bought a brand new 2011 Patriot with only 5 miles on it in Feb. 2011. Before my first oil change, I had started having problems. On two separate occasions, I heard an unexplained noise almost as if my ball joint had broken and my wheel was about to fall off. The first time, it only happened for a few seconds, the second time I pulled over, nothing seemed wrong. When I got back in it, it drove fine. Of course the dealer couldnt do anything because there was not a malfunction light on. Since then, the problems keep coming. There is a dead spot when accelerating around 50mph, I then have to mash the gas to get it past it. The transmission feels weak; the dealer wont do anything until it breaks. Then I just noticed the other day my door hinge has begun rusting already. I would expect it after about two years but not 8 months. Jeep has gone to hell since Chrysler bought them in the late 80s. I knew I should have bought a GM.
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.
I bought the Jeep in 2012 and it has been back to dealership more than 17 times. I have tried and DID everything I could. I cant enjoy my Jeep at all.
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.
Problems with new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee - The transmission clunks really bad at slow speeds and is very jerky on downshifts. The dealer justified the problem but Jeep denies anything is wrong. This vehicle has only 500 miles on it? Also, the navigation screen has just gone blank on several occasions but of course wont do it when at the dealer for service. The dealer is very cooperative but Jeep is not. Really making me question my first ever Jeep purchase?
The problem began initially in 4/2010 when the vehicle had 53,165 miles on it and the engine would idle roughly, the ESP/BAS indicator would come on, the check engine light would come on, and the traction assist indicator would all come on at the same time. As soon as all the indicators would light, the car would handle poorly, not shift properly, and at times simply stall out on the highway. I brought the car to my local Jeep dealership and upon inspection, they found that the intake manifold had melted and come apart; thus, it needed to be replaced at a cost of $485, which was fine considering the car overall had not given me many major problems. So, I proceeded to have the work done. A couple of weeks ago, the same problems began happening again (the engine would idle roughly, the ESP/BAS indicator would come on, the check engine light would come on, and the traction assist indicator would all come on at the same time), so I brought the car back to the same dealership. Upon inspection, they found that once again, the intake manifold had melted and come apart, thus it needed to be replaced at a cost this time of $685. Mind you, the car now has 96,057 miles. My main concern is that the intake manifold lasted only 42,901 miles and had to be replaced once again. I voiced my concerns to my service advisor and he stated that the first time the upper manifold had gone bad and that this time the lower manifold had gone bad. That may very well be the case but if you look at the invoices, the part numbers are exactly the same (53032774AA). I understand that the dealership can only do so much, so I am now appealing to you as it seems that the intake manifold for my 2006 Jeep Commander has a factory defect as it literally melts and begins to come apart especially with the extremely hot weather in South Florida every 40,000 miles or so.I wrote a letter to Chrysler and received an email asking me to call their customer assistance center. I called and was basically told that there was nothing they could do. I asked to speak to a manager and Daniel refused to let me do so saying that he had the final decision on my claim. Needless to say, I am getting rid of this crappy car and I will never spend my money on a Jeep again as they do not stand behind their product as some of their foreign competitors do.
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.
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!
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?
I have a 2008 Jeep Liberty with an extended manufacturers warranty. On Sept. 17, 2012, while traveling on the interstate, I accelerated to pass a vehicle and the pedal stuck. This has been happening randomly since the first incident. I removed the floor mats to make sure that was not the issue. The dealership was able to duplicate the problem on their first try. This is not covered under the ext. mfg. warranty as it is considered an accessory (yes, I quote) even though it is listed as Miscellaneous Electrical System Repair on the dealerships service order. They want $385 to fix this issue. Chrysler Customer Care said due to your cars status, and you being the 2nd owner, theres nothing we can do. First I dont see how an accelerator pedal is an accessory and secondly do not see how this should be my liability. Im extremely frustrated and angry. Anyone else have this problem?
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.
I bought a 2007 Jeep Liberty in 2010. The first problem was with the windows. They keep coming off-track. After months of dealing with Orr Honda in Texarkana, AR, they said they were finally fixed by replacing the regulators or something like that in each of them. Less than 6 months later, the rear driver side went out. They said that I had just ran out of warranty and it would be $330.00. Then, the driver side window went out and today, the passenger window went out. I cannot afford all of these window problem. I have had people come up to me and say, have your windows gone out yet? Or say, I see your windows are wedged, I had to keep mine that way until I got rid of it. Is there somewhere I can turn to with the company?
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!
In 2012 my air condition went out on my 2007 Jeep Liberty. I paid $1,100 for the dealership to replace it. In 2013, one month after my warranty on the compressor, it went out again. I took it back to the dealership who replaced the dryer, but the mechanic said I needed another compressor. They said this time it would cost another $1300. The compressor lasted the rest of the summer, but this year it has stopped functioning again. I cannot afford to replace the compressor each year! I am now driving my Jeep Liberty without air conditioning. I feel the company and dealership has taking advantage of me because I am a woman and my lack of mechanical knowledge.
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.
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.
The back driver side window fell down and wouldnt roll back up. Dealership charged $240 for labor and repairs. Yesterday, the same thing happened to the back passenger window which cost another $240. When will they issue a recall on 2006 Libertys?
I bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade August of 2018. This past year I have been paying for oil changes every 2500 miles or so. (Should be 5k with synthetic.) Thats 116$ bill. I honestly thought the place I had doing my oil changes was gypping Me on oil. I took it to a few different places. After the vehicle started displaying oil pressure low on the screen and shut off, while on a major highway doing 57 mph with my 6 & 2 years old boys in the back. This happened a few times while driving. A mechanic at Valvoline told me the renegades were having this issue and the engines are bad.. funny.. Would have been nice if Jeep or Chrysler had sent out a warning or recall! They knew this was happening and have ignored warning their good paying customers. So for the past YEAR I have been paying 721$ (on time!) a month for a vehicle that was a lemon, paying for twice as much oil, and being legitimately in harms way every time my family and I got in this car.They are replacing the engine. Have me a loaner for the week... I expressed how uncomfortable I am now driving this vehicle and everything that Ive been through. And Im sure the other countless renegade drivers out there with no idea! Jeep is just going to wait until someone gets fatally hurt to issue a recall on the engine. I will not be dismissed. Thats what they keep doing! When I call Jeep or go to the dealership. I am a person, this is my hard earned money and I will NOT BE IGNORED. I hope people see this and get their car checked. I want to be heard. You wronged me. Get it together Chrysler Jeep!!!!
I have a 2012 Jeep Rubicon that is sitting under a tarp at the dealership I purchased it from, waiting for a replacement cylinder head. Apparently, this is a known issue to Chrysler and instead of contacting owners to replace the heads, they are riding it out to see who all complains about it. Well, mine has cracked and two weeks later still no cylinder head. I opened a case with Chrysler Jeep customer care and have a case number. Finally, I talked to my case manager after four days of calling and he tells me it will be another week before the dealership even gets the new one and refuses to escalate my complaint higher. I have a $38,000 vehicle and I cant drive it. What am I driving? A Ford Focus. Really? Not even comparable. Beyond angry.
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.
Currently, new power train motor mount, car is stalling and stops. Chrysler changed my dealership. Antwerpen treated me poorly and sold a defective vehicle with rust and all. Currently, the car is at Tate in MD. All Im asking for is an extended warranty. Many more parts have been changed. The trouble is that the dealership cant duplicate problems. They have to use on star. Even then, I was told by Mr. ** that they cant duplicate problem. I have an extended history of service with the vehicle. It requires its own file box. I need assistance in order to obtain an extended warranty.
I bought a New Jeep Grand Latitude and at 295 miles two weeks to the day after I brought It home the transmission went. The Jeep Service said that it needs to have the transmission replaced. Chrysler will pay with the warranty but I was told this repair will greatly reduce the trade in value of the vehicle. I havent even made the first payment yet! I dont want that Jeep. I will take a new one or nothing. Chrysler so far said no. How do I get outta this?! I dont want a Jeep thats value has been reduced through no fault of my own. The vehicle has other issues that I reported the day after I bought it. Service at Bedards said cant be anything wrong because its new.
I bought a 2012 Jeep Liberty Latitude on 8/13/12. My sales experience was great, I must admit; however, I have had this vehicle 3 weeks and have had it in the shop 3 times for the same issue! They did nothing the first time, cleared the codes, told me to bring it back if it happened again and they would fix the problem. This is after being there for 4 hours. 2 days later I have the same issue. I took it back to the shop and 6 hours later I am told they still are not sure why it is happening after they put 25-plus miles on it test driving it and said they rotated the tires and need to see if I am having a control module issue or a TPMS issue. They said to bring it back if it happens again. Two days later, it happened again and so today I dropped it off at about 9 am. At around 4 pm, I get a phone call that they need to keep it overnight and they will set me up with a rental. They cannot find the control module they are looking for. It’s not where the book says it is. Now, I am really aggravated. I bought a brand new vehicle so I would not have these problems and yet in 3 weeks they have had the vehicle 3 different times and now overnight! I’m calling to complain to Jeep. I’m not sure it will do me any good; however, I believe this will fall under the Virginia lemon law.
My radio has a 30-gb hard drive in it. The idea is to be able to load music and pictures and music. The problem is the radio doesnt recognize the USB port, making that option useless. I made 2 attempts to have it fixed. There is no fix and they have no plans to correct the situation.
I purchased my 2007 Liberty used in 2009. I immediately began having trouble with the windows. The mechanisms were faulty and all the windows fell, one by one! Although the warranty had ran out, Chrysler replaced all four. Now, its the air compressor! They said the compressor, dryer and lines all need replacing which is going to cost an outrageous $1,100.00! Ugh! I will have to get a loan in order to pay them for the work they are supposed to be doing, which has not been done after a week in the shop. I waited a week, called and checked on my Liberty. Well, now they cant find the parts! All the dealer’s list has having them on their shelves, but they actually dont. This past February, I actually thought about trading it in on a new Honda Civic. Yes, I am feeling a hard kick in the backside right now for not doing it. Let this be a warning to all those that are looking to go with a Chrysler product. Buyers beware!
I own a 2006 Jeep Liberty that I purchased new. I had several problems with the window regulators breaking and the windows falling down or failing to roll back up. The first few times these were replaced under warranty. After my warranty expired, my back two windows broke and fell down. I called to find out what this would cost and was told about $400 per window. I did not have nearly $900 to shell out to have this fixed when there is an obvious problem with these windows in this model year. Last year, I found out Jeep decided to extend the warranty on these windows for model years 2006-2007 for 7 years. I called my dealer to find out about this warranty and was asked for my Vin number, they ran the number and told me my car did not qualify as it was past the cut off month - mine built in March 06 and they said it was for anything after May 06 and later. The letter says nothing about this! They said I could have them fixed and pay for it and then try to get my money back from Chrysler Jeep. I am a single mother and dont have that kind of money to get these fixed for a problem that Jeep is very aware of! This is very unsafe as your car can easily be broken into if the window starts to fall. All someone has to do is push down, reach in and open the car. I currently have wedges stuck in between the glass and door to try and keep these up. It is ridiculous. I cant use my windows and I will never be able to sell this car or trade it in with this problem not fixed. The cost is too expensive that no one else will want to pay to have it done. I am stuck with this car that was poorly designed that Jeep is very aware of and now will do nothing about it.
I bought this car 3 months ago and right now has 435 miles. I notice that everytime I turn on the ac this smells like rotten. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the cabin filter but did not work. They told me they couldnt find anything else. Jajajaja paying for a car that smell like **.... This is frustrating.
I love my little Jeep Liberty. I live in an area where there is a lot of snow in winter and the hills are very steep. It is such a trooper, making it up and down those roads!
I have owned 3 Jeep Commanders 2006 and we have recently purchased a new Compass. I have decided to keep one of the Commanders. My family and myself have taken care of the Commanders from the beginning even though after the first year, the plastic door handles cracked and just fell out on the floor making it very hard to open the doors, were always wondering when it will quit working. At first, I believed it was some fault of ours but after three 40,000 dollar cars and they all did the same thing, I decided to keep one and went to the dealership to pay and fix my own. They quoted me a price of $550.00 a piece, which is not fair as this is the third vehicle we have had to do this. I love these SUVs, but the doorknobs and the seat belts also will not hold up making it impossible to take all the kids at once. $330.00 a piece to fix the seat belts. There is a big manufacturing problem and I would like some help as we have purchased 4 Jeeps, 3 at one time.
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.
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.
