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 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 always been a Jeep fan, from the time of childhood. I loved everything about them, the look, the engine, the fact that they were American made, and the impression that they took care of their customers. Sadly something as little as an auxiliary cord insert has changed all that. After my auxiliary cord started to malfunction I took the car into the jeep dealership to get it looked at. They sprung their diagnosis fee at me last minute which so happened to be $100 dollars, to look at the radio. They came back to tell me conveniently that this issue couldnt be fixed and that I would need an entire new radio which would be extra, of course. Knowing exactly what happened to the auxiliary cord, I questioned their diagnosis.So I contacted the company directly, which apparently means to them that I didnt understand what was being told to me at the dealership, so they clarified all the information, (basically a waste of time with ID member **), who also failed to answer my other question of who is supervisor was and how to contact them. What makes matters worse is that I was informed in the waiting room by a fellow customer, how to fix the problem for only $50. I had already agreed to the diagnosis fee, assuming the Jeep Company had their customers interests at heart. Instead I felt like it was another situation of a big company taking advantage of the little guys, for a small price.After seeing their reviews, it doesnt surprise me that their customer service rate is so low. It seems as though Jeep is trying to fix that the wrong way. All of the employees were very nice telling me they were unable to fix the problem, but thats not what customer service is about. Its not about being nice. Its about having your customers best interest at heart and that is NOT a Jeep thing.Further information, I have had the car 2 years and as great as it has treated me, its not a car I would recommend. I got into a minor fender bender a couple of months back where I hit another car going 10 mph. There was no visible damage to either cars, so we just exchanged information and went our separate ways. The Next day my check engine light went on and my car started to act funky, so I took it into Midas. They told me that it looked like my car hit a metal pole, with all the damage that was created, $900 of internal damages after a hit going 15 mph.Another issue Ive had with the car was its roaders. My aunt drove my car over a parking curb. That one bump created an additional $800 bill because the roaders are not make to support that type of maneuver. (Rolling OVER a CURB.) Jeeps get a fake rap for being tough. That is not the case with the patriot. I am done with Jeeps based on their priorities alone. Take care of your mechanics (who get paid by the customer btw, not the company). Take care of your customers, and maybe your cars.

This vehicle we have had been great for us for the last 5 yrs. The only issue is the motor. We had the lifters and rockers replaced under warranty just under the 100 000 miles but they went bad again and we dont have the money to repair it again. The only problem with the 2014 Jeep is the motors have issues that we believe Jeep knows about but have not said anything. I have heard the 3.6 is not a good motor.

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 have 2 accidents in the first month I have it. The worse car I ever bought. And the engine keeping give problems. Can you help? I almost kill myself and my kids. I broken all the windows, poor vision, engine, jerking stops.

Currently, new power train motor mount, car is stalling and stops. Chrysler changed my dealership. Antwerpen treated me poorly and sold a defective vehicle with rust and all. Currently, the car is at Tate in MD. All Im asking for is an extended warranty. Many more parts have been changed. The trouble is that the dealership cant duplicate problems. They have to use on star. Even then, I was told by Mr. ** that they cant duplicate problem. I have an extended history of service with the vehicle. It requires its own file box. I need assistance in order to obtain an extended warranty.

I really enjoy driving the 2017 Jeep Patriot. Its very comfortable, gets good gas mileage, and it handles well in snow. I dont know if I could drive anything but a Jeep now.

I am 65 years old, and purchased a 2007 Jeep Liberty on June 12, 2014. I had no idea of the fuel tank installed behind the rear axle. Prior to purchase, I had done a CarFax report that revealed no recalls. Shortly thereafter I received a notice of recall on the trailer hitch and waited 9 months for the replacement hitch to be available and had it replaced at the Chrysler dealership. No one ever told me about the gas tank mounting behind the rear axle and that 75 people had been burnt to death in rear collisions. Now I am stuck with a vehicle I still owe $8000 on and no one wants to buy. It is sad that our National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Chrysler dont care about our safety and that a band aid of a trailer hitch could protect lives from a fuel tank explosion in a rear end collision over 40 mph.

I own or I should say paying to own my Jeep. I have had it for 3 years. So far it has been dependable. Not a fan of how the transmission works. It shifts but not always when it needs to. Been that way since the day I bought it. Since I have had it we have not had any real expensive repairs. We had to take it to the dealership to have a wheel sensor replaced. Other than tires and a realignment its been trouble free. I would recommend a Jeep Compass.

Brand new car and after one month of driving the A/C shut off. It happened twice. Went in shop, no solution. It would not lock, went in shop, fixed. Seat belt lights came on and 4x4, transmission also. Car has been in shop for 17 days. Not fixed yet.

My experience with buying and owning a Jeep Patriot. I bought a Jeep Patriot Sport with a manual transmission in 2011. Bought it new (zero miles). I now have only 33000 miles on the vehicle. It has never been off-road and has never pulled or towed anything. Recently, I noticed a noise coming from the powertrain. Took it to a mechanic who advised me that I probably needed a clutch replacement (clutch, throw-out bearing and pressure plate). I contacted Chrysler/Jeep about the situation and asked if they would cover the repairs on the powertrain. Their response was as in this e-mail response: Thank you for contacting the Jeep Customer Assistance Center. It is understandable that you would like to know if you have warranty coverage prior to getting your vehicle repaired at an independent repair facility. As per your warranty booklet, manual transmission clutch parts are not covered at any time and the pressure plate throw out bearing was only covered for 1 year and 12000 miles so there would be no factory warranty coverage for these repairs. I also want to let you know that the Powertrain warranty expired on September 30, 2016. While looking into this matter for you, I also see that you have 1 incomplete recall. The S61- OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER recall does not yet have parts available but the parts are expected to become available in June. Once the parts become available you can get that repair completed by scheduling an appointment at your local dealership. I would like to add you to the special tracking so that you receive an email when those parts become available. You also have an extended warranty for your (X69) FRONT/REAR CROSSMEMBERS. You are able to have a free annual inspection for the Cross Members and if they are deemed to be corroded any time prior to September 30, 2021, they will be replaced free of charge as well. Thank you again for your email. Should you require additional assistance, or have any new information to provide, please reply to this email message or call 1-877-I-AM-JEEP (1-877-426-5337).In 2011, when I purchased this vehicle (new) I had every expectation that it would last a long time. I have kept up on the maintenance and, as evidenced by the low mileage, I have driven it reasonably. I certainly did not expect that there would be two safety recalls, (one of which they cannot correct because they dont have the parts to resolve the issue). I certainly did not expect that there would be a potentially serious issue with corrosion of FRONT/REAR CROSSMEMBERS, to the extent that Jeep extended the warranty on these parts only. And I certainly did not expect that the powertrain would go out on me so soon, at only 33000 miles.In retrospect, upon examining the warranty information more closely, it seems that there must be a reason Chrysler/Jeep offers such an inadequate warranty on their product. Could it be that they know they are selling an inferior product that would probably fail in a relatively short time? One can only guess. I must conclude, from my experience, that Chrysler/Jeep has produced and sold an inferior product (as described above) and that further, they appear to be unwilling to back up their product with an adequate warranty plan. It is my intention to NEVER purchase another of their products. Furthermore, I cannot, in good conscience (based upon this experience) recommend that anyone else purchase any of their products. Since it is evident that Chrysler/Jeep is not going to do anything to resolve the situation, I guess that I am left without recourse. Lesson learned. Dont buy a Jeep. Caveat emptor.

I own a 2002 Jeep Liberty w/ 3.7L/V6 engine. The main issues is the RADIATOR made of combined plastic and aluminum components. I had my faulty radiator replaced 5 times since I bought it due to horrible leaking! This design flaw of PLASTIC components, COMBINED with the leaking the radiator ALWAYS RESULTS to ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO 1) valve gasket busted, 2) coolant mixing into the ignition chamber or within the cylinders, 3) Valve seat problems... ALL causing CYLINDER MISFIRES. The downside... is VERY, VERY expensive as in the thousands of dollars! Radiators hose are also troublesome. There are many issues with Jeeps product and 3.7L engine design, that many in the World wide web consider it a JUNK (SCIENCE). Wondering, they have discontinued the LIBERTY design?What I have observed is the MIXED plastic components also found in its interiors, electronic issues, fan clutch issues, power steering noise issue including rack & pinions, hoses and belts and become easily TOO rotten, I have been upkeep with maintenance: Synthetic engine oil, transmission fluid exchange, Coolant exchange, Rear diff exchange, Air filters, BELTs and tensioner, etc. BUT still it boils down to the Radiator plus minus ENGINE cooling components. FEEL the HEAAATTTTT! LESSON Ive learned. STAY AWAY from a JEEP PRODUCT!

I just leased a 2012 Jeep Liberty. Jeep on their own website says that every radio system on the Jeep Liberty comes with Sirius XM radio and a 1-year subscription, as does the new car window sticker, and as did the salesman who leased me the vehicle. However, poking around all the channels on my new Sirius XM radio, I find that there are channels missing. Upon deeper research, I find that I actually have a Sirius Select subscription, not a Sirius XM subscription as promised. And upon further checking I find that I cannot just upgrade my subscription on my own to get Sirius XM channels because Sirius XM requires a “different radio than is offered with the Jeep Liberty!”If Jeep had said, Our Sirius XM (the manufacturer) radios come with a free 1-year Sirius Select subscription, that would be one thing, but they did not. I have been on the phone with Sirius XM, and many times with the Jeep dealer and with Jeep corporate. Today the Jeep sales manager called me and basically said, Sorry but we are not liable for that. The assigned Jeep case worker told me first that they would give me free oil changes. When I insisted they keep their word and give me Sirius XM radio as promised, she then came back and said they would cover half of the cost of the Sirius XM radio. If they arent responsible, why would they do that? When I tried to nail the case manager down about exactly how much that is and if that included the subscription, she said she didnt know. Obviously she is going back and forth with the dealership, which is not owned by Jeep but is an independent dealer. I also looked into getting Sirius XM internet radio, but again that still does not have the XM stations I want, so I cant cover this on my own without spending hundreds. But I shouldnt have to do that anyway. The issue isnt just a few channels. The issue is that Jeep is not providing something that is promised and is listed on the sales receipt. I dont want to make a huge deal about this. All I want is what I was promised. How about it, Jeep?

Larry H Miller dealership has resolved the issue to my satisfaction. They stepped up and repaired the broken trans dipstick tube with no charge to me. However, Chrysler Llc would not assist with the repair.

So Chrysler Jeep back in 2007, to sell more vehicles, started offering an unlimited power train warranty, for the life of your vehicle while you owned it, which sounds great. IF THEY TOLD YOU THAT YOU NEEDED TO HAVE AN INSPECTION OR IT WOULD BE VOIDED. Come to find out that apparently itis stated in the documents, you put away after purchase and never at till you need service. Oh we notified you. So they claim that it was to expire. Check your warranty papers. This is bad business. Chrysler has found a way to back out of its commitment again. My vehicle was in for service in Dec 2013, my five years would of been 3 months later. Someone at dealer should of mention. Now that I need the warranty it has been VOID. Thank you.

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.

My 2016 Jeep Patriot is 3 months old today. Had 11km on it when we left the lot. 2 weeks ago today we were driving on the highway and touched a button on the nav screen and the screen cracked like a spider web. Jeep is saying its not covered under warranty so Id like to know why I pay for warranty? Im beyond pissed and Ill never buy another jeep again. Wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen? One lady at the dealership thinks the high temps might have caused it as it was 40C at the time.

I bought a new 2018 Jeep Renegade. At three months/4,200 miles it kept stalling out. I called the dealership for suggestions. They stated that I needed to check my oil level. I was very confused by that being a new vehicle. It was over 5 quarts low!! No check engine or oil lights ever came on at any time! How is that possible?! How long have I been driving without oil in my engine? After some online research, I am seeing this has been a big issue with this model with no recalls. NOT ACCEPTABLE!! Buyers beware!!!

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

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.

Its a 2007 Jeep Compass with 42,000 miles. This has been the worst car ever! This will make the second time the clutch is failing, both times within less than 12k miles and a little over a year. First time it happened I knew it could have not been my driving ( I never had issues with clutches before and I bought it brand new). The dealer replaced the t/o bearing and clutch plate. The dealer was in shock because they had no clue what caused the clutch and bearing to shatter.Now I am at a second time, out of 3/36 warranty and I am ** because the dealer did not know what the root cause of my problem was. The sad part is that this is not the only problem with the car. It has had multiple issues that the dealer can never catch it doing. I mean it is awesome when it decides not to start. No battery click, no starter engaging, no cranking, nothing. Then 10 mins later, oh it starts fine.

New car under 2000 miles returned to the dealer 4x + for the same issue. Dealer cannot fix and Jeep is not standing behind their product. Talked to a rude sr. escalation manager Patricia at Jeep with the resolution team (**) who told me she cannot help any further and is the highest level of support at the Jeep brand. Dealer stated there is nothing more they can do and reached out to Jeep for help. Getting the runaround by Jeep corp and would never buy another Jeep product again. Will pursue local lemon law and NCDS replacement claim. Truly unfortunate that Jeep does not care about their customers or products. Really hard to recommend Jeep to others and suggest they learn how to treat customers and fix their major quality issues.

I leased a 2017 Jeep Renegade. Since August 2017 this vehicle has failed to start every time and has been in and out of the shop for more than 40 cumulative days. I am very disappointed in the vehicle and at this point accepted the fact that the vehicle is unreliable. The vehicle has had numerous parts replaced by the dealer (eg. harness, fuel injectors, brake switch, etc). I want other people to know what experience I have had as this has not been a fun ride.

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.

Its hard to explain it all but in a nutshell -- Jeep doesnt stand behind their product and their customer service is a disservice. In June 2018, my Liberty roof got stuck open. The local dealer was helpful in getting the roof closed but said the part to repair it was back ordered 48 weeks. When the roof started to leak a bit more, I called Jeep/Chrysler to find a solution. OMG. Useless people and baloney answers. The part is in manufacturing. I said, Good. How many are you shipping next week? IDK. How many Jeeps did you produce with a sky slider roof? IDK. A case manager will call you back. Oh that is not my dealership.They should be ashamed of themselves to not support a car that is only 8 yrs old and allow the interior to ruined by the rain and not offer a viable solution to protect your investment. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND A JEEP PRODUCT AGAIN and I have had several. Buy a TOYOTA!!! or Hyundai --my second car is GREAT!

Ok, I had an issue with my jeep stalling as I was driving. Theres no noise, it ran quietly, but it just stalled. After a little while, I got it started and I went straight home gassing it to get there, then I parked it. After a couple of hours, I went back out to start it and it fired up like no problem occurred! But the next time I got in it, it started; and it was heading down the road, and it stalled on me again in the middle of an intersection endangering my life! Thank God, I had help after an hour or so; and I got it pulled into a parking lot to be towed later. We were told it was probably the fuel filter or pump going bad. So we forked out $200 to get it changed. Did that change the problem? No. It started up again. I took it down the road and it stalled out again. So with this going on, I did some digging on the internet and found others were having these issues.A lot were saying that the PCM module is bad. So I called Jeep to find out about a recall on the PCM module. They said I had to take it to one of their service places to get verification that this was the issue. They couldnt get it to start and said I needed to change an SKIM module ($375.00). Its more out-of-pocket. The reason the SKIM module got burned out, by what the mechanic said, was because of the power control module. So now that 1 month or so has passed and my daughter has a heart condition and my mother is 3 hours away having quadruple bypass surgery, I dont have a vehicle to get there and be with her. And I finally got a response from Jeep Daimler Chrysler that it isnt under warranty to be fixed. Even though its their malfunctioning part that was put on the vehicle when made, they dont want to be accountable for it. So either we pay the $800.00 for the PCM module or I dont have a reliable safe-driving vehicle. How can manufacturers get away with this?

I 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.

Let me start from the beginning. I bought a brand new 2015 Jeep Renegade. First week the brakes and rotors had to be changed then week 2 I took in for capless gas tank not letting me fit the nozzle in and an extremely rough idle. They did a software update on it and said nothing was wrong with the gas tank. Next, I take in again because motor is extremely rough and still not able to put the nozzle in without having to fight with the nozzle and force it in. Salesmen and managers all experience this and the extremely rough idle. They tell me the parts are on back order so I take to another dealership who does 5 more motor updates and I call customer care about the parts being on back order and them not being able to fix the rough idle either. She tells me they would overnight the parts. This actually takes a week.I ask for a rental car and they tell me that there none available because of the long weekend which is a lie so I ask Sarah the customer care lady in charge of my case if I can rent my own and be reimbursed, she tells me yes. I go pick up my car a week later and still vibrates off and on like a week later. At this point I have had it in 4 times for the same issue. The customer care lady would do nothing! She tells me I have to keep taking it in as long as it takes! I was so frustrated by her customer service and the lady at the car service center that I just traded it in and lost 4000.00 on trade in! Their customer case managers are the worse people to have to deal with! And to top it off, they said they wouldnt pay for the rental car because I got rid of the piece of junk and they closed the case!

I bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade August of 2018. This past year I have been paying for oil changes every 2500 miles or so. (Should be 5k with synthetic.) Thats 116$ bill. I honestly thought the place I had doing my oil changes was gypping Me on oil. I took it to a few different places. After the vehicle started displaying oil pressure low on the screen and shut off, while on a major highway doing 57 mph with my 6 & 2 years old boys in the back. This happened a few times while driving. A mechanic at Valvoline told me the renegades were having this issue and the engines are bad.. funny.. Would have been nice if Jeep or Chrysler had sent out a warning or recall! They knew this was happening and have ignored warning their good paying customers. So for the past YEAR I have been paying 721$ (on time!) a month for a vehicle that was a lemon, paying for twice as much oil, and being legitimately in harms way every time my family and I got in this car.They are replacing the engine. Have me a loaner for the week... I expressed how uncomfortable I am now driving this vehicle and everything that Ive been through. And Im sure the other countless renegade drivers out there with no idea! Jeep is just going to wait until someone gets fatally hurt to issue a recall on the engine. I will not be dismissed. Thats what they keep doing! When I call Jeep or go to the dealership. I am a person, this is my hard earned money and I will NOT BE IGNORED. I hope people see this and get their car checked. I want to be heard. You wronged me. Get it together Chrysler Jeep!!!!

I purchased my jeep in February of 2015 from Mancaris Chrysler in Oak Lawn, IL. My experience with the purchase was horrific, as they sold me a 2 wheel drive for the price of an 4X4. Tried to tell me I had an 4X4, but my insurance company stated that according to the VIN it was a 2x4. They argued with me back and forth before they finally said the insurance company was right. You would think they would give me a 4x4, no, they did not without me having to put an additional 2 thousand dollars down on it. Okay, I did that. Got my 4x4 and moved on. Then I get the recall notice for R01. Took it in of course and afterwards, the Jeep did not drive the same. A lot of jerking/coughing going on. When I stop at a light, and when the light turns green, I go forward, the Jeep stalls before it would go. Same thing occurs when I make a turn. It could cause someone to run into me from the back because the Jeep stalls. Okay, took it back in, but then I got the recall for a R05. So while getting the second recall done, they were going to look at the issues I explained as well. When I left they said they looked at it and all was fine. Well everything was not fine, it continued to do the same thing. Took it back. They tells me that my 9.V engine is causing the Jeep to do that, and that is the way it is and nothing is wrong with it. On the way home, my entire dashboard goes dark and the ceiling light keeps popping on and off. The next day the check engine lights comes on. Took it back in, but to a different Jeep service department. They had it all day, only to tell me nothing was wrong. That was two days ago. Today while driving to the train station, my check engine light comes on again. WTF!!! Jeep is a piece of JUNK. Please DO NOT PURCHASE A JEEP!!!

Took my jeep into get fixed. I got it back with a 10 inch crack in it. The service guy told me it was a stress crack. He took pictures of it, my mileage and vin number. It took 4 days for approval after I made a ton of calls to the Chrysler company. The service guy told me that this happened to another jeep last week. Obviously there is a defect with the windshield.

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 have put a ton of money in my front end. Practicably rebuilt it, Im not in any state to waste any more money. My brakes have been replaced about six times. I have only owned this jeep for about three years. I need answers right away on the recall parts please. My jeep Laredo is a 2000. Please help. I transport elderly around town and Im nervous. I care about their safety. Thank you.

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.

Having major issues with my Leased Jeep Grand Cherokee 2018. Every person I turn to, is turning me away. I have left several messages with Jeep on my case #** and no one has gotten back to me. I have called into Jeep everyday for the last month. I have names, dates, and no callbacks! Only aggravation! My car contains mold, I have taken my vehicle in for service 3 times already and every service center tells me there is nothing wrong with my car. During this time my car is in service, I had to rent a car (at my expense) because Jeep will not provide me with a loaner. I have been in and out of service centers since August. As the time goes by the smell is getting stronger and stronger. It has come to a point where I cannot even use the car. Mold is a health hazard and I will not put myself nor my children at a health risk! I do not want this car! I want to cancel my lease agreement and not have to deal with Jeep ever again! This is experience has become a nightmare from Hell! I dont know who else to call at this point! At this point, I will take legal action and file a lawsuit against Jeep!

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?

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!!!

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.

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

Central Jeep Norwood, MA refuses to accept the service contract which covers the wiper motor. The dealers mechanic also cracked my windshield. Customer service at Chrysler Headquarters says they have to go along with the dealer.

Since I purchase my 2010 Jeep Liberty, I have complained from day one about the seat in the driver side making noise and everyone kept telling me it was all in my head. It was fine. They indicated there was no noise. The noise is worse and I went to a new service department and they indicated there is a piece that is missing in the seat belt. Since it is not there, the item is not covered. Really!!! Did you ever think that maybe it wasnt there from day one?? Of course if the piece was there, it is cover but since the piece is missing they will not cover. Nice job, Chrysler.

I purchased a 2012 Jeep Patriot. It drove fine for the first 7,000 miles. From then on, I heard crunching and grinding whenever I would go over smallest bumps and speed bumps. Then, I brought it to the dealer. It was my struts and control arm. I do all highway mileage. At 11k, I feel a shake and wobble in front end. I brought it to dealer at least 10 times and complain to Chrysler that the dealer says they acknowledge an issue but cant figure it out. I am angry. I have a huge blowout on highway with my two young babies. I did not even hit anything and this is at 21k. They open a star case on it and some technician says its my axles. They are blown. I spent $400 on new tires and several trips to dealer wasting my time, and drove it 11k+ before they fixed it. It was fine for maybe a month plus, but now I hear grinding and clanking, also something loose. Plus the set button does not work sometimes on steering column. Very sluggish pick up during acceleration, hesitates when accelerating. I had to have power steering pump and serpentine pulley replaced at 20k. I HATE THIS JEEP and biggest mistake in my life. Now I am out of warranty slightly and I have to pay for it. I will NEVER buy anything American made vehicle again. Poorly made and very cheap. Worst choice I could have made buying a BRAND NEW VEHICLE.

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.

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.

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!

Do not buy a Compass. 2.4 litre motor burns 1qt of oil per 2000 miles and that meets Jeeps criteria for a good motor. Back up camera worthless if car driven on other than dry pavement and no back up sensors. Gears 8 & 9 will not maintain speed even on flat roads. Rear window defroster fails to clear window as melt builds up on the wiper making it worthless. Snow slush and mud build up on the tire causing all wheels to become unbalanced. Who pays for a at of oil every 2000 miles and why isnt that fact listed in specs? My second Jeep - first and last. What car would you buy knowing itll use a at of oil every 2000 miles? No support from Jeep and a sad sad car the Compass is.

I have a 2012 Jeep Rubicon that is sitting under a tarp at the dealership I purchased it from, waiting for a replacement cylinder head. Apparently, this is a known issue to Chrysler and instead of contacting owners to replace the heads, they are riding it out to see who all complains about it. Well, mine has cracked and two weeks later still no cylinder head. I opened a case with Chrysler Jeep customer care and have a case number. Finally, I talked to my case manager after four days of calling and he tells me it will be another week before the dealership even gets the new one and refuses to escalate my complaint higher. I have a $38,000 vehicle and I cant drive it. What am I driving? A Ford Focus. Really? Not even comparable. Beyond angry.

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.

The window regulators keep breaking in my 2006 Jeep Liberty. I am now out $450.00 and I am being inconvenienced everytime they break.

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!

Worst buying experience I have ever had. Purchased a new 2017 Jeep Wrangler in April 2017 and it had been in the shop for the same problem. Jeep customer service keep promising they would take care of the matter. To call them when I was at the service department. I did and all I did was waste my time. They did nothing. I was awarded a buyback/repurchase lemon law. Customer service has been no help to me either and 2 months later Im still awaiting for this to be settled. They do not stand behind their product and their customer service is lacking.

My Limited Jeep Liberty 2004 revs up when at a stop, particularly at stop signs and stop lights. This seems to be a problem with many jeeps after doing some search on the internet. The revving up has been getting worse.In addition, I just realized that I paid for the replacement of bad ball joints on my car soon after I purchased it from Diamond Dodge Jeep Chrysler in Flagstaff, AZ. Unfortunately, I have no clue about cars and I was told that I needed a replacement which cost close to $1,000 and only later, much later to find out that I had replaced and paid for something that there was a recall for. I took it back to the same dealership for the recall and they never once told me that they were going to refund me for the $1.000. I know I sound very dumb that I went along with the mechanic when they told me that my car needed two new ball joints and then later took it back in for a recall and only now finding out that they were the same issue. The terrible part is that I got it both done at the same dealership that I bought my car from and they did not tell me that they had the ball joints fixed already and that they would refund me my $1,000, instead, they told me they replaced the ball joints after they already had fixed it. Unfortunately, I cant do anything about it now as Ive noticed that that dealership no longer exists, probably because they were up to no good.Is there anything I can do or anything you would recommend to me to do for both of my issues above?

I bought a New Jeep Grand Latitude and at 295 miles two weeks to the day after I brought It home the transmission went. The Jeep Service said that it needs to have the transmission replaced. Chrysler will pay with the warranty but I was told this repair will greatly reduce the trade in value of the vehicle. I havent even made the first payment yet! I dont want that Jeep. I will take a new one or nothing. Chrysler so far said no. How do I get outta this?! I dont want a Jeep thats value has been reduced through no fault of my own. The vehicle has other issues that I reported the day after I bought it. Service at Bedards said cant be anything wrong because its new.

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 my Jeep back at the end of August. Off and on, a “electronic stability control service” light would come on. I took it into the dealership and it was diagnosed as a vacuum leak. However, the part they needed was backordered and they didn’t know when they would get it. Although still running and driveable, they could not release it back to me for safety. Since it was under warranty, I was able to get a rental, but only for five days. Only could customer care extend that time period. I waited it out as long as possible driving the wife’s car until it became an issue. I called customer care to make sure I could get the extension and was told a case manager would call me back. 3 weeks later and numerous phone calls, still not a word from customer care. Returned the rental and had to pay the majority out of pocket. Still no Jeep and customer care is silent. Now stuck with a rental car bill for a month old vehicle under warranty with 1,000 miles. I call B/S on that one. I’m pretty sure I’ll be trading in my Jeep if I ever see it again. These guys have terrible customer service and done paying for it.

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

The stalling turned out to be intended functionality. It is a feature of the economy mode designed to conserve fuel. This feature can be turned off, but I feel that it would be better as a selectable option and not default.The acceleration performance was improved via a transmission controller software update.

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

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

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.

After the hitch recall was conducted I have lost capabilities of my vehicle due to the manufacturer (JEEP). I bought a 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD delivered by Jeep with a trailer hitch and wiring. The tow rating of 5000lbs was the only reason the jeep was purchased with the benefit of a diesel engine for better mpg. I was informed by mail a recall was necessary to prevent damage to the fuel tank and fire in case of an accident. When I asked the service manager at Ourisman Jeep in Clarksville, MD, I was told the N46 recall consisted of an inspection of the installed hitch and a possible replacement hitch if the original failed inspection. I was told there should be no other issues. When I got the Jeep back, I was told the hitch was replaced and I was good to go. While waiting on the Jeep, I read the paperwork which stated my vehicle did not come equipped for towing (it did come equipped for towing) and that I could not tow with the hitch that was now installed. I asked about this and was told by the service manager at Ourisman it was just legalese to cover their butt and not to worry, tow as before. I became concerned as I use the Jeep regularly to tow and have not used it since as I am concerned if the tow hitch Ourisman installed fails I will be held liable as Jeep says I cannot tow in the paperwork. I emailed jeep and received the following: Thank you for contacting the Jeep Customer Assistance Center. We regret to learn of your concerns regarding the ability to tow with this new hitch. We regret to inform you that we are unable to diagnose or advise if your vehicle is safe regarding if you can tow with this new trailer hitch that was installed. There are too many variables involved and a detailed inspection of your vehicle is required for proper diagnosis. If you choose to use the new hitch for towing, you are responsible for any damage it may or may not cause.Based on that I wrote back asking why I went from a vehicle that could tow to one that couldnt and why it wasnt mentioned previously. The response was: We reviewed your concerns further in regards to obtain further clarification on if you are able to tow with this new hitch. FCA US LLC and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have agreed on this repair action. The repair procedure set out by FCA US LLC meets these requirements that were set out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The trailer-hitch assemblies installed as part of this campaign are intended only to provide rear structural reinforcement. Hitch-balls were not to be installed and customers are not advised to operate their vehicles with exposed hitch-balls. We apologize this information does not assist you with your concerns; however, we must stand behind our decision to advise you not to tow with this hitch.I am unsure who else to actually contact as the manufacturer and the dealer have now basically stolen from me the only reason I own the vehicle. I also dont understand how they would replace a hitch when I told them I use it for towing and later say it wasnt their call. I did email the BBB, they should respond in 30 days. I contacted NHTSA and received this in response: Thank you for contacting the U.S. Department of Transportations Vehicle Safety Hotline Information Center. For recall inquiries on your specific vehicle, safety seat, or other equipment please contact the manufacturer. We hope that you find this information helpful. However, if you need additional information on our services please feel free to contact us at 1-888-327-4236.I started out just wanting the jeep back to where I can tow. But since Jeep refuses and is saying that it was approved by NHTSA to get lost or at least thats what the last email from Jeep seems to say, I dont want it anymore as I cant use it. Now I think based on the paperwork I likely cant even sell the jeep to anyone planning to tow as even though it was rated to tow it now has paperwork saying not to. And even had Jeep offered to buy it back and give credit toward buying another Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge I wont. I wont buy another Chrysler product after this. This has completely turned me off the Company, even though I have been a lifelong Mopar Enthusiast, having owned a 68 Roadrunner, 87 Ram and a 2002 Quad Cab Dakota that was one of my previous tow vehicles. So now I have to begin a search for another vehicle that meets the need the Liberty was filling so I can have a vehicle to tow with; the ideal being a small 4x4 with a tow capacity of at least 5000lbs. And find a way to sell or trade the Jeep as I cannot justify continuing making payments on a vehicle I cannot use due to the fast one pulled by Jeep.

Do Not Buy a Jeep! I purchased a 2014 Jeep patriot about three months ago. There is a problem with the brakes. When you apply the brakes they squeal. The dealership told me that Jeep changed the composition of the brake pads to a less expensive material. This stuff makes terrible noise. It wakes up the neighborhood when I go to work in the morning. You cant take this Jeep to any place to go hunting. You can pull into or out of a parking lot without people noticing the poor quality of the vehicle. Most people believe that I am not maintaining the car. It has less than 10,000 miles on it. I took it in once and complained. They changed out one set of pads. Now the other side is making noise. Driving this vehicle is very embarrassing. I dont want the Jeep anymore. The old expression was that is a hulk of junk, now my expression is that is a hulk of jeep junk. Buy a Ford.

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...

Jeep Wrangler CRD 2008 - Its a great car... On 30,000 I had to change leaking power steering hose which appear to be mission impossible for Jeep Service department in Brisbane and finally private mob make a new hose for this 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. Is somebody from Jeep will stand up and take the bullet?

I bought a lemon! I am so disappointed in Jeep. I dont know where to start. This SUV is costing me more than a mortgage payment. I take very good care of this car, and in return, it kills me! I have 49,000 miles on this 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the air conditioning went out in 2009. The cooling pump went out last month, and now, the ignition is gone! I need a phone number to someone who can help me. Im dumping this heap of crap and going back to Honda. I saved forever to get the car of my dreams. Now, its nothing but a nightmare! Anyone have 1,220 bucks to pay for the latest repair? Youre killing me! Please, give me a number! This car was bought at Global Auto Mall in North, Plainfield, NJ.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 2008 Paint Peeling - The paint has hundreds of tiny cracks. The cracks turn into blisters and break then rust. The car is in great condition with 65k miles. This is a manufacturer defect. I will add pictures soon.

I am very disappointed in my purchase of a 2004 Jeep Liberty. After only 9 months, the engine and transmission went completely out. First, I had seals on the crankshaft start leaking and lots of noises from the tranny. Then all at once, the Jeep stopped working. I had it towed to a Jeep dealer here in Salt Lake City, and I was told it would cost me $4600.00 to have it repaired. Now, I read on Consumers Report that the Jeep Liberty is a death trap. From all the complaints, I think we should all get together and file a class action lawsuit against Jeep/Chrysler and get our monies back.

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

Roof Side Rails Ripped off. I had one surfboard on the rack. Mounted in the correct upside down position. I was driving appx 65-70mph and side rails ripped out of the sheet metal in the roof. Luckily no one was hurt. My $1700 board was demolished. This is unacceptable.

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 was purchased in Utah where I have had nothing but problems from the beginning. It started with bad tire pressure sensor, then rear plastic window cracked, which is cracking again. Then a water leak started on soft top, which I have been to the dealer at least six times for them to replace seals and it still leaks worse today. Then the complete clutch and clutch release bearing went bad at 20,000 miles, which started to make noise again two months later and is going out again. Then the A/C didnt work, half doors flex out a half inch while driving on the freeway. They said it is normal. Then the front end rattles, the tailgate rattles loud and the traction control goes off for no reason on dry pavement, which makes the gas pedal unresponsive. It happened five times, then it knocks and pings abnormally, burns a quart of oil every 3000 miles. The brake pedal clicks, then the rear brake pads completely wear out while the same time, the front brake pads have no wear at all. Then the zipper on the window doesnt work, stereo speakers make loud popping noise. Most of all these defects still are happening. The answer I got from traction control malfunction was lifes a risk. The answer I got for the front end noise was turn your radio up. I have never had such a bad experience with a vehicle or unprofessional dealers in my life. I also want to mention how much of my time is spent at the dealer trying to get them to help me. I bought this vehicle brand new and I feel like I have been robbed.

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?

I own a 2015 Renegade with 47k miles and it has been in the shop three times in the last 45 days. It is currently in the shop now going on 31 day and it is still not fixed. It is have a power and drive issues that they have pointed at electrical as the main issue. I have opened a case with Jeep Corp and they have not done anything to assist the dealership and the case manager David and his manager Samantha have done nothing but hang up on me and not give a ** about me the customer. I have made two payments for a car that I can’t even drive and they won’t give me a loaner for more than the first 10 days. I am screaming at the top of my lungs get off your ** and send or get the right person on the phone with the dealership to fix my Jeep. If anyone wants to get any further info and you are from Jeep call Xtreme Dodge in Jackson Michigan and they will know my case.

I engaged the 4 wheel drive on my 05 Jeep Liberty Sport edition, which is an automatic, and now, while in 2 Hi, the Part Time indicator light is on, albeit the vehicle is obviously in 2 wheel drive, I can tell it is no longer in 4 Hi or 4 Lo. And when I engage 4 Hi or 4 Lo, the indicator turns off. Any ideas what the issue might be? Is it the Powertrain Control Module? Is it the Transfer Case Position Sensor, or harness? And can I work on it from underneath the vehicle? I have done my research both locally and online, and I have found multiple forums with patrons posing the same problem I have.

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

To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing this letter to voice our frustrations with the Jeep brand, and express our concerns for other owners of the 2013-present day Jeep Cherokee. In July of 2017, my now fiancé purchased a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4x4 from Ramsey Motors in Riverside, MO. The vehicle at the time had roughly 24, ** miles, it was a one owner vehicle originally purchased new from Gladstone DCJ & R in 2015.On approximately June 18th-19th, the car would not start for my fiancé to make her commute to work. She found a ride, and I had MOPAR roadside assistance tow the vehicle to Stateline CDJ&R of Kansas City for diagnosis. On June 21th, a representative of Stateline called to tell me a PRNDL switch was the root of our issue and quoted me to replace. I protested, believing the issue to be caused by a failing alternator, however being ”highly qualified technicians” I agreed, and Stateline followed through with the service. We picked the car up from Stateline on 6/29/18.The morning on 6/30/18 (yes the next day!) the car failed to start at a gas station in Pittsburg, KS, I instructed my fiancé to take the vehicle to Jay Hatfield DCJ&R in Frontenac, KS. A diagnosis by the service tech that day suggested… a failing alternator! Jay Hatfield apologized for the Stateline’s mistake, quoted me to repair, and promised the car returned to us by the end of the following week.The next few days were spent communicating with and agreeing to a 50% refund of our service fees done by Stateline, we picked the vehicle back up from Jay Hatfield on 7/6/18, I replaced the battery as a precaution the next day. 19 days, 2 dealerships, over $1,500.00 out of pocket, we finally had our vehicle back and felt comfortable with it again. How wrong was I!In early September, the vehicle failed to start on several occasions. Being that Jay Hatfield last had their hands on it, and frankly I found them to be honest and straightforward gentlemen, we made the 100 mile trip back to Jay Hatfield with the vehicle for a 2nd diagnosis. Jay Hatfield kept the vehicle for about 4 days, repeatedly stated to me the vehicle started each time they tried, and returned it to me. I felt like the boy who cried wolf! Are these service departs downright over and done with me? We’re not crazy, the vehicle is malfunctioning, we don’t drive 100 miles for a service appointment for fun & games.We made it through the next 30 days or so without an issue, until the morning of 10/10/18. While leaving a doctor’s appointment and going to work, the car died on my fiancé in traffic. A complete loss of power to the vehicle, no dash lights, no acceleration, nothing. The vehicle was pushed out of traffic, eventually regained power on its own, and driven home where now it sits dead in the driveway. Emergency lights are nice to have when a vehicle is stalled in traffic, my fiancé was not afforded this luxury!This is the final straw, it is clear as day that Chrysler/Jeep builds an inferior product, and maintains inferior means of training technicians to diagnose the very vehicles they sell to the public. The vehicle is nothing more than a $32,000 lawn ornament. Bringing me to the purpose of this letter, as stated above, we are collectively through with CDJ&R vehicles we want nothing to do with this Jeep Cherokee. I am writing with hope that somebody of purpose takes notice, and chooses to take the extra steps to address a customer’s complaint even when their technician is stumped. It is clear there is a deep electrical issue with these vehicles that needs to be investigated. A stalling vehicle in traffic, and subsequently pushing it out of traffic in the rain is a terrifying, extremely unsafe, and completely avoidable situation. I urge you all to take this into consideration when the inevitable “next one” arrives on your doorstep, hopefully that situation turns out better for the customer. If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this topic further, I can be reached via email or on my cell @ **. Thank you for your time.

We bought a jeep from Airpark Jeep in Scottsdale, AZ on October 1st 2016. Airpark finance department told us in writing that Chase Bank was our lender. We received the payment book and promptly made our first payment and set up auto payment to Chase Bank the first week of November. On November 21st, we started receiving phone calls from Ally Financial stating we missed our payment!We never received notification from Airpark that Ally held the note on our Jeep and not Chase Bank. We never received any loan payment information indicating we had a loan with Ally Financial. We did receive loan payment information from Chase bank so we promptly paid the loan. Airpark discovered there are/were two loan contracts created for our vehicle, BUT they neglected to notify us that they submitted our contract to a new lender.We continue to get daily phone calls from Ally after we escalated the calls to Allys management team where they assured us the calls would stop, and they would be working with Airpark dealerships financial department to get this straightened out ASAP. The Dealership financial management became involved after we couldnt get responses or returned calls from our finance contact person. Airpark has assured us this is being taken care of but we continue to receive harassing phone calls from Ally Financial every day! We now have to wait and field the calls and pray that this mess is cleaned up BEFORE it is submitted to the credit agencies which will destroy our credit!!!!SERIOUSLY?!? We are being harassed DAILY for something we cant control and Airpark Finance department now states it is out of their control. How did they let this happen and NOT notify their client to any changes???

Tried to stop & the jeep accelerated.

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

The Jeep Patriot Sport is not very good as to being soundproof, the lower seating panel is poor quality, broken off on driver and passenger side while getting off and onto seat, sluggish when pulling off. I would not advise friends and family to purchase this vehicle at all.

My 2007 jeep commander wants to stall when starting off. It remains locked at 35 mph, until I shift it to neutral, and back to drive. The dealer cannot find the problem. I fear that it will get me into an accident at some point.

Brand new loser cars from 1996 to 2012: Ive been a faithful customer to Chrysler vehicles for over 17 years and every product that we have purchased always resulted in having a serious problem(s). We would have the vehicle serviced and traded up and purchase a new vehicle. The trust in your car products and materials has been irretrievably shattered. I purchased a brand new 1996 Chrysler Sebring which had consistent problems, traded up, purchased a brand new 1998 Chrysler Concorde that had transmission locked up, paid the car off and purchased a 2003 fully loaded Jeep Liberty. What a travesty. Here I am again, old faithful, believing this vehicle will be different psych. With every vehicle I purchased, things never got any better, only more repair bills. Currently, Im at Russ Darrow on S. 108th Street with outrageous repair costs on my Jeep including consistent ABS brake light problems, unresolved engine light problems, replaced air compression motor & pulley drive system, belts locked up, transmission leaking, water reservoir and of course, its nobodys fault. After keeping up with all my maintenance checks on all my cars with the dealership, I still cant keep a vehicle that can run successfully past 70,000 miles before requiring major repair. This is ridiculous. At this point, I am no longer interested in purchasing another Chrysler product ever as long as I live! I will be following up with a complaint with to the BBB and anyone else that will hear my complaint.

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.

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

I bought my 2011 Jeep Liberty new which has just over 50,000 miles on it. I am a female in late 50s so no off road or rough driving. But already I had to replace a Idler pully belt and today a water pump. Not a happy camper.

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

I 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.

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.

That my 2019 went up in smoke and to this day they have no idea why and they are not investigating why it happen. Thank god I was not driving and they have the worst customer service. No one gets back to you.

Jeep Laredo 2014 4x4 - Like everyone says, Chrysler really does suck!! Transmission problems on 33k miles shifter recalls, wheel alignment shifts to the right. Transmission kick down to 50 when doing 60mph, dangerous. Chrysler will not help. They know everyone is having the same problem and their priority is to have the vehicle fixed so everyone buy one so they all sit in the shop while they get paid and we pay bs. Anyone know of a lawyer something? Its time the U.S. opens their eyes because they think they will always get away with it. Its not just one vehicle, it’s multiple vehicles. Chrysler tells you they will fix it while people are being told the same thing. Well you go ahead believe that.

For the second time in less than 2 years my rear window regulator broke. First time it cost me $350.00. Now they want another $170.00 to fix it, plus it cost me $65.00 for them to tell me what was wrong with it. I told them to tape it up and forget it. I am not working at this time and cannot afford the companys incompetence. I cannot believe that with so many complaints on this that the company has not recalled this defective component in their vehicles. Am I angry? You bet. I am looking for a different vehicle today, forget them. I loved my vehicle but cannot afford this problem every time I turn around.

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

Purchased a 2008 Jeep Patriot. Ive had it for about, oh 3 years now. After reading everyones stories, I am not sure if I want to eve go with a new vehicle, lol, only because since I have had my jeep. I have put 4 tie rod ends on this puppy as well as 4 ball joint in the last three yeas. And just yesterday, I went to pump my back tire up and I have another busted tire sensor making it the 3rd one have to replace. And now my brake drums needs replaced and check engine light has now came on. So thinking KIA is a great car, found out that will be the last car I will buy, and Ford no way Pontiacs ignition problem and Jeep Cherokee. I mean wow, at this point I think a horse would be more liable than Americas crappy cars and customer service is something else.

I bought my 2011 Jeep Liberty from CarMax in White Marsh MD. The night I took the vehicle above 50 mph the roof had a very noisy air leak. I have had the gasket replaced within the first 30 days and there was no noise until two weeks later when it came back even louder. I complained to CarMax who then told me it was a manufacturers design flaw and everyone (except me and my salesman) are aware of the sky roofs problematic history. I was told by CarMax to take it to a Jeep dealership to have them fix it because they could do no more for me. Really? I have read horror stories online since and some are paying $5,000 to repair/replace the sky roof and it still leaks. Please let me know what options are available to me. Thank you.

I have owned 3 Jeep Commanders 2006 and we have recently purchased a new Compass. I have decided to keep one of the Commanders. My family and myself have taken care of the Commanders from the beginning even though after the first year, the plastic door handles cracked and just fell out on the floor making it very hard to open the doors, were always wondering when it will quit working. At first, I believed it was some fault of ours but after three 40,000 dollar cars and they all did the same thing, I decided to keep one and went to the dealership to pay and fix my own. They quoted me a price of $550.00 a piece, which is not fair as this is the third vehicle we have had to do this. I love these SUVs, but the doorknobs and the seat belts also will not hold up making it impossible to take all the kids at once. $330.00 a piece to fix the seat belts. There is a big manufacturing problem and I would like some help as we have purchased 4 Jeeps, 3 at one time.

I was one of the very first to sign up and order an all new Jeep Gladiator Launch Edition. It has been a botched launch ever since the beginning. The website pre-order not working correctly, promised a white glove concierge experience with no contact from them, the factory pumping out Jeeps for orders that were placed months after mine, and now delivery...As I type this it sits in a lot waiting on truck to bring it two hours to the dealership..for an entire month it has been sitting there. The chat is of no help and my salesman says FCA wont let him send someone just to pick it up. Starting to wonder why I am buying this if this is how Jeep treats its customers.

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

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!
