This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving along a rural road when I hit a bump and the transmission crossmember tore away from the bottom of the frame making it impossible to shift in to 2nd, 4th, or reverse. It is due to the bottom of the frame rotting away. Upon closer inspection I have noticed that the frame is rotted beyond repair and the lower control arm brackets are in danger of being ripped from the frame if vehicle is driven. The frame has prematurely rotted and is a danger to anyone who drives or encounters this vehicle on the road in passing. I have investigated the possibility of replacing the frame but have found it hard to find a suitable replacement due to this problem being very widespread. It is in fact so widespread that a company called auto rust repair makes prefab frame patches. These incidents of rot are very similar to the ones that caused Toyota to recall many pickups over the last five years or so.
Mike mauricio, service manager states that large amount of "surface rust" at 6000 miles is normal. If this is so, then entire undercarriage would be rusted out by 30,000 miles, vehicle would experience structural failure, fuel system would lose integrity creating fire/explosion hazzard. Recommend safety recall of all 2000 Jeep Wrangler. Email for pics.
I made the dealer aware that there was a leak in coming through the bottom of my Jeep. The said it may becoming through the plugs which come out to rinse the interior. But were unable to find any problems. Their response to me was "it's a Jeep...Jeep are supposed to get wet." I'm paying good money for their top model Wrangler and I don't want it leaking through the plugs when it rain. They don't know what to do. But told me that the Jeep could handle it.
While driving on highway traveling 60mph in heavy downpour, noticed water dripping on occupants feet on passenger's side. Contacted dealer. Dealer did a water test, but couldn't locate the problem. Currently, currently, it also was happening on driver's side. Took the glove box out, but there was water on the fuse box, and harness assembly.
Water spraying inside by foot area (floor) of vehicle while driving in the rain. Approx. Speed 55 mph. Both driver and passenger experienced wet floor and shoes while driving.
When it rains vehicle floods at the bottom on the passenger' side. Consumer has contacted the dealer 2-3 times to be fixed, but the problem keeps reoccurring.
