We purchased our 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4XE/4WD Hybrid in December of 2021. Since our purchase, we've received multiple recall notices which were since resolved. The volume of these recalls has been concerning to us, especially for such an expensive vehicle for which we had an expectation of quality. However, the most recent recall for the High Voltage Battery B9A/NHTSA 23V-787 is a catastrophic problem because we live in an attached townhome community. This exposes us personally to both catastrophic danger AND liability. Secondarily, we paid a hefty premium purchase price for a hybrid vehicle, a function that is lost to us now. We also incurred the considerable expense of installing a charger in our garage, for use with our Jeep Rubicon. We can no longer use this charging station.

1. Driving 70 mph on [XXX], the road was somewhat rough. I experienced severe wobbling (Chrysler calls this a shimmy) from the front end up to the steering wheel. I had to slow to about 35 mph so I could maintain control of the car. Jeep dealership said the car was manufactured with an older steering dampener. A new one is not available. 2. The display screen sometimes takes over many electrical functions. Heat and defrosting were not working during driving in a snow storm. Both of these deficiencies are safety issues and should be on a recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.
