Jeeps, including the Jeep Wrangler, enjoyed a relatively strong reputation as a reliable and well-designed sport utility vehicle. However, recent iterations of different Jeep models (most notably the Jeep Wrangler 4xe) have fallen short of Jeep’s reputation and been derided as lemons. This is because some of the recent Jeep models have displayed major reliability and safety issues, including heightened fire risks and complete power loss
There have been major recalls issued for Jeep models (including models manufactured between 2019 and 2025) that could fall under Florida Lemon Law.
If your Jeep – whether it is a Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Patriot, etc. – has persistent mechanical or performance issues, reach out to Bad Vehicle to discuss your legal options.

If you are contemplating filing a Lemon Law claim, you generally have two options: (i) try to handle the claim yourself or (ii) hire a Lemon Law attorney. There are pros and cons to each. Lemon Law claims are supposed to be relatively straightforward. However, there is paperwork, time and, in some states, filing fees that must be addressed to have a viable claim. This is why it often makes more sense to have an experienced Lemon Law attorney take the burden off your shoulders and handle the claims process.
