Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify transmission, power-transfer-unit, and rollaway recall repairs.
- Confirm steering, brake, airbag, and passenger-seat recall completion.
- Ask about stalling, cluster failures, and engine repair history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
