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.
(1) Since October, I have had airbag failure in my Wrangler Rubicon. The failure is the 2nd time for the same defective parts. Jeep has failed to repair/replace the parts. I've been waiting for two months. I cannot drive with no airbags. It's a death sentence and SUICIDE to drive without airbags. There is a recall on this same defect issue, yet Jeep has continued to ignore this issue. (2) Jeep repaired a recall on my sidemirror defrosters a few years ago. After their repair, the defroster never worked again. (3) My heated seats failed to work, due to known defects. I've been without the deated seats for more than 2 years now! Jeep refuses to fix their defects.
The check-valve nipple on the gas tank of my 2011 Jeep Wrangler is broken. You can see it and smell the gas vapors leaking from this nipple. The vehicle has 86K miles. The Jeep failed our Delaware state inspection because the check engine light came on. The Jeep smells like gas and in addition to harmful vapors, it is a serious safety issue and an explosion danger. Two service stations attempted to fix this without success. The error code is P0455 for an emissions leak. The most recent service station ordered several previously-owned Jeep gas tanks but they all had this same failure. They next ordered a new gas tank from Jeep which was out of stock for several months, indicating they can not keep up with the demand for these failing nipples. When the new gas tank finally came in, this same nipple was broken and this was a brand new gas tank. If you go on line, you will see this is a common problem and a safety issue. As a former engineer for Ford Motor Company, it is clear Jeep has a design flaw that will break and cause a safety risk to customers. The material is wrong for this application, and there is not enough strain relief where this nipple is located. It will inevitably break on all Jeeps at some point in time causing this safety risk. I told the service station that there is no reason to replace the gas tank because this nipple will simply fail again. They have other Jeeps they are working on with this same problem so had no problem canceling my service request. Please address this problem with Jeep before someone is injured or killed.
Jeep wranglers have a common problem with the fuel inlet. It clogs over time then will cause fuel to spill over or click off constantly while fueling the vehicle. This gets worse in cold months. I have spilled fuel hundreds of times over the years while fueling. Jeep forums and YouTube talk about the widespread issue. No warranty or recall? Perhaps after a gas station goes up in flames
When filling up with fuel, the gas will spit back and spill fuel on the side of Jeep and ground, even after the automatic shut off of the hose engages. Has happened several, maybe 5 dozen, times since I've owned it. It us well documented from thousands of owners of this style Jeep having the same problem.
Driving down road vehicle started to flame from right front passenger side near front. Pulled over. Got out in time at which time vehicle went up in flames. Called 911 and fire department came put out fire left fire reignited and they came back to put out. Called insurance, filed case with Chrysler got no response. Vehicle was not modified or used for off road this was a vehicle used for regular commute to work. The vehicle was traveling a speed of approx 35 mph on a city street. Raymond street. Believe it was an issue with fuel system in relation to engine. Salvage yard phone 317-787-3202 vehicle id for salvage 27404152 Chrysler case #[xxx] geico claim #[xxx] wayne township fire dept indpls, in about 8:45 pm responded to this ('parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).')
When filling the fuel tank, gasoline spews out of the filler tube as the gas pump clicks off at "full" level. The vehicle was stationary and the engine was turned off. This problem happens almost every time I fill the tank
When filling with fuel, gas will spit back from the filler neck and all over the side of the Jeep right before the fuel nozzle clicks off. This has happened 3 times now in the 3 weeks since I bought this vehicle from a dealer. This creates a fire hazard in the event gas hit a hot spot or a spark caused by static, etc...
2011 Jeep sahara Wrangler refueling problem. Refueling geyser overflow problem of gasoline at where nozzle enters vehicle. Requires manually clicking off handle when fuel tank is completely full overflowing gasoline on ground, Jeep, and self, (fuel on hands and shoes). This overflow occurred January 25, 2019, February 11, 2019, and March 10, 2019. We are the original owners from berglund Jeep Dodge Ram dealership and the service advisor indicated repairs would not be covered April 3, 2019.
When filling up at a fuel pump, the fuel pump handle will click off and after that happens, about 1/4 of a gallon of fuel will spill out of the filler neck onto the side of my vehicle.
My check engine light is on. After taking it in for a diagnostic test, they said my PCM failed. My Jeep will not pass emissions the computer is not opening and closing my egr value.
When refueling, the gas does not shut off and spills out of the tank until user shuts off. This happens each time you refuel and you are unable to fill up to shut off. I have spilled gasoline, on vehicle, clothing, ground, gas pump, etc. This is a pretty serious issue and I could not find a recall. I don't think this should be ignored. I had to add a date below, just the latest time it has been an issue. It has occurred multiple times to myself and my spouse.
