Jeep: A History of Defects

While consumers expect Jeep vehicles to perform as advertised by Fiat Chrysler, defects are common across all models, such as the Jeep Wrangler. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the most common problems with the Jeep Wrangler include:

  • Steering Problems — Consumers have reported problems such as loose steering, drifting, and excessive wheel corrections to stay in lane. The automaker has attributed these problems to defective steering bolts and faulty PCM software though no recalls have been issued for the steering issues. 
  • Structural Defects — Fiat Chrysler has previously issued recalls for defective frame welds in the Wrangler which could reduce steering capacity, increasing the risk of an accident. Dealers were instructed to make the necessary repairs free of charge. 
  • Water Leaks — Owners and lessees have frequently reported water leaks, whether under normal driving conditions or when parked after heavy rains, resulting in mold, rust, and corrosion. Wrangler drivers have also complained about wet seats, soaked floorboards, standing water in the trunk, and water infiltrating the cabin from the roof and windshield.
  • Transmission Problems — The Jeep Wrangler has a storied history of transmission and power train problems, including the transmission slipping or getting stuck in a particular gear. 

The problems don’t end with the Jeep Wrangler as California consumers have also reported numerous defects with the Jeep Cherokee. Common problems with the popular crossover SUV include:

  • Engine oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and timing cover gasket
  • Transmission problems such as rough shifting or delayed shifting while driving or  accelerating
  • Driveability issues like hard starting, stalling, and hesitation when accelerating
  • Cracked manifolds  caused by improperly welded pipes resulting in ticking noises and other issues

In addition, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, one of the most popular Jeep models, has experienced a wide range of defects, such as: 

  • Air conditioner problems
  • Brake problems 
  • Electrical problems
  • Engine problems 
  • Exhaust/emission problems 
  • Suspension/steering problems

Grand Cherokee drivers have also frequently complained about engine starting and stalling issues, harsh or delayed gear changes, defects in the dashboard upholstery, and intermittent electrical problems.

At CAA, we know that Jeep vehicles have a history of preventable defects involving the above-mentioned models and many others, such as the Commander, Compass, Liberty, Patriot, and Renegade. Fiat Chrysler has also issued numerous technical service bulletins and Jeep recalls. If your Jeep is a lemon, our dedicated advocates will fight to protect your rights.
