Structure · at 145,000 miles · reported Jul 23, 2019

Sunroof leaks during/after heavy rain, putting car through carwash. Water puddles on floor well of drivers seat and floor well of passenger behind drivers seat. Issue started in 2009. Leaks happen while in motion or standing still.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 122,000 miles · reported Jul 18, 2019

Car will stall after filling up gas tank, and there is a loss to all the driving components. No brakes, no steering, no power. Very dangerous. I have taken it to multiple mechanics and they say it is something in the gas tank, and the only way to replace it is to replace it is to buy a new gas tank. There are multiple forums with thousands of people with the same issue. Please issue recall this is not safe.

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Jul 13, 2019

Car has hard time starting after short time of being shut off. Company knows of this problem, it has instructions in owners m anual on how to restart car. Sometimes it can take a long time. This can put a lot of unnecessary stress on the battery. I believe this issue should have had a recall & be fixed by company. Please note: I'm not the original owner.

Engine · at 100,000 miles · reported Jul 3, 2019

Every time I refuel the vehicle sputters and stalls. No matter what grade of fuel. It will sputter and stall for up to 20 miles after I fill it up. It has even stalled when pulling into traffic and the steering wheel locks when that happens. It's not safe. The jeep dealership has been replacing stuff hoping to find a fix but no luck so far. It will stall stationary, moving, turning, or braking. I believe it may be something related to the fuel tank rollover valve. At least that's the only reasonable thing I have read or been told.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 2 miles · reported May 23, 2019

When I fill the gas tank all the way the car will go about 25 feet and start to stall and shutoff locking the steering wheel and I have no control of the car. If I dont fill it up all the way this is not a problem. It appears there are many people having the same issue as seen here. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t29898_ds631498
