THE PARKING BRAKE HANDLE/ CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN FAULTY ON MY VEHICLE FROM ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT NEW. IT BEING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY ON SEVERAL INSTANCES. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL OE UNIT TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM. YES THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CABLE TENSION SYSTEM.
SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I TURN ON THE LEFT BLINKER. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TAILGAIT. AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE THE TAILGATE HINGE DID NOT STOP THE TAILGATE FROM OPENING UP A FULL 180 DEGREES CAUSING THE ELBOW JOINT TO COME COMPLETELY OUT AND MY RIGHT TAIL LIGHT TO BE SHATTERED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER SHIP THAT THIS WAS COMMON ISSUE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS/EMAILS TO GET IT FIXED.
TIPM PROBLEMS OVER HEATING. SAFETY FRONT TURN SIGNALS CHANGED TO FOG LIGHT NOT AWARE UNTIL PARKED IN FRONT OF A PLATE GLASS WINDOW AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM TIPM LESS THAN 90 DAYS SINCE IT WAS CHANGED. HEARING OF AIRBAG FAILURE ANTILOCK BRAKE PROBLEMS ETC ALL RELATED TO THE TIPM SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR CONCERN
WHEN DRIVING AND ACCELERATE TO AROUND 3500 TO 5000 RPM RANDOMLY THE JEEP STALLS AND DOESN'T ACCELERATE NORE PASSES 2500 RPMS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY. I CLEARED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AROUND 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. OBD CODE WAS P06DD
WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. TODAY I WHEN FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND WAS TRYING TO PARK ON A BUSY STREET AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN START THE VEHICLE AGAIN BEFORE I COULD DRIVE AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD POSSIBLY KILL SOMEONE IF THIS HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE. IVE READ MANY REPORTS ON LINE OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.
2012 JEEP SAHARA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TENSIONER ARM AND SERPENTINE BELT FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE LOST ITS STEERING. THE TENSIONER ARM SEIZED SHREDDING THE SERPENTINE BELT WHICH LODGED INTO THE ENGINE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS. UPDATED 09/25/2017*JS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON 10/2/2015 INVOLVING 2012 JEEP WRANGLER, MY VEHICLE JERKED TO THE RIGHT SUDDENLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. THE JEEP WAS JERKED OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH ON THE RIGHT, HIT THE FRONT END OF THE DITCH AND WAS LAUNCHED AIRBORNE, THEN CRASHED ON THE CEMENT WALL OF A SECOND DITCH, BOUNCING TWICE BEFORE LANDING IN THE DITCH AND HITTING THE FRONT END OF THAT DITCH. I REPEATEDLY SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT ENGAGE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY SEAT BELT TENSIONER DID NOT ENGAGE, CAUSING ME TO BE THROWN FORWARD AND BACKWARDS REPEATEDLY. I SUFFERED A CLOSED HEAD INJURY AND HERNIATIONS TO MULTIPLE DISCS IN MY NECK AS WELL AS TRAUMA TO THE FACET JOINTS IN MY NECK, RESULTING IN SEVERE FORAMINAL STENOSIS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS THAT REQUIRES NEUROSURGICAL INTERVENTION. I SLAMMED MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL 4 TIMES, MY CHEST ONCE. THIS ACCIDENT FOREVER CHANGED MY LIFE. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALLED FCA TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT, AM ALWAYS TOLD SOMEONE WILL CALL ME BACK. IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS AND NO ONE HAS CALLED ME BACK. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD SOMEONE WOULD COME LOOK AT MY VEHICLE TO INSPECT IT, NEVER HAPPENED. AS I FACE URGENT SURGERY TO MY SPINE WITH PAIN TO MY NECK RADIATING DOWN MY RIGHT ARM, ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS CHRYSLER. THEY RECALLED 2016-2017 JEEP WRANGLERS FOR FAULTY WIRING OF THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE, AS WELL AS JEEP PATRIOTS AND COMPASSES MADE THE SAME YEAR AS MY VEHICLE ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF OT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED PERIODICALLY, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (SHEETS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, 250 AUTO DR, BECKLEY, WV, 25801, 304-252-4555). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG ABRUPTLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT OR WARNING WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING NOISE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE LEFT ARM, LEFT EAR, BACK, AND NECK, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (PASSENGER AIR BAG). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.
THE HEAT SHIELD BETWEEN THE MUFFLER AND GAS TANK HAS WORN OUT WHERE THE NUTS THAT SECURE IT TO GAS TANK CONTACT THE SHIELD. THE SHIELD HAS CLEARLY DETERIORATED DUE TO NORMAL DRIVING VIBRATION AS THERE ARE NO MOVING PARTS AND THE SHIELD IS NOT REINFORCED WHERE THE NUTS CONTACT IT. I'VE HAD TO ADD LARGE FENDER WASHERS TO COVER THE WORN THRU PORTION OF THE SHIELD BUT THIS WILL NOT BE A LONG TERM SOLUTION AS THE PLATE WILL SIMPLY WEAR OUT WHERE THE NEW WASHERS CONTACT IT.
AT AROUND 49000 MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING. HAD LOCAL DEALER RUN DIAGNOSTICS. THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING SENSOR. TOTAL COST OF PARTS AND LABOR AROUND $600. I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE IT FIXED AT THIS TIME.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND HILL ASSIST ALWAYS LIT. DEALER CONSTANTLY RESETTING AND I WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD NOT TO WORRY AS IT IS PROBABLY "BAD GASOLINE." NOW, NO ACCELERATION AND IS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN ON AN INCLINE IE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP. PRESENTLY, ONE WEEK INTO DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS WITH PRESENT DIAGNOSIS BEING "PROBABLY" CAM SHAFT PHASERS. IMPORTANT TO NOTE ENGINE REPAIRS PREVIOUSLY DONE ONE MONTH OF OWNERSHIP ON BRAND NEW VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON WHILE IN WARRANTY BUT TOLD NOT TO WORRY. NOW, ALMOST COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD. JEEP WILL NOT ASSIST EVEN THOUGH ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND REPORTED TO DEALER (AND DOCUMENTED) WHILE IN WARRANTY. VEHICLE PURCHASED BRAND NEW, NEVER USED "FOUR WHEELING" OR UTILIZED TO TOW. MILEAGE REFLECTS ~ HIGHWAY TRAVEL. RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED THROUGH DEALERSHIP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 25-30 MPH INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS CYCLED OFF AND BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT HOWEVER STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HANLEES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 4318 CHILES ROAD, DAVIS CA, 95618, TEL: 888-349-9763 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS WERE TORQUED INCORRECTLY WHICH CAUSED A LOW OIL PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE IN TURN WENT INTO LIMP MODE TO TRY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOW OIL PRESSURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BE DESTROYED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER; THE CONTACT WAS NOT OFFERED ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.
THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER, ON 5/4/2017, WITH 49000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AN UNUSUAL TICKING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO THE AUTO DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO A FAULTY ENGINE HEAD AND VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. PROBLEM HAS CONSISTENTLY HAPPENED FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERSHIP BUT THEY REFUSED TO GIVE US A DIAGNOSIS OR OFFER A WARRANTY RECALL STATING THE RECALL WOULDN'T APPLY AS THE CAR IS A SALVAGED VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THIS EPISODE AND HAS NOT COME OFF EVER SINCE.
I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 26000 MILES. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD OR DAMAGED. IT RECENTLY STARTED STALLING. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. INITIALLY NONE OF THE DIAGNOSTICS FOUND ANYTHING AND THEY GAVE IT BACK. IT CONTINUED TO STALL WHILE STOPPED AND STALLED, TEMPORARILY, ON THE METRO TRAIN TRACKS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGAIN COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG-BASED ON MY READING I SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE THE TIPM. THE DEALERSHIP DROVE IT AGAIN AND SAID IT DID STALL ON THE MECHANIC. SO THEY FIXED SOMETHING ($700) DEALING WITH THE POWER. I PICKED IT UP AND IT STALLED ON ME AGAIN ON THE NEXT DAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (RIVER OAKS JEEP IN HOUSTON) AND THEY DID NOT RETURN MY CALL. I HAVE ALSO SUBMITTED AN ONLINE REPORT. 2 DAYS AGO, THE JEEP AGAIN STALLED WHILE I WAS REVERSING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. I PUT IT BACK INTO PARK FROM REVERSE AND RESTARTED IT. IT RESTARTED BUT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. I THEN TURNED IT OFF AGAIN, RESTARTED AGAIN AND IT THEN WENT INTO GEAR AND ALLOWED ME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING CARS. THIS PATTERN OF STALLING, BEING UNABLE TO GO BACK INTO GEAR, REQUIRING TURNING IT OFF AND RESTARTING HAS BEEN RECURRENT AND HAS OCCURRED EXACTLY LIKE THAT ABOUT 8 TOTAL TIMES NOW. IT ADDITIONALLY WILL BE FULL OF GAS, GOING AT A CONSISTENT SPEED DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE JUST "GIVES" AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT PAUSES. WHEN IT'S IN MOTION, IT HASN'T ACTUALLY STALLED, ONLY WHEN IDLING OR IN REVERSE.. I FEEL LIKE AT TH
PARKING BREAK WILL NOT HOLD. HAVE HAD THE PARKING BREAK SHOES REPLACED AND ADJUSTED BUT STILL WILL ROLL SLOWLY IF NOT ON A FLAT SURFACE. MINE HAS A MANUEL TRANSMISSION SO I HAVE TO LEAVE IT IN GEAR TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND THEY SAY THIS IS A COMMON JEEP PROBLEM BUT I FILL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE CLUTCH ALSO IS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AFTER ONLY 74,000 MILES OF DRIVING. HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN APRIL 2017.
THE CLOCKSPING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM IN EARLIER MODEL JEEPS BUT NOT ON MY YEAR. I HAVE FOUND OUT THROUGH THE DEALER THAT IT IS THE SAME PART AND SAME NUMBER. I WOULD LIKE MY YEAR JEEP TO BE ENCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS PART BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME PART.
DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS SOME BUMPS OR UNEVEN SURFACE CAUSE CAR TO LURCH. ENGINE SHUTS DOWN TO NO THROTTLE; THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING FOR DRIVER. HAPPENS 2-3 TIMES A MONTH ON SUCH ROADS. I SUSPECT THE SKID CONTROL. WHEN THAT IS TURNED OFF IT DOES NOT DO IT. JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THIS. CAR RECOVERS AFTER 2-3 SECONDS BUT IN MEANTIME THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE CAR BEHIND TO HIT YOU. SO FAR HAVE BEEN LUCKY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS IN CONTACT WITH THE NORRIS TOWN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, A STRONG BURNING ELECTRIC ODOR WAS PERCEIVED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (WATERFRONT JEEP IN MORGAN TOWN, WV) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF COIL FAILURE OR AN ENGINE MISFIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,386. UPDATED 10/24/17*LJ *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, KENDALL JEEP IN MIAMI, FLORIDA, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE SHORTLY RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.
ON 3 OCCASIONS MY JEEP WRANGLER'S ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL WOULD NOT BRING THE PEDAL UP. MANUALLY PULLING THE PEDAL WOULD NOT MAKE A CHANGE. TWICE I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR IN MID TRAFFIC. THE THIRD TIME I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER OF 2011. BY APRIL MY WIFE STARTED TO HAVE CONTINUOUS VISITS TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR RESPIRATORY ISSUES. EVENTUALLY I TOOK OUT THE CARPETS AND FOUND IT THERE WAS WATER LEAKING INSIDE THE VEHICLE ON SOME OCCASIONS AFTER IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS ALLEGEDLY FIXED, THERE WAS STANDING WATER ABOUT THREE INCHES IN THE FOOTWELL ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAD TO TAKE OUT THE DRAIN PLUGS AND DRAIN THE WATER THE CARPET IS INFESTED WITH MOLD AND MILDEW. MY FAMILY CANNOT MAKE EXTENDED TRIPS IN THE VEHICLE UNLESS I THOROUGHLY VACUUMED DRY AND WIPE EVERY CREVICE OF THE VEHICLE DOWN. I HAVE SEEN THE LEAKING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY I'VE ALSO SEEN THE VEHICLE LEAKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER OF AMERICA) ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WAS INFORMED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHICH I'VE ALREADY DONE SO I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY AND I'VE TALKED TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY STATED SINCE THE VEHICLES OUT OF WARRANTY THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IN AND PAY NUMEROUS FEES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIX THE VEHICLE FROM LEAKING WHICH THEY HAVE REPLACE THE SEALS ON THE DOOR ONCE AND THAT HAS NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR THAT THE OWNER WHO HAS REALLY TAKEN THE VEHICLE OUT OFFROAD THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY TOUCHED SAND AND GRAVEL ROADS AND HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING EXTREME. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW FROM FCA DEALERSHIPS ARE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF FAMILY'S HEALTH AND SAF
THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WILL TURN ON AT RANDOM. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE CRUISE CONTROL IS DISABLED, ENGINE POWER DECREASED AND THE GAS PEDAL RENDERED ALMOST USELESS. I CANNOT SAFELY ACCELERATE ONTO A INTERSTATE FREEWAY. WHEN THE HIGHWAY GOES UPHILL, THE JEEP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MAINTAIN SPEED DESPITE DOWNSHIFTING. CASE IN POINT; I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE ON A HIGHWAY. I LOOKED IN MY MIRROR AND SAW A SEMI- TRUCK COMING IN MY LANE. I LOOKED OVER TO THE FAST LANE AND IT WAS FULL OF CARS. I KNEW THE TRUCK WILL OVER COME ME AND IT HAD NO OPTION TO MOVE INTO THE FAST LANE. TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED, I PULLED THE JEEP OVER TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN I DID THAT, THE SEMI TRUCK PASSED ME ON MY LEFT. THERE IS A BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE STABILITY CONTROL BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. ANOTHER SITUATION; I WENT OFF ROAD IN VERY SANDY SOIL. THE STABILITY CONTROL WENT ON AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. BECAUSE OF THAT, I WAS NOT ABLE TO APPLY POWER TO THE WHEELS THUS I GOT STUCK IN THE SAND OVER TEN TIMES IN A VERY REMOTE AREA WHERE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POSSIBILITY OF HELP.
I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON 10/5/15, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, WHEN MY JEEP SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING IT TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A DITCH. THE JEEP HIT THE FRONT END OF THE DITCH AT AN ANGLE THAT LAUNCHED IT AIRBORNE, THEN LANDED ON THE CEMENT WALL OF A CULVERT APPROXIMATELY TWO FEET AWAY. THE JEEP BOUNCED TWICE ON THE CEMENT WALL, CRACKING THE FRAME IN TWO PLACES, THEN LANDED IN THE CULVERT, HIT THE FRONT END OF THE CULVERT, THEN HIT A SMALL POLE WHERE IT FINALLY STOPPED. DESPITE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE TIME, NOTHING IN THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE WORKING. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEATBELTS DID NOT ENGAGE, CAUSING ME TO SLAM MY FOREHEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH EACH IMPACT (3-4 TIMES, I HONESTLY DON'T RECALL) AND HITTING MY CHEST ONCE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AFTER THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING, AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED. AFTER A NUMBER OF FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM, THEY HAVE REFUSED TO RETURN MY CALLS OR ACKNOWLEDGE MY COMPLAINTS. I AM NOW AWARE OF A NUMBER OF RECALLS REGARDING THE ORC MODULE IN MANY CHRYSLER VEHICLES, AND WONDER IF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN MY ACCIDENT. I SUFFERED A SEVERE CONCUSSION AND WAS OUT OF WORK FOR THREE MONTHS. I HAD TO QUIT MY SECOND JOB, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL STRAIN ON MY FAMILY. I HAVE SINCE HAD CHRONIC NECK PAIN AND MIGRAIN
OIL COOLING HOUSING LEAKING,, WAS TOLD THE REPLACEMENT PART WOULD BE IN 2-3 WEEKS,, I WENT AHEAD AND PAID FOR THE PART,, HERE IT IS 4/20/2017 AND WAS TOLD PART IS ON PART ORDER.

JEEP HAD RANDOM "JOLT" WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT SPEED. THEN A REALLY HARD JOLT IN FEBRUARY THAT STALLED THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH. WOULD NOT START FOR 10 MINUTES, THEN DID. I HAVE TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO SAY THAT THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOT SAFE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT.

WHILE STOPPED EXITING A PLAZA I TURNED ON MY TURN SIGNAL AND IT DIDN'T TURN ON AT ALL. IT WAS OPERATIONAL WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PLAZA A SHORT WHILE BEFORE. THEN WHEN PARKED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD ALSO NOT TURN ON WITH THE SAME CONTROL STALK. THE NEXT DAY THE OTHER CONTROL STALK THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HORN WHEN PRESSED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WERE NOT WORKING. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL. I RESEARCHED RECALLS AND SAW RECALLS ON THE CLOCK SPRING INVOLVING THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. I THEN TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE LIN BUS FAILURE INTERNAL TO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ALSO THE LIGHTS ON THE WINDOW SWITCHES HAVE ALL SLOWLY STOPPED WORKING OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. ALONG WITH THE CABLE FROM THE ANTENNA TO THE RADIO HAS BROKEN LEAVING ME WITH NO AM/FM RADIO. MY JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN STUCK IN THE RAIN WITH THE TOP OFF, HAS SUFFERED NO WATER DAMAGE, HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS, HAVE BEEN DRIVEN WITH CARE DUE TO THE FACT I LOVE IT AND PAID A PRETTY PENNY FOR IT. I'VE KEPT UP WITH OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATION GETTING A VEHICLE INSPECTIONS EVERY 3,000 MILES. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOING BAD ON 2012 JEEP WRANGLERS. THIS IS ISSUE SHOULD BE REEVALUATED BY NHTSA AND CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU HAVE LOYAL JEEP OWNERS WHO VALUE THEIR JEEPS AND DON'T WANT TO DRIVE ANYTHING ELSE, BUT WE A

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AN HOUR THE ENGINE STALLED AND I LOST THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD NOT START. WE PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THEM, ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, TRYING TO GET IT IN A POSITION FOR THE WRECKER, MY WIFE TRIED TO START IT AND IT RESTARTED. WE DROVE IT HOME AND HAD A WRECKER COME GET IT BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT 20 MINUTES TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FELT LIKE IS WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT. I PICKED IT UP AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND DID THE EXACT SAME THING EXCEPT THIS TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE INSIDE LANE AND PULLED OVER. TRIED TO RESTART IT AND AFTER WAITING 10 TO 15 MINUTES IT RESTARTED AGAIN. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW WITH THEM TRYING TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. *TR
