"pump would not stop running even when vehicle was shut off. after it burned out Dealer tried to charge me 41800 for a new one. turns out the pump relay was at fault and was a recall causing the pump to keep running. Still they took a shot at trying to take my money Nice Try"

"I had a leak in the fuel vapor system"

"air suspension compressor replaced twice"

"The left air strut was making popping noises over bumps. For over a year multiple dealers told me there was nothing wrong with it. They finally acknowledged and replaced it. The replacement took 3 additional trips to 2 different dealers to finally get it working correctly again. The 1st 2 trips were related to the front end drooping after sitting for 2 or more hours (air suspension leaking), the 3rd was related to the height adjustment feature not working. Trouble codes were present and the"

"The system made a horrible noise while driving and gave an error code. The dealer 'fixed' the problem but the error message was still showing up. They replaced half the air suspension, charged a hefty amount and the same issue happened again but without any further errors.

"Full turn changes radio station. On this model the wheel controls are very easy to hit accidentally. Turning the wheel should only be attempted if the driver knows where the controls are relative to hand placement. This subordinates driving to dealing with the controls"

"When starting the engine would crank but not start, it was a relay in the computer. They didn't have the part. On several times the engine would just stop. Then I got the recall notice on this. Replaced relay no problems since"

"Loose Motor Mount"

"Almost since I have had it there has been a clunking sound in the front end as well as behind the driver side seat. I have checked with the mechanics and it is the anti-sway bars. They indicated it is not a safety hazard so we just put up withit as there have been so many issues with this vehicle that I will never buy a Jeep again and not sure if I would ever buy a Chrysler product in the future."

Two days from pickup from shop, strange noise pulling into garage and it dropped two bolts and retaining ring on driveway. Was part of drive shaft.

"Latch would not open"

"while driving at 45 mph in traffic transmission shifted into a higher gear making a loud clunking noise and vibration. subsequently lost all power to the drive train, while the engine remained running vehicle no power to the wheels. this lasted for 7-8 seconds until a second loud clunking noise and vibration restored power to the drive train. since this event check engine light remained on for several days until the trouble light reset itself.
