Jeep Wrangler owners have reported 2 problems related to hatchback/liftgate (under the structure category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Jeep Wrangler based on all problems reported for the Wrangler.
When the vehicle is on an incline (front of the vehicle facing up the hill), the rear lift gate has a tendency to open on its own. This happened to me; as soon as I opened the bottom portion of the tailgate (which keeps the upper portion closed), the top section immediately opened, striking me on the bridge of my nose. This force of the impact almost knocked me to the ground, left me disoriented, cut and bleeding.
