| Many problems with this vehicle. water pump leaked - fixed under warranty, gas tank seal leaked - fixed under warranty, seats ripped - fixed under warranty, suction cup marks on window - fixed under warranty, front stabilizer shock leaked - fixed under warranty, rear window seal leaked - repaired under warranty two times and still leaks, instrument panel fails - out of warranty not repaired, radiator failed - out of warranty fixed at my cost, stabilizer arm failed both sides twice - fixed under warranty once and the out of warranty fixed at my cost, exhaust manifold failed - out of warranty - fixed at my cost, clutch fork failed - out of warranty fixed at my cost, leak under the dash board passenger side - fixed under warranty. of all the problems above... loss of instrument panel needs to be fixed by the manufacturer regardless of in or out of warranty. loss of gauges is a driving distraction and can result in an accident. jeep needs to address this manufacturing defect as long as this vehicle is on the road. *jb | |||

| Brake rotors had to be re-finished after only 8000 miles. i question the quality of materials chrysler is using. steering wheel rubbing: steering column would make a rubbing noise every time it was turned. did this even on the initial test drive new off the lot. they said it was a simple lubrication issue. 2 weeks later, the noise was back. i brought it in a total of 6 times before the problem was finally resolved, apparently with some new super slick polymer and only after i personally called the factory to get advice. other issues: driver's seat creaks like an old tractor. they couldn't fix it. i had the problem with the gauges on my dash going off. they knew what that was and dixed it. exhaust manifold went after only 12,000 miles (more substandard parts used by chrysler). this is why i hesitate to buy american. | |||
