Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 2355)

Air Bags3 issues
criticalAIR BAGS
CrashFiled: Mar 2026

Your driver's side airbag failed to deploy during a serious front and rear-end collision, even though the side impact airbags worked properly. You sustained head injuries when your head struck the sun visor and windshield because the frontal airbag didn't cushion the impact. There were no warning signs of an airbag problem before the accident occurred. The issue may require inspection and replacement of the driver's airbag system and its deployment mechanism.

NHTSA #: 11724129
criticalAIR BAGS
Filed: Feb 2026

Your airbag warning light has come on. This indicates a problem with your airbag system that needs to be diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible. A mechanic will need to scan your vehicle's computer to identify what triggered the warning.

NHTSA #: 11717868
criticalAIR BAGS
Filed: Jan 2026

Your driver's side headrest airbag deployed while you were driving on January 18th, 2026, even though there was no accident. The unexpected deployment caused you whiplash and headaches, and nearly caused a crash as you pulled over safely. No warning lights appeared before or during the deployment. The dealership will need to inspect the airbag system to determine why it fired without an impact.

NHTSA #: 11711983
Seat Belts3 issues
criticalSEAT BELTS
Filed: Jan 2026

Your seat belt won't retract properly due to a crack where it enters the post, which compresses the belt. The dealership says replacement parts aren't currently available, leaving your seat belt non-functional. This is a critical safety issue since you're unable to use the seat belt as designed, only as a visual deterrent against tickets.

NHTSA #: 11714273
criticalSEAT BELTS
Filed: Jan 2026

Your seatbelts aren't retracting properly—the passenger side seatbelt stopped working first, and now the driver side seatbelt is doing the same thing. This is a safety concern since seatbelts need to retract to stay out of the way and function properly in a crash.

NHTSA #: 11710122
highSEAT BELTS
Filed: Feb 2026

Your seat belt won't retract properly because the D-ring anchors (the metal loops the belt feeds through) have cracked. This means the seat belt may not stay secured or could be difficult to fasten and unfasten. The D-ring assembly will likely need to be replaced to restore proper seat belt function.

Fuel/propulsion System2 issues
criticalFUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Filed: Mar 2026

Your engine stalled unexpectedly at highway speeds without any warning lights, causing a complete loss of power while driving in traffic — a serious safety risk. The dealership found that an internal relay in your power module failed, which prevented fuel from reaching the engine at the correct pressure (35 PSI instead of the required 58 PSI). The repair required replacing both fuel pumps and installing an external bypass relay kit to restore normal operation.

NHTSA #: 11725859
highFUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Filed: Feb 2026

Your fuel system failed catastrophically and was repaired under a recall, but the same problem happened again just 2 months later with a low fuel pressure code. The dealership has had your vehicle for 2 weeks without running diagnostics or offering a loaner vehicle. This recurring fuel pressure issue will likely require a fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, or fuel filter replacement to restore proper fuel delivery.

NHTSA #: 11715740
Structure1 issue
criticalSTRUCTURE
Filed: Mar 2026

Water is leaking into the area where your liftgate locks, which appears to happen after rain. Your power liftgate now opens and then automatically closes instead of staying open, making it unusable. The dealership suspects water intrusion is causing electrical damage to the liftgate system, and based on a related recall, this water intrusion could potentially create a fire hazard. The fix will likely involve identifying and sealing the source of the water leak, then repairing or replacing the affected liftgate electrical components.

NHTSA #: 11727988
Steering,suspension1 issue
criticalSTEERING,SUSPENSION
Filed: Feb 2026

Your vehicle experienced multiple steering and suspension issues during normal driving. You noticed the front end shaking when turning and braking, a loose steering wheel feel, the rear end drifting unexpectedly, and ticking sounds from the rear—particularly when accelerating or braking. The steering became difficult to turn in curves, and the vehicle felt unstable and loose throughout the drive, raising serious safety concerns about loss of control. This will likely require a full suspension and steering system inspection, including checks of tie rods, control arms, wheel bearings, and rear axle components.

NHTSA #: 11719881
Electrical System,service Brakes1 issue
criticalELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Jan 2026

Your car's anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic traction control system are both malfunctioning, even though they were previously recalled and supposedly repaired. The warning lights stay on constantly, your brakes aren't working at full capacity (causing you to slide), and your four-wheel drive isn't engaging properly, leaving you stuck in snow. A technician has already inspected the vehicle and confirmed these systems are failing. The fix will likely involve diagnosing why the recalled repairs didn't hold and either replacing faulty sensors, control modules, or wiring in the brake and traction control systems.

NHTSA #: 11711894

criticalELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
Filed: Jan 2026

Your Jeep repeatedly enters limp mode, causing the engine to drop to 40 mph on the highway at speeds of 70 mph—a dangerous situation that's almost caused accidents. Despite spending over $9,000 replacing camshafts, cylinder heads, variable valve timing phasers, oil pump, computer, timing chain, and timing gears, a new oil pressure problem has developed. Your mechanic believes the only safe option now is a complete engine replacement costing over $13,000. This repair would involve removing and replacing your entire 3.6L engine with a new one.

NHTSA #: 11711255

Filed: Mar 2026

Two days after your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee was repaired under warranty, the check engine light came on while driving. You discovered a part hanging underneath the vehicle — the reluctor ring had detached from the engine. The dealer confirmed the problem but said the part wasn't in stock and wrapped a rag around the connector as a temporary measure instead of making the repair. The rag became soaked, indicating continued leaking. You'll need to have the reluctor ring replaced once the part arrives at the dealer.

Filed: Feb 2026

Your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee is experiencing transmission slipping and delayed shifting, along with braking problems that affect how the vehicle drives and operate safely. An independent mechanic found burnt transmission fluid, suggesting the transmission was damaged before you bought it. A fluid change helped temporarily, but the shifting delays continue to happen. These issues could impact your vehicle's safe operation and may require transmission repair or replacement.

NHTSA #: 11720304

highPOWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Filed: Feb 2026

Your engine is losing crankshaft position signal, which prevents it from running properly. The dealer performed the recall service (a software update/flash) but this didn't solve the problem. Based on other reports, the reluctor wheel—a component that helps the engine sensors track crankshaft position—likely needs to be replaced, but the dealer is refusing to fix it because they claim your vehicle is too old to warrant the repair. Getting this fixed will likely require replacing the reluctor wheel and possibly related sensors to restore proper engine operation.

NHTSA #: 11717738
Steering,engine1 issue
highSTEERING,ENGINE
Filed: Feb 2026

Your Jeep shut down while approaching a red light on a main road, causing the battery light, ABS warning, and power saver mode to activate. The power steering stopped working, and the engine shut off, leaving you unable to move the vehicle until you waited 5 minutes and restarted it. This suggests an electrical system failure that caused multiple systems to lose power simultaneously, and the fix will likely involve diagnosing your battery, alternator, or electrical connections.
