  • Electrical System, exterior Lighting, unknown Or Other 11/25/2018

    Dome light leaking water when rain or snow, leaving seats, car floor mats drenched. Had to replace radio three times and it smells like something burning

  • Suspension, power Train, structure 03/10/2022

    Air conditioner drain drips directly on subframe cross brace for front cradle, erosion and road grim along with neverending dripping water even from using defrost leads to rust and cross brace breaking into and well you can use your imagination for what happens next. Drain needs extended and re routed because I know I can't be the only one with this problem.

  • Electrical System 02/26/2022

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer had been made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.

  • Engine, fuel/propulsion System 12/16/2021

    Car shuts off after fueling. Is a common problem with other Jeep owners found on Google. My mechanic actually found the articles. Apparently it is a Rollover valve issue. Like others have suggested, not to fill the fuel tank full unless you want to pay over $1000 for a new gas tank. I don't want to drive in fear this car is going to keep shutting off. Why hasn't this been fixed when so many others have had the same issue?
