2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee - I just wanted to reiterate what another user has
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee - I just wanted to reiterate what another user has stated about the drivers seat lumbar cracking. I have noticed it cracking fairly regularly, but intermittently - and I have not yet found a fix. The previous user stated that a piece is too short and needs to be repaired. Does anyone have any info for me so I can communicate this to my dealer. Thanks.

I purchased a 2005 Jeep Liberty new from a local dealer in Mesa, AZ. The day we picked it up, the water pump was found leaking and was replaced. Now in October 2011, we have replaced the water pump seven times. And as I write this, it is back in the shop for a leaking water pump. The last one lasted three months. We have had the rear differential replaced three times and it is howling again. All the window regulators have been replaced at least three times each. We are so afraid to drive this vehicle out of town. We rent one instead to go to the mountains or to travel to San Diego. Our government wants us to buy American. Why should we? The USA cannot build an auto like 30 years ago. Im very frustrated and will never buy a Chrysler product again nor will anyone in our family do so.

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?

I own a 2005 Jeep Liberty Sport. I have had to replace window regulators at least 5 times. Usually the dealership took care of it but I had to pay for a few. And now, in 2013, the last one replaced has broken again. But this one was already replaced by what I was told was the improved window regulator. But just like the old ones, it had about a 2-year life span. But the dealership only gives out a 1-year warranty. Just for this reason, I do not recommend a Jeep Liberty unless the window regulators have been upgraded from the cheapest plastic to metal.

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?

The Jeep Compass has proved to be good. I have not had any issues with the make or model of the car. The crossover style is good for my current lifestyle and needs. The seats fold in to create extra space for moving or transporting large items. It also allows me to have space and to feel safer on the road because of the size. I dislike the radio that it came with initially. However a new one could be installed easily enough with the proper tools. I also dislike the handles on the backseat doors as they are a little hard to open.

This car is such a lemon and even worse. FCA never would honor even the basic warranty. I owned this POS for 8 months and was overjoyed when I was able to trade it. The transmission is the worst shifting vehicle ever and it was useless as a 4WD because the transmission would overheat and disable 4WD every time it went off road. Nine trips to two different dealers and they just repeat the BS phrase of Operating as Intended and Cant duplicate the problem. The car is dangerous in traffic and breaks down off road, a total disaster. I will never buy a Fiat Chrysler again and think this corporation should be prosecuted for out and out fraud for not honoring warranties. Customer Care is just a time wasting charade that goes on and on for months.

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.

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.

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.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 53k - I owned other jeeps with a good experience but now that Fiat owns them and quality is in the toilet. Engine light on less than 3000 miles, wont start, computer problems, and that is just a few. It spent 3 months in shop of the 7 months I owned it. I filed for Lemon law and Chrysler bought the car back. It is a very good looking car but has no quality at all. Bought toyota 4 runner with 25k miles and not one issue. Stay away from Fix it again tony aka Fiat who owns Chrysler. Their products are worse than the junk from the 80s. Mercedes Benz lucked out dumping this company!!! Oh and lets not talk about the lack of any service at the dealerships either.....I spent 53k and treat you like crap. Go buy lexus toyota etc - now there is service. Hope they figure this out. I am sorry for all the other poor suckers buying this junk.

How many people have to report that Jeep products have engines that are defective and are ruined by the valve seat dropping?! We just spent $4000.00 on a 2002 Liberty and the dealership said, Hey we fixed those valves in the new one. Well how does that help all of us that got stuck with the old engine? The rings were made with powdered metal that ends up shattering. Please look into how often this happens. Jeep should reimburse people.

I paid $3000.00 for a lifetime warranty on my Jeep. I have never missed an oil change and I check all of my fluids but my Jeep Liberty does not have a dip stick for the transmission fluid. My transmission went out in my Jeep. I was so happy that I purchased the lifetime warranty until I took my jeep in and found out that they will not pay for my transmission because they said the oil pan rusted and the transmission fluid leaked out. The jeep dealership never mentioned any rust or leaks when I got my oil changed, there is no light that comes on on the dash to indicate low fluid and no dip stick to check the fluid. I paid an extra $3000 for that peace of mind but now I have to pay another $3000 for a new transmission.

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.

Ground squirrels chewed through the wire to my horn and I took my Jeep in to the dealer. They said the warranty did not cover the repair job, and said it would take 1 and 1/2 hours to fix. The Jeep Sat in the lot for 45 minutes before they said it was ready and charged me 150.00 dollars to fix the horn wire. I told them it should have been covered and that I would let their competitors know that the Mighty Jeep is not rodent proof! They laughed and took my money. I had a GMC Sierra for 17 years and never had any rodent problems. I think Jeep has a design problem. I looked into rodent problems online and found this to be more common a problem that most would think. Will wait for the class action lawsuit to get my money back! I have a receipt of the transaction, have contacted Jeep with no reply yet. I also contacted GMC, Chevy, Toyota and Ford. So far GMC and Chevy have responded. I thought they would be interested in Jeep problems.

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

I was awarded a buyback/repurchase lemon law. Customer service has been no help to me either and 2 months later Im still awaiting for this to be settled. They do not stand behind their product and their customer service is lacking.

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.

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.

My daughter was driving her 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee along with moderate traffic in the left lane of a main road at a speed of 30 mph in a 25 mph area. It was dry with a temperature of about 60 degrees. When the light turned red at an intersection, my daughter applied the brakes to stop, but the car didnt stop. She resorted to slamming on the brakes 2 times and by the 3rd time she slammed the brakes her car crashed full force into the car in front of her pushing the car into the center turning lane. My daughters car then crashed into the next vehicle which was a box truck. Her airbags did not deploy. My daughter was trapped in her car, but did find a way to get out. I made arrangements for an inspector from Chrysler to go to the body shop to inspect the car to see what may have caused the brakes to malfunction and the airbags to not deploy. Within a few days of the inspection we received a letter from a Mr. ** from Chrysler. The letter was dated the day after the inspection stating that it wasnt a manufacturing responsibility and that all parts operated as designed. Something caused the brakes and airbags to malfunction even though Chrysler wont admit to it. If my daughter would have been going at a higher speed on the freeway, she would have been killed. Chrysler is not returning my phone calls, emails or my certified letter.

At 30000 the thermostat failed; at 50000 miles the water pump failed; soon after the head gasket blew; then the head itself; then the water pump again; the heat; the alarm would go off when driving; had two batteries die due to a draw somewhere; the camshaft had to be replaced; the cam sensor; oh... lets not forget the oil sender sensor and now back in the shop because it randomly stalls at speeds over 40 miles an hour.

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.

My wife and I bought a 08 Commander three months ago. When taking it to my mechanic to have an oil change performed, he saw a leak coming from the engine block. I contacted Chrysler and was told to take it to a dealership to have them diagnose the issue to see if they could help cover it. The dealership found a crankshaft seal leaking which I have replaced at the time, granted the vehicle only has 30,000 miles on it. Chrysler informed me that they cannot cover it because they can’t tell if it was pre existing when we bought it or not. I will definitely remember this when my 05 Ram and Jeep need to be replaced when I find a different make to buy. They fail to realize that the main issue is that stuff is failing in the engine and transmissions of all their vehicles with low miles. The US tax payers helped bail the auto industry out and they can’t help the people who purchase their vehicles by backing up what they sell.

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.

I have purchased a brand new 2016 Jeep Latitude. 900 miles in, I notice a high pitch noise coming from undercarriage. When I shift into neutral the sound goes away. I took in to the dealer in fulton missouri for service on the issue. They clearly could hear the noise but the diagnostic machine shows no issues. They called Chrysler corp. Chrysler told them that they were aware of the problem but do not know what it is, they are working on it. They said there is no fix as of now and the dealer has just sent me home with this defective vehicle. Im reporting this because I want others to be aware of this problem before they run down to purchase this vehicle. Basically they want me to just drive it until whatever is wrong breaks all the way down. This is my first new vehicle, Im not sure really what to do. The fulton dealer is willing to take it as a trade in but they are trying to talk me out of that and finally took me to a 2015 with close to 30,000 miles on it as I wonder why someone traded that back in, hmm, maybe it had transmission problem too. They also offered an extended warranty on the problem. My thing is I have bought a brand new vehicle with a problem that more than likely is going to have more problems! Im wondering if anyone has one of these vehicles with the same issue, or perhaps Ive purchased what will become a lemon for sure. Ive seen the transmission problems here on the 2014 and 2015 models. It looks to me like Chrysler has had this problem for a couple of years and I dont understand how they dont know what is wrong with their product. I paid 28000.00 for this vehicle and I will lose a couple thousand dollars if I trade it back in as it now has 1041 miles on it. I wish I would have seen these complaints before I went with a jeep product. The problem is I do like the vehicle, I took a long time to decide on this thing and went with what I liked best. Again does anyone have this vehicle who has not had any problems at all with it. Im willing to trade for exact same one if there is a chance Ive just picked a bad one in the bunch. I do think these corporations should not be able to stick you with a defective product right out the gate. I do understand there is a lemon law, but it has to be in many times for the same thing and as of now there is no record of a repair because they dont know what to repair! Very upset about my first new car experience.UPDATED ON 04/29/2016: My 2016 jeep Latitude is a 4x4. Like I said the high pitch noise goes away if the vehicle is shifted into park or neutral. With the vehicle in park, when I turn the 4x4 knob from auto to snow etc. I hear the high pitch ring shortly as it is switch into diff 4x4 options. Vehicle is still in the Park position. This leads me to believe this problem is in this 4x4 switch. I returned to the dealer to let them know what I had found. They said they would make a note. I also told them I had never in my life taken a vehicle into a mechanic who came out and told me yes there is something wrong with your vehicle but we dont know what it is and still could not believe Chrysler Corp mechanics dont have a clue.Perhaps they should hire me, as I have given them more info on the problem than they have given me. I also told them I have gone to the Ford Dealer here in Fulton and found they have a Chrysler lot in Illinois and are willing to take this vehicle in as a trade on a new vehicle with 3 miles that has no 4 wheel drive options on it. That was my request - get rid of the 4x4 and get rid of problem. Again I would like to know if anyone is having this issue with a 2016 Jeep latitude. I left the Fulton Chrysler dealer and within 20 min or so I was being called by a salesman.Now mind you the salesman calling me is not even the one who sold me the vehicle in the first place. He ducks me when I go in. So salesman calls me and says we dont want to lose your business and to give them a chance before I trade in to ford. I tell them I want a new vehicle with the same low miles. That was 20 miles when I purchased it the first time. I understood I had 1041 miles on this one but I was removing the add on of the 4x4 to a fwd instead. I still wanted the v6 option and they could even drop the 8.0 u connect. These 2 add ons equal a little over 2000 dollars. I was interested in a even trade out. Or they could just purchase this vehicle back from me.Well that statement got a stutter from the salesman. They call me back maybe 45 min later. They tell me they have good news and bad news. The good news is they can even trade for a model that has no v6, no power seat, no 8.0 uconnect. No 4x4. Or they can give me exactly what I want - no 4x4, no 8.0 uconnect, Ill have power seats and v6 engine but it will cost me 2995.00. Oh and they will give me 25000.00 for my trade in. Which I paid 28000.00 for. So Ive lost 3000.00 on the price, Ive dropped over 2000.00 in options and they want another 2995.00 to do the deal. Does not sound like a deal to me. I still have my vehicle and am waiting on Ford Dealer to call with their deal. Still dont know what will happen.

I purchased a 2013 Jeep Rubicon of Valentines Day 2014 from Bob Baker Jeep
I purchased a 2013 Jeep Rubicon of Valentines Day 2014 from Bob Baker Jeep in Carlsbad CA including a Premium Maintenance Package for my wife. It has been a struggle to get the maintenance performed on the vehicle (oil and tire rotation). The front tires were wearing irregular causing a really rough ride and a lot of noise. I took it to the first dealer twice and they indicated that there was no problem. I called Chrysler Customer Care and they sent me to Big O Tires for an inspection. Big O said the tires were bad due to a suspension issue. I took the Jeep to a second dealership and they said it was not a car problem and it was a tire problem. This evaluation was done solely by a visual inspection. I called Customer care back and they had me take it back to the dealer for yet another inspection. They determined that there was no problem in the suspension. They determined that that the tires needed to be rotated very 6K miles or at every oil change. The premium maintenance package that was sold to me which was specifically for the Rubicon only specifies rotation to be done every 10K miles. At this point customer care says its not their problem. The dealer has only offered to pick up half of the cost (their retail price) of 2 new tires and will not change the maintenance plan to meet the minimum recommended maintenance (ie. tire rotation at every oil chance). Or I can buy another maintenance plan. I will NEVER buy another Chrysler!!!!!PS. I was able to work with BF Goodrich and independent tire dealer (Americas Tire) to get 2 new tires for the same price as the half off price of the Chrysler dealership. It includes tire rotation for the life of the tire for free. The customer care group at Chrysler have been the worst group I have ever dealt with!!!!!!!! They dont return calls or respond.

I have a 2007 Jeep Commander. I have been having issues with not starting/stalling. I can be driving and when I shut it off and then go to turn it back on, it will not start. All I hear is a clicking noise under the hood by the long black fuse box. The lights, radio, etc. all works--it just wont start. This only happens every so often. I have not been able to narrow it down. No one seems to be able to pinpoint what the problem is. I have had so much money wrapped into figuring this out. I went online to try to see if anyone else has these issues. I was amazed at how many complaints of my kind there are. Wow. Jeep is getting away with this. I have been stranded so many times and unable to drive my Jeep Commander.

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

I bought my 2007 Jeep Patriot brand new. About a year later, my jeep stalled at a light. It was raining and started right away so I figured maybe some water had gotten into a hose or the engine. It didnt stall after that for another year. Since then, it stalls every time it rains! I am so fed up with Jeep not recalling their vehicles for known issues. It seems like someone has to die and a lawsuit has to be filed before they do anything to fix their problems. I am so tired of having to invest money in this car.At around 60, 000 miles, I had to replace both ball joints. Even with an alignment my car still vibrates at high speeds. The transmission struggles when accelerating. Ive had to replace all my rotors! My driver side window squeals as it is rolled up. There was a mysterious leak thru my trunk that resulted in water being accumulated where the spare tire is. Took it the dealership and they replaced the rubber gasket but the damage was already done. I service my SUV regularly so I wouldnt expect so many problems. I use fuel injection additives to make sure the fuel system is clean. I change my spark plugs on time. I never had this much problems with my 2000 Galant.

How is this acceptable? Chrysler needs to support their vehicles! I am without a car. My car is my office on wheels.

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.

Brought back to dealership 48 hours after purchased, they lied and never told us they had policy where they take car back if within 5 days, instead they jerked our around for over a month and the car was in service 3 times and yet no service, invoices documented. Contacted GM since day of purchase and still no word from him. I have also left numerous messages for serv. mgr. Mike who stated We want you happy. Call me anytime and once again, no callback. NOW, FILED COMPLAINTS WITH JEEP CORP., DCH CORP. because this could be detrimental to my health and wifes or any other passenger.

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.

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 have a 2006 jeep commander. I bought it 2 years old from dealership. I am experiencing a problem. When I go through the smallest of puddles, my belt must slip and I lose my ability to steer properly. Like having to power steering. I have brought it to my mechanic and have now brought it to jeep. No one not even jeep knows how to fix this. There has been references made to an undercarriage shield, yet jeep says my car doesnt have one made for it. The service department told me to avoid going through puddles at all costs. Do you know how impossible that is when it rains. So I have a Jeep Commander and I cant go through puddles.

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 my 2008 Jeep Liberty in 9/2011 - 18,000 miles. I have had consistent problems with the sky slider roof, which is now being held on by duck tape. It will not close at all. Sounds like Im in a tunnel driving. The noise is deafening. Its came off track before and I got it back on track, but now it wont close or open or nothing so using duck tape is my last resort. I cant afford the ridiculous price of getting it fixed. Tempted to glue it shut. This is very annoying and not my first time as a jeep owner but it will be my last. Someone needs to do something. This could cause major damage to anyone driving behind me as it has come close to flying off. I cant get it to close at all and now I have water damage beyond repair to my interior. So much for jeeps.

I purchase a brand new 2009 Jeep Liberty in August 2009 from Manhattan Jeep
I purchase a brand new 2009 Jeep Liberty in August 2009 from Manhattan Jeep in New York City with the understanding that there was at 36,000-mile bumper to bumper warranty and an unlimited powertrain warranty. As per the warranty, I had my service routinely done at Riverdale Jeep in Bronx, NY. At 34,000 miles at 10:00 pm while on the NJ Turnpike with my 3-year-old son in the car, my car started overheating. I pulled over, popped the hood and smelled radiator fluid. I looked at the bottom of car and noticed radiator fluid dripping from under the car. I thought I had a radiator leak. I called my husband and he brought me radiator fluid, we put in the radiator fluid and the car turned on, it was not overheating so we attempted to drive home (to be looked at in the morning at jeep). The car started overheating again, I pulled over in the gas station re-popped the hood brought more radiator fluid poured it in and noticed it pour out of the bottom of car. There was a mechanic who looked at car and noticed the water pump was totally broken. The mechanic indicated that this should not happen until about 100,000 miles. The car was towed to Little Ferry Jeep and they called me stating that the water pump was broken and that there was engine damage due to the broken pump but that they were voiding the warranty. I told them not to touch my vehicle and called a tow have my vehicle brought to my Riverdale Jeep dealer where I do my services.Little Falls Jeep changed the water pump without my permission and left a warranty hold on the engine damage that was directly caused as a result of the broken water pump as per Riverdale Jeep. Riverdale jeep was unable (even though they indicated that it should be covered) to cover under warranty due to Little Ferry changing the water pump and putting a void on my engine repair. Sonny, the mechanic at Riverdale Jeep in Bronx, NY explained to me that the engine damage is a direct result of the broken water pump that Little Falls took out of my vehicle without my permission. Sonny also indicated that since the water pump was totally broken, none of the coolant would have gotten to the engine and that the overheat light or sensor would not have told me this until a couple of minutes and that is why I have engine damage. Three cylinders need to be replaced, not the total engine as Little Falls would have led me to believe.Now I am paying $3,300 to Riverdale to fix damages to my engine that resulted from the defective water pump which all should have been covered under the lifetime powertrain warranty. The car is less than 2 yrs old. I want the $3,300 back and my powertrain warranty re-instated as per the purchase agreement.

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

Jeep Commander 2007 Stalling Problem for 4 Years: The Commander will start
Jeep Commander 2007 Stalling Problem for 4 Years: The Commander will start stalling 1st time after 30,000 work is completed. It will stall once every two weeks or so and escalate to several times a day. When I take it in for service, unless they can duplicate the issue, they make us take it back. So, we are, basically, driving it until it will stall daily. We have nearly (my wife and my daughter) been in two accidents due to the stalling, with cars coming at us in excess of 60 miles per hour. Eventually, we will get to the point that it will stall and all the lights will cut off and it will turn back on while driving on the highway at 55 miles per hour. We have filed 2 suits with Chrysler ** and **. They are this point putting the pressure on our service company, Prince Frederick, MD Jeep, and they have done everything they can. Chrysler is acting as if they have never heard of my situation and the danger they are putting my family in. However, I can find investigations on my year and model on Consumer Affairs and USDT Investigation EA07-007 and PE07-009 as well as a ConsumerAffairs.com report dated 5/01/07 pertaining to this matter. We are so worried as what to do. I can not drive with my daughter and my husband drives all the way, too, into DC from Dunkirk, MD and I worry about his safety. I just want a safe vehicle for my family and they use us as there guinea pigs to drive until it is in a bad state and very frightening. We have lots of hills and people drive very fast in this area which makes it more frightening to stall. My daughter is too afraid to get in the Jeep and she cried last time we nearly were hit on our way to take her to school. Please help us. We dont want to trade it in so another family could be hurt and be in this situation or a teenager!

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?

I bought a 2012 Jeep Liberty Latitude on 8/13/12. My sales experience was great, I must admit; however, I have had this vehicle 3 weeks and have had it in the shop 3 times for the same issue! They did nothing the first time, cleared the codes, told me to bring it back if it happened again and they would fix the problem. This is after being there for 4 hours. 2 days later I have the same issue. I took it back to the shop and 6 hours later I am told they still are not sure why it is happening after they put 25-plus miles on it test driving it and said they rotated the tires and need to see if I am having a control module issue or a TPMS issue. They said to bring it back if it happens again. Two days later, it happened again and so today I dropped it off at about 9 am. At around 4 pm, I get a phone call that they need to keep it overnight and they will set me up with a rental. They cannot find the control module they are looking for. It’s not where the book says it is. Now, I am really aggravated. I bought a brand new vehicle so I would not have these problems and yet in 3 weeks they have had the vehicle 3 different times and now overnight! I’m calling to complain to Jeep. I’m not sure it will do me any good; however, I believe this will fall under the Virginia lemon law.

Where do I begin? I bought this Jeep brand new and outright with 36 miles when I drove it off the lot. It was great until 40,000 miles I had to replace everything in the front end. Mind you this vehicle is not used for off road. It is used for basic daily driving to and from work, errands, etc. After that was replaced I made a turn only to have scalding hot water pour into my driving foot while wearing sandals. I took it back to the dealership and asked to be notified of the problem before it was fixed. I was not called until the end of the day when I was told to pick up my vehicle. I was then told it was a clogged AC unit and was charged $300. They did the work without my consent. The troubles kept coming after that! About a year ago while driving down the road, my car began to violently shake with my daughter in the vehicle with me. My tie rod broke while driving about 40mph. Luckily I did not crash and was able to gain control of the vehicle and pull off the road. That makes the second time things in the front end were replaced all before 100,000 miles. I am now over 100,000 and no longer have a warranty. Two months ago I paid 1,000 for engine issues. My traction control light is always on, now my check oil light is on and dinging over and over while driving. There is a sensor failure that informs the car of the oil pressure. I have plenty of oil. Then I went to leave for work and my Jeep would not release the shifter out of park. Upon research this is an electrical issue where the transmission does not recognize the brake is being pressed to release the vehicle out of park. I was finally able to get it out. My blower motor for the hot and cold air does not work and needs to be replaced. I also have paint bubbling up right above the windshield and the roof of the vehicle. Not sure if this is related but in New England winters like this past one where we have a ton of snow and ice I have water that leaks into my interior light and comes through the light. So basically my car sucks and I thought I would at least be able to get two more years before I had to buy a new vehicle but this is not the case. I am having more and more issues! So from 40,000 to its current 119,000 this car has been nothing but a headache! I am so disappointed and so badly want to call Chrysler and tell them all the issues Ive had in a basically brand new vehicle (I know its not now but at 40,000 it still was). Ive owned many Jeeps over the years and I will not be purchasing another Jeep!!! I dont feel safe even driving to work in this POS!!! It looks nice on the outside but just ask me about the anxiety, stress, headache and money this vehicle has cost me and you wont think its so nice!!!

Bought a Jeep patriot in 2012. All of the plastic on interior was just hang
Bought a Jeep patriot in 2012. All of the plastic on interior was just hanging due to plastic clips breaking. Took to dealership because of skipping and poor acceleration from stop in automatic. It whined and smelled like something burning while going uphills and even in lower gears struggled. Occasionally, when I would start car, it would sound like it was going to throw motor through the hood. Their tech told me that they just have crappy transmission and it would get worse with time and mileage but said they couldnt do anything about it because technically theres nothing wrong with it. Traded Jeep in and couldnt be happier! Will never own another Jeep or Chrysler product again.

I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty and about a year and a half ago my window came crashing down suddenly. After taking it to the dealer I found out that the motor was broken and the window regulator was cracked which I was told holds the window in place. Just last month the same window I had replaced came crashing down again. I had the regulator replaced again. Now today the other rear window has come crashing down. I have filed a complaint on the safety of the windows and I believe a recall should be made. These parts are $300 each and every time they need to be replaced. I believe everyone who is having the same issue should be making a claim.

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.

2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited - Never liked how my transmission shifted but wa
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited - Never liked how my transmission shifted but was told by salesman that is how the 9 speed reacted. Received recall in April 2015 for PCM and TCM. Had the updates installed. Informed Jeep dealership there was an issue with my tranny. Made appt on Jun 25, 2015. They couldnt verify my concern but would note it as such. Stated they did install a new flash update. On July 1, 2015 I was stopped at an intersection. Light turned green, partway through intersection my jeep came to an instant stop. My park sense, ignition, and crash warning lights went off as well as my transmission. I could not get my vehicle started. After several attempts it started and as I shifted to drive I heard a loud clanking sound. I was able to hobble the jeep to the dealership. As of today, July 7th, they have ordered a valve body and transmission wiring harness. My vehicle has less than 9000 miles. The instant stall could have caused a serious accident with the potential for a fatality. Thank goodness it was during early morning hours. I am very frustrated as Jeep knew there were issues with these transmissions yet they placed them on the market. I still owe several thousand dollars on this rig that I now fear will continue to have issues. I do not know how long it will take to receive the parts and complete the repair.

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.

Sometimes my Jeep Liberty 05 will stall while Im driving, many time when Im making a turn! This is so scary that I stopped driving it when its raining, because thats usually when it happens. I called Chrysler and they said its my responsibility to maintain my vehicle. We have 4 and the jeep is the only one that malfunctions. Theyll have a huge lawsuit on their hands, or they could just fix the issue with all jeeps. There are thousands of complaints online about this issue and something needs to be done about it or someone will get killed driving their jeep! My daughter drives it sometimes and it scares her too!

Im experiencing stalling, shuddering and shaking. I was told by a Jeep dealer I need an Electronic throttle control body. Of course they whipped out the cost but not the solution. They let me leave with the car like that. The next day I received a lightning bolt warning signal and the car stalled in traffic jerked forward and continued moving slowing in ongoing traffic. This is a safety issue and I advise other owners with these problems to report them.

I pulled out of my parking spot while gently accelerating the gas pedal when my 2009 Jeep Liberty shot out of control. I attempted to break however, I was unable to stop the vehicle despite taking my foot off the gas pedal. As I was coming upon a busy intersection, I contemplated bailing out. Rather than doing so, I put the vehicle into neutral and pulled the emergency brake then turned the vehicle off. Once I was calm, I turned the vehicle back on, noting again unintended acceleration with the electronic throttle control light blinking. I eventually had my car towed to a dealership where they said they need to replace the throttle plate but were uncertain why this occurred. I contacted Chrysler and told them the issue and my persistent apprehension in driving this vehicle again. They reassured me they would not release it if it was not safe to drive. Although I was unharmed, I fear that this vehicle is unsafe to drive. After reading numerous similar reports, I am appalled that situations such as this continue to occur with this make of vehicle.

I took my 04 jeep in for oil leaks from front and rear oil seals. They removed the transmission. Now, the transmission shifts wrong and hard. Also, transmission has a hard time engaging and disengaging. Also, my windows and door locks don’t work again. I put the Jeep up on a rack and found the transmission vent tube hanging torn ground wires that were not disconnected when transmission was removed along with missing tarns oil pan bolts.

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.

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.

After having a tiny fender bender, or flair bender in this case my car need
After having a tiny fender bender, or flair bender in this case my car needed to have some minor work done. After waiting a month for parts I decided I was tired of waiting. I was going to be proactive and go above the body shop to see if I could get any help. After contacting several dealers who could not answer the simplest questions about the parts, I decided to call Jeep on my own. I used both the listed contact email and phone number from their website. After being put on intergalactic hold on 1st call, hung up on when I asked to speak to a mgr on the 2nd call, the third call and 3 hours of time actually let me start a case claim. I was told their “excellent “ customer service dept would get back to me within 48 hrs. That’s not excellent when you are having issues that have already taken a month to be addressed. I have to be honest when I say I couldn’t wait the 48 hrs and called back after 24. Again given a scripted runaround statement or “FACTS” as they called it and told that I could keep waiting for my case person to contact me but they were not going to tell me anything different than what she did. Her name was SHAY and she supposedly is the end all be all of customer service at Jeep. She has no boss, no training personnel, or any other contact information to give you. No way to even report the fact that she was extremely belittling. So that’s it! Final answer! Do not pass go do not collect 200 bucks. So in short I have been left in a perpetual waiting period, for some parts out there in the universe. They may come in they may not. And as for as Jeep is concerned I don’t think they care one bit if you were happy with your purchase, happy with their customer service or about you at all. They will NOT stand behind their brand, or give you any assistance once you drive that car off the lot. I’d be happy to speak with anyone at Jeep other than the call center people who I feel were not only unhelpful but downright rude... But I’m not holding my breath.

The vehicle (2014 Jeep Latitude) is not worth the money. I drove it off the lot and immediately had issues with the transmission shifting hard. Took it back. They said it was because it was new. 16,000 miles later had to put a new transmission in. Today took it in because its still shifting hard and was told All the motor mounts are bad and need replacing. We are still working on trying to do the updates to the computer for the transmission. We will let you know. Never again will I buy a Jeep!! Nothing but issues with the transmission and other stuff. Oh yea I have taken it in many times on the AC not working. You will be driving and all of a sudden it will start heating. They still havent fixed that issue. Nothing but junk and oh yea the power train doesnt cover the motor mounts. Thats 1300.00 that I have to pay outta pocket. This should be on their dime for all the trouble I have had with this piece of crap!!! Dont buy one. You will regret it in the long run!!

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!

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.

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

This is my second Jeep. My 2001 Laredo experienced locking or freezing of the SUV. Very scary, driving down the interstate when your SUV freezes and you have no power or control, no power steering and you have to pray and glide to the side of the inner side of the highway. This happened to me 3 times.I traded it, and bought a 2006 Laredo and thought my problems would be gone. Just the start! With 60,000 miles on it, I have the transmission light going off and the system goes into a slipping out of gear or a revving. I have to shake the gear knob to get it out of the malfunctioning mode! I have read a lot of similar problems. Besides these not-so-scary problems are the following: the seat belt light is on with the ** chime on, the air bag light is on, the check gas cap is on, and my low tire light is on. Believe me, my husband has checked all four tires with the gauge, filled them properly and there is nothing wrong with the tires! I will never ever buy or suggest a jeep to anyone! I hate Chrysler and believe me they are aware of these problems.Today, I am on my way to shop to see what they can or cant do to the jeep. Last time, when I had the tranny light problem, the shop said, Well, it isnt on now! Well, that is Murphys law! It was on all the way down 44 miles to the service shop, but then when the ** jeep is being looked at, the light isnt on. This is a nightmare!

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.

It is quick, reliable, very well constructed inside and out. My wife and I took it on a road trip from Kansas City to Seattle area and back and really enjoyed the way it performed and handled. Very easy to drive and use all of the options. It is sure footed in poor road conditions and easy to drive in traffic. This is the ultimate sleeper vehicle.

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 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 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.

The retractable roof broke and will not close completely... Contacted the dealer and was told it would take a month to get the pieces... That month is now going on five... Was given a number by the dealership to call and put in a complaint. Now I have a case number and a woman who calls me every week telling me they are working on rectifying the problem. I was told today that they are unable to make the replacement pieces at this time because the mold for the piece was lost... So now they are in the process of trying to find a manufacturer to make the mold to make the piece... then make sure it is safe for the public. REALLY... I call BS. They need to take this car back and return my money. This cannot be legal. I am making car payments on a car I cannot drive safely... Do they not realize God forbid someone drives their car like this and gets into an accident and is ejected from the car and dies because of a faulty roof. Lawsuits up the butt... This is just ridiculous. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP EVER. This is such bad business on their part... and I will tell anyone who listens to me to never ever buy a Jee. They should be ashamed of themselves.

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.

In 2010, I purchased a used 2007 Jeep Liberty Sport through a dealership. Within the first month after purchase, a mechanism within the front drivers side door broke causing the window to slip inside the door and become unusable. The dealership repaired the part free of charge as the vehicle was new to me. In 2012, the same mechanism broke again. This time, I was told by the dealership that this is a common problem but I was forced to pay for the repair as Jeep has not yet recalled the mechanism.Yesterday, December 21, 2013, the mechanism broke again this time inside the passengers front side door. I have called the dealership to schedule the repair but currently my window is being held up with duct tape. I do not think I should have to pay for the repair as this is an ongoing issue and obviously the cause of a defective part. Jeep should recall the component and/or develop a mechanism that does not break so easily. I have already filed a complaint with the NHTSA and Jeep headquarters.

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.

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

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.

Problems with new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee - The transmission clunks really
Problems with new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee - The transmission clunks really bad at slow speeds and is very jerky on downshifts. The dealer justified the problem but Jeep denies anything is wrong. This vehicle has only 500 miles on it? Also, the navigation screen has just gone blank on several occasions but of course wont do it when at the dealer for service. The dealer is very cooperative but Jeep is not. Really making me question my first ever Jeep purchase?

I purchased a 2019 brand new Jeep Compass in October 2019. The car radio which has all my controls on it went out on 1/14/2020. They are unable to fix it until the second week in February. Jeeps are junk and the service turn around sucks. I would never buy another Jeep again. If you are wondering if Jeep is the way to go I will gladly remind you, they are terrible on gas as well. DO NOT GET A JEEP!!

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.

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!
