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.
Oil cooler housing is made of plastic which melts due to engine heat and the location of the part. It-??s a common issue with jeeps and should be recalled as it-??s an ongoing know issue with all vehicles with the 3.6 pentastar engine.
Windshield has cracked from cold to hot transition upon vehicle startup without previous cracks or chips affecting said crack line. Available for inspection. Fear of possible windshield failure/full breakage at any given point. Continued cracking during vehicle start up/cold to hot transition happened 4 more times in last 30 days. No dealer, independent service center, manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others inspection. No warning lamps or messages.
2017 Jeep Wrangler, approx 46k miles, driven gently (only highway and city), well-maintained. Problems with Brake Calipers seizing. Back Driver calipers/lines/pad/etc replaced. ABS and brakes jammed last week. Front and Back Passenger calipers, rotors, brake fluid lines and brake pads advised by mechanic. Brakes temping 550 - unreadable (temp gun wouldn't register) Mechanic recommends unsafe to drive because brakes could seize and cause sudden stop and/or accident Dealer says too bad, normal wear and tear. This is our family's 10th Jeep, and NOTHING has happened like this before. Seems like a safety issue perhaps that Jeep should be addressing rather than putting on the consumer (who will no longer purchase Jeeps)
Shortly, after returning home, I was cleaning out my jeep, including my glove box. There is no catch behind the glove box and things fall out the back of the glovebox to the floor particularly get stuck underneath the center dashboard console directly adjacent to the glove box. I had some face masks from Covid that fell out the back of the glove box, and landed underneath the hidden in area of the console between the steering column in the glove box. I reached behind the plastic cover to retrieve the masks and burned my hand on some very hot metal. It was so hot. If I would not have found the masks that fell in there, they would-??ve surely started an interior fire in the jeep while I was driving or in my garage. This is very dangerous, my husband also burned himself when he checked on another day when I showed him. This is a serious fire hazard and they need to either completely close off that gap at the glove box or close it off directly below the dashboard where all the controls are for heating and cooling and radio.
My Jeep has been experiencing what is called the -??death wobble-??. When I get over 50mph, it starts to shake real bad feeling as though my tires are about to come off.

Clockspring needs to be replaced. I have had this happen twice in my Jeep Wrangler RHD that I previously owned. There is a recall for models through 2016, but mine is a 2017.
My 2017 Jeep Wranger Sahara Unlimited has 36,000 miles on it and the front right brake caliper seized up. It should not already be faulty with that low of miles. I have done researched and found numerous other people have had the same problem with the same year jeep as mine. I replaced the pads, rotor and caliper on it at my expense but it shouldnt have gone bad already. A definate recall should be done
Multiple dealerships are unable to diagnose my vehicle with anything wrong. I experience my vehicle stalling to turn on. It has now escalated to stalling and turning on but shutting down as soon as it turns on then I restart it but it stalls then turns on. The last time this occurred was yesterday 2/9/22 and it was right at entrance of freeway. II am lucky the vehicle did not shut down on the freeway with my two children inside of it and cause a collision. We could have been killed or caused a disastrous crash. This issue has been going on since I purchased the vehicle in 2019. There are no warning lamps to indicate something is wrong but there is documentation I have taken to two dealerships to fix issue but they cannot determine what is wrong with it. I have called Jeep and my extended warranty (Fidelity) and they both said they can-??t do anything for me until my car shows a return on computer that says something is wrong with it. I see a recall online (recall # 18V524000) from 08/08/2018 on cars.com that describes the issue I am experiencing. I have videos I recorded of my car stalling before turning on since I have been reporting the issue. I contacted Jeep customer service (Case # 81910661) and they told me nothing can be done until something -??happens-?? with my vehicle. I asked if I am supposed to get into a car accident before something is done. I asked for issue to be escalated and she said it cannot be escalated to legal team until something -??happens-?? with vehicle. Please help me. Something is wrong with the vehicle. It is currently at the dealership once again so they can -??monitor it-?? turning it off and on daily. Last time it was at dealer just sitting there for 2 weeks and they were not able to find out the issue or experience the stall. Consumer stated there is a safety issue with the vehicle stalling when starting and shutting down when driven.
Rear rear window exploded while sitting still believe due to rear defroster malfunction but dealer is saying no. No other explanation could have done it no outside interference running in a residenti driveway clear cool day windows down no inside pressure
During high winds the hood was fluttering. On 11/23/2020, during high winds, on a state highway at about 65 mph, we passed a large truck and the driver's side hood latch sheered off in the wind. We replaced that latch and noticed the fluttering was reduced on the driver's side but not on the passenger side, so we replaced the passenger side as well. We had to obtain parts from two dealerships, as neither dealership had two parts. Both dealerships indicated this was a known problem and they have been unable to stock enough parts.
Was driving and smelled a burning smell.. thought that there was a little oil on engine due to oil change 2 days before. Decided to pull over, brakes were gone. Rolled to stop just in time to get out. Burned until all was smoldering..
A few months ago, I got in my car and turned the key and the car would not start. All lights came on, but no power. Let it sit about 5 min, tried again and it magically started. It did this 3 or 4 times in a few days time over the summer (2020) and then stopped. On 9/26/20, it started doing this again. It left me and my mother stranded for 20 min at a time doing the exact thing, before finally starting. I looked up recalls and on my make and model, there is a recall about a chip in the key fob not connecting with a module in the Jeep computer correctly. Called the dealership, they said since my specific VIN was not mentioned in the recall, it would be $75 for them to look at it and it would be 4 days before they would get me in. I am 6 months pregnant and high risk with gestational diabetes after losing 2 babies. I am livid that I can't get any help on a leased vehicle since the mileage is outside of my warranty. I have cried all morning terrified that me, my daughter and unborn baby will be stuck somewhere at a doctor appt in a bad area with no transportation.
The vehicle's traction control light alarmed and automatically applied brakes heavily resulting in a near miss rear end collision. The vehicle hindered the gas pedal and I was forced to a stop on the middle of a heavily travel roadway. The vehicle is still under factory warranty. I called Chrysler and made an appointment. After 4 days, I was told nothing is wrong with my vehicle.
Driving at 90km/H smoke came from under hood near windscreen, engine light came on, engine ran rough and stalled, pulled over to hard shoulder, tried to restart several times, would start after a while but would stall. Got out, was about to open hood when there was an explosion/ fire ball from the engine compartment (primarily under vehicle and from wheel wells. The engine compartment caught fire, vehicle completely burnt out.
I owned a 2015 Jeep Wrangler and now a 2017 Jeep Wrangler both of them have had radiators that leak in the same place on the drivers side. This is not a considence there is a factory problem that causes this.
My vehicle went in for a routine oil change in March of this year. Since then my engine light has contributed to come on. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership I purchased the new vehicle from to figure out the issue five times over the course of this summer. They have claimed to repair components of the vehicle, yet the light is still on. I do not feel safe driving in a vehicle that a service department can not figure out what's going on.
