Electrical SystemFeb 2023
Electrical issue with drivers side front blinker works when headlights are off but when headlights are turned on front blinker does not work. I’ve seen numerous complaints about the same issue with this vehicle amongst other electrical issues
Air BagsDec 2022
Horn stopped working. Tested actual horn another way and it operates properly but when driving it does not work Someone mentioned it could be the clock spring. Is this covered under warranty or other reports of this malfunctioning for a recall?
StructureMay 2020
Sky slider roof broken, will not open nor close. I have to put a tarp over my jeep to keep the rain out. Cannot be repaired due to no parts available. The possibility for this roof to fly off while driving at high speeds is real. Chrysler/jeep needs to remedy this problem
Service BrakesJul 2019
Brakes failed 3 different times with the peddle going to the floor, almost causing an accident
