Jeeps Stinky Plant Problem Might Be Over
Posted On: January 29, 2022
This all began last August when residents began complaining about a mysterious odor coming from the Detroit Assembly Complex - Mack, home of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L. The massive 2.5 million square foot facility has been the subject of state and federal investigations to determine the cause of the smell and how it can be permanently stopped. The Michigan Department of Environmental Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) slammed the facility's owner, Stellantis, with numerous violations for lacking proper emissions controls and air-quality permits. To its credit, the automaker fully cooperated with authorities and even hired a third-party engineering firm to investigate and draw conclusions, which were due earlier this month. Now, it seems those efforts have paid off. The Detroit News reports that air sampling done by state and federal regulators has identified no immediate health concerns. A more extensive report is expected to be released in the near future, but the big question is whether area residents, whose homes are within walking distance of the plant, will agree with the report's conclusions. Their long-term health, they claim, is at risk and they rightly want guarantees the matter has been fully resolved. In December, Stellantis began installing ducting that was previously lacking at the facility. It will also install additional emissions controls, though a permitting process with EGLE must be completed first. The Environmental Protection Agency issued its own report on the matter in November and noted that its field investigators also noticed odors while conducting sampling. The chief concern is that pollutants like hydrogen sulfide, benzene, toluene, p-xylene, and methane were being emitted at dangerously high levels. The good news is that it appears this is no longer a concern. What remains to be seen is whether residents will develop any health issues caused by the odor prior to it being stopped. Over a period of 13 days last October and November, 152 odor samples were taken from 42 different potential sources in the facility or nearby. The results clearly indicated pollutants were in the air and Stellantis had to act fast and efficiently.

To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing this letter to voice our frustrations
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.

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

The 2010 Jeep Commander had a problem with the transmission and was told it was the torque converter and was in the shop for approximately a week. It is in for a second time for the transmission and was told that it has to be rebuilt, not replaced. It has been almost 2 weeks and still no vehicle. This is our fourth vehicle from this dealer and we also have problems with our 2008 Dodge 2500 Big Horn Diesel which has been in twice for a turbo problem and still having problems. We are very unhappy and would like some sort of satisfaction. Thank you for your time.

This is the first Jeep product I have owned and so far, I am really happy with my purchase. The Jeep dealership was super. Great service and friendly staff. I can see all of my future vehicle purchases being Jeep products also. My only problem I have encountered is that my kids are way too close to me and each other. Im used to a minivan and the distance between us makes long drive a more bearable. Lol. But other than that, I like that the Jeep Renegade is at a very fair price. I also like the touchscreen stereo, which is standard in most vehicles these days but still appealing to me.

The a/c stopped working in my 12-year old Jeep. My regular mechanic couldnt figure out what the problem was, and suggested I go to a Jeep dealer who might be able to figure it out. I went to Manfredi. The staff acts like they are doing you a favor by letting you pay them a lot of money to not fix your car. Terrible customer service. They rush you in to a service rep who doesnt even bother to make eye contact. Theyll tell you they are going to call you with an estimate. Dont expect to hear from them. You have to chase them down and then they act like you are a nuisance for bothering them. They replaced the accumulator for $700 and the a/c worked for four hours. I returned the car to them on Monday, and it took them 5 days to figure out the problem was a leak in the evaporator, which they conveniently blamed on my original mechanic. They said they would fix it but it would be at least four hours labor (at $99 p/h) plus parts. Rather than put any more money into the old car, I told them I would pass on it. I now have a new accumulator that I didnt need and the a/c is still not working. No one could explain why the evaporator leak didnt show up in their original diagnostic.I thought about fighting to get the $700 back, but realized I would get nowhere. I had planned to buy a new Jeep in the fall anyway; the old one will go to my nephew. But I will never deal with Manfredi again. They can keep the $700. Ill give my $25,000+ to another Jeep dealer.

I bought a 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.

I have great experience with my Jeep Compass. Good on gas, handles well in bad weather, it is a four cylinder engine, and comfortable. Get good gas mileage and parts are fairly affordable, too. It has heated seats, also has four wheel drive, very roomy for size of vehicle, has built in CD player and design is with customer comfort in mind, overall appearance of the vehicle catches the eye and it has a smaller engine which is fuel economy but has the power to get thru anything. However, the Jeep should have a bigger trunk or storage area or should come with a compartment on top of rack for better storage of road side equipment and car maintenance.

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.

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

If I ever have to buy another car I will be sure to get another Jeep Commander.

I purchased 3 new 2005 Liberty from 2 different dealers at the same time. As the single owners and used in our business, they are on the road 24/7 and are now at 200,000-250,000 miles. From day one, we have complained to the local dealer to no avail, who blew it off and never made any reports. When filling the tanks with gas on each Liberty, they spill over every time before the gas hose nozzle shuts off. It does not matter what gas station you go to. They all do the same spill over down the side of the car and onto the rear left wheels.The issue is none of our other cars do that. Fire is a real danger each time. We have to guess at about how much to fill the tank so it does not come up the next so fast before the pump can shut off. We operate several other cars at the time and have no problems with the auto shut off. We perceive the gas tank neck is too short or fills too fast trigger the shut off at the pump. There must be a design defect that spills gas over the fender about a pint each time you try to fill the tank at the full level. All 3 Jeeps do the same scenario. Its a 2005 design defect. A real safety hazard exists.

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!!!!

In 2012 my air condition went out on my 2007 Jeep Liberty. I paid $1,100 for the dealership to replace it. In 2013, one month after my warranty on the compressor, it went out again. I took it back to the dealership who replaced the dryer, but the mechanic said I needed another compressor. They said this time it would cost another $1300. The compressor lasted the rest of the summer, but this year it has stopped functioning again. I cannot afford to replace the compressor each year! I am now driving my Jeep Liberty without air conditioning. I feel the company and dealership has taking advantage of me because I am a woman and my lack of mechanical knowledge.

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

I purchased my 2007 Liberty used in 2009. I immediately began having trouble with the windows. The mechanisms were faulty and all the windows fell, one by one! Although the warranty had ran out, Chrysler replaced all four. Now, its the air compressor! They said the compressor, dryer and lines all need replacing which is going to cost an outrageous $1,100.00! Ugh! I will have to get a loan in order to pay them for the work they are supposed to be doing, which has not been done after a week in the shop. I waited a week, called and checked on my Liberty. Well, now they cant find the parts! All the dealer’s list has having them on their shelves, but they actually dont. This past February, I actually thought about trading it in on a new Honda Civic. Yes, I am feeling a hard kick in the backside right now for not doing it. Let this be a warning to all those that are looking to go with a Chrysler product. Buyers beware!

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

I purchased a 2014 Jeep Patriot new in July of 2014. In August I had to take it back in because the hood was lifting up and looked as if it were going to come off at freeway speeds. The windshield wiper smart switch also quit working. I was told that the hinges on the hood werent very secure by design at the dealer but they replaced them anyway and it still wobbles going down the freeway and they replaced the smart switch. On November 21st I took it in again because there was a grinding noise coming from the front end. The dealer informed me that I had a defective transmission and they had to order one. On November 24th I took it back to have the new transmission put in and was told that it would be done on the 25th. When I called on the 25th they told me that the mechanic had stripped out the threads on a mounting bolt and had to put a heli-coil in it and it wouldnt be done until the 26th. I called on the 26th and they told me that one of the front drive axles was also defective and they had to order one. They were closed for Thanksgiving on the 27th so I called on the 28th and was told that the part was not in yet. It is now December 2nd and I still do not have a vehicle which I need to do my job so I have not been able to work for over a week!

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

I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty with a 3.7 engine. Last month, I had to put in over 1800.00 in engine repair because of carbon build up on the cylinders and valves. Since the time of this repair, I have been digging into this issue and have found out that Jeep is aware of this problem but has chosen not to address it. Searching the internet has produced numerous instances of the same issue I am having. I have also talked with the people at the local Jeep dealership.

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.

The trim around the windshield of my Patriot does not lay flat. It looks like it should be tucked into the groove at the tops of the windshield on both sides. It sticks up and causes a whistling sound. I have had the service department look at it and was told that theyre all like that. I have contacted Chrysler Customer Service and also was told that there is nothing they can do because it is not a design flaw because they are all like that. Also the trim along the roof on the passenger side was warped. When they tried to replace it, they discovered that the body under the trim was all jagged so I had to take it to a bodyshop to have that repaired. My salesman admitted that the trim is wrong and offered to glue it down.

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

When I bought this car, nobody told me if I don’t regularly drive long distance on the freeway the soot level will build up and the car breaks down and needs to be towed in for service. My commute is only 5 minutes so I don’t have any need to drive long distances over 60 mph as the car required. I have had it break down three times since 2015. Jeep is very clever at dodging my calls and I can’t get anywhere with them. They have about the worst customer service I’ve ever seen. I’ve been told now three years later the car is not a good match for my driving habits and I have to sell. The value has dropped 23k in the three years I’ve had it. I’ll never buy a Jeep again!

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.

Bought it new from Lester Glenn, Toms River NJ, paid 42k. Was originally offered a year of free oil changes in writing, they never honored them - too much hassle so I just do it myself. Constantly receiving recall notices since 8 months after purchase and to this day (10/2016), Schedule with Cherry Hill Triplex to perform said recalls on several occasions - take off from work and then they tell me they dont have the parts and to keep calling them like its my responsibility?? This has happened twice so far.Third time they actually repaired the visor recalled due to possible fire damage. Tried to get leather dash fixed, scheduled a time, took a day off, got there and they said warranty guy was off today, eventually got there when he was in and he look at the dash issues bubbling - signs of peeling with around 20k miles on it, they said it wasnt covered and never even documented the visit. So now I have only 27k miles but exceeded the three year limit so Jeep Corporate says they would have covered it under warranty but not now, they offered a friendly, Well pay the labor. You pay towards the dash @ $800 or something. I spent like 12k extra for all the fancy leather & gadgets and it wont even last 4 years.

Bought the car in 2003, a year old. I wanted a good road car for work and a Jeep for weekends. This car was and is both. Very little trouble. 160,000 miles on original motor and transmission. A few minor problems but overall a great car. Really a great highway car and also great for camping. If the weather is really bad the dog and I can sleep in the back. I am writing because I see that Land Rover has a line of dog accessories. I rescue old, sick dogs, no one else wants. They are nice dogs and we have a good time. As they get old it gets harder for them to get in the Jeep. I cannot find a ramp that they like. I put cheap AstroTurf in the back and would not mind buying a mat that fit. I guess that is it. Happy customer.

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

I bought a 2016 Jeep Patriot a year ago this month. Since the day we drove it off of the lot the XM Satellite Radio has not worked properly. It loses the signal every 1/2 mile or so and fades in and out constantly while driving, and it doesnt matter if were in town or out in the middle of nowhere. I have complained and had it in the shop repeatedly for this problem and all I ever get is lied to and called a liar because they cant duplicate the problem, even though Ive shown them no less than four videos of the radio losing its signal. My wife finally took the service manager at our dealership on a ride-along and proved to him that the radio is a piece of junk, to which he agreed. Corporate still WILL NOT REPLACE THE RADIO with one that actually WORKS.Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram SUCKS! I have own three brand new Hyundais, all with XM, and NOT ONE SINGLE PROBLEM, EVER! We have a so-called Case Manager from Uconnect who is about as worthless as ** on a boar hog. He whines that hes not authorized to have the radio replaced. Then why has he been wasting my time, dragging me down to the dealership time and again only to be told Im a liar and they cant help me. I may have an arbitration agreement that I was forced to sign, but it only precludes class-action suits. Im getting my own lawyer and I am going to sue Jeep under Nevadas Lemon Law. And its going to cost them a whole lot more than a radio by the time its over. Also, I will NEVER buy another Jeep, or anything else this fly-by-night outfit makes. Screw buying American, Im going back to the Koreans for my next ride.

When I called to make an appointment they told me I had to wait a week for a diagnostic appointment that will cost me $105 and take 24-48 hours. They will not offer me a loaner or rental even though it is a manufacturer malfunction. Then, if they determine that it is covered under warranty their engine technician is backed up for 3-4 weeks. Meanwhile Im scared that my engine will catch on fire because I can smell the oil burning while I drive!!! Ive decide to take it to the mechanic and pay for the repair myself. This is ridiculous.

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

I 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.

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

At least 10 years have gone by with continual complaints about a well known, costly repair for failure of blend doors in heating and cooling blower and failing window motors. At what point does JEEP repair this problem. The piece of equipment used is junk and this is well known and has not been resolved in way too many years. For a part that couldnt cost more than $10 to add to these areas to resolve the problem, this is very sad that they would not fix this and add cost of part to price of car instead of owners having to replace this part that has been known for failure and costing on average $700-$1200 to pull dash to fix blend doors and window motors are min of $50 with you fixing yourself, times the number of them that fail, and all will eventually on power windows. The pieces of cheap plastic used in these areas should be a liability for the manufacturer and they should have been forced to recall these vehicles for this constant repeat, year after year manufacturing of a defective part not intentioned to last.

Very easy to drive and use all of the options. It is sure footed in poor road conditions and easy to drive in traffic. This is the ultimate sleeper vehicle.

The worse part comes March 2019 when I started to experience death wobble. Violent shaking of steering and the front end goes crazy after you hit any imperfection. This is on a stock vehicle.They put a steering damper on it. Was told this is a band aid fix but I figured for the motor trend suv of the year the dealer knows what they are doing. Nope. Having the same issue. This time going 70 mph on the highway with my kids in the car. Almost had an accident. What does Jeep wanna do? Put another steering damper on it.

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

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

I 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.

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

I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty and I was having problems with top and bottom balljoints. On the internet I saw there was a recall on them. When the dealership who said there was a recall tried to order them, they still never came in because the dealership cant seem to get them in. My son had to change them because they were so bad. We couldnt wait for them or I would have had an accident. When I got hold of them at the corporate office, all they did was lie. They said that they were changed in 2006. Does anybody see anything wrong with that? Since when do the top and bottom ball joints go out in less than 6 years? They also said there wasnt a recall. They just wont own up to their mistakes. I am not at all happy with Chrysler. They should pay for the ball joints, not me.

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.

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

I bought my 2013 Jeep Patriot about 5 months ago. I loved it up until about 10K miles when I first started having problems. It has the CVT style transmission in it, and has now overheated and left me on the side of the road 4 times now. This latest time I sat on the side of the road for 21/2 hours in a remote area where I had no cell service. I have determined that it happens just about every time the temp is over 90 degrees outside - happens frequently in southern Louisiana and I have sustained between 70-75 miles an hour for more than 1 hour - I commute 1-1/2 hours each way as I live in Mississippi, and the majority of the highway speeds between here and there are 70 mph. I have been fighting with Chrysler for almost 2 months now. I was ecstatic when I got a call from corporate last Friday telling me they would be happy to buy back OR trade-in my vehicle. Now the corporate guy here is telling me they absolutely will not buy-back my vehicle, they will only trade. I have been unable to find another Chrysler vehicle in my price range that suits my needs since it must be MSRP to MSRP. I am still actively fighting, and considering getting a lawyer at this point.

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

The dealership (Suncoast located in Florida) and manufacturer will not help with the repairs. How can the same thing malfunction 4 times? How could they not help with the repairs of a part that has malfunctioned 4 times? I was sold a lemon! And will never purchase another Jeep again.

Purchased 2014 (new) Jeep Patriot from Nielsen Jeep/Dodge in East Hanover NJ Route 10. Computer on vehicle failed twice costing us hundreds in rental car fees as well as the inconvenience. The dealer does not cover the rental car and each time we drop the car off we have to wait almost a week before they will even look at it. We are also forced to pay an initial fee to determine that it is in fact a warranty issue. The computer is covered, but not the initial evaluation fee or the rental cars. I would think Nielsen/Chrysler would stand behind their product. We now have a car that is unreliable and we dont know where to turn. Is the computer going to fail again and strand us on a dark road in the middle of nowhere?

I used to own a 2010 Jeep Patriot. I have driven Jeep for 21 years until today, 12/8/14. The vehicle in question was not paid off and not even five years old. Both ball joints went bad in the vehicle and had to be replaced. This is unacceptable for a vehicle this young. The first ball joint was fixed under warranty. The second ball joint went bad not even a full year later. I contacted Jeep about the issue and faxed them all of my paperwork from my mechanic. I was then strung along for over two months and finally got an answer that they would not reimburse me the part and labor for putting in the other ball joint. The customer service representative that handled my case I found to be condescending and aloof. So for Jeep to save a couple of hundred dollars they are willing to let a customer go who was willing to stick with Jeep for life. I figure within my lifetime I would have bought at least five more vehicles from Jeep. Well no more. I have formally broken my relationship with the brand and went with a Japanese competitor. To anyone who reads this stay away from Jeep because they do not take care of loyal customers! I do not want to see any other families spend hard earned money on a product that breaks and is unreliable as the Jeep Patriot.

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

While driving down the freeway in the left lane, about to pass a tractor/trailer and another vehicle plus a tractor/trailer directly behind me, my 05 Jeep Liberty suddenly fully accelerated. As soon as I passed the T/T, I cut to the right and on to the shoulder of the road while breaking and turned off the key. Once my heart stopped racing, I turned the key to the on position and noticed a new warning light. The Electronic Throttle Control according to my owners manual. After about 5-10 minutes, I tried starting it again but it immediately started revving into the stratosphere, so I shut it off and called a tow truck. The next day, my husband went out and it started up fine but he isnt going to run it until its fixed.

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

Daughter was in an accident where she said that she gave the Liberty a little gas and it jumped forward. She rear ended a Saturn. She hadnt driven the vehicle much since she was only 16 at the time and I put it off as inexperience. We had a gas cap error appear on the information center and after 2 trips to the dealership, they found out that a hose had a hole worn into it by the wiring loom. I sealed the hole temporarily and cleared the error code. I noticed that when I revved the engine and held at a constant RPM of 2000, it would rev to 3000 RPM and fall to 1000 RPM without any fluctuation of pressure on the gas pedal. When I revved it to 2000 RPM, again it went back up to 3000 and I removed my foot... it did not quit revving. I turned the Liberty off and took the seal off the hose. Same revving pattern. Took to Landers McLarty in Bessemer and the service manager is now aware of the issue. STAR(?) ticket is to be opened with Chrysler.

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

While backing out of my usual parking space at the usual cautious pace, as I placed my foot on the brake, the Jeep (V8) suddenly chirped all four tires. Fortunately, I reacted by undoing what I just did, removed brake pressure (scary), then moved my foot left back onto the brake and stopped the vehicle. So, Ive advised my wife to not drive the Jeep, and if any car suddenly accelerates, remove your foot and quickly replace it properly on the brake. Also, I advised her to slap the shifter into neutral and turn off the key. Remember, the Audi story years ago (we had one). The same situation happened. I got my foot partly on both the brake and accelerator and it chirped the front tires. In both cases when accelerating, there is less vacuum pressure due to the wide open throttle, so brake force is reduced, requiring many more pounds of force to stop. So, we need to remind our families that its easy to do, and be ready to in due what you just did. By the way, now my Jeep lift gate is dented from car wash guys pushing the car from the wash line.

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.

Jeep does not takes care of their customer in all fairness. I purchase a 2016 Jeep Renegade Latitude back in November 2016 at Suresky in Goshen NY. In the beginning of 2018 I started getting an issue with my car. I had oil consumption issue. Engine light would come on and the car would feel like as if it’s going to shutdown. Every time I would take to get my oil change, the mechanic would tell me that I have barely have any oil. So I took it to where I purchase the car and explained to them that my issues are with my car. So they did their inspection and testing and at the end they told me that the oil consumption was normal. Mind you I had 45,995 miles and still under warranty. April 29 2019 my car started blowing white smoke out of my tailpipe. Was unable to drive the vehicle home. Following day I took it to the nearest Jeep dealer around my job Croton Auto Park, Croton on Hudson, NY. They did a diagnostic and found #3 cylinder misfires, all my spark plugs are full of oil, a piece of spark plug was found inside the engine and a piece of the piston was to found inside the engine. I called the Jeep FCA opened a case. One of the representatives that helped me open my case told me that my issue with my car was common. She has handled a few of the same issues. The service Manager at the Croton Auto Park also told me that these are very common with the model of my car. I was told that to fix the car it would cost $12,000.00 and the Jeep were only willing to pay $8000 and I have to come up with the other $4000 out of pocket. Now I am 67,000 miles (7000) over the warranty and was told that this is their last offer. I believe that I should not have to pay for any of this because if this was addressed when I brought it in the day that I was still covered under warranty and below the mileage I wouldn’t need to pay anything. This is a manufacture defect. A 2 1/2 year old car having this kind of issues is unheard of. I provided proof of maintenance records. I am a loyal customer with Jeep. I had a 2003 and 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2016 Jeep Wrangler and now 2018 Jeep Renegade Latitude. I have never had a bad experience with Jeep till now. This is the worst experience I ever had. I am going to continue to post all this in all social media until I am heard and acknowledge.

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!

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

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

I was very disappointed cause my Jeep needs a new engine. It has a blown head gasket after 3 months of me owning it and the seller cut the 4 wheel drive shaft out. I wish I could have brought it to a garage to have it looked over cause then I would have had the opportunity to say no or gotten it cheaper or had the seller fix it. He just plainly ripped me off for like 2000. Its just not worth putting that kind of money in it. I also didnt like the center console. It has the window controls there instead of by the window like on the door panel. Even so, I liked the fact that it was an SUV but wasnt huge. It had plenty of space and seemed to have run great. Was also pretty easy to work on and maintain but I didnt really get to drive it all that much.

No wonder used Jeeps are being sold just under the warranty expiration for such a cheap price! GOOGLE any used Jeep and youll think youre getting a deal. Bought this vehicle from Duluth Dodge Chrysler, it was a 2014 used with 29,000 on it. It seemed to start to have odometer issues and so the odometer was replaced under warranty. It would reset miles traveled so I couldnt get exact mileage on it. I hadnt problems with it until it hit 87,000 miles, and suddenly an obscure diagnosis from the dealership, considering, Jeep and most Chrysler products have had this problem for years. First the ETC (throttle control light flashed) while traveling 30 mph uphill and then car sputtered and almost stalled out. Situation didnt happen again for another week, just after having new brakes, and rotors on the rear. The brakes didnt wear evenly either, but not much of a concern over that at the moment, considering the car is now undrivable.While leaving a parking garage, the attendant left the vehicle run, and when I got inside, the ETC, the Engine Light, and ESC lights stayed on. Car, stalled, I followed directions by shutting car off according to the owners manual (which is a dead giveaway Chrysler has seen this issue before) -- however, I had to inch my way home with several stops, stalls, and at one point the car jumped while I had my foot on the brake at a stoplight nearly hitting a pedestrian, because it idled so high, the entire instrument panel lit up like a Xmas tree. It just went to the dealership which I could only afford a one hour scan $220 bucks to have them say it must be an electrical issue and they had all kinds of codes come up.I mentioned to them that this issue is fairly common with Jeeps but again, they are covering their ears and perhaps its a problem they cannot fix because they have no idea how to repair it. They called and said, theyd like to see if they can save me money and perform some type of pigging back wire connection to the throttle. They said it was the throttle that wasnt getting enough juice, but there must be a short somewhere, but it could get expensive trying to find it, so here was their short-cut alternative.Ive read other posts here about the wires shorting out because theyre too close to the camshaft or catalytic converter... I wouldnt know -- but I do know that Chrysler has been STALLING ON A RECALL for this problem for years. Had this happened on the highway and if it happens on the highway, somebody could get killed, and Im sure theres been a few that have. Chrysler needs to have a class action lawsuit brought against them. This is a life and death situation that doesnt have to happen.

Jeep should be absolutely shamed of themselves. I too am having problems with the window regulators on my 2007 jeep liberty. Now, the drivers window has to be helped to rise out of the door as you push on the button. How can they continue to have a deaf ear. Im telling everyone that is thinking of buying one about my experiences.

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

I bought this car brand new and have now had it for 2 years. It has been the worst car I have ever had in my life. The windshield is a magnet for chips and you can tell that it is bad quality, have had two chips and one crack already driving on paved roads. The paint is also cheap as it chips very easily with normal driving. And the biggest issue other than all the recalls, is that my car takes the most expensive oil which is full synthetic and for some reason it is empty at 3,000 miles. Have taken it to the dealer and even called Jeep and nobody seems to be able to fix the issue. They just tell me to keep adding oil because these cars are notorious for doing that.It is a safety issue because the car stalls while driving since it is constantly running out of oil, but neither the dealers or jeep seem to care. Thats not to mention all the problems I had with the radio trying to get Android Auto to work properly, jeep kept telling me that the problem was I needed new usb cable but in the end I found out on my own that the actual problem were the apps on the radio. Basically jeep never has answers to anything, you have to figure it out on your own like you are the one getting paid to do the job. Best thing I can do now is get rid of this jeep and never do business with them again.

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

I bought a 2008 Jeep Liberty. I purchased it off of the used car lot, however, it only had approximately 3,000 miles on it and had never been previously owned. I have been having problems with my drivers side window not being able to go down most of the time. Although when I did get it down, it would always go up. Finally, it stopped altogether and the switch actually broke off completely. I spoke with a person at a Jeep dealership about this. He quoted me a price for the part then let me speak with the labor department. When I spoke with them regarding the labor, the man did not have to look up the price. He knew right away down to dollars and cents. After reading about the same problem over and over, it seems like this is obviously a defect on Chryslers part and this needs to be recalled.

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!

Sometimes my Jeep Liberty 05 will stall while Im driving, many time when Im making a turn! This is so scary that I stopped driving it when its raining, because thats usually when it happens. I called Chrysler and they said its my responsibility to maintain my vehicle. We have 4 and the jeep is the only one that malfunctions. Theyll have a huge lawsuit on their hands, or they could just fix the issue with all jeeps. There are thousands of complaints online about this issue and something needs to be done about it or someone will get killed driving their jeep! My daughter drives it sometimes and it scares her too! Ill never own another jeep!

I have a 2011 Jeep Compass with 2.4 liter engine. The vehicle has 500 miles and we are only getting 7-10 miles/gallons in the city. I cannot get any assistance from the dealership. They just tell me to wait until summer and see if it improves. Anybody have some of the same problems?

I bought a Jeep Commander three years ago at this dealership. While it had a current inspection, the tires needed to be replaced immediately. The airbag light has been on since I bought the car. The heating system (and cooling) does not shut off. I was told when I bought it that the heating system was fine.There are no lights on the dash for the heating/cooling system. Now the transmission is acting up. The tack will go very high as it gets stuck in low gear. When I stop the car, turn it off and back on, it somehow must reset itself. My window controls on the driver side door no longer work in the front of the car. The seats are all badly stained. I have had this to a dealer in Warren, PA for repairs, but they have been unable to find the problems. Now, of course, my extended warranty is up and I do not have the funds to purchase another one. This car is a money pit. I love how it drives, but now Im stuck with an unreliable vehicle that I still owe $14,000 on.

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.

The water pump on my 2009 Jeep Liberty went bad at 35,000 miles. It is 2 weeks out of warranty and they will not fix it. To top it off, when the case manager said that they will not approve the fix, she would also not let me speak with her supervisor or anyone else. Apparently, they let their lower level case managers make the final decision. A water pump should not go bad for 150,000 miles on todays vehicles. I am starting my anti-Chrysler/Jeep campaign today. I will never buy one again. It is a shame that this is what American car companies have come to. They cant design and make equipment that last past 35,000 miles without breaking.

My name is Joseph **. I bought a 2015 Jeep Renegade and in 4 months this vehicle has let me down. Once, the door locks were not locking and the alarm would come on. Second time, I went to a AT&T about 1 hr from where I live, after going back to my Jeep it would not start. Then I called through the assist button and no luck, no answer. Two hours after tow truck came and took me to get nearest Jeep dealer Firkins in Sarasota. At that time they were closed. Then I had to call a taxi to take me to the airport so I can get a rented car so I could have gotten out from this stranded situation. The next 2 days I had to miss work because I was told that they will try to fit me in so I could get my Jeep and etc. I am a loyal customer and I felt like Jeep just drop the ball and wouldnt never recommend or ever go back to Jeep. This Jeep was bought at Greenway Jeep in Orlando and the people who works there do not care about customers.

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