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.
Many of the problems I have had with this vehicle could have caused a fatal crash. There are many failures apparently not being addressed by Chrysler. Jeep vehicles should be sold along with legal representation. The list of problems I have encountered so far are as follows: Complete automatic transmission, lf axle, viscous coupler in transfer case--big $$, complete A/C system, cruise control, air bag sensor, speedometer assy.+ the recalls as of date--fr. Brake rotors, shift interlock--very unsatisfied 1st time Jeep owner.

On this occasion and a previous one approximately 2 years ago accidents occuring on the frontal portion of the vehicle failed to activate the air bag. The driver stuck the windshield with his head and cracked same and bent the steering whell as a result of the impact but the air bag did not activate and inflate. |daimler-Chrysler was notified in both instances and they sent an investigator. On both occasions they had an explanation as to why it did not work neither of which explains why in a accident as serious as this in which the front right side (head light area) came in contact with a utility pole that resulted in enough damage to total the vehicle and the air bag did not deploy. My son driver could have been injured much more seriously that the bumps and bruises from emcountering the windshield and steering wheel. I contend that the system on this vehicle is not a safe deterent in an accident.
