2025 Jeep Gladiator

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator is a rugged midsize, off-road capable pickup built on Jeep’s truck-based STLA Medium platform. It slots between the Wrangler and full-size pickups, offering five-passenger seating and a 5-foot bed in a true ladder-frame layout.

It’s powered by Jeep’s familiar 3.6 L Pentastar V6 making approximately 285 hp and 260 lb‑ft, paired with a standard 8‑speed automatic and full-time 4WD. For 2025 the manual transmission is discontinued. A plug-in hybrid 4xe variant—based on a 2.0 L turbo hybrid system producing around 375 hp and 470 lb‑ft torque—is confirmed and arriving later in the model year.

With the Max Tow package (only available on Sport/Sport S trim and automatic), the Gladiator achieves its maximum tow rating of about 7,700 lb, and maximum payload around 1,725 lb. Rubicon trims tow up to roughly 7,000 lb, but payload drops closer to 1,200 lb. Other trims like Mojave or Willys generally tow around 6,000 lb with payloads ranging from about 1,100 to 1,300 lb depending on configuration.

Real-world driver experiences confirm that heavy towing or camper trailers near the top limit are achievable, but often result in reduced fuel economy (8–15 mpg when loaded), elevated revs uphill, and increased stress on drivetrain components. Careful attention to payload, hitch setup, weight distribution, and trailer brakes is strongly recommended.

The ride on pavement remains firm and jittery, especially with off-road tires or lifted setups. Steering requires constant correction, and braking feels grabby in tight maneuvers. Off-road performance is excellent thanks to solid axles, available front/rear lockers, high ground clearance, and Jeep’s selectable 4WD systems (Command‑Trac, Selec‑Trac, Rock‑Trac depending on trim). Removable doors, folding windshield, and available front trail camera enhance outdoor utility.

Inside, legroom is generous for the segment (front rear around 41/38 inches), with a height-friendly cab and lockable storage beneath the rear seat. Tech includes a Uconnect interface with 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, available Alpine premium sound, and available trail-navigation features. Cargo bed features include integrated tie-downs, optional Trail Rail accessory tracks, and a “Weekend Warrior Mode” tonneau that allows hauling longer items with tailgate latched partially.

Trim hierarchy includes Sport, Sport S, Nighthawk, Willys, Mojave, Mojave X, Rubicon, and Rubicon X—each offering unique features for on- or off-road focus. Pricing spans roughly US $38K to $61K depending on trim and options.

Owners generally love its rugged charm, modularity, and towing capability but frequently mention fit-and-finish issues, rattles, and infotainment quirks in newer builds. Maintenance and dealer support vary—higher-end trims often bring more electronics and comfort gear that may encounter glitches in early production runs.

Bottom line: The 2025 Gladiator is ideal for buyers seeking Jeep-style off-road character, strong towing and payload figures in a compact truck frame, and open-air flexibility. It performs best on trails or rugged terrain. For highway comfort, refinement, or frequent heavy towing, a full-size pickup or dedicated work truck may offer better refinement and durability. Let me know if you'd like trim comparisons (Sport vs Rubicon vs Mojave), real-world towing advice, or help choosing the 4xe hybrid.

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.

I have had NOTHING but problems since I purchased a Jeep. RECALLS that do NOT HAPPEN, years pass, then they supposedly fix it and soon afterwards you have major problems. The p41 recall is a joke and a scam. They never had the proper part to fix the problem. They were getting a lot of complaints and having to pay for rental vehicles for people who complained to their attorney generals. Then they lie to you and tell you the part is available when it isnt. When you catch them in their LIE, they back off and wait a few months and then tell you the part is available. Shortly thereafter, your starter is fried??? This company is evil to the bone and if you are a FOOL...then go buy a Jeep.

I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot. Two years ago the transmission fluid light came
I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot. Two years ago the transmission fluid light came on and immediately my speed went to around 20 mph. This was in a freeway construction zone. We could not get off the road and limped along at 20 mph until we could get into a parking lot. How we survived that I dont know. Traffic was zooming around us in restricted lanes. It was taken to a nearby dealer who could not look at it until the next day. And then they could not find it. They would not even drive it.Back at home I took it to a local dealer and after 6-7 weeks of them having my car, Chrysler agreed to a new transmission. One year later when it was hot, it did it again. I find in cold weather season this is not so bad but when temps hit 80 I cannot drive faster than 55 or the transmission fluid overheating light comes on. Today July 27 2014 temps was 102 and my 92-year-old mom and I sat in the boiling heat on the side of a highway because it happened again. Not just once today. TWICE today.If someone wants to have a class action suit, let me know. Because Jeep maintains there is no problem. I will never own another.

The jeep (2015 Jeep Cherokee) is currently in the shop for the second brake
The jeep (2015 Jeep Cherokee) is currently in the shop for the second brake booster failure. The first one happened little over a year ago at 26k. This one just happened again at 44k. The dealership has had the vehicle for over a week, and they cant seem to get the problem fixed. Last Jeep we will ever own. Jeep customer service is of no use. Both times this thing went out, my son was in the back seat. At this point I have to question the overall safety of the vehicle.

No fender for Jeep Patriot in South Africa - Ive been without my car for 5
No fender for Jeep Patriot in South Africa - Ive been without my car for 5 weeks as West Rand Panel Beaters were not able to find/source a fender in S.A. They have referred me to Albert **, Parts Sales Executive of Chrysler Jeep Dodge Fourways and Ive been told to log a complaint as the part is currently being shipped in from U.S.A. How can a brand as big as Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler not have such common parts in S.A? Im really frustrated. I work for FNB Cellphone Banking and I know what service is and this is a load of **. Can I have a response from the CEO, Director since your managers do not have the time to contact me as I have sent numerous emails with no response for the past 2 days? None of these people bothered to call me!

Never use this company. Very BAD customer service if you can ever get off of hold waiting for them. Changing their name from Frontier to Vantage is not going to fix them. Had to use the Attorney General’s office of MN to get them to respond and admit all their billing errors.

Bought a 2014 Jeep Patriot on March 21, 2014. I loved it. Less than 3 month
Bought a 2014 Jeep Patriot on March 21, 2014. I loved it. Less than 3 months later, it starts missing and stalling with baby in the car. I rushed it straight to the dealer. They said there was an issue with the computer and the new one should be in the next day. I never heard from them. On the 3rd day I called, lady told me they had found a valve that was sticking and it would be there the next day. I had to work the weekend so I called that Monday. They said the computer was replaced but wasnt talking to the car so they had a specialist coming from Chrysler to see if they could fix it and he gave the number for us to get an advocate from Chrysler. We felt like this should not be happening with a new car with less than 5,000 miles on it. Told them we feel we got a lemon and want a replacement. Nothing extra just the exact same car or a warranty that covers the issue for the time we have the car. We are at week 3 and they still cant fix the car. The guy at the dealership said he had emailed people due to their inability to fix it. Its just sitting out back and I am stuck in a loaner half its size with bald tires that sucks the gas. Chryslers response: I have to continue paying on it. They will not replace it or any other compensation. And if I want a rental that is comparable to what I had, they will pay $25 a day but that is all because Enterprise does not carry their products.

Repair Issues - An improper or inferior repairProblem: On the 24 Nov 2010, I came into the Springfield Jeep and Chrysler dealership because my car had ran hot the day before. They said the problem was the therostate, but they could not tell which one was not opening so they said both had to be replaced. So I left my car and they replaced the first one and they had to order the second one. I returned on 2 Dec 2010 to have the second one replaced. Then two months later, my car ran hot again. So I was told to bring the car back, but the car did not run hot for them so they said they could not find out what the problem was so I left with my car and was told if it runs hot again bring it back. In two more months it ran hot again, again nothing happened in which they could not tell me what was going on. This continued until a week ago, when my car ran hot and would not cool down and I could not make it out to the dealership who had serviced it. I was told to take it to Liberty jeep and Chrysler in Hinesville, GA, where it is today. They told me something foreign was placed in the radiator and that I need a new radiator, new engine and air conditioner unit because the problem with my car was not fixed. It had gotten so bad everything was going wrong. Prior to this, my car was serviced in Maryland where I lived --at Freds Jeep ad Chrysler in Laurel, MD. I have a Jeep Patriot 2007, Silver which I purchased in 2008. So basically, I only had this car for two years. I am very dissatisfied with this service and unhappy about my car because now I do not have a car.

I purchased my 2014 Hero Latitude in Oct 2015. I have had nothing but issues with this vehicle. I purchased it with a little over 35 thousand miles. I have had a new transmission in about Feb or March in 2016. I have had a transmission mount replaced I. 2017 and another in -Oct 2020. I have had the shifter replaced or repaired about 2016. I’m having an issues once again with the shifter. I have had the throttle replaced in 2020. I current have over 76 thousand miles on my vehicle because I’m too afraid to drive too far. I will not even take a road trip for that reason.

I bought a Jeep in October (2017), not from this location but this is where I brought my car in for repairs. FIRST I NEED TO SAY WARRANTY ISNT COVERING A WARRANTABLE FIX - let me tell you a bit first... I was leaving for work last Saturday, 3/3/18, and my CV axle/ball joint malfunctioned. I bought my 2015 Jeep Renegade from Centennial location called Prestige Jeep... location (where I will leave a review next) and it was pre-owned. I dont know if this malfunction is due to the vehicles prior use (clean Carfax though) or due to a bad joint. There were plenty of other Jeep recalls on front drive axles since 2015. Anyhow, I have drive to and from all of my patients homes, (full-time nurse) and to and from UNLV (full-time student at 18 units!!!!!) and twice to the grocery store and gas each month. Thats where I have drive. This is a 2015 Renegade with 14,675 miles on it and the axle/ball joint is malfunctioning and the vehicle is undrivable. I bought extended warranty but dont waste your time and money doing that because not even the Jeep original warranty (5 years/60k miles) wont cover it. Lol and they had the NERVE at the SAHARA location to call me while my vehicle is sitting in their lot unfixed and ask me if Im interested in purchasing another Jeep LOL!!! UM ** NO. IM NOT BUYING ANOTHER JEEP OR ANYTHING UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF JEEP/CHRYSLER.

I purchase this 2009 Jeep a year and half ago. I have had nothing but problems with it. I had to replace the brakes when the dealer claims they were just replaced and cant forget the rotors, struts in the front, alternator. I went to Virginia on vacation and 50 miles outside of Richmond, I had no power in the Jeep. The Jeep was still running but when you push on the gas, nothing happens. We stood on the side of the road for an hour to let the Jeep cool down and the Jeep started up with no problem. I was going to the Cape and the Jeep stalled again. No lights came on. When we turn on the A/C, the Jeep stopped moving and we had no power at all. I took the Jeep back to Harr Ford and they claim that they couldnt find anything wrong and there wasnt anything wrong with the Jeep. I ask them,then, Why does this Jeep keep losing power? No one had an answer.To Be Continued... going to another garage.

I have a 2015 Jeep SRT bought in the dealer Flagship in Bayamon, Puerto Ric
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.

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.

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.

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 2018 a Jeep Cherokee Latitude. Jeep kept cutting off sometimes when I would drive it. When oil gets low motor will shut off. It would stall when making turns. I looked for leaks and didnt find any leaks. I noticed the jeep burns at least 2-3 quarts of oil every 2,000 to 3,000 miles. I called Dealer and Chrysler Corp. They said the same thing. Now I have to fill up with oil between oil changes. Sad, This Jeep burns oil like a old car.

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

We were stopped at a red light when my 1999 Jeep took off by itself. Even with both feet trying to hold the breaks we still ended up going thru the intersection. Very scary. Then about 20 minutes later on interstate the Jeep slowed itself down to 30 mph when we were originally traveling at 75 mph.

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.

My 2013 Jeep with 20,000 miles which I owned for 1 year has the 4 wheel system lock up. The dealership has my vehicle for the past 3 weeks and it is still not repaired. I was told that Chrysler has a problem doing repairs until all parts are tested and then will fix needed parts as Chrysler feels necessary. It has been over a week for parts to be sent to dealership. I am patiently waiting to hear from dealership. I paid over $46000 list price for vehicle and Chrysler is in no hurry to repair plus no vehicle was given to me to use during this period. Chrysler is not responsible for your transportation during repair and the dealership did provide me with a vehicle. I love the truck but will not buy another Chrysler product with this lousy customer service program. DISGRUNTLED!!!!!!!

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

I have a 2006 Jeep Commander. Everything from leaking grab bars to the brake system is broken. The door handles busted out. The grab bars leak every time it rains or you wash the car. You can be driving and all the dash lights come on but it has died while driving on interstate 75 at 70mph. stalls at lights, stop signs, esp. bas lights come on. The smell from the wet carpet and floor when it leaks is unbearable. When questioned the dealer about mold, the response was no way this car is built to last and withstand the wet. Dealer had the vehicle from Sept 14 to Jan 7 and only replaced door handles at my cost. This car is a safety hazard and I am afraid to drive it. It only has 67k miles on it.

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

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

I love my Jeep Renegade but I wish it had more features. The dealer did not know anything about the Jeep and was very misleading. I was upset once I signed the paperwork. I shouldve test drive it as well. Dont have Uconnect and the dealer led me to believe I would. I also would improve the price. I still think I was paying for the name Jeep and overpaid on the car. Nevertheless, having a Remote start is by far the best. I Love starting it 10 mins before I leave in the morning remotely. I also love power windows and having tire pressure gauges.

Jeep Extended Warranty Scam! If you just bought a New Jeep and you opt for
Jeep Extended Warranty Scam! If you just bought a New Jeep and you opt for the Lifetime Warranty then you have just been SCAMMED! Here is what happened to me, to prove my point. I bought a New 2017 Jeep Renegade on Jan 2018. After some thought and searching for an Extended Vehicle Protection plan, I decide to go with Mopar’s Vehicle Protection (MVP). So, I called Mopar, and the salesman told me that as soon as the Manufacturer Warranty ends then, the Extended Warranty would kick in!Well, Folks, This Was a Major Lie! The salesman NEVER said that this replaces your Manufacturer Warranty the Day that you buy it! AND it will automatically insert itself back to the date that you bought the vehicle! So, basically, you are paying for the Manufacturer Warranty! How stupid do I feel? I feel very stupid at this point! Who in their right mind would pay for a warranty that is FREE for 5 years? I know if I was told that this warranty would take the place of the Manufacturer Warranty from the time you bought it, I would say, “Hell-NO!” This is a Major SCAM People!So, I called Mopar (800-521-9922) and asked to speak to Admin to tried to explain that the Salesman at Mopar lied to me by not telling me that this Warranty would run Concurrent with the Manufacturer Warranty (Take its place) and that I would be paying for my warranty from the get-go! Now I don’t know about you folks, but who in their right mind would pay for something that is given to them for FREE? So, I tried to explain this to “Danu”. I don’t know the spelling of his name, but that is how he said it when I talked to him on June 28, 2019, @ 12 PM Mtz. He told me that this is correct and that I will get a refund back minus $1000 for the time that I was on this Extended Warranty Protection plan from Mopar, even though, Mopar (Jeep) was already given me for 5 year or 60,000 miles for free! I asked to speak to a supervisor of Manager and he said there isn’t any and then transfer me to a survey on how well this call went! LOL, of course, I gave the LOWEST possible score that I could give him! And, I kissed my $1000 goodbye! Needless to say, Jeep has just put another unhappy customer on the street to tell the masses what is going on behind the curtain of deception! So, people if you feel like being SCAMMED And throwing your money down the ** then just opt into the Jeep Lifetime Warranty Program! T. ** Colorado

In Jan my Jeep Patriot with 13,000 miles suddenly stopped on the highway. Dealer could not find a problem. On March 3, a 150 miles from home, it happened again. Nearly got crushed by a tractor trailer. Engine light came on. Had it towed the nearest Jeep dealer. Had to rent a car to get home. After three days dealer could not find the problem and suggested I call Jeep customer service. I did on March 6th. Customer service gave case # **. Said they would assign the problem to a case manager and she would call me on March 7th. I would also get an email from them confirming case number and their agreement to pay for the rental car. Neither happened on March 7th. I have called customer service 4 times since then and left messages for the case manager to call me. No callback. I emailed the Jeep executive office on March 8 to ask for help. No response. The dealer still has my car a 150 miles from home. It is now 10 days. I would suggest you think twice before buying a Jeep.

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.

I took the car to Advance to see why the engine light keeps coming on and why the car was blowing heat. They hooked it up and said that was a small leak and that it could be the gas cap. We fixed the cap and went on. After a we drove and the car got to half a tank, the engine light came back on again. Now back to the air conditioner. We have been back and forth with this. I took the car to the place that fixes my Lincoln, and they saw there was a leak coming out of the jeep from the air conditioner. He told me since it was under warranty, to take it to a jeep dealer. I took it to Five Star in Macon, and they said there wasnt a leak. They put Freon in the jeep and made note of what I said. Two days later, the car was hot again. I took the car back, and they said there was a leak and they needed to order the part. They fixed the jeep, and then, it went out again. I had to go out of town and I had to ride with no heat. On top of that, my children had to ride in it the entire time without any air. That is dangerous to anyone and mainly children. I drove around in Atlanta for a week because of the scheduling and being able to come back so they could fix it. They explained that if I got a rental, they wouldnt cover the days that the jeep was fixed. I just dropped the jeep again, and if its not done right again, what do I as a customer do? This is crazy that we were forced to ride in 117-degree weather and then some. As a customer, I am so angry and dissatisfied with the service that I have gotten.

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

On or about May 16, 2012, I began experiencing a horrible mold type odor emitting from my AC unit of our 2012 Jeep Liberty. On May 21, 2012, I brought our 2012 Jeep Liberty to the service department of the Faricy Boys Jeep Dealer in Colorado Springs, CO. They kept the vehicle for two days, diagnosed the problem and replaced the evaporator core. I picked up the Jeep and immediately detected a rubber type odor. I contacted the service adviser and was informed that the odor was the coating on the new evaporator core and would disappear in a couple of days.On June 1, 2012, while driving to work, I experienced the same odor and again returned the Jeep. I spoke with the service manager, who agreed the moldy odor still exists. He suggested possibly misting the vehicle to get rid of the smell. This was unacceptable and would only mask the cause. The Jeep was left at the dealership again with a request for a loaner vehicle. The service manager informed me that it was not their policy to provide loaner vehicles. We are making monthly payments of a new vehicle purchased by us to provide necessary transportation. We now do not have use of the vehicle due to a defective AC systems or component and are required to submit to the policies of the Jeep dealership. Jeep engineers have been contacted by the mechanic and have suggested contaminated antifreeze. This Jeep is an absolute lemon and we want it returned to the dealership.

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 am a corporate manager for a global company in Austin, Texas and am embarrassed in front of my colleagues to have purchased a Jeep. I am extremely disappointed in my much anticipated custom ordered 2011 Jeep Sahara 4D 4x4, VIN: BL611285, purchased/picked up on May 13, 2011.I have purchased a Lemon and am extremely disappointed and embarrassed with all the issues I am experiencing with this Jeep. It has left me stranded multiple times, where Ive had to pull over and wait on the side of the road. Twice it had to be towed, the farthest has been 150 miles away from my residency. This has affected my life and interrupted my work schedule several times.On August 15, on multiple times, Jeep had to be towed to dealership due to loss of communication with computer. Repaired on August 10. On August 2, the second time the Jeep went to dealership due to loss of communication with computer. Hot oil and warning lights caused me to pull over, then Jeep would not start. Work was performed on Aug. 10, re-flash computer. On July 14, 62 days from purchase date, I brought the Jeep to shop for miscellaneous issues and concern on rough engine start. On June 23, 41 days from purchase date, warning lights flashed on. During this time, I saw hot oil flashing pulled over and called towing. Work was performed (replaced wind module sensor--this seemed to address warning light issues).I am frustrated beyond belief that I am now considering following the recommendation of my Lemon Law lawyer, in addition to reporting my experiences with the BBB, plus publicize to numerous colleagues, family and friends on why they should not purchase a Jeep from Chrysler.I purchased the Jeep upon recommendation from family members who also recommended Jeeps to several friends, some actually purchasing from Chrysler. Im done and no longer have patience to waste valuable time on a vehicle that Im literally afraid it will leave me stranded.

I am the sole driver of my 2007 Jeep Sahara. I never took it out bogging and is extremely clean. I get teased all the time why I dont get it dirty. Power train warranty was 100000 km or 5 years, whatever came first. Im up at 108000 and it will be 5 years in 2 weeks. This is my third Jeep, and have owned two Rams, so I consider myself a good Chrysler customer. Well to my surprise, my transmission is ready to let go. Two Chrysler dealers in my area said they have never seen anything like this before and told me to contact Chrysler Canada and they might be able to bend the rules since this is a very rare incident and that my Jeep is such in good shape. Well, they pretty much slammed the door in my face. They will not do anything for me. I was going to trade her in for a new one this summer. Well I can tell you my mind has been changed. I will pay close to $2000 that it will cost me, but this will be the end of my Chrysler purchases forever.

We have a 2007 Jeep Commander with the lifetime, unlimited mile, unlimited time warranty from Jeep (Chrysler). For the past year, it has stalled repeatedly without warning. It just dies while going down the road which of course results in a loss of all power assist for steering and braking leaving the driver to muscle it out of traffic. It will restart but only after putting it in Park and turning the key completely to the off position and then restarting. It has been to the dealership multiple times, for a total time in the shop for a total time of about two months during the past year and they have yet to diagnose, much less, fix the problem despite getting Jeep engineers involved. We got the run-around from Jeep who eventually dropped the case and said we could start over with a new complaint. What value is a lifetime warranty on a vehicle that the dealer and manufacturer is incapable of repairing? The dealership has done what they can, but Jeep offers us NOTHING but words.

A few minor problems but overall a great car. Really a great highway car and also great for camping. If the weather is really bad the dog and I can sleep in the back. I am writing because I see that Land Rover has a line of dog accessories. I rescue old, sick dogs, no one else wants. They are nice dogs and we have a good time. As they get old it gets harder for them to get in the Jeep. I cannot find a ramp that they like. I put cheap AstroTurf in the back and would not mind buying a mat that fit. I guess that is it.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Garbage: After owning foreign cars my entire life,
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Garbage: After owning foreign cars my entire life, I decided to try a Jeep. I purchased a JGC with only 6000 miles on it and a full warranty. I also purchased the extended warranty that has 7 years, 100,000 mile warranty since my Jeep is fully loaded with all of the options. I must recommend to other buyers that you should AVOID any Jeep products. My jeep has had so many issues and I have wasted so much time at the dealership, that I regret my purchase. The most significant issue is that my Jeep will die while in Drive and Reverse, thus making it very dangerous to drive. Everyone seems to have the same issues as well. Horrible customer service, regardless of where you are located. Chrysler is a horrible brand and they deserve to go bankrupt. I will never buy another American car again. It is sad that our own products are junk, but that is what Chrysler is. Even the case manager assigned to me from Chrysler is a blithering idiot who wont even return my calls.

The customer service provided by Jeep and its affiliated mother company Chrysler is just plain AWFUL!! I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty and the window regulators on my car have broken THIRTEEN times since Ive owned the vehicle. Jeep was willing to repair the first 12 and has since refused to offer to pay the $475 it would take to repair the next broken regulator. Would YOU be naive enough to pay $475 dollars for something that happens THIS frequently? How would you feel if Jeep and Chrysler both said they werent willing to help you? And, suppose another regulator breaks next week - am I expected to pay $475 AGAIN??? My window is currently held in place with masking tape because the motor that powers it suddenly died (thirteenth time!). People can see how easily they can get into my car now.The replacement parts are faulty, the service for this takes 3-4 hours at a time, and Ive never once gotten an Im sorry or a thank you for your patience. You do the math - thats 36-48 hours of my life WASTED on THE SAME ISSUE. My time means nothing to these companies and neither will yours. Chrysler doesnt care about you. Theyve been giving me any excuse they can find to NOT help me! And Jeep has been no help since the issue should have been fixed during THE FIRST REPAIR! My most recent regulator issue broke on 4/7/17 and Ive been arguing with Chrysler and Jeep for TWO MONTHS because neither of us want to pay for the ** service. Why should I fix it? Why should I keep my car? Why should I ever buy any Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram products ever again?

I purchased 2013 Jeep Patriot Latitude in January of 2013. Since the car was purchased, I have had nothing but problems. The first issue was that the windshield wipers kept turning on by themselves. I took the car back to the dealerships service department only to be told that a star case was made. No resolution. The second issue that occurred was where the car completely stalled out at 10 MPH which nearly caused a terrible accident that could have injured myself and my 9 year old daughter. I had to turn the car off, wait and then turn it back on. The car stalled again. After 20 minutes of waiting, the car began to drive as normal. I took the car back to the dealership AGAIN. The service manager kept my Jeep for the entire day (keep in mind that they do not even issue rentals) and called to tell me that ANOTHER STAR CASE was made.After my third visit for the stalling issue and for the windshield wipers, the dealership finally decided to change the wipers relay switch which seemed to stop the problem. After 5 visits for the stalling issue, there still has not been any resolution. I have contacted Jeep over three times, via phone and by the email on the site and still have yet to be contacted from the representative in one business day. I am furious that I cannot get any type of satisfactory service. I will NEVER purchase another Chrysler product. I have began exploring other options for a new vehicle which is sad being that I am a single father who just needs reliable transportation to provide for his daughter. Oh by the way, today is 5/15/15, I had to take my Jeep into the service dealership at 10:15AM EST for yet another diagnostic check.

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

When I go through the smallest of puddles, my belt must slip and I lose my ability to steer properly. Like having to power steering. I have brought it to my mechanic and have now brought it to jeep. No one not even jeep knows how to fix this. There has been references made to an undercarriage shield, yet jeep says my car doesnt have one made for it.

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!!

Jeep Liberty 2004. After replacing a battery a week ago, I had a stall problem. I mentioned the battery because of a noise I heard before it died that I did not take much noise in but relates to the stall I had this week. I was coming home from work in congested traffic and started hearing a whirring noise. I heard it several times and noticed it was coming from my dash. This is also when I noticed the dash lights (radio and odometer lights were flickering). I also noticed a slight lose of power. As I came up to a light and stopped, the Jeep stalled. I quickly pushed the hazard lights, put it in park and restarted it. No problems since. I am concerned about driving it. What if I had been driving and not stopping at a light? I was in bumper to bumper traffic.

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.

While out of town on a road trip, my car stalled on the interstate and cut completely off. The inside lights would not work and the dashboard lights began to flicker. It restarted and I was able to pull over at a gas station. Once stopped, a burnt smell and smoke began to come from the gearshift inside the vehicle. I was coming back from out of town and was 2 hours away from home. I was completely stranded with my family and was fortunate enough that the event we were at out of town had a charted bus and I was able to contact them and give us a ride home. Now, my car is 2 hours away from home and I am going to have to pay to get it towed to a dealership. This is completely and utterly dangerous! I looked up my symptoms and I have seen hundreds of complaints of the exact same things happening but no resolution from Chrysler or the dealerships. Consumers should not have to be responsible for manufacture’s defaults. At this point with the hundreds of complaints about the same issue, it is a default!

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 have a 2009 Jeep Liberty, 2 weeks after I drove it off the lot I noticed that the heater was not working. Took it in and the heater core had blown. Since I had this Jeep it has blown 4 times!!! The dealership (Suncoast located in Florida) and manufacturer will not help with the repairs. How can the same thing malfunction 4 times? How could they not help with the repairs of a part that has malfunctioned 4 times? I was sold a lemon! And will never purchase another Jeep again.

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 bought my jeep in August 2014. I first had problems with it September 26, 2014 with the transmission. The dealer fixed the issue and said things were fine. On November 8th, the lights came on and it wouldnt drive. Had to have it towed again. I stated I did not want this car. The dealership stated they talked to Chrysler and they would not do anything. On December 29, 2014, I was driving the engine and another light came on and the car hardly moved and would not go into reverse. The car is at the dealership and I am waiting to hear if Chrysler will now admit it is a lemon. The car appears to have problems every 2,000 to 2,500 each time. I am extremely disappointed and upset with Chrysler. I owned a Jeep Compass from 2011 to 2014 and had no problems.

I bought my 2017 Jeep Compass brand new, the 8th month in I was driving on
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.

Bought new 2014 Jeep Patriot. This vehicle was operated according to break in options in Jeep manual. The check engine light came on at 800 mi. Jeep was taken to dealer and light turned off. Mechanic stated that there was a BULLETIN? I left with the Jeep. Again at approx. 1500 mi. check engine light came on. Jeep was taken to dealer and light was turned off. The explanation was they had no idea what was causing the problem. A Chrysler REP he said? was at the dealer and told me the engineers were working on the problem? I told them I bought the new car for peace of mind not for worse problems than I had. The REP told me to drive it and dont worry. I am 66 YOA, have had heart surgery and need a vehicle that wont strand me or cause me undue stress. I decided to purchase a different 2014 Patriot. I asked the Jeep customer service for help and was blown off after several contacts. I was told that We fix problems, not help people buy new cars. The personnel at Jeep lied to me several times and played games with my complaint. I was referred to three different case mgrs. All I asked was for help with Tax and registration fees that I had paid twice in less than a month. I intend to somehow find a contact for someone in management. These people are on a pedestal and are hard to contact. This attempt at peace of mind has cost me thousands. I need HELP.

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.

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.

I purchased this 2007 Jeep Commander when it was 2 years old. It still had a factory warranty. It has been nothing but a piece of garbage. This is by far the worst vehicle that I have ever owned, or that anyone I know has ever owned. Nothing but a pile of troubles. Windows never worked right, sometimes they went up, and sometimes they get stuck (elect). Water leaks through the sunroof tubes because of poor design. They need to be cleaned out twice a year or my car will be soaking wet and leaking from the handles and down through the doors to the floor. When heater turns on, makes loud squealing sounds, and to turn heat off you have to hit the ac switch. Seats also had bad wiring and would not adjust back and forth.I do regular maintenance on my car every three months, and my vehicle is garage kept. Ever since I had this Jeep, it stalls, wont start on first crank intermittently, shuts off while driving, and windshield wipers work when they decide to go on for no apparent reason. When I take it for service, no one sees anything wrong with it. No codes, no problems when test driving. Everytime I get this Commander out of the garage, two months later it is being towed in for another problem. In the last 15 months, I have had to replace the oil pan (really??? Rusted completely through), water pump, fuel pump, leaking transmission lines (poor design, rubbing together), crank sensor, and NOW to my amazement the ECM.Really??? I want to puke. Got to fix it, so that I can get rid of it. Because I NEVER want to look at another Jeep/Chrysler product again. I really hate the fact that someone else has to get this money trap junk. Because that is exactly what it is!!! When this Jeep hit 100,000 miles, which was 15 months ago, it has proved to be moneymaker for Jeep parts and labor, and a real unreliable vehicle for the owner. Lets not forget all the electrical and design problems it has had from the start. I am still at a shock about the computer system going bad. Yeah 1400.00, that never should have happened!!! I cannot wait to get it fixed and get it out of my name.

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

Sunday my Jeep 2019 Compass 13,000 miles wouldn’t start because of “software malfunction.” Got roadside assistance Monday morning to get it towed from a shopping center the car stopped at to dealer. Next day they gave me the car saying it’s fixed. Next morning same thing happened. I was in school so I arranged the car to get towed from my school. No one came for an hour so I called back and roadside said it was no records of it. I created another request of roadside around noon. They promised to pick it up within 60 min. At 7pm I called the dealer to see if it was dropped off and they had no record of it. I called back roadside assistance and the pick up was cancelled. No one called or texted to let me know. Then they said sorry. They arranged for my towing. It will be there in 60min.It’s 8pm. I still don’t know if my car has been picked up, towed, stolen (because they tell you to leave the keys inside the car). God knows what would happen. There you have it, Jeep Warranty roadside assistance. It’s been 8hrs and I have no idea what’s going on with my car. I could have been stranded on the side of the road with a baby and they wouldn’t know I need help. Seriously baffled at how a huge multimillion dollar company has such third-rate unacceptable customer service and emergency response team.. Mind you that is a warranty issue. NEVER BUYING A CHRYSLER IF ITS THE LAST CAR STANDING.

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

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!

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

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

Jeep Wrangler CRD 2008 - Its a great car...

On 40,000 I had to change dual mass flywheel... it fell apart. On advice from Jeep I went to other mob and this assembly and the clutch were modified to single mass flywheel. Just turned 60,000 and during acceleration from the traffic light it was a bang followed from loss of power and engine control light came permanent ON. From description from the manual... possible cause is blown catalytic converter... very cheap part. Only A$4000.00... This part should last the life time of the engine. What cause it... is terra icognita... even for Jeep experts in Brisbane. I cannot rate this car reliable. It is been driven only on city streets. Never been on the beach or in the mud.

While driving on vacation, on the 2nd day, my 2008 Jeep at 41,138 gave out
While driving on vacation, on the 2nd day, my 2008 Jeep at 41,138 gave out on the transmission. I had to stop in MS State for repairs costing $3,699.13+135.60 car rental. Upon returning home, I called Chrysler who is willing to pay only $1,500 with no explanation or were concerned as to why the Jeep did what it did. I have been at this since August 14. Today, I am told the check for $1,500 is on the way but I have asked them to reopen the case as I am still not satisfied nor was I given any reasons except that the Jeep loaner has any warranties. It seems the Jeep had three years, 36,000 and no more. My question was whatever happened to power train warranty of 80,000/100,000?I find Chrysler staff incompetent to do their job in dealing with their customer and has no lack of concern over this early transmission issue with the Jeep. Mind you, they acknowledged it is an early problem but because they feel there is no warranty with the car, they were not going to further review why the transmission failed. They never called the dealership where it was repaired to this day. I have reported them to the TX AG and NHTSA/DOT and will continue to post this issue on any website that will alert any consumers on this automaker. Now that the case has been reopened, I will wait and see what the outcome will be the second time around. There was a day when I asked for the Chrysler corporations phone number. The operator gave me to their roadside assistant line.I am very angry and very frustrated at the way I have been treated. By the way, they not only asked me for the repair bill. They had the gall to ask me for my credit card statement to show that I really did pay for the repairs of $3,699.13. How do you like that for treatment by Chrysler Customer Care? I would like all Chrysler owners to review their warranty and those that are thinking of buying any Chrysler products, read the warranty book before buying their cars.

A number of times, the transmission felt as if a clutch was slipping. This happened first thing in the morning a number of times. The dealer changed something he called the valve. A week later - the same thing happened while climbing Mt. Washington, NH. I had to do a dangerous U-turn and had no engine braking all the way down. After an hour, the problem cleared. The dealer actually told me that there is no engine braking on this car... Chrysler said that if the dealer doesnt find the problem then they will give me the car back.

This is the third car I own, my first two cars were Honda and now I am currently driving a 2018 Jeep Compass. I have been driving this car since August, on 2/26/19 around 1:30pm I was driving for about 2 minutes when I stopped at a red light and my automatic stop/start turned my car off, I pressed the button and my car started again normally. As the light turned green I moved my foot from the break to the gas and my car did not move. I pressed the auto again and I still did not move, continued to put my car in park and nothing would work. I had to restart my car twice before it would move. This all happened while at a green light with cars behind me. On 2/27/19 at 2:45pm I started my car and while I was still driving pressed the auto stop/start, I get about 200 feet further before my car starts slowing down on its own and shut off. I waited some time before restarting my car. On 3/1/19 at 2:30pm I did not have auto stop/start on, I was driving for some time and my car started to slow down again so I pushed on the gas to accelerate, it would not accelerate and I was able to pull over to the side when my car came to a stop on its own and the emergency break light came on on its own. I waited some time again before restarting my car. I do not feel safe driving this car as it is dangerous to just stop on its own. **Please note the vehicle has approximately 2965 miles on it as of 3/2/19.

First of all, I want to say that up until this last purchase, I have been a loyal Chrysler customer since the 60s and have purchased about 10 of their vehicles including this 2011 Jeep. My wife and I traded our 2001 Durango 4x4 for the Jeep to be able to continue occasionally exploring back country areas in the Carolinas and Tennessee with the option of a removable soft top. Everybody knows that Jeeps are supposed to be Trail Rated, yet they sell a vehicle that if used off road (just gravel roads) that it will burn up the transmission due to excessive fluid heat. If we did extreme off-roading (mud bogging or rock climbing) like you see Jeeps doing on TV, I might accept having to install additional equipment. Im told by Jeep Customer Service that if I want to use my vehicle this way, I have to pay for installation of an additional transmission cooler. Why didnt the Engineers incorporate that into the vehicle in the first place? I understand they reconfigured the standard cooler into the A/C condenser vs. the Radiator. Did they Trail Test it? Are they willing to lose loyal customers over a couple hundred dollar part? They do install the factory cooler if you get the tow package, but I didnt plan to tow anything with my Jeep so it didnt concern me that the one I bought wasnt equipped with this package. Since Ive dealt with this particular dealership for over 20 years, Ive called and asked for the owner to respond by phone to see if he is more honorable than Chrysler.

I 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.

My husband bought me the 2004 Jeep Wrangler Sahara brand new. I have been driving it, plowing with it, towed other cars with it and pulled people out of snow banks with it. I have never had a problem with it. Some of the complaints I see on here are just plain stupidity. Read your owners manual before you drive it. Learn what 4x4 high and low are used for before you just engage it and drive down the road. For the one legitimate jeep complaint I saw (water leaks), go on Jeepforum.com and some super nice people will tell you many different ways to fix it, some with videos.

My wife went to an automated car wash. When the wash was done, she put the Jeep in drive and the vehicle took off on its own. She could not get the Jeep to slow down at all. Using all her force on the brake, she could not slow the vehicle down. She ended up flipping the Jeep several times, totaling the vehicle. Thank God there were no pedestrians or other vehicles involved. She was lucky that she was not killed. She has several broken ribs and lacerations and was badly bruised. She’s never been in such pain. I think that Chrysler needs to look at this situation very closely. It also seems that the government should be stepping in also seeing how many of these incidents have now happened. Could someone please help us with this on whom to contact about this?

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

I am experiencing an engine stall problem. I bought the car (Jeep Commander) in the UK for 136 thousand. A similar car has been recalled in the US, but nothing is being done in the UK. I dont know where to complain, and I think it is a manufacturers fault.

I have a 2011 Jeep Liberty Limited. I change oil and everything as required. I noticed it having a little tick in 2015 and took it dealership but it wouldn’t do it on the test drive. Then again in 2016 and they said it was AC kicking in. Well it was a sign of a major problem. It wanted stalled out on me after an hour and in cold weather and then at 140k miles and cold weather engine would not go over 30 mph. Had coil and sensors and plugs change out still didn’t want to get good mileage of take off. Then it started smoking and it was a gasket at 150500 miles. As good as I am with this engine it cost $4000 to put new gasket and catalytic converter on it. Never buy a Jeep again! The engine still wants to die on me but too upside down to trade it in now.

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

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.

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

I have had my 2013 Jeep Patriot for almost 5 years now. I like this car because it gets good gas mileage, it has a satellite radio, heated seats, heated mirrors and radio controls on the steering wheel. Also it has a sunroof that I enjoy a lot. I like almost everything about my Jeep Patriot. The only thing I dislike a little is that it is a bit hard to tell how close you are getting to objects. But other than that, it has been a very reliable vehicle and all I have had to do is have it serviced.

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

When driving for a while, coming off ramp and stopping to make turn, I lost power and heard popping noise, and a white blue smoke pours out the back. Then I get the power back. I took this to the Jeep dealer 2x and its been in there for 3 days now and they still cant find what is wrong. I also took it to a Goodyear place. They found after 2k miles of getting an oil change, I had no oil, yet I have no leak. My concern is when I lose power when I turn into traffic, the cars or trucks behind me - when the white smoke is in their face - dont know Im not going anywhere and they can cream me. I feel unsafe driving.
