With less than 3,000 miles my trans (2018 Jeep Compass Limited 4x4) malfunctioned while on the expressway. I lost all power to the engine. Thankfully I was able to exit safely. Towed for service to the dealership. Valve body harness replaced and said it was good to go. Driving home from the dealership it wasnt shifting correctly and eventually had no gears at all and need to be towed back the next day. My car got a new transmission. The next problem was the front windows wouldnt roll down. Back for service, a corroded module inside the door was the problem. No explanation as to how or why this happened other than it must of been installed that way. Picked up car the next day and while driving home my HVAC would not switch modes, and the navigation system came up without prompting, returned within 10 minutes from pick up and back in for service. Its been in the repair shop 4x in less than a month and currently in for a week today with latest electrical issue. Thankfully my service department is backing me when I say this car needs to be taken back and Im currently working with my dealership to make this happen. I have zero confidence in its dependability and am afraid to drive it.

I travel a lot and had my oil changed out of state. Come to find out the dealership didn’t seal my oil filter properly and has been dripping oil. I contact the dealership in Albany Ny to only find out they want me to drive 3 hours to have my oil changed there again. First off why would I go back when they did it wrong the first time. Secondly it’s a 3-hour drive with dripping oil. So I contact Jeep directly only to find out there is absolutely nothing they can do for me. Seriously, I have had owned other cars and dealerships have always been great offering any help in anyway. All I’m looking for is 1 free oil change so I don’t have to pay $150 in a month for 2 oil changes. I’m really starting to rethink buying a Jeep. Especially knowing how they cant help me at all. They couldn’t even get a hold of the dealership to even speak to them. That right there should tell you how great they are. If I could have given it a zero or even lower I would have.

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.

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.

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

I was driving to see a friend and the 2006 Jeep Commander stalled. I had to restart the Commander and then we were on our way. We also have an issue of the dash lights blinking when we hit a bump or rough roads.

2014 Jeep Cherokee latitude Lemon - Problems since January. Newest problem needs cylinder head and was overheating. Not including the tranny wobble out of 1st and 2nd gear if it even moves. I feel very unsafe driving it and opened a ticket with corporate. Contacting lawyer, they had my jeep for over 1 week, no loaner. I have called them 2 times. Shouldnt they call me and get authorization to work on my car??? Super upset because it did drive well in the snow!Updated on 02/22/2015I had to get a lawyer. There is a laundry list of things that went wrong with my 2014 Jeep Cherokee. First, the second day I had it the check engine light came on. The dealership said it was the oxygen sensor, but it wasnt bad enough to change. That happened 3 times before they decided to change it. When the light came on I would get horrible gas mileage, but thats apparently not an issue to Jeep. The remote start doesnt work when the check engine light comes on which makes sense, but when you have to wait 2 weeks for a service visit in the dead of winter, not cool. Next the touch screen failed and they had to order it. Couldnt drive it heat in winter with my kids. The manual controls wont work if the touch screen malfunctions. Then after the first week the transmission was constantly acting funny, hesitating, and the mechanic would go on a test drive with us and couldnt deny our complaints. Then the head went on the engine, it overheated. It took over 40 days to diagnose. They gave a hard time about a free loaner car. I forgot to mention they keep greasing the suspension because it makes a grinding noise since about 400 miles. The transmission is still horrible, the updates seem to be made up. I tried trading it in and Bayside Jeep in Queens would not return my calls for a trade. A hand full of time the jeep wouldnt start, would appear to be dead, then 20 min later it would start. Unsafe in stop and go traffic, because it lunges forward and wont continue. I hear a loud clunk when that happens. The transmission or engine makes a weird gurgling noise. I got a lawyer because I was unhappy having a new jeep with replacement parts in the engine. Its a huge deal, I should have gotten a new one. The lawyer got them to buy my jeep back at full sales price, but Im still losing rebates which = losing my trade in. I also had to pay for millage because of NYS Lemon Law. I dont have good credit so when I turn it in I will get back about 500.00 to start over. It takes another 6-7 months for NYS to refund tax/title/DMV fees. So I dont feel whole, and I have no idea what to get. Before this I a bmw, but it was rear wheel drive, and before that the had a 95 cheep grand cherokee that was great and still on the road. They dont make cars like they used to. Im at a loss for what to purchase next, Ive been burned by this experience.

If I can save even ONE person from throwing their money away on a Jeep Renegade Sport, that’s great! I have this car under lease. In 2.5 years it has required: a new computer, new AC, new transmission and the thingy that helps with a flat tire does not work, so I had to buy a spare. A conservative estimate of the work needed is about $10,000. I had to cover $2,000 of it myself. Never ever not ever would I recommend anyone buy a Jeep.

Cracked Oil Filter Housing. Purchased 9/2013 less than 7,000 miles - 2 holiday highway trips - no off-roading. Parts are on back order - still waiting. Dealer is trying to make it right.

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.

My 2006 Jeep Liberty was rode off when the driver lost control and it went off the road and into a ditch and hit a brick barrier. The air bags did not deploy, as the impact was enough that the vehicle was unrepairable. I am disappointed knowing that there was a safety issue in that the air bags that are equipped to save lives did not deploy even though the vehicle hit front on. No one was hurt badly as a result but knowing that the one thing that we ensure when we buy our vehicles, that being safety was at risk, is certainly disappointing and could have been fatal.

I bought this 2006 Jeep Liberty Limited new in January 2007. On March 19, 2010, the drivers rear power window regulator broke and the window will not go up. I brought it to the dealer to have it fixed. Luckily, I have extended warranty and just paid a $50 deductible. Today, Feb. 19, 2013, the drivers rear power window regulator broke again and luckily the extended warranty is still good until January 2014. I have to pay another $50 deductible. Even the service advisor said the Jeep 2006 Liberty do have a lot of people having problem with the rear window regulator.Based on this history with this Jeep Liberty model year having problem with the rear window regulator again and again on so many owners that bought this Jeep Liberty model, it should be a manufacture defect and it should be recalled. If I did not have extended warranty, it would have cost me $250 to have it fixed. Who knows how many times the power window regulator will break down for years to come?

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.

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 transmission on my 2015 has been recalled. It takes attention to shifting and does not have a positive feel for which gear it goes into. I have driven a new Jeep every 2 yrs. and have been happy in the past. I hate the new electronic controlled 9 gear shift mechanism. Before Fiat got involved the Jeeps were great.

Two 2007 Jeep Liberty Limited had trouble with windows malfunctioning, and is still ongoing.I replaced the AC compressor a year ago. The Jeep does not cool effectively after less than a year. The dealership stated it will not cover AC compressor because it was under warranty.I’m not sure if they put a rebuilt compressor or a new one or if it is another problem. The dealership rode with me and stated the system is working but maybe it is an electrical problem that warrants investigation. I have 50,000 miles on it.

I purchased a 2006 Jeep Liberty for my daughter going to college in May 2007. Within a week of ownership the drivers side window just dropped. We brought the jeep back for repair and were told that the regulators were faulty. To make a long story short three subsequent windows have had the same problem multiple times. This has been an ongoing and constant problem. Since our daughter was at college far away we had to make the decision to have 3 of the windows permanently shut because even when Jeep did fix the windows they just broke again shortly after. We have kept the Jeep in mint condition however now the 4th window has fallen...Chrysler/Jeep support basically told me that this is not a safety issue so there is no recall. They told me I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY. OK FOR A PROBLEM THEY CREATED. Never will I buy a Jeep or Chrysler car again. As a matter of fact I will no longer buy an American made car again.

Bad experience w/ the dealership, so thats 1 negative rt off (honesty should count). A roughly $30k car 4yrs ago should buy a solid warranty. Not at Jeep. New vehicle gets only a 35k mile or 3 yr! Currently at 31k miles, the car itself has been reliable, no breakdowns, only regular maintenance (so far).

I bought a Jeep a year ago but it has been the worst investment that the seller made a car with factory problems, the roof with problems of liquefaction. I go four times that they try to fix but always has a different problem. The mechanics have been deteriorating. They put old screws to repair it, they do not put their original parts, to each place that I wear they put a different silicone in it, I lost my love for my car. The truth is that my car has the guarantee but they do not want it answer for my car, if they already realized that the car is not only repaired with silicone and patches. It is best to change the whole piece but Jeep has not returned the call. I think they are waiting for the warranty to end so that dissatisfied customers can not claiming for our rights. Its sad because I thought it was a good company.

I bought my Jeep Patriot new off the lot. In fact I bought one that wasnt even on the lot. They had to ship it in from up country. I fell in love with the look and feel of it as soon I saw it. Ive put 90,000 km. on it which is a little more than normal and I havent had one bad experience with it yet. As long as you dont count going to the dealership for maintenance. But I solved that too. I just do it myself now. I obviously cant do everything myself but I do the majority. Ive always wanted a Jeep, but could never afford the $35k price tag. That is until they made the Patriot. Its still the same old Jeep style and attitude but with a little more road etiquette behind it. I know I wouldnt be taking it rock crawling, but since Ive modified to its max, I can go just about anywhere. Through rivers, anywhere you take your F-150, Nissan Xterra, Dodge Tacoma, Ill be right there beside you. Im 110% satisfied with my Jeep, and I wouldnt trade it now for anything.

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

I 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.

Check engine light is a problem and after going to the dealership and paying 500+ to fix the problem, it still came on. I like the car overall but the remote start feature is deactivated when check engine light is on. The radio also doesnt have CD player and only plays sat radio or iPod/phone. The gas mileage isnt that great and could be better. Also, most of the repairs are very costly. Nevertheless, I like the look and color of the vehicle. It has heated seats and remote start which was what I was looking for in a vehicle. The sunroof is an added benefit as well.

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.

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 :)

I bought my Jeep Liberty Jet in 2014 at 21000 miles, is now 33000 mi. In August I was at the Jersey Shore driving on hwy going 55 mi, car dashboard light up then turned off, lost power. I had no control of acceleration pedal - dropped down to 25 mph, was lucky no cars was behind me. I pulled over to shoulder of road. I turned off car engine then turned back on, it was fine then happened two more times.Another time night interior light came on, didnt go off when I turned off car, did it manually, keyless entry does not work to start car on both keys. I changed battery - first time happened. 2 months after bought car then last month other one dont work. On dashboard gate ajar light does not go off even though flipper glass and lift gate works fine, however I do see when it rains the inside if flipper glass edge inside is wet.When I turn on headlights when dusk outside my dashboard fades out. Bought it to Jeep dealer in Paramus. They said I need to repair TIPM wire and need rear tailgate actuator repair. They said it will cost $1050. Some of these things happened after the recall of the faulty airbags were installed. Also had a misfire #5 code, had it fixed 2 months ago. This car has more issues than Vogue. Hope Chrysler recognizes there are a couple of people on car complaints.com and other website blogs having same problem.Car drives ok but I dont feel safe driving it on hwy. This is my second jeep. I love the car. I buy American Trust in the work but who knows where the parts are being made. Spoke to dealer, lemon law, Jeep complaints, blogged, want to let others know they can be in danger, none of their agencies can do anything about this issue. I have no choice but to pay out of pocket for something that looks like it is a recall/defect especially with the TIPM. Going to get it fixed before I get killed by this jeep.

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.

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.

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

My Grand Cherokee is one of the best vehicles Ive had. The seats could be a lot better far as comfort and the replacement parts are expensive. But I like the design of the whole car in general. My Jeep has been great. Just keep up the maintenance on your vehicle.

I 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??

I own a 2007 Jeep Commander Limited 2WD, 5.7 Liter Hemi. The vehicle will lose power at unexpected times and this has happened on multiple occasions and at various speeds. The vehicle will lose power and buck forward as if it has been rear ended by another vehicle, but the engine will resume without having to be restarted by the ignition. However, during the hesitation, you can not accelerate, all power is lost. The vehicle is still under warranty and I have experienced this problem from 42,000 miles to 79,000 miles which is the current mileage. It seems to happen every 3 months, putting mine and my familys life at risk. The dealership stated they can not fix the problem since the check engine light is not on, it doesnt throw a code, and they can not get the problem to duplicate on their test drive. There needs to be a safety recall on this dangerous situation before someone is hurt or killed!! I have contacted Consumer Affairs by email and encourage other Commander owners to do the same if you are experiencing this problem. www.consumeraffairs.com

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.

My 2016 Jeep Renegade shut off while driving home from work at 9:30pm. It was dark and raining. There was no shoulder to even coast too. I could have been injured if I got hit. I am scared to death to drive my Jeep because I’m terrified this will happen again. Turns out there was no oil in Jeep. Why? I ask. I just had an oil change not even 700 miles ago. I’m already down a quart or more so now what?

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit - On November 17th, after about 30 seconds driving forward, the car shifted from 2nd gear back to first gear. The car practically skidded to shift back to first. I was thrown forward in the car. Luckily, I wear my seat belt. It would not shift out of first after that. The engine light came on. I had it towed to the dealership where I bought it. They said something is wrong with the transmission. They said they could not fix the transmission, but would replace the entire transmission. They said with a car this new, they do not have the knowledge to fixing the transmissions. They replaced the transmission and drove it 200 miles. They said it is fixed. I picked it up on a Monday, November 24 and drove it home. The next day, I had the problem again. When turning on 4 lane road (2 in one direction and two in another), the vehicle started to go across the intersection. It appeared to try to shift to 2nd, but the car stopped moving (like it was in neutral). I had to start blowing the horn as oncoming cars were coming at a high rate of speed. I could have killed. I immediately call the dealership. They picked the car up and drove it back to the dealership. They ran numerous tests on the car and could not duplicate the problem. They called and told me the car was ready.I have severe reservation about getting back in a vehicle that I could have been killed in and drive it away when I know, the dealership knows and Chrysler knows, they couldnt duplicate the problem and they didnt fix anything. So, basically, I will be driving a ticking time bomb that could blow up at any time. My wife, kids and grand-kids could be in jeopardy and other drivers on the road. I paid over 50K for this vehicle, only to find myself stressed out over this fact. I cannot get back into this vehicle knowing nothing was corrected and I was almost killed.

I am writing because I purchased a pre owned certified car and 2 days later a/c had terrible musty chemical smell every time it was turned on. 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 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 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!

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 bought my 2017 Jeep Compass brand new, the 8th month in I was driving on a busy street when my oil sensor went off and caused my car to slow to a stop and my steering wheel to stiffen. Mind you, the oil light went off 3 days prior and Jeeps response when I took it in? “It burns oil every 3k miles, this is normal according to their standards and that’s just a sensor”. Flash forward to a radio repair, back up camera repairs (needs to be replaced again) and multiple oil issues and it has now been declared a lemon. To say the process even with an attorney has been simple would be a lie. It has been a total nightmare to get Chrysler to take back THEIR defective vehicle. If you are looking for a car for yourself or family I would highly suggest doing your research and never, ever buy a Jeep/Chrysler vehicle. If I could rate 0 stars I would have.

Handles well and is solid. I have a liberty limited, get great mileage for the size engine. The company just needs to do a better job for fixing the back passenger window and the drivers seat belt that dont always stay clipped.

Was my Jeep painted at 4:45pm on a Friday? And the BBB is useless - First said, I love my Jeep and want no other car. This complaint is solely on shoddy workmanship and inspection practices. At purchase, I did notice bumpy paint on the door hinges and on one hood hinge, I was not concerned at time; I was excited to get my Jeep. My boyfriend made the comment that I need to get it looked at because he thought these were air bubbles and would eventually begin to flake. Well, one of them finally flaked; I took it to the dealer. I had seen a Jeep just like mine the week before with the same paint flaws. It happened to be the same color as my Jeep so I thought it was a defect in that particular paint color. Well, the dealer said it was rust and they have seen several vehicles in multiple colors with this same issue. They said the factory painted over rust, rust?! The dealer took photos and submitted them to corporate with estimates and was shot down each time. At one time I asked my contact, “Since I brought my Jeep in at just fewer than 50K miles, you think they (corporate) may be stalling for me to hit the 50K?” He said it does make it harder to get things done “after the 36,000” is up, but we will see. Well, I guess since it is my fault that the paint finally flaked after 36,000 miles, the Chrysler Corporation does not feel they are in need of fixing something that should not have left their factory floor in the first place. I even shelled out $3K+ for the lifetime service and power train warranties, still nothing. No wonder people hate buying American goods. Our eyes for detail stink especially if you get an inspector at 4:50pm on a Friday reviewing what is about to be shipped to a sales floor. I will be submitting this complaint to the BBB, and various consumer watchdogs. Thanks for your time in reading this. The above letter is what I e-mailed to Chrysler yesterday and it was probably scoffed at because as I contacted the BBB today, via my phone, I got this automated message that told me that Jeep was one of the dealers that did not participate in the BBB’s Auto Line Program and that I should consult my owner’s manual or press 1 for the directory of the auto service manufactures, **? Companies can choose if they want to receive BBB complaints or not? I thought the BBB was there to help resolve the issues and instead it is directing me back to the corporation that does not want to resolve the product defect in the first place? Attorneys, possible class action suit as I have seen and heard of other Jeeps with this issue?

I purchase my vehicle with 33k on it 3 weeks ago. It is in for service for the 3rd time (I havent even made a payment yet). 4 times now the transmission drags when leaving a stop and then clunks into gear. Before the 2nd service visit, I was driving down the highway and a loud alarm went off (not a ding or a chime) and there was something red on the display but it was gone before I could read it. My heart was jumping out of my chest as I was in rush hour interstate traffic and I thought it was going to stop. No codes the 1st and 2nd time so nothing was done. This time there was a body something code and waiting to hear on that today. At close to 36K I am concerned that I am entering the time when I start to have to pay for these services. I feel like I am being pacified at this point with no resolution to the issue. I mentioned all of the similar concerns reported on the internet and was told you cant always believe everything you read. My response was I am not lying about what is happening and I find it pretty interesting that others would report the same exact issues if they werent having them. I have filed a case with a LEMON LAW lawyer and just opened a case with JEEP/CHRYSLER directly. I love how it drives and looks but not sure how to rank the value. At this point it is going to cost me tons to repair down the road.

I am a lifelong Jeep owner. Only ever had 2 cars that were not Jeeps. Always been a big fan, until my last two. I have had nothing but problems with my last two cars, which were purchased new. The defects have been ongoing since purchase. They have all kinds of electrical problems, all warning lights coming on for no reason at all, including the check engine light. The car will often not start or turn over at all, even though all the lights come on when I turn the key. The back gate on my last Jeep snapped for no reason at all. They fixed it 4 times and each time it would snap again immediately after being fixed. When I take the car in for service they tell me they can find nothing wrong, over and over again. I even have video, but it does me no good. They know that Jeeps keep selling, so they do nothing to help. After repeatedly taking my Jeep in for service and getting no help, I am selling it and will not buy a Jeep again. It is 2 years old.

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

Jeep vibrates at 2200RPM 58MPH. Automatic transmission starts in 4th gear and gets worse as speed increases [like a tire out of balance]. Many lame excuses but no fix.

Radio and screen went out. Went to dealer repairs radio. Went blank next day. Put new radio in Los lugs heated seated steering wheel back up camera auto climate control. I am demanding a new jeep.

I started my 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport to warm it up and after 10 minutes, the gas tank exploded. If you have one, I would sell it now before this happens to you. I will never buy a car with the Jeep name ever again! If my family would have been in it, I would have Jeeps ** right now. They should really be investigated for faulty manufacturing as I hear more and more horrible things are happening to almost every model of Jeep that is out right now.

After purchasing a 2014 Jeep Patriot, we have had issues with the throttle body multiple times. Everything from cutting out in traffic to now accelerating on its own. We took it in to Huntington Beach Jeep who then put 220 miles on our vehicle and stated they could not replicate the issue. I was able to replicate the issue 4 times in 1 day!! By the time I was done with all of the add ons they said I absolutely needed, I paid WELL over sticker price for this vehicle and to have it in the shop 3 times in the last 7 months is ridiculous. I will NEVER buy anything from Jeep again.

8/18/2011. I woke up to 2 inches of water on the passenger side. I thought it was the windshield. I had it replaced 3 times and still getting water inside on the passenger side.

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.

I wanted to write and ask if anyone else has had a problem with their Jeep Liberty suddenly catching fire. I had this happen to me for no apparent reason. No warning lights, no strange sounds, nothing. I was driving along and LUCKILY a driver behind me honked his horn and flashed his lights to get my attention. I came to a stop at a stoplight and thats when smoke and flames started to come out of the vents and fill the interior of the Jeep. I pulled off the road into a convenience store parking lot, jumped out and ran inside. The fire department arrived in less than 5 minutes but my Jeep was a complete loss. I have attached the pictures to show the aftermath. THANK GOD that I escaped but sadly I was left with a pile of ash that my insurance company would only pay a depreciated value for the remains...

I bought my 2004 Jeep Liberty almost 2 years ago. Aside from the constant light show on the dash, I loved the car! I started losing power when accelerating, at first occasionally but becoming more frequent over a month. I took it to my regular mechanic a couple of times but they couldnt find the problem. I ended up losing power completely and had it towed to Jeep dealership. First, I was told the water pump was loose and shook things up. I needed a new one. They also did an injector service(?). Tech drove it thinking it was fixed but he suddenly realized the car was a hazard when it all but stopped on the highway. We are now @ $800 and climbing! A few hours later, he discovers a problem with a cylinder head. Heres the catch. They told me it was cracked and needed replaced but told my extended warranty co. it was warped. So when talking to warranty co., they would say warped but dealership would say cracked when talking to them! Who do I believe, the warranty co. or the supposedly trained tech that knows these things? Of course I believe the tech and tell them it needs done whether the warranty covers it or not. Aside from the fact that the service manager lied to me several times stating he was on the phone constantly with warranty co., he lied when telling me it was cracked! Warranty wont pay stating it was not a necessary replacement! It WAS warped and could have been machined down at a much lower cost! So after my Liberty being at dealership for 3 weeks (which I still cant figure out), I get to pick it up tomorrow! At last count, the total was almost $3400! That doesnt include the rental I needed! Always had VWs, then went to Subarus. With my business, I need 4 WD, though, which is why I went to Jeep. Never again! Cant trust the company and cant count on the cars!

I have 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.

We have an 2010 Jeep Liberty Limited with a Sky Slider Roof that from the time we bought it used has been nothing but trouble. We bought the jeep two and half years ago from a Chrysler dealer. It was warrantied and after a week and half of ownership we took it in and had the roof checked out. It would not slide open from the back and a made a clicking noise. After much complaints and phone calls the dealership had it repaired but it took at least 1.5 weeks for the repair of roof because they didnt have a person that knew how to fix the problem. The noise is so loud that you cant enjoy your radio or conversations. The dealership said they did the repair out of courtesy and that I would had to pay over $1500 for the repair. Now, the roof is broken again and will not close all the way!!! I have been looking to find someone who knows how to fix it but no one will touch them. These roofs should be on recall!!!

I wanted it reported as I see that this is affecting many many owners of this vehicle with the same issue but no recall has ever been issued. This is a safety issue as you cannot open the doors so if you were in a wreck you cannot access the handle to open the door. I contacted the Jeep company but they said no recall so will not repair.

I have a 2015 Jeep SRT bought in the dealer Flagship in Bayamon, Puerto Rico in April 2015. The Brembo calipers clear coat started to peel off around 9,500 miles and one year from purchase. I went to the dealer and after waiting several weeks for a response with no success, I had to contact them and they informed me this is an aesthetic issue that warranty would not cover! I tried to appeal that response but have never been able to get above the dealer level. I have tried every means possible, avoiding to go to the Puerto Rico Consumer Affairs Department, but the experience with Jeep-Chryslers customer service has been the worst I have had in my life.Upon research in the web I found that this is a very common problem to SRT owners and the feeling is the same; Jeep-Chrysler does not want to be responsible about this manufacturing issue and they avoid covering it under warranty. This is an SUV which base price is $65,000 and here in Puerto Rico, taxes included, is almost $80,000! It is incredible that a vehicle of such a high price has such a poor quality material and manufacturing in a part that is one of its main visual attributes. Anyone knows that this part is exposed to high temperatures and Jeep-Chrysler engineers should know better. I wish there is something that Consumer Affairs can do to help us Jeep SRT owners with this issue. I will be exploring the possibility of a class action against Jeep-Chrysler, among other causes of action for this abusive and elusive warranty scam.

I bought a 2017 Jeep Rubicon 2 months ago. It has 3000 miles on it. We were driving along a driveway @ 15mph 2 days ago and the back window of the Jeep EXPLODED shattering into hundreds of pieces (as its designed to do). We checked around the vehicle and could find nothing that would have caused it to shatter. We are traveling in CO, so took it to the nearest Jeep dealer who, indicated to my husband that they could not even LOOK @ it for another MONTH. They then referred us to the local auto glass company for repair. When we asked about warranty, the dealer said it would be our insurance - not warranty. When I outreached to Jeep/Wave, they indicated that, without a jeep dealers diagnosis they could not provide warranty coverage so we would have to use our insurance to repair it. They also indicated that they could not force their DEALER to perform the diagnosis in a more timely fashion. All this leaving us to pay out of pocket for the replacement OR drive around CO for the next month waiting for the dealer to find the time to diagnose our window. Shoddy warranty coverage Jeep. Shame on you!

I bought from Carmax a 2006 Liberty. Horrible on gas miles and noise in the back wheels that Carmax service did not fix. So worried after 3 months, I went back and took 2010 Patriot with 51k. Such bad decision. I regret so much. It is a fun car but full of issues. Suspension and brake noise in the first week. I tried to get fix. Two months with this car, 6 times at Carmax service, 2 weeks with rental car. Service and sales managers trying to figure out a stupid drum brake noise. The last time, they suggested take other car. And I did. The worse car brand ever. Never again! What a shame!

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.

I purchased a 2017 Jeep Renegade in April 2018. The car died on me and shut itself down while in motion 3 times. The car was diagnosed with a fuel pump issue. I have now been without my vehicle for 3 weeks and the part will not be released for at least another 3. Jeep will not provide me with a loaner or rental until my vehicle is repaired and if I pay for one myself I wont be reimbursed. So basically buying a Jeep with a manufacturer defect is just my bad luck. Customer service at Jeep has been condescending and frustrating. I will never again buy a Jeep and will inform everyone of my problems with the car and the company.

Check Engine Light/Software Updates - To begin with I am glad that you are reading this, on the other hand I am sad. Simply because you would not reading this unless you have had problems with your vehicle. I bought a new 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailblazer, bad mistake. This is the fifth Jeep I have owned and let me quite frank about it, it is a piece of garbage. If I had known the thing had been made in Italy I would not have bought it, much less traded my 2010 Jeep Liberty for it. At this date it has less than 20,000 miles on it and I have the records to show that it has had over 20 software updates done to it. Lemon law, right, the only thing that is yellow here is the Jeep representative that will not return my calls, and at this point the service manager at the dealership will not return my calls either. They know the vehicle is a piece of (well you know what).Right, I am pissed, but who cares out there? I am writing this just to blow some steam off. Vacation time comes around and Im afraid to go anywhere far in it. Thats sad, new vehicle and no trip anywhere. Now, let me say this. I have found out the motor of this thing was designed by the same man who designed Maseratis, (or so I have been told), well he might know fast motors, but he dang sure is not an electronics guy. Really, JEEP should take pride in the fact that they used to be made in America and that they have served in many wars and stand up for the American people that bought their products. By doing so, Mr. JEEP guys, just take this piece of heap that you call a vehicle and stick it. Just pay off the remainder of my note. And in return, I promise you, I that I will never make my driveway look that bad again, by having a Jeep parked in it. If anybody out there, has any suggestions, feel free to comment about it.

From the moment I purchased this vehicle I have had nothing but problems, constantly. I bought it new off the lot in 2011 and paid an extra $5k for the warranty. Every few months I have to take it to the dealer for repairs: Twice for exhaust leaks caused by broken exhaust bolts, fuel pump, radiator, water pump, rack and pinion, drive shaft, twice for inside fan blower, left motor mount twice, right motor mount, 8! times and counting for a vibration that cannot be determined, even after an engineer from Chrysler flew out, 2 a/c condensers, spark plug coil, exhaust manifold, rear light cover melted from poor design, air conditioning lines, play in the transmission, oil pan replaced... I mean the list goes on. The kicker is that I have never once even taken this vehicle off road. The bottom is spotless!After endless hours on the phone constantly I have yet to receive anyone at Jeep who wants to resolve the issue. The offered me a CDI number for employee pricing, when I went into the dealership to explore the sales guy laughed at me and told me he has way better deals. I would discourage anyone from buying a Jeep ever. All my friends, family, and coworkers have a running joke about me and my Jeep. So sad, especially when Chrysler was bailed out billions of our tax payer money! In addition, I am a disabled service connected veteran of the US Air Force. And this is how I am treated by a company that touts their support of vets! Beyond disappointed.

I own a 2009 Jeep Patriot and my transmission went out. Since I bought it new and it came with a lifetime powertrain warranty, which includes the transmission, I didnt think getting it repaired would be a problem. Little did I know that in order for the warranty to remain effective, you must have the transmission inspected within the first 5 years of ownership. That little fact was never revealed to me even though I have had all required maintenance performed by the dealership. Has anyone else had this problem and what was down to resolve it short of paying for the repair - which is going to run $4,200.

I got a 2018 Jeep Wrangler that is trailer rated. I paid $42,000 for it for the fact that I like to go off road. On New Years Eve my wife was coming home in a downpour on the highway when the jeep just stop running. She pulled over to get out of the way. She tried starting it a couple of times and nothing. I went and picked her up 150 miles away and had it towed to my house. I called the dealer and had to wait 14 days before they could look at it.Two days later I got a call that water got into the motor and it would be $12,000 for a new one. I asked what about my 7 year 100 mile warrant they said it is not covered. I called Chrysler and they said no good. I looked up what trail rated stood for and it said that the jeep could go in water up to 19 to 30 inches. When I said that to them they said that does not mean rain. So to fix my jeep I had to go through my insurance. I will never buy a Chrysler again and have told my friends not to use that dealer or buy a Chrysler. P.s. I work in a company where there 46,000 employees and I posted this on their website.

In 2008, I purchased a New Jeep Patriot. In 2011 with only 28,915 miles on the vehicle, I had to replace both ball joints, and since the ball joint on this vehicle can only be replaced with the attached control arm, they also had to be replaced. I also had to replace two front tires because from rubbing on the defective parts, the tires were worn down to the steel belts. There is no way that this should have occurred with the low mileage on the vehicle. Jeep tells me that they have no recall on this model.

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.

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.

Owned car since July 2021. Today 11-4-21 it sits in shop again for bad Uconnect screen/controls. No reliable screen means no climate control, radio, nav, phone connection. Service appointments are 3-4 weeks out and they won’t fix it. No loaners. Nightmare and I’m not sure based on documented visits they aren’t trying to avoid lemon law issues. Won’t say it’s same issue on paperwork???

I want to start off by saying that I come from a family of multiple Jeep owners (husband, mom, dad, brother, mother-in-law, etc.) as we all love Jeep. More so, I was looking forward to purchasing a second vehicle for myself (of course a Jeep) because they have been reliable cars, or so I thought, and I had faith in the Jeep Company. That was until my unfortunate and super expensive experience that has kickstarted my 2021 year. While driving back home shortly after New Year’s Day, my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with only 66K miles, suddenly decided not to turn back on after stopping for gas. Fortunately, I was able to tow it to the nearest Jeep dealership, where I only go to for car service. Since it was the holidays, there was a delay in my cars diagnostic. After 4 days of being at the Jeep dealership, I was finally informed that my fuel pump and wiring had to be replaced for about $1,500 plus tax because nothing that needed repair was covered under warranty. Now, lets add $1,500 plus tax to the total cost that I have been incurring with rental car, stay, food, etc. since my 2015 Jeep, with only 66k miles, stopped working while I was 4 hours away from home. I decided to call the Jeep warranty customer care to get clarification on what is covered in my warranty. After speaking with several customer care agents, they all shared that my fuel pump is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty for up to 7 years or 100K miles, which conflicted with what the Jeep dealership shared. Additionally, I was told that I had trip interruption protection for up to 100K, which would help with all the costs I was incurring being 4 hours away from home. Unfortunately, the Jeep car dealership and the Jeep warranty customer care were not agreeing, which caused additional delays in my car getting fixed. After speaking with various customer care numbers for 2 days that were being provided to me by each representative, it was finally confirmed that my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s fuel pump and wiring was not covered under any warranty. Additionally, the trip interruption plan that I was told I had, was indeed not true. Now I understand that rules are rules. However, this experience has left me with 2 burning questions: 1) How reliable are Jeep cars to break down at only 66K miles? 2) How reliable is the Jeep Company with ensuring proper employee training so that customers are not misled? -Sincerely disheartened by Jeep!

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

I have not had an accident and nobody has hit me. I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty and the airbag light has come on for the drivers side. This is a safety factor of the vehicle. And I would like to know why it is not a recall. Please email me and let me know. I dont think it is fair to make me pay for this to be repaired. Thank you.Jane **

Overall a great car, especially for New England weather. Great handling and control in snow! Very comfortable interior with plenty of space. Holds more than expected when I moved, which was a great surprise. Only issue is once they hit about 9 years old, the repair bills start and come often and at an up there price tag. If you dont have a trusted mechanic, youll want to find one once that 9 year mark hits.

I currently own two Jeep vehicles. One I purchased new is a 2013 Grand Cherokee. It has been the most dependable, reliable, stylish vehicle that I’ve owned. Jeep has stood behind any issues I’ve had, which have been few. My second Jeep is a 2018 Wrangler Sport that I purchased used with 8,000 miles and under warranty. It’s also a great vehicle, easy to tow behind my motorhome, and fun to drive on adventures. I’ve had no issues at all with it.

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 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.

I bought my 2016 Jeep Renegade new. I have had it since March of 2016. I am VERY dissatisfied with it and the Jeep experience. I started having problems with it around July of last year and it has literally been in and out of the shop since. I lose gas power while driving, it just does not go. Jeeps reasoning behind no gas is the transmission is trying to find a gear. This is NOT acceptable. A car should go no matter what when you push the gas pedal down. I have had a few close calls because my car chooses when it wants to go. I have also been told turn your traction control off and this should fix the problem. I am not sure why this should fix my problem, my car should go when I push the gas down. I asked why I have to manually put my car in first gear, their response is First gear is for four wheel drive. Well, there is your problem. Thats why it cant find a gear when I am rolling forward, or turning and trying to go. Maybe it needs first gear. This is the WORST car I have EVER driven. I love how the excuses of why it drives so horribly just flow like a river. I should feel safe when I drive my car, and I dont because I dont know when it is going to happen. The problem has happened to my husband and my son.

The problem began initially in 4/2010 when the vehicle had 53,165 miles on it and the engine would idle roughly, the ESP/BAS indicator would come on, the check engine light would come on, and the traction assist indicator would all come on at the same time. As soon as all the indicators would light, the car would handle poorly, not shift properly, and at times simply stall out on the highway. I brought the car to my local Jeep dealership and upon inspection, they found that the intake manifold had melted and come apart; thus, it needed to be replaced at a cost of $485, which was fine considering the car overall had not given me many major problems. So, I proceeded to have the work done. A couple of weeks ago, the same problems began happening again (the engine would idle roughly, the ESP/BAS indicator would come on, the check engine light would come on, and the traction assist indicator would all come on at the same time), so I brought the car back to the same dealership. Upon inspection, they found that once again, the intake manifold had melted and come apart, thus it needed to be replaced at a cost this time of $685. Mind you, the car now has 96,057 miles. My main concern is that the intake manifold lasted only 42,901 miles and had to be replaced once again. I voiced my concerns to my service advisor and he stated that the first time the upper manifold had gone bad and that this time the lower manifold had gone bad. That may very well be the case but if you look at the invoices, the part numbers are exactly the same (53032774AA). I understand that the dealership can only do so much, so I am now appealing to you as it seems that the intake manifold for my 2006 Jeep Commander has a factory defect as it literally melts and begins to come apart especially with the extremely hot weather in South Florida every 40,000 miles or so.I wrote a letter to Chrysler and received an email asking me to call their customer assistance center. I called and was basically told that there was nothing they could do. I asked to speak to a manager and Daniel refused to let me do so saying that he had the final decision on my claim. Needless to say, I am getting rid of this crappy car and I will never spend my money on a Jeep again as they do not stand behind their product as some of their foreign competitors do.

The Jeep Liberty 2.8L CRD has a flaw in its design. The EGR valve is a high failure item in the 2.8 CRD. One of the modes is set to fail ope, with no accompanying Check Eng light. When the EGR fails open, unregulated air flows into the intercooler, causing complete failure, and then allowing the turbo to receive unregulated air, leading to its failure. This all happened in less then 3 miles last week, on my 2006 Jeep Liberty 2.8 CRD with 87,000 miles on it. $5,200 later the car is running, but what a bill for a poor design, with no bypass line. For wanting a $150 EGR valve, the motor was lost.

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.

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

I bought my 2017 Jeep Renegade Limited in January 2018. Less than 2 years old.. My problem started around 16k miles. (Im now at about 23k). Friday I go in for my 3rd consumption test. Im burning oil. Getting to the dangerous part of the dipstick after 1000 miles, I didnt buy a new car so I have to babysit the oil level in it.. Its not the 1970s! Why should I burn 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles? Other newer cars can go 10k miles between oil changes, I feel duped and cheated. I also think theres something wrong with the low oil sensor, it only comes on when I take extreme turns and doesnt stay on. Im busy with my eyes on the road taking the turn, not watching my dash.. I had to have a passenger point it out to me!

The wiring that goes to all the lights are up under the dash near the brake pedal. After driving the jeep for some time, all of a sudden the lights quit working. After having it checked, the brake pedal had rubbed against the wiring and rubbed them until they completely came apart losing all connection. Therefore, the lights, signals and everything quit working. I had it repaired, but still the lights only work part of the time. The mechanic at the Dodge place told us it was a wonder it had not caught on fire.

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.

This is my first Jeep after owning only Toyotas, but the last 2 Toyota trucks were nothing but trouble so I made a change and couldnt be happier. I have almost 3000 miles on the Jeep GC, its a blast to drive from smooth ride to awesome features it was worth the change. I had it in to the dealer twice for alarm install and receiving hitch and both visits went smooth. My only complaint is the sales department wasnt that knowledgeable on service maintenance. I will say that problems happen how the Dealer and manufacture handle them can make or break us as consumers on buying there product again, and laws should become tougher so we the consumer are protected.

My wife and daughter visiting New Mexico. On way home in 2015 Jeep Renegade on the August 25th had check engine light come on and had to tow vehicle to mechanic who look at vehicle reset light and said all looked fine. Next day just outside Colorado Springs engine light came back on, had vehicle towed again to Faricy Boys dealership, which inspected vehicle and found cooling fan relay bad and would have to order part. Now after weekend Monday was assured would have part by Wed. the 30th at which time was told no part is coming and did not know when part would arrive. Now 5 days later speaking with parts department manager telling me I did not give them enough time to locate part and offered no solution but to wait another 2 days.Now my wifes father was being admitted to hospital for heart issues and my daughter starting college that week. With no choice now and could not afford to keep them in Colorado costing already $1200 without food expenses fly them back home to Michigan $850. Now after hours of being on phone with, Im sorry and promises a case manager would contact me which during the whole time even the 60 day case review did someone contact me. The people at Faricy Boys felt really bad and after waiting 2 WEEKS TO GET A PART TO FINALLY FIX VEHICLE, Faricy Boys felt bad and tried to get someone from FCA do the right thing and arrange for shipment of vehicle home.Being on Social Security Disability for terminal illness stage 4 cancer this is really wearing on me. Emotionally stressed out and financially draining. Now again wasting time on the phone told me, Sorry again. We will have case manager call you back which never did. Now I had to pay another $700 to ship vehicle home. Now I was given a number to the office of the president at FCA who was going to supposedly be able to help me recoup some expenses but once again was let down. They have quite the setup with customer service. You will never be able to really speak to anyone of importance. Now after waiting their 60 days for case review they tell me when I called again they did not receive my receipts which I spent another $60 at UPS store emailing and faxing.After resending and calling to make sure they received them which they confirmed they did tried to do the same thing and tell me they did not have them. But during the phone call which like them for quality purposes recorded told her, You sure you do not have them because the other women I spoke to said they were in my case file. Now it was, Oh ya. Here they are. Im sorry. I will again have your case manager call you after review, which I told her the 60 days was up. One of the last times I called they had the wrong case number this time then continued to tell me the only receipt she had was one from AutoZone for $86. Enough is enough at this point I was like and this women sympathetic sorry sorry. I would be happy to just get reimbursed for $850 airfare and $700 shipping.After all this I have yet to receive one phone call from FCA to do the right thing. I have been a loyal customer for more than 20 years and currently lease 2 vehicles but they are the last. This 2 dollar part which they did not have is all because this Jeep is made in Italy. They had to take it off assembly line. What a joke. No parts for a vehicle they have been making for several years, and the big thing was always, Im sorry. This part is on back order. You have to wait your turn. This whole time I tried to get a loaner car. They would not even do that for me. Had to cancel plans going anywhere for holiday weekend, would not even help with loaner. Shame on you FCA. Shame poor customer service. I was hung up on, lied to. Poor way of doing business.

I purchased a new Jeep Patriot in June of 2010. I used the car to commute to work for about 10 months before changing jobs to work from home. For four years, the car was driven very little and at the time of this review it has less than 33k miles on it. I noticed a loud noise anytime the clutch was not engaged so I took it to the dealership. It turns out vehicle, at 33k miles, needs a new transmission, and of course, the powertrain warranty expired 4 months ago. Linda from Jeep customer services fully appreciates my concern particularly regarding the expense ($4800+). She appreciates the opportunity to review your request, but... you know how the rest goes. My recommendation is not to fall in love with these cars, and definitely dont purchase from a company that doesnt stand by their product.

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 write to you with deep dissatisfaction caused by my first impression of your service levels. I bought my car couple of months ago mid of December from your show room in Riyadh Dabbab Street. The first time I drove it, I noticed that the Forward Collision Warning was indicating that its not functioning in the computer screen located in the dashboard. The sales representative informed me that this might be a small programming issue that could be solved by visiting the servicing center in Khurais Street. During the first week of driving the car, I found out that the car also flags unnecessary breaking alarms on the computer screen. Also, the cruise control function gets disengaged within seconds of operation and driving.I visited your servicing center and a check was made where they found there is a defect in couple of parts that needed to be changed for the Radar and the Cruise Control functions to work. I was informed that the parts will be requested and in two weeks the parts will arrive and I will be contacted to bring my car to replace the parts and fix those two issues for both functions to operate.The fact that this was my first experience with a new car that had been bought and is considered the top of the Jeep Brand line was very disappointing. Usually, manufacturing defects surface within the first thousands of kilometers drive. In my case, it was the first seconds of driving the car out of the show room. However it gets worse...Although I was promised that I will receive a call in two weeks time, which never happened, I visited the servicing center for the second time approximately two weeks after not getting any update or the promised call. I was told that there is another part that still pending and needs to be ordered. I was requested to wait for another month. I expressed my dissatisfaction, knowing that such type of parts would not need more than two weeks to be ordered from the factory in the US if needed . I also suggested to the service manager to use DHL services and charge me the delivery fees if its not within the UMC policy to request parts through international couriers. Two weeks is usually the normal experience with my other car parts ordering process where unavailable parts in the region would take maximum 15 days to be ordered from the factory. I was told that I could take my car back home and I will be called again when the second part will arrive. From my previous experience and the bad first impression I encountered, I refused and preferred leaving it to be serviced for other issues believing that the main old issue will be sorted as per my expectation.Two weeks now and my car still held with your servicing center without any update from your side. Today, I called your servicing center following up on the issues raised and again, I could not get any expectation or feedback as when the parts will arrive, replaced and my car can be delivered as I was expecting (fully functional) when I first bought it.I would kindly request you to review the circumstances of this compliant and find a reasonable solution that will insure a proper management of your customers expectations is a key deliverable to promote the well known and respected Jeep Brand. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

As another review said, no matter which way you turn its a dead end. My Jeep had (transmission) issues due to design flaw since day 1 and they snowball you and snowball you as you rack up mileage and it gets out of warranty. Still with quality issues slipping gears - they DO NOT stand behind their products and mechanic said outright that they are designed terribly. Still awaiting responses from Jeep / Chrysler credit. Again just falls on dead ears. BUYER BEWARE!!!

Simply - I love my jeep. Bought this 06 in 2011, but have never been happier w/ a vehicle before. Ive owned a few, even classics. But my jeep can go anywhere, has the power, turning capabilities, comfort and design as well as the stereo system is awesome. My dogs even love it!!! I love my Commander!!

I have 2 Jeeps. One is a 2012 Jeep Patriot that has minor issues that havent cost a ton. The other is a 2017 Jeep Compass that has had major financial issues recently. I have an extended warranty on the 2017 Jeep as I bought it used. I took it to my local Jeep dealership when it started hesitating and engine lights went on. They claimed it was a spark plug, maintenance issue that cost me over 500 dollars. Then less than 2 months later same issues same lights on. I took it back to dealership and they diagnosed it with a throttle body problem that was going to cost me an additional 700 dollars (not under warranty). I towed it away but had to pay the 130 for the diagnostic problem they should have seen/fixed the first time. My 2012 Jeep has a 4wd light on ever since I took it to same dealership to fix a recall problem. My honest mechanic said the dealership pinched the wires when they fixed the recall problem. I will never buy another Jeep or go back to Newport Jeep for anything.

My radio has a 30-gb hard drive in it. The idea is to be able to load music and pictures and music. The problem is the radio doesnt recognize the USB port, making that option useless. I made 2 attempts to have it fixed. There is no fix and they have no plans to correct the situation.

I 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.

Gear shift stick (auto) went from park to drive, dashboard still showed car was in park. I thought this should have been covered as it not wear and tear.

I bought this Jeep Liberty six years ago used. The car had a little more than one hundred fifty thousand miles on it. Now its over one hundred ninety thousand miles on it. Great car and good gas mileage. I just got lucky and got a great running vehicle.

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 brought my Jeep Liberty in for an alignment due to excessive tire wear only to find out both ball joints are shot and about to come apart. Called about the recall and was told mine did not fall into the recall.... REALLY!!!!!! Mine was mfr in June 2006 and the recall was for all before March 2006. Jeep has a history of using inferior parts then wont stand behind it.

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.

Jeep has always been a reliable brand and I love my Renegade. The interior is super roomy and very comfortable. This model also includes a fair amount of cargo space. The only features missing from this particular model are no hatchback and its lack of a cargo hitch. Itd be quite useful to be able to haul a small trailer if need be, as we have motorcycles that sometimes need hauled. But other than that, the safety features are great. As a parent, it makes me much more confident knowing my daughter is the safest she can be. The Jeep Renegade drives very smooth and its a comfort to know that when the weather turns snowy, that 4-wheel drive can save you.
