My car has been recalled more times than actually driven when leased. The manufacturer offers no help or returns phone calls. The latest recall is extremely hazardous and dangerous. I am advised to not drive it, not charge it, and not park next to any structure. They do not have a remedy, and still want to continue charging me for the lease. I-??ve complained numerous times about this car and have been ignored incessently.

I spent extra money to get a Jeep Wrangler 4xe, and for over a month now it has been under recall 89a. I have to pay for gas and park far away from everyone and everything, as though that is even possible. If I don-??t and my new, expensive vehicle catches fire I will somehow be liable if someone chooses to park next to me, or if my driveway isn-??t long enough and the fire spreads. There is no fix or compensation in sight and I am angry that this has happened to the car that I used to love.

Recall on battery, no remedy, can't charge my Jeep, can't park in the garage, mpg is down to 18 (typically stays around 24-25 in winter) dealerships are not helpful, Jeep is not communicating as they should. Recall B9A. I also believe there is an issue with the emissions from this, my check engine light has came on twice since I have had the Jeep (bought new in 6/21) can't charge the Jeep or use remote start until reset. Dealership said there was a reading stating there was a leak in the gas tank, couldn't find the leak so reset the engine light.

Owners are advised not to recharge their vehicles and to park outside and away from structures until they are repaired. There are a few reasons why this should be a NON-Driveable recall. 1. The recall involves risk of fire and injury to those in or near the car or property. 2. It is a significant hardship to have to continuously park a car outside of the garage due to extreme cold. Often times homes/apartment buildings simply do not have outdoor parking. 3. It is also extremely challenging to find a place to park the car away from others when driving about town. How does one do that in busy parking lots and parking structures? This would be difficult in any state but far more pronounced in states with cold climates where the vast majority of parking areas are busy and often covered or enclosed. 4.If something catastrophic happened to the Hybrid battery system where the Hybrid system didn't work, you would essentially be stranded. This seems counterintuitive with a separate gas powertrain and separate Hybrid powertrain. 0% is still about 15% general operating condition for the electric assist. There is always some type of regen working to maintain that SOC. That is unacceptable for a dealership to treat this as it is and not notified the customers when or what could be done.

3 incidents of -??death wobble, -?? first time between 4-5,000 miles and again in October and November of 2023. I-??m waiting for another damper as the one they received is leaking. Also, discovered leaking shock absorber. Dangerous and terrifying as you fell like you-??ll lose control of your vehicle! I-??m going on being out of pocket for car rentals for 5 weeks, although reimbursed it-??s still out of pocket initially. I-??ve twice been told -??it-??s fixed!-?? and it-??s happened again! Happens on any slight pavement change and at higher speeds 60-65 mph. The battery recall just came in and complicates my safety and confidence in this vehicle. Unacceptable that it can-??t be near other vehicles, charged or stored in my garage!

We wish to file a complaint for recall B9A (recall date November 22, 2023), also known as NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V787000: "High Voltage Battery May Fail and Cause Fire A vehicle fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.". It has been 30 days since this recall and after multiple inquiries with Chrysler and associated dealerships, no remedy has been made available. No replacement or temporary replacement such as a loaner or rental car has been made available to customers. Owners are advised not to recharge their vehicles, and to park outside and away from structures, until they are repaired. This is untenable, we do not have off street parking, and cannot park it in our driveway or garage. We are paying for not being able to charge the vehicle and using gas instead. Chrysler needs to replace these vehicles now. We are in contact with our lemon lawyers. Thank you.
