About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The pistons holding up the front hood assembly failed and can no longer bear the weight of the hood. No one was injured when the initial failure occured. This presents a major problem when servicing the vehicle as there is no other reliable mechanism to hold up the hood. Placing a stick or other object to hold this open is an accident waiting to happen. Jeep was contacted and would not pay for replaing this faulty component. Other pistons which hold up the rear hatch as well as the pop-up glass also cannot effectively hold up the weight of the conponents they were designed for.

While checking under the hood struts snapped, causing the hood to fall down. Dealership notified, but the problem was not resolved.
