2012 Jeep Wrangler complaints

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE COLLISION, WITH "MULTIPLE FRONT END IMPACTS" AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED TO THE RIGHT I HYDROPLANED (THIS IS MY BEST GUESS AND VEERED TO THE SHOULDER. THE STREET IS NARROW, WITH ONLY A VERY THIN SHOULDER. THE JEEP THEN WENT OFF THE ROAD, DROVE THROUGH A DEEP RAIN-FILLED DITCH, HIT THE FRONT END OF THAT DITCH, LAUNCHING THE JEEP AIRBORNE. DURING THAT IMPACT, THE FRONT AXLE WAS RIPPED OFF. I THEN LANDED IN ANOTHER DITCH (A CULVERT WITH 2 CEMENT WALLS), WHERE THE JEEP BOUNCED TWICE ON THE CEMENT WALL, CRACKING THE FRAME EACH TIME, THEN LANDED IN THE DITCH, WHERE I KEPT GOING UNTIL I HIT A SMALL CONSTRUCTION POLE. MY JEEP HAD THE ADDITIONAL SIDE AIRBAG PACKAGE. DESPITE THE SEVERITY OF THE CRASH, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND MY SEAT BELT NEVER TIGHTENED. THIS RESULTED IN ME BEING THROWN FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS MULTIPLE TIMES (AT LEAST 3 THAT I RECALL). I SUFFERED A TBI, AND MISSED 2.5 MONTHS OF WORK. I HAD TO QUIT MY SECOND JOB. I HAVE ALSO HAD ONGOING NECK PAIN, INITIALLY THOUGHT TO BE MUSCULAR. AN MRI RECENTLY COMPLETED SHOWS DISK HERNIATION OF C3-C6.

THE TIPM UNIT WENT OUT, CAUSING LOTS OF ISSUES. THE ISSUES WE'RE AWARE OF ARE: THE DOORS WOULDN'T LOCK, SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN PARK, RADIO/CD/BLUETOOTH WOULDN'T WORK, AND THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS WOULDN'T TURN OFF LEADING TO A COMPLETE DRAIN OF THE BATTERY. THANKFULLY, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT (IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF IT DID). IT COST US $1100.00 TO REPLACE THE TIPM UNIT, WHICH WAS A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON US, BUT EVEN WORSE WAS THAT WE HAD TO GO WITHOUT THE JEEP (ONE OF OUR MAIN MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION) FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS BECAUSE THERE'S A WAITING LIST FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. WE CHECKED WITH 3 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS JUST TO BE SURE, AND ALL SAID THE SAME THING: 1.) THAT THERE'S A WAITING LIST AT LEAST 40 PEOPLE LONG FOR THIS TIPM UNIT, AND 2.) THAT THEY'VE BEEN SEEING JEEP WRANGLERS LEFT & RIGHT FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM, AND THERE'S A WAITING LIST BECAUSE THE PART CAN'T EVEN BE MANUFACTURED QUICKLY ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND. I KNOW THE TIPM UNIT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR JEEP CHEROKEES, BUT WHY NOT JEEP WRANGLER WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY A MAJOR ISSUE FOR IT AS WELL??

THE CLOCK SPRING HAS WAS REPLACED ONCE AT PARTIAL COST TO ME. IT IS NOW OUT AGAIN. NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON, AND IT AFFECTS THE WAY I'M DRIVING.

ON 04/09/16, THE WIPERS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING, AND DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY, AND ON HIGH BEAM. HAVE TO UNHOOK BATTERY TERMINAL IN ORDER TO GET LIGHT TO GO OUT. WAS TOLD THE TIPM TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE HAS FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, A LOUD TICKING NOSE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ENGINE CYLINDER NUMBER TWO MISFIRED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE COOLING SYSTEM HAD SAND IN IT FROM THE FACTORY CAUSING THE RADIATOR TO BURST, THE TRANSMISSION COOLER AND HEATER SYSTEM TO PLUG UP AND NOT WORK. THERE IS A FACTORY SERVICE BULLETIN ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM AND AS I WAS STRANDED WHEN RADIATOR BLEW OUT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE TO BE STRANDED IN NOWHERE.

I WAS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. SPECIFICALLY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NOT WORKING. IT WAS SNOWING OUTSIDE AND THEY JUST WOULDN'T WORK. I HAD TO MANUALLY GET OUT OF MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO CLEAR THE SNOW BEFORE I MADE IT HOME. I GOT THE MOTOR REPLACED BUT IT THEY STILL WERE NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT MY ENTIRE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) "WENT BAD". THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COULD NOT ORDER THE PART BECAUSE ITS ON BACK-ORDER. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ESTIMATED TIME OF DELIVERY. THE TIPM CONTROLS ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS ON MY VEHICLE AND I CAN NOT DRIVE WITHOUT IT. IT IS A 2012 SO I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS PART IS FAILING, LET ALONE UNAVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. FURTHERMORE THE PART ALONE IS $850 AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE FOR THIS PART BEING DEFECTIVE BUT IT ONLY COVERED CERTAIN MAKES/ YEARS.

THERE SEEM TO BE A NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE MOSTLY AROUND THE DOOR LOCKING FAILURE; THE HORN AND THE TOUCH RADIO

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, ONCE IT REACHES THE FULL POINT, IT FAILS TO TRIGGER THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP IN TIME AND FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE REAR FENDER. IT DOES THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP.

I TOOK MY 2012 JEEP INTO A DEALER SPIRIT DODGE IN SWEDESBORO NJ 08085 SATURDAY 2/27/16 MY COMPLAINT WAS NO HEAT. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDS A HEATER CORE A RADIATOR, AND TRANS COOLER. AND THAT MY EASY CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS IT COVERS HEAT. MY EASY CARE CONTRACT NUMBER IS EGTK886782. MY JEEP HAS 52000 MILES. THEY SAID IT HAS SLUDGE IN THE SYSTEM. NOW MY SYSTEM IS NOT SCHUELDED TO BE CLEANED FLUSHED TILL 60 MONTH. SO IT FAILED BEFORE THE TIME. I WAS TOLD IT'S A KNOW PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THEM. I BOUGHT THE JEEP AT VANN DODGE IN VINELAND NJ. SO I REALLY FEEL CHEATED. I HAVE HAD NO HEAT FOR A WHILE BUT I DIDN'T REPORT RIGHT AWAY

TPIM MODULE HAS FAILED CAUSING SEVERAL STRANGE ISSUES WITH THE CAR. MOST NOTABLE FOR SAFETY IS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER PUMP WILL NOT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,644.

AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL M031 IN EARLY 2012. THE PART RECALLED HAD FAILED AGAIN CAUSING AIRBAG LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED, LOSS OF SPEED CONTROL, LOSS OF STEERING WHEEL AUDIO CONTROLS, LOSS OF HORN, AND LOSS OF "STEP" AND "RESET BUTTONS FOR THE INFORMATION CENTER. THIS ISSUE STARTED OUT WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE LEFT OR RIGHT POSITION AND WITHIN A FEW WEEKS HAS BECAME A CONSTANT PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL.

3RD GEAR DROPS INTO 4TH GEAR VERY EASILY AT TIMES WHEN STANDING STILL. IN 4WD LOW IF YOU THINK YOU IN NEUTRAL BUT ARE IN 4TH GEAR WHEN RELEASING THE CLUTCH WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE DRIVE FORWARD. THIS COULD BE LIFE THREATENING.

TIPM FAILURE. THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WASN'T OPERATING THE ENGINE COOLING FAN (RADIATOR FAN). THE COOLING FAN MODULE ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND A FAILED TIPM COULD CAUSE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY, WINDOW OPENING FAILURE, RANDOM HORN ALARMS, STABILITY CONTROL PROBLEMS, AND MORE. AN ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THE POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (PART NUMBER 68244883AA) AND THE COOLING FAN MODULE (PART NUMBER 68143894AB) HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY HAD FAILED.

TIPM FAILURE. FAILURE ALSO AFFECTED STARTER AND STEERING MODULE. INITIALLY VEHICLES LIGHTS AND HORN WOULD GO ON WITHOUT VEHICLE TURNED ON. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES. AC AND HEATER WOULD SHUT DOWN AND RESTART. ON THESE INSTANCES, DEALERSHIP WAS ADVISED, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A CODE PROBLEM AND CODES WERE RESET. LATELY VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AT BOTH HIGH AND SLOW SPEEDS CAUSING A HAZARD IN TRAFFIC. FROM A START POSITION VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD DIE OUT IN TRAFFIC OR TURNOVER THEN DIE OUT AS IF FUEL PUMP WAS FAILING. INSTRUMENTATION PANEL WOULD FLASH AND MALFUNCTION NOT ALLOWING DRIVER TO SEE WHAT GEAR INDICATION WAS SHOWING. VEHICLE POWER STEERING WOULD FAIL AT VARIOUS SPEEDS CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. LAST INSTANCE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS. DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER ADVISED. REMEDY FROM EACH IS "WE ARE LOOKING FOR PARTS, DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR CAN GIVE YOU A REPAIR DATE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT DEALER SINCE BEING TOWED IN. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO GIVE ANY ASSISTANCE. INITIAL COST OF REPAIR QUOTED AT $1100.00+. OWNER REFUSED TO PAY THIS AMOUNT SINCE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. DEALERSHIP WILL LOWER COSTS TO $250.00. STILL UNACCEPTABLE DUE TO CHRYSLERS REFUSAL TO ADMIT A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF AND HAVE HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR ONLY AFTER THREAT OF LAWSUIT. BUT THEY HAVE LIMITED IT TO ONLY SPECIFIC MODELS AND YEARS. PROBLEM GOES BACK TO 2007. VEHICLE IN WITH T

12 JKRU 52,000 MILES. IT FIRST HAPPENED AT NIGHT WHILE WIFE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE JEEP WENT CRAZY MODE ALL LIGHTS IN CLUSTER ILLUMINATED WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING AND WITH HOT OIL MSG, WARNING DINGS GOING OFF, HEARD ELECTRIC FAN RUNNING . IT SEEMED THAT NOTHING WAS CONTROLLABLE, AUTO TRANS WENT INTO AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. SCARED THE HELL OUT OF MY WIFE. GOT HOME AFTER SHUT OFF I TRIED TO RESTART BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I DISCONNECTED BATTERY TO RESET CPU THAT DID NOT WORK. I STOPPED BY AUTO ZONE TO GET CODES SCANNED . THEY TOLD ME EVERY SYSTEM WAS REPORTING FAILURE AND NEEDS TO GO TO DEALER. AFTER RESTART EVERY THING WAS NORMAL. AFTER 100 YARDS DOWN THE STREET IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN. PULLED INTO STORE PARKING LOT, TURNED JEEP OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART TILL 4TH TRY. DROVE IT STRAIT TO DEALER IN FIRST GEAR WITH ALL. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS TIPM AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY, GAVE MA A RENTAL CAR FOR 10 DAYS BECAUSE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. AFTER 10 DAYS CHRYSLER QUIT PAYING FOR RENTAL CAR AND STILL HAVE NO PART TO FIX JEEP IT HAS BEEN 16 DAYS. I GUESS THERE ARE ALOT OF FAILURES FOR THE TIPM CAUSING BACK ORDER AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET ONE.

2012 JEEP WRANGLER WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED WITH THE EBRAKE UP. I LET UP ON THE CLUTCH AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE. AS SOON AS MY FEET HIT THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED AND DROVE 60 FT, CRASHING COMPLETELY THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR AND RIPPING IT OFF. JEEP CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PROPERLY FUNCTIONING CONDITION SINCE THEY CANNOT REPEAT THIS INDEPENDENT ACCELERATION.

THE HORN DOES NOT WORK. ALL CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE NOT WORKING. (CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO VOLUME AND TUNING, RESET BUTTONS) THE SIGNAL LIGHTS DO NOT TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON. A DIAGNOSTICS WAS PERFORMED SHOWING CLOCK SPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. MY JEEP IS A RIGHT-HAND DRIVE WHICH I USE FOR MAIL DELIVERY. CHRYSLER COVERED THE COST WITH HALF A WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME. THIS WAS AUGUST 2014 WITH 68000 MILES. THE SECOND TIME WAS DECEMBER 2015 WITH 86000 MILES. CHRYSLER IS SAYING THEY CAN NOT HELP. THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL ON OTHER RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS IN MY POST OFFICE. MINE IS DOING THE SAME THING, THEREFORE I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED FULLY TO BE REPLACED.

AIR BAG LIGHT AND WARNING IS GOING ON AND OFF WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. DEALER SAYS THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A RECALL ON RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES AND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF ALL CLOCK SPRINGS FAILING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS CASTING SAND IN THE COOLING SYSTEM, WHICH CLOGGED UP THE RADIATOR, THE WATER PUMP, OIL COOLER, HEATER CORE, AND THE COOLING PART OF THE ENGINE. THE DEALER STATED THAT ALL THE CLOGGED PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE COLLISION, WITH "MULTIPLE FRONT END IMPACTS" AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH, WHEN I HYDROPLANED (THIS IS MY BEST GUESS, I REALLY DON'T NOTE WHAT HAPPENED), AND VEERED TO THE SHOULDER. THE JEEP THEN WENT OFF THE ROAD, DROVE THROUGH A DEEP RAIN-FILLED DITCH, HIT THE FRONT END OF THAT DITCH, LAUNCHING THE JEEP AIRBORNE. DURING THAT IMPACT, THE FRONT AXLE WAS RIPPED OFF. I THEN LANDED IN ANOTHER DITCH (A CULVERT WITH 2 CEMENT WALLS), WHERE THE JEEP BOUNCED TWICE ON THE CEMENT WALL, CRACKING THE FRAME EACH TIME, THEN LANDED IN THE DITCH, WHERE I KEPT GOING UNTIL I HIT A SMALL CONSTRUCTION POLE. MY JEEP HAD THE ADDITIONAL SIDE AIRBAG PACKAGE. DESPITE THE SEVERITY OF THE CRASH, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND MY SEAT BELT NEVER TIGHTENED. THIS RESULTED IN ME BEING THROWN FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS MULTIPLE TIMES (AT LEAST 3 THAT I RECALL). I SUFFERED A TBI, AND MISSED 2.5 MONTHS OF WORK. I HAD TO QUIT MY SECOND JOB. I HAVE ALSO HAD ONGOING NECK PAIN, INITIALLY THOUGHT TO BE MUSCULAR. AN MRI RECENTLY COMPLETED SHOWS DISK HERNIATION OF C3-C6.

YESTERDAY WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP TO THE GAS STATION ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TURNING ON AND THE JEEPS BATTERY LIGHT TURNED ON. KNOWING THAT IT COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ALTERNATOR I HEADED HOME IMMEDIATELY. A BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THE BATTERY FINALLY DIED THANKFULLY SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT WAS DARK OUT AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND IT IS THE ALTERNATOR. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR A PENTASTAR 3.6 L V6 ALTERNATORS BUT I'M BEING TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BY SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDING MY VEHICLE FROM THE RECALL THEY HAVE RISKED MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE AROUND ME.

FAULTY TIPM.. HAVING TROUBLE WITH VEHICLE NOT STARTING. THE STARTING ISSUE STARTED IN 10/2015 BUT WASN'T A REGULAR ISSUE TIL 01/2016. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AS IS IS A NEWER MODEL WITH ONLY 27000 MILES ON IT. THEY REPLACED A SENTRY MODULE..PROBLEM PERSISTED. NOW BEING TOLD IT'S THE TIPM. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO REPORT IT.. STILL WAITING TO SEE IF COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY..

2012 JEEP WRANGLER HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT TROUBLE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. TURN CAR OFF AND HEADLIGHTS STAY ON. FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT IF I TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND ROLL FORWARD A LITTLE I CAN SOMETIMES TURN LIGHTS OFF. SAME PROBLEM TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS ON. ROLLING THE CAR A FEW INCHES USUALLY CORRECTED THE HEADLIGHTS. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL START ON THEIR OWN OR STOP DURING USE WITH NO WARNING. THIS BEGAN IN LATE 2014 BUT THE PROBLEM WAS SO INTERMITTANT WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND UNTIL AUGUST 2015. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH AND WIRING HARNESS BUT BEFORE WE EVEN DROVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT BOTH THE LIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE DOING THE SAME THING. THEY KEPT IT A FEW DAYS AND "SEALED THE CLUSTER". DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THE CAR IS NOW 700 MILES AWAY AT SCHOOL WITH DAUGHTER. AROUND SEPT 2015 INTERMITTENT ISSUES AGAIN BUT NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE AT DEALER. RECENTLY (JAN 2016) THE PROBLEMS ARE DAILY AND INCLUDE THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT EVERY TIME THE CAR MAKES A TURN AND THEN COME BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER. IN ADDITION THE TURN SIGNAL CUTS OFF. WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN BUT THE LIGHTS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS PROBLEM. NOW THAT THE PROBLEM IS CONSTANT IT'S GOING BACK TO A DEALER BUT BECAUSE THE CAR IS WITH DAUGHTER AWAY AT SCHOOL IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT DEALER. WE ARE UNCERTAIN ABOUT TAIL LIGHTS BECAUSE THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND INTERMITTENTLY BUT THE HEADLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING THROUGH

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON MY RESIDENTIAL STREET MY ENGINE STALLED AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I HAD NO POWER FOR LIGHTS, FLASHERS, TURN SIGNALS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, ETC. BASICALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY DEAD. I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO PUSH THE JEEP TO MY RESIDENCE AND CHECKED THE BATTERY AND I HAD FULL VOLTAGE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY TIPM. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE DOING INTERSTATE SPEEDS AT NIGHT...

VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER STARTING ENGINE AND DRIVING 30 FEET FROM INITIAL PARKED LOCATION. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND EXPLOSION OCCURRED UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVER WAS STILL IN VEHICLE. NO PREVIOUS INDICATION THERE WAS ANY ISSUE WITH VEHICLE. UPON DRIVER EMERGENCY EXIT OF VEHICLE, FURTHER EXPLOSIONS AND LARGE FLAMES ENGULFED THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE WITHIN MINUTES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,500.

RIGHT AFTER 36 MONTH MARK (BUT BELOW 30,000MI MARK), AN AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT WENT ON. IT WOULD STAY ON FOR THE DURATION OF A TRIP OR EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED WITH ENGINE IDLING. MY VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN COLLISIONS, FENDER-BENDERS, OR OTHERWISE EXPERIENCED ANY INSULTS TO THE AIR BAG SENSORS OR WIRING. I HAD 7YR/75,000MI WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER THAT ALLEGEDLY COVERS ALL MAJOR COMPONENTS AND ELECTRONICS. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT COVER THE AIR BAGS. THAT IS, CHRYSLER THEREFORE DOES NOT CONSIDER AIR BAGS A MAJOR COMPONENT. AS A CONSUMER, SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS AND I IS A MAJOR ISSUE. THUS, I ENDED UP PAYING NEARLY $1,000 TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. I AM HEARING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM WRANGLER OWNERS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

FAULTY CLOCKSPRING AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARS SPORADICALLY WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I HAVE SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, NOTIFYING ME THAT THEIR AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. HORNS VOLUME IS WEAK. POSSIBLY A COINCIDENCE, BUT THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE ALERT APPEARS AT START-UP. ALL TIRES (GOODYEAR LT285/70R17) READ 45-50 PSI. THIS PART IS RECALLED IN 2007 AND 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS, BUT NOT FOR 2009-2016. IT IS THE EXACT SAME PART.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN SHUT OFF, WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD NOT PASS BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR VEHICLE, AND THAT THERE MAY BE AN INVESTIGATION IN REGARDS TO IT. THE PROBLEM THAT WAS DIAGNOSED WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE CLOCK SPRING/STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING FOR A TOTAL OF $518.31 OUT-OF-POCKET

HAD TO REPLACE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS ON MY WRANGLER AND MY WIFE'S 2012 WRANGLER. BOTH ARE RHD. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SHAME ON JEEP

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE HEAD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,500.

I'M BEING THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS UNIT & I HAD CHANGED THE OIL ON TIME. A VALVE LIFTER IS SOUNDING VERY HARD, I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE'S A RECALL FOR THAT MATTER, CAUSE I KNOW A BUNCH OF WRANGLER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING AND STAR RAINING. TURN ON THE WIPER ,NO FUNCTION I CHECK WASHER, NOT WORKING. THEN I NOTICE NO HEAD LIGHTS,NO HORN'S,NO TAIL LIGHTS. 4 WAYS AND BRAKES LIGHT DOES WORK.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE LEFT STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS QUIT WORKING, LATER ALL STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS QUIT WORKING. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH WAS UP UNTIL MODELS MANUFACTURED IN NOVEMBER 2011. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. MINE IS A RIGHT HAND DRIVE MANUFACTURED IN MARCH 2012. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT HAPPENED OUT OF WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE CLEANING THE VEHICLE AND REMOVING THE FLOOR MAT, THE FLOOR WAS SATURATED WITH WATER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000....UPDATED 03-10-16 *BF UPDATED 05/09/18 *JB *CN

I JEEP PURCHASED THE JEEP NOV. 2, 2015. I JUST STARTED DRIVING THE JEEP. I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK IT A POTHOLE AND THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY LIKE MY FRONTED WAS GOING TO COME APART AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOBBLED AND VIBRATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE DRY SHAFT, THE TIRES WERE BALANCED, AND A LARGER U JOINT ON THE DRY SHAFT WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

BASICALLY GOING 80 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR DECIDES TO SHUT OFF, ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS. FORCING US TO STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL A TOW, KEEP IN MIND THIS ALL HAPPENED AT 2 AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A DARK EMPTY HIGHWAY. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND AFTER RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTICS THEY TELL ME IT IS A FAULTY TIPM. NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME A $1,000 IN REPAIRS TO REPLACE A PART THAT COMES FAULTY FROM THE FACTORY.

DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 10/30/2015 AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES UNATTENDED, THE PARKING BRAKE SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, COMING TO REST AFTER HITTING A TREE IN THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD. THE LOCAL POLICE WERE NOTIFIED; NO REPORT FILED DUE TO THE ONLY PRIVATE PROPERTY INVOLVED. INJURIES TO THE OWNER WHEN TRYING TO CATCH THE VEHICLE INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: SEVERE FACIAL TRAUMA AND LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, DISLOCATED LEFT SHOULDER REQUIRING SURGERY, BROKEN 4TH AND 5TH RIBS, BROKEN BONE IN LEFT HAND.

THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE: I CANNOT DRIVE OVER 55 MPH WITHOUT THE WOBBLE OCCURRING. NEW TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THERE APPEARS TO BE HUNDREDS OF REFERENCES TO THIS PROBLEM ON LINE. WHEN WILL JEEP OFFER A SOLUTION?

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE RIGHT SIDE TIRE BRAKE ENGAGED AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND HIT A BRICK SIGN WITH MY RIGHT SIDE AT ABOUT 25 MPH. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY, AND MY FRONT END IS COMPLETELY DESTROY.

SEVERAL PROBLEMS OCCURRED ELECTRONICALLY WITH MY WRANGLER IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. 1. HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE STORE 2. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (4CYL. MISFIRE) BUT CLEARED ITSELF AFTER 100 MILES 3. WHILE SITTING IDLE AT A RED LIGHT, THE DASH WARNING LIGHT LIT UP AND FLICKERED AS WELL AS CHIMED FOR A MINUTE. 4. WHILE CRUISING ON THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 70MPH, THE JEEP SHUT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED BACK ON BEFORE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME.

CAR LOST ALL POWER WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A BUSY STREET. THE ISSUE TURNED OUT TO BE A DEFECTIVE TIPM WHICH COST OVER $1100 TO REPAIR.

MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED WRONG... MY ENGINE BLOCK IS CASTING SAND INTO MY COOLANT SYSTEM WHICH THEN BLOWS OUT MY HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. I HAVE SPENT 5 MONTHS UNDER WARRENTY TRYING TO FIX WITH ISSUE BUT THE JEEP DEALER AND CHRYSLER GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND. I WAS TRYING TO GET THIS FIX UNDER WARRENTY BUT ALL THE RUN AROUND I GOT FROM THE DEALERS HAS CAUSED MY WARRANTY TO EXPIRE WITH NO FIX. I THINK I HAVE BOUGHT A LAMON OF A CAR I ONLY HAVE 14K MILES , MY ISSUE STARTED AT 7K MILES. NOW IT IS WINTER TIME AND IN DRIVING MY CAR WITH NO HEAT. I HAVE A NEW BORN BABY ON THE WAY WHO WILL GET SICK INSIDE MY CAR. JEEP DOES NOT WANT TO COVER THE COST OF MY REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR ALSO A COMPLETE FLUSH OF THIS SAND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THIS IS A HAZARD FOR ME AND MY BABY TO DRIVE AROUND IN THIS COLD VEHICLE . THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT JEEP\CHRYSLER IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO KEEP THIS QUIET. ILL BE TRYING TO CONTACT A LAWYER SOON OR MAYBE A NEWS STATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. ....UPDATED 12/11/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. UPDATED 01/28/16.*JB

TIPM FAILURE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC VEHICLE STALLED CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TAILGATE SWINGS BEYOND ALLOWABLE LIMIT, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE, CAUSING THE SWING ARM TO BREAK, BRAKE LIGHT TO CRACK AND INTERIOR TRIM PANELS TO BE DAMAGED.
