Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

A PIECE FELL FROM UNDER THE SEAT WHICH MAKES THE SEAT FEEL LOOSE. THE SIDE CONTROL PANEL FOR MOVING THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH DOES NOT GIVE FULL CONTROL OF ADJUSTING THE SEAT. THE KEY LESS REMOTE WILL NOT LOCK AND UNLOCK MY DOORS. I HAVE TO USE MANUAL LOCKS. I TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT, I WAS ADVISED GROUND WIRES WERE CROSSING AND BLOWING OUT A FUSE/RELAY. THE MOPHAR SKYLINER SUNROOF IS OFF TRACK. THERE IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE SUNROOF. CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL YET SEVERAL JEEPS ARE HAVING AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. IT IS $300 FOR A NEW ROOF WHICH WILL BREAK/GO OFF TRACK WITHIN 2 YEARS. OR $6000 TO REPAIR THE ROOF I HAVE WHICH STILL DOES NOT GUARANTEE IT WILL BREAK/GO OFF TRACK AGAIN. THE ROOF OPENS ON IT'S OWN WHILE I AM DRIVING CAUSING EXPOSURE TO OUTSIDE WEATHER. I HAVE READ FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT THE ROOF HAS FLOWN OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN CAUSE INJURIES TO THE PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE AND/OR DRIVING AROUND THE VEHICLE. *JS

THE HEATING ELEMENT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER HEATED SEAT HAS STARTED TO BURN THROUGH THE SEAT. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE THE CAR IS BEYOND THE 3 YR/36,000 MILES WARRANTY, CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE COULD BE BURNED OR THAT THE SEAT COULD CATCH FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND BELIEVE IT IS ENOUGH OF A SAFETY CONCERN TO FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR
