Ferox500 Extreme Utility Vehicle Is A Hemi-Powered Wrangler From Italy
Posted On: May 23, 2022
The Jeep Wrangler, for all its on-road flaws and reliability issues, is still one of the finest off-roaders that money can buy. Of course, these days, the Ford Bronco is giving the Wrangler some serious competition, but what if you'd never be caught dead in a Ford? Well, the Wrangler is a pretty good base for customization and upgrades, especially when you restomod it. Naturally, not everyone wants to go old-school and not everyone wants to take the Wrangler to the trails to defend its honor against the Bronco. Some people just love the classic shape and the timeless proportions, and among those people are the men and women behind the Militem Ferox500. Militem is an Italian company and has just opened its first dealership in Dusseldorf, Germany. To celebrate, the company has just premiered its new model based on the wild, V8-powered Wrangler Rubicon 392. That means you get a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 under the hood and a 0-62-mph time of 4.5 seconds. However, as the styling suggests, this car is not so much about performance but more about luxury and style. The exterior shows off a set of 22-inch Militem wheels, but only four of them - the spare wheel is no longer attached to the rear door. Other changes include black hinges, a matte carbon fiber grille, and a new hood with a unique scoop, as well as hooks, hood inserts, and side grilles in black. An optional LED light strip and parking sensors can also be added, and smaller 20-inch wheels can be had if the 22s are too extreme for you. A two-inch lift kit, Militem Performance shocks and dampers, and a new braking system from Powerbrake have also been added along with a dual-mode exhaust system. Inside, the handcrafted interior sees the addition of "racing-derived" seats finished in Nappa leather and Alcantara. This treatment can also be applied to the dashboard, instrument panel, gear knob, steering wheel, and luggage compartment liner. Glossy carbon fiber is used for the door handle inserts, as well as parts of the flat-bottomed steering wheel and center console. If these materials don't suit you, Militem offers a wide range of customization options and will even give you denim if that's what you prefer. Additionally, the luxurious off-roader comes with a 36-month/100,000-kilometer (62,000-mile) warranty. So what does all this cost? The Ferox500 starts at a scandalous €149,500 plus taxes. That's $159,300 in our money or about as much as the 2021 Mercedes-AMG G63. We'll pass, thanks.

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.

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 have a 2011 Jeep Compass with 2.4 liter engine. The vehicle has 500 miles and we are only getting 7-10 miles/gallons in the city. I cannot get any assistance from the dealership. They just tell me to wait until summer and see if it improves. Anybody have some of the same problems?

My lumbar support periodically gives me and other drivers a rabbit chop to the left kidney while driving down the road. Periodically, when you adjust the electronic lumbar support on the drivers, it will pop and thump you in the lower back. Too bad, even though this has happened to multiple drivers during the 6,000 miles Ive owned the vehicle for, since the dealer cant duplicate the problem, my experience doesnt count. If this was a rattle that I was hearing, or a shake that I was feeling, Id understand the need for an ability to duplicate the problem requirement to fix. But a kick to the back? Thats not opinion, thats fact. If I kill myself in this car one day, check the seat. Chances will be good that this was the real cause of the accident!

I was very disappointed cause my Jeep needs a new engine. It has a blown head gasket after 3 months of me owning it and the seller cut the 4 wheel drive shaft out. I wish I could have brought it to a garage to have it looked over cause then I would have had the opportunity to say no or gotten it cheaper or had the seller fix it. He just plainly ripped me off for like 2000. Its just not worth putting that kind of money in it. I also didnt like the center console. It has the window controls there instead of by the window like on the door panel. Even so, I liked the fact that it was an SUV but wasnt huge. It had plenty of space and seemed to have run great. Was also pretty easy to work on and maintain but I didnt really get to drive it all that much.

I financed a new 2007 Jeep Commander Sport. The first of many visits to the dealer was reinstalling the software. Then, we experienced on occasion, when all the gears on the panel lit up, and our truck wouldnt drive over 20 mph, which we recorded. I took it to the dealer, and never duplicated the error (software got updated). A couple of months later, the passenger speaker had a recall, and the dealer fixed it. A few months later, we noticed on cold days the idle would drop, as it was going to shut off. Also, on stops, the idle would go up, as my foot was on the break pedal. This got me worried. Once, a pedestrian walking in front of me thought I did it to scare them. I took it to the dealer. At this time, I knew the staff at Long Beach Chrysler Jeep personally, so they tried duplicating it. Of course, it wasnt. Months went by, everything was cool, I guess, then there was another recall on the side air bags. Before I go on, I forgot my wife was in involved in an accident, as she was leaving her parking spot. To get on the street, a driver clipped her tire, and pushed her forward six feet onto a parked Lexus. No airbags were deployed. They inspected something like the black box, and said she was traveling at a certain rate of speed to deploy. Whatever, my wife was at fault. The problem ended with the self idling after the last software upgrade.At 30,000 miles, I needed to service the transmission. I thought about taking it to a local shop. To my surprise, my truck didnt come equipped with a transmission dipstick. The dealer, or someone with the latest tool could only check it. At this time, I had moved to Bakersfield, so my choice was to take it to the local Jeep dealer. They noticed there was a leak on a seal. My warranty covered it, but had to pay a $200 deductible. It was smooth sailing, until my turning signaler started acting up in November. It was broken, so I had to replace it, and again, I had to pay a deductible.A month later, I noticed outside air coming in through the vents, but my fan cycle was off, and air was in recirculating mode, so no air should have been noticed. I took it in, in January 2012, to see if there was a recall, or maybe something got disconnected. The Bakersfield Jeep dealer would charge a diagnostic fee, and if the part was covered in warranty, they would waive it. They found the actuator needs to be replaced, and its not covered by my warranty. They gave me a discounted quote for $850, but got me for my diagnostic fee. I knew it was a problem with the outside air coming in, so when I took it in, I told them it must be some kind of damper, that opens and closes like a door. Why couldnt the dealer tell me that only major AC components were covered, before they took my money. So now, my warranty is expiring, and Im shopping for an extended warranty service outside the dealer. Since I have a pre-existing problem, a new warranty will not honor it. Unless its another component that leads to that problem.Another issue I experienced about 2 years later after purchase, was my passenger mirror needed to be replaced. The long beach dealer fixed it. Prior to that, my gear shifter got stuck, and needed to be fixed. The dealer fixed it. Within the third year or so, I was living in the valley, and it gets hot. I turned the AC on, and a real foul muggy smell would come out of the vents. I took it to the dealer, and they had report that the condensate drain was plugged up. The dealer fixed it and even cleaned up my AC vents with some fancy spray. Im finally going to be done paying it off in a few months, and have no plans of ever buying a Chrysler/Jeep vehicle. For what its worth, now I think Ill have to buy an extended warranty elsewhere. I hope my issues get resolved with whatever service contract I purchase, and hope its not the actuator that the dealer said was faulty. Im not planning to get rid of it for now, I will drive it until years of newer warranties are expired.

Wrote a yr ago and its worst. Transmission from 1st to 2nd gear skips and when it catches gear, rear end wants to fall off truck. Still having steering problem. It vibrates for 61 mph to 68 mph. So bad. The dealer and Chrysler have locked me out for any further attempts to have issue resolved. They will do that for you cant pursue lemon LAW. Navigation is always resetting on its own while driving. And at acceleration it wont move. It has about a 4 sec delay on take off. Almost got killed by trucks on highway when I try to shift lanes on take off. Please people do not buy Chrysler. I am saving you money and stress. Worst SUV I have ever experienced. Rather take the bus.

2003 Jeep Liberty Freedom Edition (original owner). I have replaced the motor on my left rear window on three separate occasions. The first time was covered under warranty, but it was out of pocket the second and third time. Its expensive and apparently a consistent problem with other Jeep Liberty owners. According to the dealership in Davis, this part has not been recalled.With the first use of my car for the day, a metal grinding sound occurs when I brake (lasts for about 3-4 brake uses and then goes away). Its very loud and embarrassing, though I was assured that my life is not in danger. I was told that this is due to debris from the elements (air, dirt, etc.). I am the original owner of this Jeep Liberty and this has never happened in 8 years, until now.From a standstill and then pressing the gas pedal to drive my automatic Jeep, my car jerks (I can feel it and hear it) as if I were driving a stick shift car in the wrong gear. Dealer does not know why.My car has turned off three times when I stop at a red light (stop light, etc.) and I have to restart the Jeep. Sometime it turns on. Other times, I wait and then try again and it turned on. I just took it to the dealer where I was charged a hefty diagnostic fee. However, they could not tell me what the problem was. I am paying a fee, yet they cant determine the problem for my car turning off while I am in moving traffic.Does anyone know if it is legal to charge a diagnostic fee when the dealership cant determine the problem? I would accept the fee if they were addressing the problem; however, they are not.

While backing out of my usual parking space at the usual cautious pace, as I placed my foot on the brake, the Jeep (V8) suddenly chirped all four tires. Fortunately, I reacted by undoing what I just did, removed brake pressure (scary), then moved my foot left back onto the brake and stopped the vehicle. So, Ive advised my wife to not drive the Jeep, and if any car suddenly accelerates, remove your foot and quickly replace it properly on the brake. Also, I advised her to slap the shifter into neutral and turn off the key. Remember, the Audi story years ago (we had one). The same situation happened. I got my foot partly on both the brake and accelerator and it chirped the front tires. In both cases when accelerating, there is less vacuum pressure due to the wide open throttle, so brake force is reduced, requiring many more pounds of force to stop. So, we need to remind our families that its easy to do, and be ready to in due what you just did. By the way, now my Jeep lift gate is dented from car wash guys pushing the car from the wash line.

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?

I have never had as many issues with a brand new car as I have with used cars. All my previous cars I bought used can put well over 150,000 miles on them and never had any issues except regular maintenance. I decided to buy a brand new jeep and have only owned it 2 years. Nothing but issues, and no help when I take it in to get it fixed. I keep trying to tell them my transmission is slipping, but they keep telling me it’s just the computer. Definitely not... Jeep sucks as a manufacture and business. Horrible customer service.

I was sent a recall notice July 2014 regarding the ignition switch but was also told the part was not available to fix the problem. Several months passed and I contacted Jeep and was told again...well let you know when the part is available. Its now 8 months later and STILL the part is not available. Meanwhile, I have to drive with no key ring (which has caused me to lose the key several times), and the real issue is that it could cause an accident. Why cant a million dollar corporation such as chrysler fix a defect that their company is responsible for and could cause an accident and loss of life? I could understand waiting a month or two for the part, but 8 months and still no idea when the part will be available is just wrong and totally unacceptable.

Fun to drive, looks great but this model has issues with the front end parts and the subframe. Have a 2008 Patriot with only 60k miles that has had almost every front end part replaced, if I did not have an extended warranty I would not have been able to afford all the repairs. I always thought Jeeps were good vehicles, but I will never buy another one.

I purchased a 2011 Jeep Patriot in August 2011. I like my Jeep, but the problem I am encountering with the CVT Transmission is frustrating and concerning. In less than a year of having my Jeep, I began to notice a whining noise and the RPM getting stuck as if the transmission was not shifting. When I took it into my dealer’s service department, they said they couldnt find anything wrong. The assistant service manager suggested it was the wind I was hearing. A couple of months later, the same issues were happening regularly, but now the transmission temperature warning light came on. I again took it to the dealership. This time, I was again told they checked it out, couldnt find anything wrong, and they said they couldnt diagnose it unless the light was on.The next time the issue occurred, I was traveling to visit my parents 45 minutes away. The temperature warning light came on about 40 minutes into the drive. Once I got to my parents house, I decided to take it to the Jeep Dealership there. Unfortunately, when I started the Jeep, the light was off, making the trip to the out of town dealership pointless. In the last two months, the same issues have occurred, but on two occasions, my Jeep went into LIM (limp in mode), which forcibly slowed the vehicle down and required me to pull over on the Interstate for the transmission to cool down. After the first time it went into LIM, I called Jeep Customer Service to see what suggestions they had. The customer service representative with Jeep was nice, advised they had never heard of this problem, and instructed me to follow up the dealership.Before making yet another appointment with the dealership, I decided to do some general research on CVT Transmission in Jeep. I was totally surprised to see consumer comments of the exact same issues, especially after the Jeep representative said Jeep hadnt heard of this problem. One of these reviews suggested recording the issue. Within a week, it happened again! This time I recorded the noise, the temperature warning light coming on, and having to pull over. I took the video to the dealership. This time, the same assistant manager said, Every Jeep with CVT Transmission has that issue.I asked about switching out the transmission. He advised there isnt a way to convert the transmission. He also said Jeep hasnt released a fix yet. So, my not even two year old Jeep, which is still under the manufacturer warranty, is defective with no fix for the issue. In the mean time, I cant drive my Jeep out of town and feel unsafe driving it. To top it all off, the CVT Transmission was a $1,000 upgrade! I feel like I have no options, but to retain an attorney and file a complaint under my state’s lemon law and the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act.

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

I 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 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.

Remote Start for Our Jeep Wrangler - We have had so much grief with the Rem
Remote Start for Our Jeep Wrangler - We have had so much grief with the Remote Start for our Jeep. It was installed and taken out several times because when we engage it, all the dashboard lights go on, the engine races, we are able to take the key out and it is still running. We step on the brake as we were told to do and still all dashboard lights are on and the engine is on and revving! After the car finally shuts off, the check engine light stays on. I spoke to Joe from Finance to see if we could have our money back since Howie took the Remote Start out and the Jeep was working fine with no problems. Joe was very rude and condescending to me. He insisted that we should have never had it taken out and must have it installed again. My wife called Joe on the phone that same day and he was just as rude and condescending to her. Joe told her that this was not a piece of candy we could return to the candy store two months later. So, at Joes insistence, Aaron had Howie reinstall the Remote Start. Since then, we have had the same troubles again! Today we videotaped it to show them this was not a lie or something out of our imagination. Mr Manfredi, we bought 2 cars this year, a Dodge Avenger and the Jeep (February and March), both with Remote Starters. My Avengers remote starter works perfectly. The Jeep has been a nightmare that seems to have no end. Supposedly, Tony is now working on it. Why cant we have it removed? We are moving to Florida in mid-June and will be driving the Jeep down. We are afraid of what might happen! Please. Please help us solve this craziness. I am sorry to have to come to you, but we are not getting any satisfaction from anyone else. The cars are under my wifes name. Aaron has been a gem through all of this but says his hands are tied when it comes to solving this. It would be greatly appreciated if you could take a look at this and get back to us. I hope I downloaded the video right. If not, I have it on my cell phone.

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

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

My 2006 Jeep Liberty (standard) has had all four windows changed. It needed a new steering column because of a part built into the column to recognize the key (wouldnt start). Also, it needed a new transfer case, and the back window leaks into the vehicle. The shifting lever kept coming out when operating the vehicle. The jack for changing tires doesnt lift the car up high enough to change the tire.Jeep dealer said that there was nothing wrong with the windows until they finally recalled them. I had to duct tape them up so they wouldnt fall into the frame. There was no point in locking the vehicle when all we had to do was push the window down! My windows are beginning to sound just like they did when I had to have them all replaced the last time because the glass would fall into the door frame.I had to get a steering column from eBay because we were told by the dealer that they were on triple back order throughout the whole United States! I also had to replace the transfer case when it blew apart in my driveway trying to move it after a heavy snow to get the driveway plowed. I havent even tried to fix the leak in the back window yet. I had to get stack wood under the jack until it could lift the car up enough to change the tire. Whats next? A five years old without off road driving and it is falling apart. Not cool.

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

Just hit 22,000 miles on my new 2017 Jeep Willys, only highway driving, less than two years old. The factory installed tires are in need of replacement. If you are planning on buying a one then request that the factory installed tires are replaced with a more reliable tire. A couple donuts from Dunkin would last longer than the factory installed tires.

My air bags didnt go off and I was told that it was due to the deceleration of the vehicle. I never even had a chance to hit the breaks. The man I spoke with at Chrylser was rude and condescending. I would like to think that if I buy a vehicle with air bags that they would work if I needed them. I do not feel the least bit safe with the thought of having to drive around in this vehicle especially with my children.

I have had my Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited 4-door since September 7, 2012. The first heavy rain we had here in San Antonio, Texas left the driver side floor with a small puddle of water. The next screwed up thing that happened was the zipper broke on the rear window on the drivers side. I took in the Jeep to get the leak fixed; it still leaks. I contacted the dealership (Ancira Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in San Antonio, Texas) and found out that the service department has to find someone to re-sew the zipper. They have to find someone who will do this within the price Chrysler gave them. I paid a lot of money for this Jeep and the last I want is to have my zipper sewn back on! Thats **! I want my window fixed correctly! And if the whole top has to be replaced, then replace it! Its your screw up and you need to fix your screw up and if its going to cost you, too bad! Dont forget Chrysler - we bailed your ** out of trouble and you owe us! Get your ** together and fix your problems!

I purchased a 2008 Jeep Compass from Massey on Friday, October 26, 2012. On the way to work the following day, something happened inside the transmission that caused major damage. After the sun was up, I looked at what I could and called Eric, my salesman. He told me to bring it back to be checked over. I drove the vehicle back into the dealership and dropped it off on Saturday, October 27 (less than 24 hours after purchase). After numerous phone calls, I was informed that they would not warrant the vehicle, stating I was doing burnouts or something and ruined the transmission (Matt). Trying to use the chain of command at the dealership, I was informed by the owner Faith Massey that they indeed would not stand behind their warranty and to get that vehicle off the lot.

I have a 2007 Jeep Commander. I went to drive it today, and again, it would not start. The car has had its battery replaced already, and this has happened a couple of times since Ive owned it. I have had many electrical quirks such as lights blinking and going off. It also has completely turned off on the turnpike on a hill. There was no power in the vehicle, and the left lane traffic is extremely dangerous. The jeep does frequently lurch forward when at a stop, when the engine is still running. I keep looking for recalls, and found none, but others I know with Commanders have had the same issues. How many complaints, before they are made to fix the problems at their cost, not mine?

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

I feel bad I have to write this but....I bought a Jeep Compass back in March 2019 from the Route 46 Jeep Dealership in Little Falls, NJ. DO NOT GO TO THIS DEALERSHIP!!! IT IS TERRIBLE. I had to wait over an hour until they found the vehicle I was inquiring about. Then the finance guy, Alex **, was awful in giving me all of the details of my loan. Very rushed and basically didnt care about what was best for me. I was told the Compass was certified and when i went to sign the papers, it was not for the amount quoted online as the sales price. I had to pay an additional 1200 for the certified fee! This was not disclosed or mentioned in any paperwork until I sat down with the finance person at the last minute. Very unprofessional. I waited to speak to the manager of the dealership before I left, but he was conveniently unavailable for over an hour.Next issue-had car serviced at the Morgantown, WV dealership in October 2019. Then in June 2020, the car stalls out on me. I had vehicle towed to a White Plains, NY dealership. Issue was that the Morgantown dealership left screws of the torque plate in the car and they punched a hole in my motor and transmission. Now I find out the parts are not coming in until October 2020. I have been without a vehicle from June 2020 and will not get my car until October 2020. Jeep is not helping me at all! Issue was Jeeps fault and they are doing nothing to help me. Very frustrated. Will never buy a Jeep again.

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

I bought a certified pre-owned 2007 Jeep Patriot with 17,000 miles on it in April 2008. Within two years and low miles, we had to replace both ball joints and now the entire transmission. I have since done research—shame on you Jeep Chrysler. And shame on the government for not forcing a recall on these matters. First of all, bad ball joints can cause accidents. Second, how often does an automatic transmission go out after four years? We have kept up on all the maintenance and never abused our vehicles. I just cant believe there are so many people out there with the same problems as I. No wonder the car industry is going bankrupt; they wont stand by their product. In these days and times, a person can barely afford to buy a vehicle let alone put out for such costly repairs.

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!

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

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.

Let it be known that the life of an importer of Jeep Liberty CRDs to Canada
Let it be known that the life of an importer of Jeep Liberty CRDs to Canada is humiliated into a great deal of time wasting trouble. Dealers in my city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada dont like importers. They call us “curbers.” A bad word. The Chrysler service departments dont like the Liberty CRD. The latest problem is when I must go to my local dealer to get the daytime running lights activated. DRLs are mandatory to satisfy the Canadian Auto Registrar.Dealers charge $90 for the Canadian module and they charge $90 to activate the module, which looks like a relay that goes into the left hand side dash fuse box. The US module plugs right in beside the Canadian one and when the programming is finished you unplug the US relay module. (It buzzes if you leave it in). Today the dealer took my CRD into their shop. I signed the waiver and in a half hour I get a call that they cannot get their computer to get into the Liberty’s computer. This means no DRL and no to any updates. I got back into my CRD and noticed the air bag light was on. I tried plugging the US module back in and also tried disconnecting the battery for reset.Nothing works. Dodge City service department Saskatoon, SK is stating no responsibility and will not hook their computer up to my ECU unless I agree to at least $2,000 minimum work order. The Jeep CRD and a Canadian importer are victims.

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 recently purchased a used 2007 Jeep Commander with a 5.7L HEMI engine. Before I bought the Jeep, I took it to a Jeep dealership and paid $150 to have a full inspection done. They passed the Jeep so I bought it two weeks ago. In the last two weeks, the Jeep has stalled three times whilst in motion! Last night, it stalled going 75mph on the freeway with kids in the car! This is just not safe! I called the NHTSA and they opened a case for me, but thats all they did for me. I called Jeep Customer Care, and they just told me I need to take it to a dealer and pay to have them diagnose it. I said, I just paid $150 for that. But no, they want me to pay a new fee for a new test. If you look online, this is obviously a very dangerous and very common problem with Jeep Commanders. (I wish I knew before I bought it.) How can Jeep get away with not recalling all of them? How can only certain years be eligible for recall? This is very unsafe. What will it take before Jeep takes action? A death? Im at a loss. I dont know what to do.

The dealership said everything was fixed. I had to pay for the trans to be serviced 20K miles early and pay for the car rental. I feel like they should have comped everything, their parts are failing. Then parts (Flood Lights) were stolen off my Jeep while getting serviced, what Next? The next day after getting the vehicle back the Check engine light came back on and the car shifted into neutral while on the freeway. This has been happening since about 35K miles, now at 40K. This is a dangerous situation and someone is going to die driving these vehicles with these trans shifting out of gear. Very sad for their top of the line jeeps loaded. I love the look of these vehicles but the auto transmission sucks! I wish I would have bought a manual. Please Recall the Trans before you hurt someone!

My jeep would not start when I went to go start my 2005 Jeep Liberty. Jeep would not start. I brought it into a jeep dealership and was informed that a piece on the steering column broke off, and that this is a common thing with this jeep. I am told I need to replace the whole steering column. When we went to go order the column, and we discovered that 400 people are waiting for this steering column.As of 12/28/2011, these 400 people are all on a waiting list for this part that is back-ordered. I am wondering why there has not been a recall on this steering colomn. I am without a vehicle for I dont know how long.

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.

2012 Jeep Liberty automatic transmission has a loud clunk when up-shifting
2012 Jeep Liberty automatic transmission has a loud clunk when up-shifting or down-shifting. It sounds like its coming from transmission or drive shaft u-joint. I took it to the dealership and the technician replicated the problem on the Jeep as well as another Jeep on their lot. The dealership contacted Chrysler and was told that Chrysler was aware of the problem, but has no fix or repair to correct it. They stated that it may be a software problem with the transmission control module(?). This has happened ever since the Jeep was new and it now has 5,000 miles on it. One of these days, the transmission and/or drive shaft is going to being lying on the road. And, all this time, Chrysler admits that they have a problem!

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

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

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.

If I can save even ONE person from throwing their money away on a Jeep Rene
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.

Ive always owned cars and I love SUVs. This Jeep Liberty has good gas mileage but had horrible suspension. Engine had to be replaced ball joints twice and locks keep malfunctioning. It does go good in the winter and four wheel drive is tricky but when you get it it works good. Price and the body style was also nice. It is roomy, convenient and I like the color, too. But a CD player, better engines and a better suspension would be nice. And fix the four wheel drive as well.

I bought a 2016 Jeep Patriot a year ago this month. Since the day we drove it off of the lot the XM Satellite Radio has not worked properly. It loses the signal every 1/2 mile or so and fades in and out constantly while driving, and it doesnt matter if were in town or out in the middle of nowhere. I have complained and had it in the shop repeatedly for this problem and all I ever get is lied to and called a liar because they cant duplicate the problem, even though Ive shown them no less than four videos of the radio losing its signal. My wife finally took the service manager at our dealership on a ride-along and proved to him that the radio is a piece of junk, to which he agreed. Corporate still WILL NOT REPLACE THE RADIO with one that actually WORKS.Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram SUCKS! I have own three brand new Hyundais, all with XM, and NOT ONE SINGLE PROBLEM, EVER! We have a so-called Case Manager from Uconnect who is about as worthless as ** on a boar hog. He whines that hes not authorized to have the radio replaced. Then why has he been wasting my time, dragging me down to the dealership time and again only to be told Im a liar and they cant help me. I may have an arbitration agreement that I was forced to sign, but it only precludes class-action suits. Im getting my own lawyer and I am going to sue Jeep under Nevadas Lemon Law. And its going to cost them a whole lot more than a radio by the time its over. Also, I will NEVER buy another Jeep, or anything else this fly-by-night outfit makes. Screw buying American, Im going back to the Koreans for my next ride.

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.

Pre mature wear of rear brakes 2010 Jeep Renegade - I came in for my oil change. I have 12000 miles. They came and told me my rear brakes where worn down and I needed a brake job for $400. I had it done and got on the phone to Chrysler to file a complaint. The rear brakes should outlast the front by 3 times. The fronts are ok. I see many others with the same problems but on 2010 & 2009 vans. They agreed they should have not worn out and sent me a check for the repair done. They could not assure they would not wear out again in 12000 miles or less. The service manager said a lot of them have the same problem. I think it is a real safety concern. I went to a speed shop and they told me it happens often to Chrysler products as the brake system has a poor design and cannot handle the weight of the 2009 & 2010. He told me next time to replace their rotors with double cross drilled rotors and that solved the problem for others. I think this Jeep is unsafe now because of the bad brake wear down and all they can do is issue a refund instead of solving the real problem. Now I have to worry about brake safety and have a pair of rotors waiting for the next time they wear out in less than 12000 miles. I hope others with the same problem will report it to Chrysler so they can make changes and resolve the problem that many are having with premature brake and rotor wear.

Bought it new from Lester Glenn, Toms River NJ, paid 42k. Was originally offered a year of free oil changes in writing, they never honored them - too much hassle so I just do it myself. Constantly receiving recall notices since 8 months after purchase and to this day (10/2016), Schedule with Cherry Hill Triplex to perform said recalls on several occasions - take off from work and then they tell me they dont have the parts and to keep calling them like its my responsibility?? This has happened twice so far.Third time they actually repaired the visor recalled due to possible fire damage. Tried to get leather dash fixed, scheduled a time, took a day off, got there and they said warranty guy was off today, eventually got there when he was in and he look at the dash issues bubbling - signs of peeling with around 20k miles on it, they said it wasnt covered and never even documented the visit. So now I have only 27k miles but exceeded the three year limit so Jeep Corporate says they would have covered it under warranty but not now, they offered a friendly, Well pay the labor. You pay towards the dash @ $800 or something. I spent like 12k extra for all the fancy leather & gadgets and it wont even last 4 years.

I purchased a 2011 Jeep Patriot new in August 2011. At 4000 miles, I pulled out of a parking lot and my Jeep would not go faster than 1-2 miles per hour. The RPMs when pushing down the accelerator to the floor would go past 6 and into the red, but the vehicle would not go. It sounded like the vehicle was in neutral with the gas pedal all the way to the floor. I turned it off and on several times and it was fine. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it and nothing showed up when they hooked it to their computer. This same problem has happened 7 times from April 2012 to April 22, 2013.The last time I took it to the dealership on April 22, 2013, their technician at the plant diagnosed the problem that the floor mat must be in the way of the gas pedal and that the engine is not getting fuel. Seriously? If the RPMs are at 6 or higher... then the engine is getting fuel. I am sick to death of this problem and no help from the dealership. It’s ridiculous and pathetic! Dealership is telling me there is nothing they can do because their computer does not show anything is wrong. Tech at Jeep says to fix nothing until it duplicates this problem while the dealership is test-driving it. Help!

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!!

But other than that, it has been a very reliable vehicle and all I have had to do is have it serviced.

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.

I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler 4-door. My soft top leaks which causes a horrible, moldy smell inside the car. Every time that it rains, I have to take all the car mats out of the jeep and dry the rugs with a towel. I then have to go to the back area where there is a storage compartment and scoop out the water that puddles up inside it. I will then keep all the windows open once the sun is out to let the car dry out. The smell still remains for days after. I was stuck in a rainstorm and water was leaking in all around the top of the door. My left arm and leg were both soaked by the time I got to my destination. I am taking the car to the dealer to be evaluated. I asked them if they have been getting many complaints about this and they said no. I dont believe them because I even got a letter from a lawyer who is putting together a lawsuit on behalf of Jeep owners because of mold and electrical problems, which are brought on by the leaky roofs. I hope they do the right thing for me. I am glad that this car is a lease and I will get rid of it in another year. Never again.

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

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!

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

I have had nothing but issues since I leased my Jeep Renegade in 2016. The most recent issues required for a part to be replaced, that was already replaced a year ago; as well as a second new replacement of a different part. I took the car back and forth 6 times in one month and the car had less than 30,000 miles on it. I contacted Jeep asking them to terminate my lease (10 months remaining) and they refused because it didnt meet the Lemon Law for the State of Massachusetts. They rather have me in an unsafe and unreliable car than do what is right for the customer and try to keep a Brand loyal customer. I will never drive a Jeep ever again. I would NEVER recommend Jeep to any friends or family.

I bought a Renegade 2015 and allegedly sold me a warranty against MECHANICAL MISTAKES; I signed a paper that says INSURANCE OF MECHANICAL FAILURES; It turned out to be a guayazos insurance and wash the seats if they are stained. The collection of the policy was $895.00 and the insurance has an invoice of $240.00 which I have a copy (MAPFRE IS THE INSURER AND THE INSURANCE IS CALLED AUTOGUARD). I can say that the Renegade Jeep is a crap is only aesthetic and the warranty is very short combined with the dealer who cheated me, not even gave me carpets or accessories any further, they promised change of oil for 2 years or 8 changes of oil but As the Renegade uses synthetic oil they only honored me only 4. I have already invested around $1000.00 and right now I am without a car until possibly on Monday the vehicle be repair.

A week later - the same thing happened while climbing Mt. Washington, NH. I had to do a dangerous U-turn and had no engine braking all the way down. After an hour, the problem cleared. The dealer actually told me that there is no engine braking on this car... Chrysler said that if the dealer doesnt find the problem then they will give me the car back.

The steering wheel of our new Jeep Liberty is too thick to get my very small hands around. It is also made of a smooth material. This is a bad design. When making turns, I have lost my grip on the wheel on many occasions. On one such occasion, I plowed into a post. Thank goodness it wasnt a child.

Ive about had it with this 2006 Jeep Commander nonstop issues and its never ending money pit. Sunroof leaks, gotten it fixed multiple times. Stalls switching from reverse to drive. Repaired that and it still does it. The right side power steering went, new rack and pin. Massive massive electrical issues, you fix one problem leads to another. The electrical issues dont stop!!! Since it takes hours and hours for the mechanic to pinpoint one electrical problem and thats just to give a quote. Then the car has shut off while turning and other vehicle coming at me, that ignition switch recall supposedly fixed that.My mechanic said stop putting money into this. He said the engine is going to go soon. I dont have money to just purchase another vehicle!! We have 4 kids. I cant afford a car payment so keep dumping money into this garbage of a vehicle to keep getting by. What other choice do we have. Jeep should be ashamed and recall all these awful Commanders. Get them off the road!!! Complete unsafe and I have no choice but to drive it.

Well, it started when I bought my 2007 Jeep Compass in 2006. Over the years, I have spent over $7k on ball joints (3 times), wheel hubs (2 times), struts, shocks and now transmission is going after 127,000. I have taken care of this vehicle (oil changes every 3k miles) and now its going to cost me $3100 to replace an entire tranny. Jeep cannot help nor respond with any answers. There should be a serious recall on all 2007 Jeep Compass.

My Jeeps window regulators keep breaking. I have installed four now and another just broke. I have replaced each window now at least once. The plastic nylon clips break and the cable winds inside the housing. Chrysler has not recalled the regulators. There is no recourse except to pay another $90 off the Internet and buy another one. I dont know how they can get by with this. There is enough complaints filed. What is your organization doing to help?

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.

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?

After work, I was heading home. I was taking the off-ramp to exit the highway when I lost control of my TJ Jeep (2000 model). It spun around and the side of my Jeep hit the concrete medium. When I got out, I inspected what had happened and was missing my back right wheel. It got thrown/rolled about 100 feet further down and the wheel was completely intact with rim, undamaged tire and a portion of the rear axle still attached to it. The rear axle just snapped off. The car was in good condition and there was no reason for the axle to have given out like that.

I have been dealing with many ongoing issues with my 2006 Jeep Commander 3.
I have been dealing with many ongoing issues with my 2006 Jeep Commander 3.7 6 cylinder. I have called them & emailed the company on several occasions about my dash lights just coming on & losing all power as I am driving. Its very scary because I always have my 13 yr old in the vehicle. No code comes up on the scanner when I have brought it in several times to the garage. Jeep Chrysler says they have not heard of this issue. I have found many many people with this issue online. Very discouraged with the same issue. There is so many wires & control panels in this vehicle it makes me nervous that some of these wires are fried & nobody can find it. I am exhausted with paying out of pocket with this vehicle. Yes its a 2006 but I can not afford anything else & I have had it for 5 yrs now. These issues started about 1 1/2-2 yrs ago. I loved this vehicle & with me driving everywhere for my daughters sports its worked. Now I get nervous & I dont trust it. Which makes me very sad. This vehicle has made me stopped doing stuff that I used to. Thats no way to live. I love Jeeps but this is making me not want to buy a Jeep again. Its something I cant keep putting money into. The issue I also have is the service engine light. Thats the catalytic converter. My mechanic told me to check with Jeep because it is something well known for breaking in them & there could be a recall. I did check & again they didnt know what I was talking about. This is the 2nd converter Ive put in the vehicle in 5 yrs. The paperwork from the 1 previous owner had also done it 2 yrs before I purchased it in 2014. Which in my previous vehicle that I had for 10 yrs not once did I put a catalytic converter in. After reviewing several reviews from Jeep Commander owners I decided to write a review out of frustration. I really would like to think Jeep would do the right thing especially with our kids always in our vehicle & future Jeep buyers deciding to not buy another Jeep. Thank you.

I have a 2007 pre-owned certified Jeep Liberty under 80,000 miles. My car wouldnt start so I had it towed to the dealership. I was informed that there was a rod in the steering column that attached to the ignition that shirred off. The part is backordered on 398 vehicles and there are none being made. How is this acceptable? Chrysler needs to support their vehicles! I am without a car. My car is my office on wheels. My car is now sitting at a dealership and I am paying about $80 a day for a rental! This for a 2007 car! Chrysler needs to do something about this!

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

My Jeep Patriot is good and reliable. I drive easily to work every day, over 50 miles, and get around on my rural gravel roads, which can get really wet or slick in the winter and spring, and dont always get plowed quickly. Plus they are hilly, so I need 4 wheel drive often after bad weather. The engine is good, but not very powerful. I would like to feel a bit more power when I press the gas pedal. I also got bigger tires for my jeep, as the original tires were kind of small, and I wanted more powerful looking tires. Other than that, I like that its an SUV, a 4 wheel drive, has lots of room in hatch, leather seats and is comfortable. I really wanted a Jeep, as I had a Jeep in the past that I loved, with the classic Jeep look.

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.

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.
