    I am reporting a suspected odometer fraud involving a vehicle I purchased from a licensed dealership approximately one year ago. At the time of purchase, the vehicle’s odometer displayed about 64,000 miles. The dealership paperwork and sales documents also listed the mileage as approximately 64,000 miles, and I relied on this information when purchasing the vehicle. After the purchase, the vehicle was financed through my bank and the title was processed by the lender. When the bank received the title documentation, the mileage listed on the title was 101,985 miles. This indicates a discrepancy of nearly 40,000 miles between the mileage represented at the time of sale and the mileage recorded on the title. Key details: * Odometer at purchase: approximately 64,000 miles * Mileage listed on dealership paperwork: approximately 64,000 miles * Mileage listed on title received by lender: 101,985 miles * Current odometer reading: approximately 73,000 miles This discrepancy suggests the possibility that the vehicle was sold with inaccurate mileage disclosure or that the odometer may have been rolled back before the sale. The inaccurate mileage may also create a safety risk because vehicle maintenance schedules rely on accurate mileage. If the vehicle had already exceeded 100,000 miles, important maintenance or inspections may have been delayed or missed, which could increase the risk of mechanical failure while driving. The issue has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center because it was discovered through documentation rather than mechanical inspection. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives regarding this issue. There were no warning lights or mechanical symptoms before the discrepancy was discovered. A copy of the paperwork from the dealer can be provided at a later date.

    The Hood Ajar message stays on and then the service auto start/stop unavailable message comes on. Hood is actually closed and this warning is incorrect but will have to stop car to try and reset it. Hood latch was replaced. First time did not fix it. Took it back and dealership did something else to fix.

    It was cold out and my sister was driving my car with the heated seats on when she started to smell fire as well as her back got really hot. She pulled over and leaned forward and discovered a flame/fire coming through the seat back. She burned my hand and had visible ash on it trying to put the fire out. There is now a hole in the seat back from where the fire burned through.

    I used my cruise control on the highway and once I turned it off my Jeep began vibrating a lot. My Jeep now vibrates all of the time when I accelerate. I took it to the shop and had over $2,200 in work done and they are unable to find the specific reason that it is vibrating when I accelerate and stated it likely to due to something with the transfer case. After hours of non stop research I discovered that the issue that I am having is exactly like the Stellantis 01C issue but I am not finding my Jeep under the recall list. I also had an issue where my oil cooler housing unit was cracked and had to be replaced because it is made out of plastic.

    On January 3, 2026, I test drove a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee (VIN [XXX] ) from a franchised Jeep dealership in Lewiston, Idaho. After the test drive, the vehicle was placed on a lift and it was discovered that the front driver-side lower ball joint was missing a retaining bolt, allowing separation from the lower control arm. This condition created an immediate risk of suspension failure and loss of control while driving on public roads.
