Owner Complaints (209)
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2017 Jeep that is currently under recall for the Power Transfer Unit (PTU). I experienced a very frightening situation while driving in traffic when my vehicle would not properly stay in place, and I had to keep firm pressure on the brake to prevent it from rolling back into traffic.

The issue involved a malfunction of the two-speed Power Transfer Unit, which is available for inspection upon request. This malfunction created a serious safety risk, as it could have caused me to crash or resulted in another vehicle crashing into me. The problem was confirmed by an auto machanic that came to my home to inspect the vehicle because I was unable to drive it to get it inspected.

We continuously receive dashboard messaging related to this defect to replace the PTU. All lights illuminate near the shift knob, too. I'm scared I will lose motive power and cause a crash without warning or lose park function to cause injury.

I had my 2017 Jeep repaired at the mechanic on January 30. I drove it straight home from the mechanic and within five minutes the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The service provided was tires, struts control arms, and of course placing the tire sensors on the car, no electrical work and no prior incidents of electrical concerns.

Hello, what I am trying to find out is if the NHTSA has ever got notification or investigated what folks call the Jeep Death Wobble. We just got the Jeep and are looking to flat tow the vehicle behind our Motorhome and folks tell us that Jeep issued a Service Bulletin regarding the death wobble and would require modifications to the electrical system to resolve the problem.

While driving on the interstate doing 70 MPH, the words 'service shifter' come up on my dash. After more research this appears to be a common problem with these vehicles, resulting in the vehicle going into park while driving and creating accidents. Mine is a 2017 with only 11,000 miles on it.

Your 4WD warning light is on, and a mechanic found it's related to a known safety recall — but your vehicle's VIN isn't currently included in that recall. The issue involves the power transfer unit (PTU), which could cause loss of power to your wheels. The dealer wants to charge $350 just to read the diagnostic code and $2,000–$4,000 to repair it, though they said you might get reimbursed later if your vehicle is added to the recall. Getting this fixed will likely involve having a dealer diagnose the PTU and replace any faulty components.

Your power transfer unit (PTU) has failed. You believe this is a manufacturing defect that matches problems described in a recall, but your vehicle's VIN may not be included in that recall. You're requesting that your vehicle be added to and repaired under the recall program. Fixing this will likely require replacing or rebuilding the power transfer unit.

on 11/1/25 we were driving our Jeep and it malfunctioned while at a stop light. We heard a loud "clunk" and the car would barely go and if we tried to put in park, it would continue to roll. We were on top of a hill so thankfully we didnt roll back or into traffic.
