2014 JEEP WRANGLER — Complaint #1169085

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:INTEGRATED JACK/LEVELER/STABILIZER filed March 25, 2015

NHTSA complaint #1169085 (ODI reference 10701710) concerns a 2014 JEEP WRANGLER and was filed on March 25, 2015. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 18, 2015. The vehicle had 28,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Iowa based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:mechanical:integrated jack/leveler/stabilizer, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 1, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP WRANGLER cohort independently describe similar equipment:mechanical:integrated jack/leveler/stabilizer failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 JEEP WRANGLER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
