Jeep Automobile Model 2017 Jeep Compass
My 2007 jeep commander wants to stall when starting off. It remains locked at 35 mph, until I shift it to neutral, and back to drive. The dealer cannot find the problem. I fear that it will get me into an accident at some point.
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 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.
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.
No fender for Jeep Patriot in South Africa - Ive been without my car for 5 weeks as West Rand Panel Beaters were not able to find/source a fender in S.A. They have referred me to Albert **, Parts Sales Executive of Chrysler Jeep Dodge Fourways and Ive been told to log a complaint as the part is currently being shipped in from U.S.A. How can a brand as big as Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler not have such common parts in S.A? Im really frustrated. I work for FNB Cellphone Banking and I know what service is and this is a load of **. Can I have a response from the CEO, Director since your managers do not have the time to contact me as I have sent numerous emails with no response for the past 2 days? None of these people bothered to call me!
Bought new 2014 Jeep Patriot. This vehicle was operated according to break in options in Jeep manual. The check engine light came on at 800 mi. Jeep was taken to dealer and light turned off. Mechanic stated that there was a BULLETIN? I left with the Jeep. Again at approx. 1500 mi. check engine light came on. Jeep was taken to dealer and light was turned off. The explanation was they had no idea what was causing the problem. A Chrysler REP he said? was at the dealer and told me the engineers were working on the problem? I told them I bought the new car for peace of mind not for worse problems than I had. The REP told me to drive it and dont worry. I am 66 YOA, have had heart surgery and need a vehicle that wont strand me or cause me undue stress. I decided to purchase a different 2014 Patriot. I asked the Jeep customer service for help and was blown off after several contacts. I was told that We fix problems, not help people buy new cars. The personnel at Jeep lied to me several times and played games with my complaint. I was referred to three different case mgrs. All I asked was for help with Tax and registration fees that I had paid twice in less than a month. I intend to somehow find a contact for someone in management. These people are on a pedestal and are hard to contact. This attempt at peace of mind has cost me thousands. I need HELP.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Have a 2009 Compass covered less than 19000 miles from new. It has a fault which causes the engine to go to limp home mode. The local Jeep dealership has carried out various works to a total cost of nearly 1000 euros, but cannot cure problem. They are now suggesting further work of around 10000 euros but are not sure if this will solve the problem or not. Jeep seem to have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it. I am at a total loss as how to move forward... Pay 10000 euros which may or may not cure the problem or scrap a virtually new car because the manufacturer is unable to repair it. IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING A NEW JEEP, THINK AGAIN.
I have a new 2011 Jeep Patriot. The car does not even have 2K miles on and the brakes squeal. The dealer has already replaced the brakes, and the problem continues. Its been a week, and the dealer is still waiting to hear back from Jeep. I guess my life is not important to Jeep.
The 4-year-old 2008 Jeep Commander has rust and two big spots on the hood. The dealership in CT wont fix it as it’s not under warranty. So, if you expect your paint to last more than 4 years, you may want to look at other cars.
I have had NOTHING but problems since I purchased a Jeep. RECALLS that do NOT HAPPEN, years pass, then they supposedly fix it and soon afterwards you have major problems. The p41 recall is a joke and a scam. They never had the proper part to fix the problem. They were getting a lot of complaints and having to pay for rental vehicles for people who complained to their attorney generals. Then they lie to you and tell you the part is available when it isnt. When you catch them in their LIE, they back off and wait a few months and then tell you the part is available. Shortly thereafter, your starter is fried??? This company is evil to the bone and if you are a FOOL...then go buy a Jeep.
I bought a 2007 Jeep Compass a little over a year ago. Having problems with the CVT transmission. Any other Compass owners having any problems with transmission overheating and high RPMs but cannot pick up speed?
My mom had purchased a brand new 2003 Jeep Liberty sport in 2003. Everything was good with the car for a while except it idled high and then the fan went out. When we had that replaced, the ABS light came on and really has never turned off. The mechanic had unplugged wires and messed with fuses, but it never was fixed. There also was a recall on the lower ball joints, which took forever for the dealership to send to us. Now here is the interesting part, we live in a remote area of Alaska and it does get cold. Last Wednesday, I went out and started the jeep and it ran about 10 minutes before we heard this loud boom in our house. I looked outside and the car had blown up and was on fire back by the gas tank. The car is a complete loss, the whole inside was burnt to hell, there was nothing left. The fire department said the case was an equipment malfunction. They think either the gas line or tank froze and then cracked or something. I have read online about the gas tank problems other Liberty owners have had and that is really scary. I am just thankful no one was in the car and no one was hurt.
Ive had an overall decent experience. I dont love the Jeep but its reliable enough. The Jeeps design and features are very appealing. It has heated seats, a sunroof, a lot of extras, and its nice to look at. There are also chrome rims. It connects my phone through the radio too. Its durable but I bought it certified from the dealer and as soon as the warranty expired I feel like I keep having to replace parts. Ive had a lot of little mechanical issues go wrong as well. Also, when my teenagers sit in the back there isnt much leg room and I cant seem to have enough space to bring things. Our leather seats also get cold in the winter, and have some tiny tears now.
While driving on vacation, on the 2nd day, my 2008 Jeep at 41,138 gave out on the transmission. I had to stop in MS State for repairs costing $3,699.13+135.60 car rental. Upon returning home, I called Chrysler who is willing to pay only $1,500 with no explanation or were concerned as to why the Jeep did what it did. I have been at this since August 14. Today, I am told the check for $1,500 is on the way but I have asked them to reopen the case as I am still not satisfied nor was I given any reasons except that the Jeep loaner has any warranties. It seems the Jeep had three years, 36,000 and no more. My question was whatever happened to power train warranty of 80,000/100,000?I find Chrysler staff incompetent to do their job in dealing with their customer and has no lack of concern over this early transmission issue with the Jeep. Mind you, they acknowledged it is an early problem but because they feel there is no warranty with the car, they were not going to further review why the transmission failed. They never called the dealership where it was repaired to this day. I have reported them to the TX AG and NHTSA/DOT and will continue to post this issue on any website that will alert any consumers on this automaker. Now that the case has been reopened, I will wait and see what the outcome will be the second time around. There was a day when I asked for the Chrysler corporations phone number. The operator gave me to their roadside assistant line.I am very angry and very frustrated at the way I have been treated. By the way, they not only asked me for the repair bill. They had the gall to ask me for my credit card statement to show that I really did pay for the repairs of $3,699.13. How do you like that for treatment by Chrysler Customer Care? I would like all Chrysler owners to review their warranty and those that are thinking of buying any Chrysler products, read the warranty book before buying their cars.
A number of times, the transmission felt as if a clutch was slipping. This happened first thing in the morning a number of times. The dealer changed something he called the valve. 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. Basically - they are calling me a liar. KEEP AWAY FROM CHRYSLER!!!
Jeep does not stand by their product! Sorry everyone for my rant, but I have to go off about Jeep customer service and how awful they are! We have had a Jeep Liberty for 6 years which we bought brand new. We have had to replace every window twice, one - three times, the air compressor three times, the relay switch, the battery three times, the cruise control doesnt work (and hasnt for 4 years!), and the heat doesnt work when it gets really cold (so when you need it!), and now the car just dies for no reason despite regular maintenance! Jeep customer service’s response to every single one of these claims (with the exception of the windows since that is something every 2006 Liberty is experiencing) is Not our problem! All I asked them to do is take their piece of crap car back! Would they do it? Nope, it’s not their problem. They said you can try to get out of under the car at your own discretion. So, tell me, if their cars are so great, why dont they want them back? Because they are awful cars! Dont ever, ever, ever buy a Jeep! They are awful and will not last. Do not buy a Jeep!
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 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.
I leased a 2017 Jeep Renegade. Since August 2017 this vehicle has failed to start every time and has been in and out of the shop for more than 40 cumulative days. I am very disappointed in the vehicle and at this point accepted the fact that the vehicle is unreliable. The vehicle has had numerous parts replaced by the dealer (eg. harness, fuel injectors, brake switch, etc). I want other people to know what experience I have had as this has not been a fun ride.
Transmission keeps shifting into neutral. Check engine light goes on. I have to pull over and restart to get the Jeep to have power again. There is something wrong with the Trans, shifts very hard not smooth at all. Who designed this piece? Did damage to the rear end and I think it was the trans shifting so hard that it broke things in the diff. They had to rip it all apart but did comp the rear end. 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!
I was pulling out of a parking lot onto a busy highway, when my 2008 Jeep Wrangler started honking and the lights started flashing. It stalled for a few seconds, then I started driving again. I made it 1/2 block to the stop lights, at which time, it did it again and stalled completely. I was able to coast through the stop light and turn onto a side street, where it stopped in a very unsafe area. I immediately called for help and couldnt even get to make my hazards go on. We have since had it towed to a dealership, and we are waiting to see what they come up with. 1 month ago, the stabilizer bar went, causing us to be thrown into oncoming traffic over in Detroit. We had that fixed (quite a cost) and found out this is also a common issue with these jeeps. From reading on the internet, both these things are common problems, but Jeep will not own up to these things. These trucks are horrible and unsafe! We bought ours new, and we have never gone 4x4ing or abused it in any way! We still owe 2 years of payments on this piece of junk, and we are afraid to drive it, because it is a death trap!
The 2010 Jeep Commander had a problem with the transmission and was told it was the torque converter and was in the shop for approximately a week. It is in for a second time for the transmission and was told that it has to be rebuilt, not replaced. It has been almost 2 weeks and still no vehicle. This is our fourth vehicle from this dealer and we also have problems with our 2008 Dodge 2500 Big Horn Diesel which has been in twice for a turbo problem and still having problems. We are very unhappy and would like some sort of satisfaction. Thank you for your time.
This is the third car I own, my first two cars were Honda and now I am currently driving a 2018 Jeep Compass. I have been driving this car since August, on 2/26/19 around 1:30pm I was driving for about 2 minutes when I stopped at a red light and my automatic stop/start turned my car off, I pressed the button and my car started again normally. As the light turned green I moved my foot from the break to the gas and my car did not move. I pressed the auto again and I still did not move, continued to put my car in park and nothing would work. I had to restart my car twice before it would move. This all happened while at a green light with cars behind me. On 2/27/19 at 2:45pm I started my car and while I was still driving pressed the auto stop/start, I get about 200 feet further before my car starts slowing down on its own and shut off. I waited some time before restarting my car. On 3/1/19 at 2:30pm I did not have auto stop/start on, I was driving for some time and my car started to slow down again so I pushed on the gas to accelerate, it would not accelerate and I was able to pull over to the side when my car came to a stop on its own and the emergency break light came on on its own. I waited some time again before restarting my car. I do not feel safe driving this car as it is dangerous to just stop on its own. **Please note the vehicle has approximately 2965 miles on it as of 3/2/19.
I bought a 2007 Jeep Patriot and the check engine was on. I had it put into the purchase paper work that it need to be fixed upon my purchase. I had my dad pull the code on it and it was a P2004 intake manifold stuck open. I informed the dealer of the code and they said that they will get it fixed and they had to order the part. The dealership had my Jeep for three days and when I got it back, the light was off but the next day, while driving home from work, the light came on again. I again had my dad pull the code and he said P2004 intake manifold stuck open. Upon further investigation of the engine, he also stated that there doesnt seem to have been any work done on the engine. What can I do? I cannot afford to put almost $1000 into a vehicle. The dealership is being uncooperative as well.
I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot and my car continues to stall. While driving down the highway with my baby, a 2-year old, the call stalled and I had to use the momentum from before hand to steer over to the emergency lane. Upset and shaken, I called to tell my fiance because all this began after having a routine oil change just four days earlier with only one day of driving in between.In either case, Im in the emergency lane just moments before a possible rear ending. The car now parked and turned off. I waited five minutes before restarting it. As soon as the car was able (meaning it kept stalling within same day), I took it back to the dealership. They told me the oil is fine and that now my check engine light and oil indicator light is on. Im baffled. It wasnt before. They asked me to pay them over $400 to diagnose and perform preventive services that werent needed prior to them changing my oil.I left with intention of contacting corporate FTC (1-877-) and NHTSA (1-888-). To my distress, these events happened four more times before I made it home. My home is a five-minute drive from the dealer. I am petrified to drive it. I am so scared that if and when it happens again, I wont be able to get to safety before something horrific happens. As I read similar complaints to that of my own, I see that Jeep has made this a recall issue for Cherokees and Compass only and that is what baffles me. If this issue is occurring with Patriots as well with different year makes and nationwide, isnt that at least worth looking into considering the safety issues it poses?
The seat cracks constantly, yet intermittently, in the lumbar area. After replacing the same part 3 times I contacted Jeep customer assist. They proved to be 100% worthless, calling constantly and repeating only the information I had originally given three months prior. I asked for some research to be done, knowing that others on line had similar issues. After writing to the corporate office I finally got someone to listen. Chrysler paid for me to have a third party modify the seat back mechanism. The problem is that the part is too short and in a certain area it slides off the plastic and causes the cracking sound. It can be fixed and they will pay, but you must be tenacious.
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 love my 2018 Jeep Compass but I am having issues with the back up camera. I have had the camera replaced once. This didnt resolve the issue so the radio was replaced. It started having a black screen again. Finally the dealership was able to see this issue and they are ordering yet another radio Another issue I am having is the drivers side seat panel keeps popping out. No Im not morbidly obese. This has been fixed 4 times. I just picked my truck up the Friday after Thanksgiving and it is now back broken. Was told by the dealership these issues are known issues and that I am going to keep having them.
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 2013 Jeep Patriot about 5 months ago. I loved it up until about 10K miles when I first started having problems. It has the CVT style transmission in it, and has now overheated and left me on the side of the road 4 times now. This latest time I sat on the side of the road for 21/2 hours in a remote area where I had no cell service. I have determined that it happens just about every time the temp is over 90 degrees outside - happens frequently in southern Louisiana and I have sustained between 70-75 miles an hour for more than 1 hour - I commute 1-1/2 hours each way as I live in Mississippi, and the majority of the highway speeds between here and there are 70 mph. I have been fighting with Chrysler for almost 2 months now. I was ecstatic when I got a call from corporate last Friday telling me they would be happy to buy back OR trade-in my vehicle. Now the corporate guy here is telling me they absolutely will not buy-back my vehicle, they will only trade. I have been unable to find another Chrysler vehicle in my price range that suits my needs since it must be MSRP to MSRP. I am still actively fighting, and considering getting a lawyer at this point.
This is about the 2006 Jeep Liberty recall of heater/AC blower motor. The recall was performed and the motor was replaced. After replacement, the # 1 and # 2 speed fans/blowers were no longer operable. I contacted the dealer who replaced blower motor. I was told this often happens after blower motor is replaced as resistor blows. It is not covered under warranty or recall, even though the direct cause was due to recall replacement of blower motor. The estimated cost will be $150-$200 to repair.
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.
On May 19 I was told I need a transfer case which would be covered under warranty. It is now August 2 and I am being told it will still take another week. I can barely drive the car. Ive been told repeatedly that it would be in on a certain date, only to have the date slip week by week. I now understand why they refused to give me a tracking # the last time I called. Each time they pass me to a different case manager. I am convinced that Chrysler just doesnt want to do warranty service.
Bought a new 2014 Jeep Cherokee, it was leaking oil and shutting off on the highway. They replaced the whole engine after 24,000 miles, now at 47,000 miles it needs a second engine. Can you imagine to replace 2 engines before it hits 50,000 miles. A complete disaster and failure for the so called JEEP.
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 would like to let it be known that Jeep compass is very unsafe. I went for an oil change to find out my steering wheel is ready to go out of control. The Jeep is bought on 2008 and only driven to and from work. The local driver said it’s loose and want to charge me over $1,000 to fix not only that has terrible blind spot which is unsafe. I had a Caviler for 13 years and never had something like that happen. There should be a manufacture recall.
I bought my jeep in August 2014. I first had problems with it September 26, 2014 with the transmission. The dealer fixed the issue and said things were fine. On November 8th, the lights came on and it wouldnt drive. Had to have it towed again. I stated I did not want this car. The dealership stated they talked to Chrysler and they would not do anything. On December 29, 2014, I was driving the engine and another light came on and the car hardly moved and would not go into reverse. The car is at the dealership and I am waiting to hear if Chrysler will now admit it is a lemon. The car appears to have problems every 2,000 to 2,500 each time. I am extremely disappointed and upset with Chrysler. I owned a Jeep Compass from 2011 to 2014 and had no problems.
I had an accident on 1/4/12 where I hit another vehicle going 35 mph. My vehicle was imbedded in the back end of the vehicle I hit. 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.
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?
This vehicle has a Mercedes 6-speed manual transmission, which you would assume would be an excellent transmission. It completely failed with slightly over 60,000 miles on it. No one will rebuild it due to the cost of tools and parts, so a new transmission from Jeep is the only solution. Chrysler basically told me to go away, as they had no intention of helping me with the problem. Whatever happened to that legendary Jeep that was bomb-proof and ran forever? This vehicle is trail rated - think I want to take this piece of junk on a back road in the Colorado mountains? Chrysler has no pride in its vehicles. Any wonder why they went into bankruptcy?
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.
2009 Jeep Patriot - Stalling issues, mechanics dont know and cant fix because there is no warning lights, the Jeep is dangerous to drive, too many others complaining of the same thing. Chrysler doesnt seem take care about putting peoples lives at risk.
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.
Ok, I had an issue with my jeep stalling as I was driving. Theres no noise, it ran quietly, but it just stalled. After a little while, I got it started and I went straight home gassing it to get there, then I parked it. After a couple of hours, I went back out to start it and it fired up like no problem occurred! But the next time I got in it, it started; and it was heading down the road, and it stalled on me again in the middle of an intersection endangering my life! Thank God, I had help after an hour or so; and I got it pulled into a parking lot to be towed later. We were told it was probably the fuel filter or pump going bad. So we forked out $200 to get it changed. Did that change the problem? No. It started up again. I took it down the road and it stalled out again. So with this going on, I did some digging on the internet and found others were having these issues.A lot were saying that the PCM module is bad. So I called Jeep to find out about a recall on the PCM module. They said I had to take it to one of their service places to get verification that this was the issue. They couldnt get it to start and said I needed to change an SKIM module ($375.00). Its more out-of-pocket. The reason the SKIM module got burned out, by what the mechanic said, was because of the power control module. So now that 1 month or so has passed and my daughter has a heart condition and my mother is 3 hours away having quadruple bypass surgery, I dont have a vehicle to get there and be with her. And I finally got a response from Jeep Daimler Chrysler that it isnt under warranty to be fixed. Even though its their malfunctioning part that was put on the vehicle when made, they dont want to be accountable for it. So either we pay the $800.00 for the PCM module or I dont have a reliable safe-driving vehicle. How can manufacturers get away with this?
At 68 miles, the check engine light came on. I returned to the dealer and was told the oxy sensor was bad, but it was okay to drive. At 300 miles, that did not work, and I ordered a computer and was told the car was okay to drive. At 1000 miles that also did not correct problem, so I left the car at the dealer. Two weeks, the car is still not fixed and Chrysler is not sure what will fix it. Customer Service keeps putting off the option to buy the car back. It is now 24 hours since I was last contacted by Jeep. They keep coming up with one more thing to put off resolving the problem. We bought a new Jeep Compass with 2 miles on it and have not had car for two of the 4 weeks we owned it. Even the dealer agrees that the car should be bought back.
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.
The brakes on our 2009 Jeep Commander have been squeaking very loud since we bought it. I have taken it in a few times. And the dealer said its just how they are. I paid for brake inspection to have them tell me that every time. This is our third Chrysler. If this is not taken care of, I will no longer be a customer of yours. I will let my friends and family know. I will try very hard to push a Ford or GM product on them! Thanks. Vince :)
The Electronic Shift Modules are faulty on 2006 model Jeep Commander Esmeralda. The manufacturer is aware of the problem and refuses to recall the product or make part available outside of the dealer. This simple fix has cost me hundreds of dollars to fix twice. Im on my third repair and the dealer will not admit faulty craftsmanship.
I took my 2006 Jeep Commander to Odessa,Texas repair shop on June 27 to have the AC fixed. That went out 60 miles from home on Sunday, June 26. It was in the shop for 15 days. Got it out July 11. I was told two-three days and it would be ready. Fifteen days later, it was ready. No parts had to be ordered for the AC. One part was ordered for the temp ready inside of jeep on Thursday and received on Monday morning and then it was ready that afternoon.This will be the last time we will buy any brand that you sell. I had doctor appointments and a lot of errands to do. It was very hard for family and friends to stop and take time to help me out. I am very unhappy about this problem and something needs to be done about it.
The a/c stopped working in my 12-year old Jeep. My regular mechanic couldnt figure out what the problem was, and suggested I go to a Jeep dealer who might be able to figure it out. I went to Manfredi. The staff acts like they are doing you a favor by letting you pay them a lot of money to not fix your car. Terrible customer service. They rush you in to a service rep who doesnt even bother to make eye contact. Theyll tell you they are going to call you with an estimate. Dont expect to hear from them. You have to chase them down and then they act like you are a nuisance for bothering them. They replaced the accumulator for $700 and the a/c worked for four hours. I returned the car to them on Monday, and it took them 5 days to figure out the problem was a leak in the evaporator, which they conveniently blamed on my original mechanic. They said they would fix it but it would be at least four hours labor (at $99 p/h) plus parts. Rather than put any more money into the old car, I told them I would pass on it. I now have a new accumulator that I didnt need and the a/c is still not working. No one could explain why the evaporator leak didnt show up in their original diagnostic.I thought about fighting to get the $700 back, but realized I would get nowhere. I had planned to buy a new Jeep in the fall anyway; the old one will go to my nephew. But I will never deal with Manfredi again. They can keep the $700. Ill give my $25,000+ to another Jeep dealer.
I bought a 2008 Jeep Liberty. I purchased it off of the used car lot, however, it only had approximately 3,000 miles on it and had never been previously owned. I have been having problems with my drivers side window not being able to go down most of the time. Although when I did get it down, it would always go up. Finally, it stopped altogether and the switch actually broke off completely. I spoke with a person at a Jeep dealership about this. He quoted me a price for the part then let me speak with the labor department. When I spoke with them regarding the labor, the man did not have to look up the price. He knew right away down to dollars and cents. After reading about the same problem over and over, it seems like this is obviously a defect on Chryslers part and this needs to be recalled.
Dashboard material is all wrinkled and de-laminating. Dealership not interested, Chrysler Canada not interested in helping with the issue. $70,000 vehicle that now looks like hell. Tires from new only lasted 50,000K and 4 wheel transmission motor failed 2 times in warranty and once costing me $900 just outside warranty. Never will buy anything from Chrysler again.
I pick up my new Jeep with the nav sys and it is incomplete. Took back to the dealer which sold to me and was told after a long period that was the nav sys. I would have to live with it. After 11 Jeep Grands this is the last one. Paid a lot of money for the nav system to get screwed on it. I am stuck with a system that is useless to me!!!
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 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.
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.
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.
On or about May 16, 2012, I began experiencing a horrible mold type odor emitting from my AC unit of our 2012 Jeep Liberty. On May 21, 2012, I brought our 2012 Jeep Liberty to the service department of the Faricy Boys Jeep Dealer in Colorado Springs, CO. They kept the vehicle for two days, diagnosed the problem and replaced the evaporator core. I picked up the Jeep and immediately detected a rubber type odor. I contacted the service adviser and was informed that the odor was the coating on the new evaporator core and would disappear in a couple of days.On June 1, 2012, while driving to work, I experienced the same odor and again returned the Jeep. I spoke with the service manager, who agreed the moldy odor still exists. He suggested possibly misting the vehicle to get rid of the smell. This was unacceptable and would only mask the cause. The Jeep was left at the dealership again with a request for a loaner vehicle. The service manager informed me that it was not their policy to provide loaner vehicles. We are making monthly payments of a new vehicle purchased by us to provide necessary transportation. We now do not have use of the vehicle due to a defective AC systems or component and are required to submit to the policies of the Jeep dealership. Jeep engineers have been contacted by the mechanic and have suggested contaminated antifreeze. This Jeep is an absolute lemon and we want it returned to the dealership.
My wife was driving our 2010 Jeep Liberty and pulled out from a red light. The Jeep would not stop accelerating and she was going 60mph in a 25mph. She was pushing the brake with one foot and holding the gas pedal up with the other foot to try to get it to stop. It wouldnt stop until she put it in neutral. The brake should override the gas pedal but didnt. This Jeep had the APP sensor replaced due to defect 11 months ago and after being towed to dealership, I was told it was the floor mat that came with the vehicle from the dealership. It was towed back to our home where it still sits undriven. I cant believe after two incidents they act as if we are making this up. There seems to be issues with Jeeps drive by wire system and the APP sensor is an issue. Why not leave the old cable system alone? It worked fine for 50+ years.
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.
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?
Daughter was in an accident where she said that she gave the Liberty a little gas and it jumped forward. She rear ended a Saturn. She hadnt driven the vehicle much since she was only 16 at the time and I put it off as inexperience. We had a gas cap error appear on the information center and after 2 trips to the dealership, they found out that a hose had a hole worn into it by the wiring loom. I sealed the hole temporarily and cleared the error code. I noticed that when I revved the engine and held at a constant RPM of 2000, it would rev to 3000 RPM and fall to 1000 RPM without any fluctuation of pressure on the gas pedal. When I revved it to 2000 RPM, again it went back up to 3000 and I removed my foot... it did not quit revving. I turned the Liberty off and took the seal off the hose. Same revving pattern. Took to Landers McLarty in Bessemer and the service manager is now aware of the issue. STAR(?) ticket is to be opened with Chrysler.
2012 Jeep Liberty Sky rider roof will not stay closed. I took it back to the dealer and they stated that Jeep no longer repairs the Sky Slider roof. Took it to a repair shop and they told me that they could not find parts as Jeep stop making it and there is no after market. I am stuck with nowhere to go. Jeep/Chrysler should do something to help all the Jeep aficionados who have the Sky Slider roof.
I had rented a Jeep compass 12/09/16 and that day I had a roll over accident. I drive professionally and that day I drove at a safe speed for the road conditions. Speed at about fifteen to twenty mph before applying the brake. It had snowed and there was ice conditions. I attempted to stop at a stop sign on a paved road base when the car began to shut down (clicking noises) but the car seemed to pick up momentum. As the car ran through the stop area. The road changed from paved base to a dirt road base. I continued to apply the brake. As the car came upon the dirt road I was hoping the dirt road would provide grab but the momentum continued. The car slid from about twenty feet when applying the brake before the stop sign plus across about a twenty-foot dirt road base slipping for a total of about forty feet. As I viewed the ditch (luckily no water in it) I was headed for, with a ten foot drop, I thought I did all that I could and prepared for the hurt that I and the car will have. And now, two days later, I use the term terminator. I felt the car had its on will. Applying the brake did nothing. I hope this vehicle is recalled because I could of easily not have been viable now.
I own a 2015 Renegade with 47k miles and it has been in the shop three times in the last 45 days. It is currently in the shop now going on 31 day and it is still not fixed. It is have a power and drive issues that they have pointed at electrical as the main issue. I have opened a case with Jeep Corp and they have not done anything to assist the dealership and the case manager David and his manager Samantha have done nothing but hang up on me and not give a ** about me the customer. I have made two payments for a car that I can’t even drive and they won’t give me a loaner for more than the first 10 days. I am screaming at the top of my lungs get off your ** and send or get the right person on the phone with the dealership to fix my Jeep. If anyone wants to get any further info and you are from Jeep call Xtreme Dodge in Jackson Michigan and they will know my case.
I have a 2006 jeep commander and I have a recall for the ignition. When I called the toll free number to find out how long is going to take to fix the problem because I have a baby on the way and I dont want to drive my unsafe car with a newborn, I was met with rude woman named Jillian with the ID number **. When asked what the time frame for the wait time would be for my car, she basically told me that she had a no information about it and said that I would have to wait for a letter and then refused to give me the contact information to anyone above her. I told her in a few months I would be having a baby, her response was dont drive your car. Chrysler has some great people answering the phone calls
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.
2010 Jeep Liberty 3.7 liter engine with 74400 miles on it - I bought my Jeep last July 2015. I have had it in the multiple times for the water pump, heater core, thermostat, misfire several times and now brought it in on Wednesday August 3, 2016. It was loosing fluid out of the overflow so we called and brought it in to the shop and now they tell me that my engine is toast because we blew a head gasket. Nice right. I still owe money on the Jeep and my husband is disabled and we only have 1 vehicle. How am I going to bring him back and forth to the doctors and I have to work to make money and we dont have a pot to piss in. And I just spoke to Jeep helpline and they said they lend me a helping hand because after 7 minutes on the phone that we dont fit any of the criteria to get help. WTF. So much for Jeeps. I will not ever buy one again. You suck!!! My last Jeep is 16 years old and has 168000 miles on it when I sold it and it still running and never had a problem with it!!! Thanks JEEP.
I bought my first jeep February 2014, since had one recall. Been to the dealership for same issues several times. And driving off the dealership, same problem is there. The vehicle changes from auxiliary, to the xm radio, to regular FM radio. The car also while is parked and gears are changed, it makes a sound. Right now, Im sitting at the dealership where services are given. Spoke to the person dealing with my case, explained my concerns, told her needed a case number, said I needed the manager whom is not in. Im extremely frustrated, freaking out. My job doesnt allow me to take time off for this type of issues. To make matters worse, I been having this issue one month in after getting the car and just now manage to have a day off to schedule yet another appointment. A year later!! Someone please help. 50,000 plus down the drain. Im very disappointed. My first jeep.
2006 Jeep Commander - Seat belts are getting locked and you cannot retract them. Afraid something might happened in the event of an accident with the seat belts. Im unable to use the passenger and one of the third row seats. They are locked.
At 41,000 my service light came on. Took to the dealership and was charged $803 to replace the $71 thermostat. Talked to customer service and they told me to submit my receipt and they would file a claim. We know of 2 other people who own the same vehicle and both had to have their thermostats replaced at similar mileage, so INDEFINITELY A KNOWN PROBLEM. After a 45 day wait they call and tell me that my claim is denied because I am out of warranty. Obviously I told them that from the get go, so why have me file a claim? Also, back door handle fell off. What a piece of junk! We bought this vehicle new. Weve always bought Hondas and other than oil changes, brakes and new tires weve never spent a penny on repairs. Live and learn. STAY AWAY FROM JEEP.
I am a corporate manager for a global company in Austin, Texas and am embarrassed in front of my colleagues to have purchased a Jeep. I am extremely disappointed in my much anticipated custom ordered 2011 Jeep Sahara 4D 4x4, VIN: BL611285, purchased/picked up on May 13, 2011.I have purchased a Lemon and am extremely disappointed and embarrassed with all the issues I am experiencing with this Jeep. It has left me stranded multiple times, where Ive had to pull over and wait on the side of the road. Twice it had to be towed, the farthest has been 150 miles away from my residency. This has affected my life and interrupted my work schedule several times.On August 15, on multiple times, Jeep had to be towed to dealership due to loss of communication with computer. Repaired on August 10. On August 2, the second time the Jeep went to dealership due to loss of communication with computer. Hot oil and warning lights caused me to pull over, then Jeep would not start. Work was performed on Aug. 10, re-flash computer. On July 14, 62 days from purchase date, I brought the Jeep to shop for miscellaneous issues and concern on rough engine start. On June 23, 41 days from purchase date, warning lights flashed on. During this time, I saw hot oil flashing pulled over and called towing. Work was performed (replaced wind module sensor--this seemed to address warning light issues).I am frustrated beyond belief that I am now considering following the recommendation of my Lemon Law lawyer, in addition to reporting my experiences with the BBB, plus publicize to numerous colleagues, family and friends on why they should not purchase a Jeep from Chrysler.I purchased the Jeep upon recommendation from family members who also recommended Jeeps to several friends, some actually purchasing from Chrysler. Im done and no longer have patience to waste valuable time on a vehicle that Im literally afraid it will leave me stranded.
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.
The window regulators on my Jeep Liberty broke for a total of 5 times now, multiple times on the same windows. Jeep is aware of the problem and refuses to do anything about the problem. However, they just love to charge up to $500 to fix the problem for us. Just look at how many consumers have been burnt by this same problem.
The window regulators keep breaking in my 2006 Jeep Liberty. I am now out $450.00 and I am being inconvenienced everytime they break.
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!
We purchased our 2007 Jeep Commander with less than 30,000 miles and the car only had one owner. Several months after purchasing the car, we had several instances where the car would just shut off. We took it to a local Jeep dealership a couple of times and they said they could not find anything wrong. Six months after we bought the car, it left me stranded in December at 10 pm on a major highway. I had to have it towed. The water pump went out. I was able to pull over as soon as the engine light came on. We had the repair done, but the car always had a slight vibration and just did not seem to have the power it once had.We took it to the dealer three times after that. The first time, they said they could not find anything wrong. The second time they adjusted something and the engine light, that had come on, went off. They said everything was okay. After two days, the engine light came on again. We took it back and they said one of the coils was bad, so we replaced it. Two weeks later, I left work and the car was vibrating so hard when I started it. I thought the engine was going to blow right there. I turned the car off and had it towed to the dealership on 2/17/12 and as of 5/22/12, it is still there. They replaced the engine and the new engine overheated due to a defective part. We were advised a new part was ordered, but we are still waiting.We went to get the VIN off of the car about a week ago to turn off our satellite radio since we were not getting to use it and a rat had built a nest in the dashboard and chewed our owners manual. They have had our car for almost 3 and 1/2 months. We have been dealing with Chryslers customer care along with the dealership, but that has been a disappointment at best. They give us dates of when the part will arrive after we call, but they dont follow up on anything. If we dont call, we get no information. I have owned a Ford Escort that I bought new and drove it for 13 years until someone hit it and it could not be repaired. I have a 2000 Honda CRV that I bought new and after all these years, I am just now having to repair the air conditioner and some other minor things due to wear and tear over the years (the Honda now has 180,000 miles).I have bought several other used cars which I paid only a few thousand for and have never really had any problems with them. This is my first experience with a Chrysler product and I will never purchase another Chrysler again. After doing some research, I now see the issue with the car shutting off was a known issue with a module and they knew it all along and lied to us about it rather than trying to fix it. They might look good from the outside, but the craftsmanship and the service were terrible.
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.
Central Jeep Norwood, MA refuses to accept the service contract which covers the wiper motor. The dealers mechanic also cracked my windshield. Customer service at Chrysler Headquarters says they have to go along with the dealer.
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 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.
I just bought a 2006 Jeep Commander, love it except for during the recent rain water leaked through my Sunroof and flooded my car with about 1 inch of water on the passenger side. After doing research online I guess this is a normal occurrence with the Jeep sunroof. I think this is ridiculous that due to a design flaw I now have to find someone to clear the blue tube within the sunroof and pay someone to get the water out of my car that Im sure has now damaged the carpet and foam underneath. Ive called Cerritos Jeep, I did not purchase car there, however it is a dealer and no help. How is this my fault??
Cannot drive in rain, are it stalls, & lights inside & out act up, problems with brakes, inside seat parts broke, speed sensors blow abs system!! Problems front ball joints, cvc boots. This have been going for 3 years!!! SICK OF IT!!
2017 Jeep Renegade, problem car: 56,000 miles power steering went out, belt is intact, Power steering module is bad, must purchase steering rack (not sold separately) with module. Repair cost about 2014$ plus tax. Will not be purchasing another Jeep product. Had Dodge Journey with 89,000. Did not have any problems.
I was heading home from a weekend away in my 2007 Jeep Commander with 62,000km on it and I heard a weird noise coming from the engine compartment. Then I smelled antifreeze and I start losing power. So I pulled off the highway and find a safe place to park, opened the hood and noticed that the fan blades that were attached to the water pump were hitting the alternator and I also noticed the antifreeze pouring out everywhere. I called road side and they told me that a tow truck was on its way, but I had nowhere to stay as I was several hours away from home and no rental car company was open to rent me a car as it was late at night. So I spoke with roadside assistance and they assured me that a rental car would be covered while my car was getting fixed. So I found a place to spend the night and rented a car the next day to drive home. When I got home the next day, I called customer service and they informed me that the rental car was not covered and that I was out of luck.
Jeep built to last. Jeep liberty is great on gas mileage being a diesel. Its great with pulling trailers and hauling. Great performance. Been in our family for years. We love it. Does what its name stands for... JEEP.
The customer service provided by Jeep and its affiliated mother company Chrysler is just plain AWFUL!! I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty and the window regulators on my car have broken THIRTEEN times since Ive owned the vehicle. Jeep was willing to repair the first 12 and has since refused to offer to pay the $475 it would take to repair the next broken regulator. Would YOU be naive enough to pay $475 dollars for something that happens THIS frequently? How would you feel if Jeep and Chrysler both said they werent willing to help you? And, suppose another regulator breaks next week - am I expected to pay $475 AGAIN??? My window is currently held in place with masking tape because the motor that powers it suddenly died (thirteenth time!). People can see how easily they can get into my car now.The replacement parts are faulty, the service for this takes 3-4 hours at a time, and Ive never once gotten an Im sorry or a thank you for your patience. You do the math - thats 36-48 hours of my life WASTED on THE SAME ISSUE. My time means nothing to these companies and neither will yours. Chrysler doesnt care about you. Theyve been giving me any excuse they can find to NOT help me! And Jeep has been no help since the issue should have been fixed during THE FIRST REPAIR! My most recent regulator issue broke on 4/7/17 and Ive been arguing with Chrysler and Jeep for TWO MONTHS because neither of us want to pay for the ** service. Why should I fix it? Why should I keep my car? Why should I ever buy any Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram products ever again?
I bought a Jeep in October (2017), not from this location but this is where I brought my car in for repairs. FIRST I NEED TO SAY WARRANTY ISNT COVERING A WARRANTABLE FIX - let me tell you a bit first... I was leaving for work last Saturday, 3/3/18, and my CV axle/ball joint malfunctioned. I bought my 2015 Jeep Renegade from Centennial location called Prestige Jeep... location (where I will leave a review next) and it was pre-owned. I dont know if this malfunction is due to the vehicles prior use (clean Carfax though) or due to a bad joint. There were plenty of other Jeep recalls on front drive axles since 2015. Anyhow, I have drive to and from all of my patients homes, (full-time nurse) and to and from UNLV (full-time student at 18 units!!!!!) and twice to the grocery store and gas each month. Thats where I have drive. This is a 2015 Renegade with 14,675 miles on it and the axle/ball joint is malfunctioning and the vehicle is undrivable. I bought extended warranty but dont waste your time and money doing that because not even the Jeep original warranty (5 years/60k miles) wont cover it. Lol and they had the NERVE at the SAHARA location to call me while my vehicle is sitting in their lot unfixed and ask me if Im interested in purchasing another Jeep LOL!!! UM ** NO. IM NOT BUYING ANOTHER JEEP OR ANYTHING UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF JEEP/CHRYSLER.
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.
First - I never wanted a Jeep, but my husband came home one day and just like on the ads he said, I bought a Jeep! You did what??? I didnt believe my ears! Without even asking or talking about it!!! And he repeats again with a cheeky smile. Then I realise he isnt joking... I was not impressed! Eventually he got me to try it. Must admit he made a fine choice. Amazing value for money, drives very nice and great fuel economy. Highly recommended. The local dealership (Perth, WA) isnt providing first class after sales experience when it comes to it, but there is no fault I can find with this vehicle. Love the seat warmers too. :)
On August 29, 2012, I brought my 2010 Jeep Liberty (26k miles) to DarCars Jeep in Rockville, Maryland because my Sky Slider would not close. My Liberty was in the shop for 80, yes, eighty days! The shop replaced the Sky Slider two times, Jeep engineers flew out from Detroit, and then the manufacturer of the Sky Slider built a new one on the factory floor. Yay, it appears to work but I am selling it, I refuse to own a car from a dealership that cannot stand behind their product. Not only has Chrysler Jeep refused to take ownership of the defective Sky Slider they are refusing to cover the 77 days I had a rental. So, I pay a monthly car loan for a car I cannot drive then have to pay $2k in rental fees on top of it.I have written letters to Customer Relations (following the warranty guidelines for complaints) only to be told they were transferring my problem to another department. I still havent heard from anyone at Chrysler Jeep. This is my second Jeep - my last Jeep. Jeep has refused to stand behind their product. Jeeps dealership (the face of Jeep to the public) continuously ignored me during the 80 days my car was there. I would have to call three to four times a day to find out the status of my Jeep. When I asked if they could provide me a contact at Chrysler Jeep they said they would handle everything. Who is going to handle my $2k in rental? Single Moms, dont buy a Jeep. Get a car/truck/SUV from a company that actually works for their customer and stands behind their product because if it was up to Jeep I wouldnt have gotten to work every day, my kids to school and their activities.
I used to own a 2010 Jeep Patriot. I have driven Jeep for 21 years until today, 12/8/14. The vehicle in question was not paid off and not even five years old. Both ball joints went bad in the vehicle and had to be replaced. This is unacceptable for a vehicle this young. The first ball joint was fixed under warranty. The second ball joint went bad not even a full year later. I contacted Jeep about the issue and faxed them all of my paperwork from my mechanic. I was then strung along for over two months and finally got an answer that they would not reimburse me the part and labor for putting in the other ball joint. The customer service representative that handled my case I found to be condescending and aloof. So for Jeep to save a couple of hundred dollars they are willing to let a customer go who was willing to stick with Jeep for life. I figure within my lifetime I would have bought at least five more vehicles from Jeep. Well no more. I have formally broken my relationship with the brand and went with a Japanese competitor. To anyone who reads this stay away from Jeep because they do not take care of loyal customers! I do not want to see any other families spend hard earned money on a product that breaks and is unreliable as the Jeep Patriot.
We purchased a 2007 Jeep Commander less than a year ago. Within the last few months, every light on the dashboard has flashed on and off. When the heat is on, the heat will totally shut off. And now, the widows act like they dont want to roll down and the back door doesnt unlock all the time. We have taken it to the Jeep dealership and paid to find out what was wrong with it. We were told that they didnt know why and they cant find anything wrong with it. So we paid to be told that theres nothing wrong with it and the Jeep is still doing this. Please respond and help me as to what to do with this Jeep. Thank you.
I 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 2006 Jeep Commander is nice and big with 3rd row seat. Great for my big family. Has enough room for everyone to have drinks. I like that my daughter can charge her phone in the 3rd row seat. Leg space for everyone is also good. Overall a very good buy and I am very pleased with it. It has everything I was looking for. If I ever have to buy another car I will be sure to get another Jeep Commander.
I purchased my 18 year old son a Jeep Renegade two years ago. He recently broke down and the Jeep had been at the local dealer’s for almost two months. The dealer, as well as corporate, are stating they do not have the coolant fan in stock and they are not even manufacturing the parts any longer. I have no vehicle and paying a car payment on this. Very unprofessional and no accommodations are being made. I now get a generic email from an escalation person at Jeep Corporate and they are very vague and stated we will get another update on parts in October. Very unsatisfied with my first Jeep purchase and would not recommend to others. I can’t drive the vehicle or even sell it as it does not run.
