2012 Jeep Wrangler complaints

DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK USING FOB OR ROCKER SWITCH / WINDSHIELD WASHER WILL NOT WORK/ HEATER WILL NOT WORK/ RADIO DIMS WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON/ DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN ON UPON OPENING DOOR

CONFIRMED BAD CLOCKSPRING UNIT BY DEALERSHIP THAT CONTROLS THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. UNIT WAS NOT EXPOSED TO ANYTHING EXTREME LIKE WATER OR HEAT BUT JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED THE SENSOR LIGHT GOES BACK OFF SO THE SENSOR TURNS ON AND OFF WITH REGULAR DRIVING ON ANY ROAD OR CONDITION.

JUST OVER A MONTH AGO I WAS GOING TO WORK, AND NOTICED THAT MY TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT WORKING. I TRIED MOVING THE TURN SIGNAL UP AND DOWN TO NO AVAIL. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON. I PULLED OVER AND THOUGHT MAYBE A FUSE WENT BAD OR SOMETHING AND FOUND EVERY SINGLE FUSE TO BE FINE. I THEN ALSO NOTICED THAT THE DIGITAL COMPASS READOUT ON THE DASH WAS NOT FUNCTIONING, AND I COULD NOT SCROLL THROUGH THE MENUS WITH THE MAIN COMPUTER USING THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD WORK PROPERLY...AND THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH PROPERLY WHEN I LOCKED THE DOORS WITH MY KEY FOB...WHICH TOLD ME THAT THE CIRCUIT WAS STILL WORKING. AFTER ABOUT 25 MINUTES OF FIDDLING EVERYTHING SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE AT WORK I WENT TO LUNCH, AND WHEN I RETURNED TO WORK AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY TURNED ON WITHOUT ME TURNING THEM ON...AND I COULD NOT GET THEM TO TURN OFF...EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET THEM TO GO OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS THE TIPM I FIGURED WELL...NOW I DO HAVE A NEW UNIT AND SHOULD BE FINE. THAT FANTASY WAS DESTROYED YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT TO GO HOME FROM WORK, AND SUDDENLY MY LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON...THEN GOT STUCK ON AND COULDN'T TURN THEM OFF...AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ALL...AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT FUNCTION...ALL WHILE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I LIVE IN VIRGINIA, AND WE ARE IN THE MIDDL

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER (JACK KEY MOTORS) WHO I CALLED 5 TIMES TO GET THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. I WAS EITHER TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE KIT BECAUSE THE DEALER WAS ONLY GIVEN SO MANY, OR THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK TO SET UP A TIME, AS WELL AS I WENT THERE AND WAITED 20 MIN FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER TO GO "SEE" IF HE HAD A KIT, BUT AFTER 20 MINUTES OF WAITING I LEFT.SO I CALLED ANOTHER DEALER 39 MILES FROM MY TOWN, THEY ARE GETTING ME RIGHT IN. I FIND IS UNEXCEPTIONABLY, AS I AM A SERVICE WRITER IN A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP.AS WELL PAID OVER 35,000 DOLLARS FOR A JEEP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V631000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 40MPH WHEN THE CLUTCH INADVERTENTLY WENT OUT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MIGHT BE A GREATER PROBLEM RELATED TO THE FLYWHEEL AND THE RELATED CLUTCH ASSEMBLY OF THESE FACTORY PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE. I ONLY USE THIS VEHICLE TO COMMUTE IN THE CITY AND MY DRIVING HABITS ARE MILD. I DO NOT USE THIS VEHICLE OFF-ROAD AND I LIVE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA WHICH IS INCREDIBLY FLAT. THE CLUTCH AND SURROUNDING ASSEMBLY SHOULD NOT DEFECT AT 40K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED UP A HILL AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FOUR BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

WHEN IT RAINS OR I WASH THE 3 PC HARD TOP LEAKS HEAVY RAIN AND I HAVE 1-2 INCHES OF STANDING WATER IN FLOOR PANS I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE ON JEEP OWNER FORUMS AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WET MUSTY SMELL DURING HOT WEATHER. NOT GOOD AT ALL

I WAS OPERATING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED SPEED CONTROL. THE SPEED CONTROL FAILED TO TURN ON, SO I PRESSED THE BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES AND FOUND THAT IT WOULD NOT ACTIVATE (TURN ON AND SHOW "CRUISE" ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER). APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR LATER I PRESSED THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON SEVERAL MORE TIMES, AND IT EVENTUALLY SHOWED "CRUISE" IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. I WAS THEN ABLE TO SET THE SPEED CONTROL TO 70 MPH. AFTER TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET, I ATTEMPTED TO SHUT IT OFF UTILIZING THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED BUTTON. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DEACTIVATE BY PRESSING THE ON / OFF BUTTON. I WAS APPROACHING AN EXIT, AND WAS ABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY UTILIZING THE VEHICLES BRAKES, HOWEVER THE I COULD NOT SHUT THE POWER TO THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF UNTIL I SHUT THE JEEP IGNITION OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL POWER BUTTON NOW WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL ACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL POWER, SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE UTILIZING THE VEHICLE FEATURE DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONSISTENTLY SHUT IT OFF. I HAVE CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON JEEP FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE FORUMS HAVE STATED THAT MANY JEEPS HAVE DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRINGS.

AFTER DRIVING SOME NATIONAL FOREST GRAVEL ROADS IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS IN WASHINGTON STATE, MY AIR BAG DASH BOARD INDICATING LIGHT TURNED ON. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC EAMINATION OF THE CAR AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAR'S TIPM COMPUTER HAD FAILED INTERNALLY AND WAS NO LONGER SUPPLYING POWER TO THE AIRBAGS AND THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW TIPM AND QUOTED ME A PRICE OF ABOUT $1,400. I DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND DISCOVERED OTHER PEOPLE HAD ALSO EXPERIENCED EARLY TIPM COMPUTER FAILURES. FAILURE OF TIPM IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT DISABLES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AS HAS HAPPENED ON MY JEEP.

FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE AIR CONDITION AND DEFOGGER FOR THE WINSHIELD WENT OUT, WINSHIELD FOGGED UP COULD NOT SEE ON A RAINY FOGGY NIGHT WHEN I HAD TO OPEN ALL WINDOWS FOR AIR TO TAKE MIST OFF WINSHIELD.SECOND INCIDENT WHEN I PULLED INTO A SERVICE AREA TO CHECK THE A/C THE VEHICLE ABOVE WAS LOCKED IN PARK WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTED GOING IN REVERSE WITH ENGINE RUNNING ALMOST RUNNING OVER MY BROTHER WHO WAS IN REAR OF VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON, NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT FROM THE BEGINNING. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED ON THIS WEBSITE BY SOMEONE ELSE. I WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS BOTH CAME ON. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, ACCELERATION IS SIGNIFICANTLY COMPROMISED AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED SOME SENSORS AND TOLD ME IT WAS GOOD TO GO AND COME PICK IT UP. FIVE MINUTES AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER BOTH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK, THEY REPLACED SOME OTHER PARTS AND TOLD ME IT WAS READY. PICKED IT UP AND WITHIN TEN MINUTES BOTH LIGHTS WERE BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER, I WAITED THIS TIME, THEY SAID THOSE CODES WERE GONE ALTHOUGH A NEW CODE WAS NOW SHOWING UP. TOLD ME I COULD DRIVE IT AND THEY WOULD ORDER ME ANOTHER COMPUTER. YESTERDAY, WHILE SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE MOVIE THEATER A BELL STARTED GOING OFF, THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON, SWAY BAR LIGHT CAME ON, ALL OF THE GEAR POSITION LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE RAN UP TO ABOUT 6000 RPMS. I TURNED IT OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES IT RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I MADE IT HOME AND A WRECKER PICKED IT UP AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM WAITING TO HEAR WHA

2012 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACEMENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE LOST ALL POWER TO THE HORN, LIGHTS, DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS. AFTER DAYS, CHRYSLER REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *JB

FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE WHEN REFUELING TO A FULL TANK.

APPEARS THAT DURING WINTER MONTHS/COLD WEATHER THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WILL JUMP OUT OF GEAR. IT HAPPENS DURING SUDDEN JARS TO VEHICLE, EXAMPLES WOULD BE RAILROAD TRACKS AND POT HOLES. ALSO IT WILL JUMP OUT OF GEAR DURING HEAVY ACCELERATION.

ON THE 2012 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. CHRYSLER HOWEVER HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR THE (RHD) VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE.

PURCHASE DATE JEEP 7/2014 EAST HILLS CHRYSLER EAST HILLS NY. UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME. I NOTICED IT HAD THE REAR SEAT BELT RIPPED OUT, PARKING BRAKE WAS DEFECTIVE AND A NAIL IN RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK AND STATED "HOW WAS VEHICLE PAST A SAFETY INSPECTION"? THEIR WAS RESPONSE WAS THE "SORRY".THE CAR WAS ADVERTISED A PRE-CERTIFIED BASED ON THE A 100 POINT INSPECTION, WHICH IT NEVER HAD. THEY REPLACED THE SEAT BELT THAT NIGHT. 5/4/2015, DRIVING HOME THE REAL DIFFERENTIAL FAILED (MILES 48806) BOTH FRONT AND REAR WERE LEAKING. I WAS DRIVING AT RATE 50 MPH. THE CHAIN OF EVENTS OF THE FAILURE AFFECTED THE FLANGE AND YOLK OFF THE DRIVE SHAFT. I TOOK IT BACK TO EAST HILLS CHRYSLER. THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY COVERED THIS REPAIR HOWEVER, DURING THE FAILURE, I COULD NOT SHIFT TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, I HAD A LOT OF VIBRATION IN ON THE MANUAL STICK. I EXPRESSIVELY ASKED THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE CLUTCH, GEAR BOX AND TRANSMISSION FOR DAMAGE AS A RESULT FROM THE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER SHIP FOR 2 WEEKS. DROVE THE CAR HOME AND HEARD THIS WHINING SOUND FROM THE CLUTCH, BROUGHT IT BACK THE SAME DAY AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THE NOISE WAS AND IS THE THROUGH OUT BEARING. APPOINTMENT DATE 6/2/2015. THE CAR WAS THERE FOR 2 WEEKS. RESULT, THE TECH SAID THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. THE CLUTCH WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE COULD NO GUARANTEE, THE NOISE WOULD GO AWAY. AGAIN I EXPLAINED IT THE CLUTCH DAMAGE WAS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT IT TOOK A GREATER AMOUNT OF TIME TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. UPDATED 2/1/2016 *JS UPDATED 12/04/2017*CN

VEHICLE STALLED (ENGINE QUITE RUNNING) THEN JERKED BACK ON. AT FIRST IT WOULD ONLY DO THIS OCCASIONALLY. NOW IT DOES IT FREQUENTLY IN ALL GEARS (SIX SPEED MANUAL).

INOP BATTERY, A/C AND HEAT BLOWER, ALARM SECURITY LIGHT, WINDOWS INOP INTERMEDIATELY

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE THE ENGINE WILL STALL AT IDLING OR LOW RPM'S. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER 4 TIMES NOW AND OF COURSE THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, THEY CAR WOULD SIMPLY NOT START AT ALL AND IT ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS, HORN, STEERING WHEEL RADIO CONTROLS, HEADLIGHTS FAILED AND REAR BACK POWER WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP- THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN.

PARKED IT AT 7:30 PM AND WOKE UP AT 2:30AM AND IT WAS ON FIRE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED, RATTLED, AND WOBBLED OUT OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SPECIALIZED MECHANIC, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEGAN TO SPIN AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY RESPONDED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR ABS SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

2012 JEEP WRANGLER WAS A "POSTAL VEHICLE", IN THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER ERROR OCCURRED, IN THAT DRIVER WAS ON RIGHT SHOULDER OF TWO LANE HIGHWAY, BUT PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC TO PERFORM "A 180" DEGREE TURN IN ORDER TO REVERSE DIRECTION. DRIVER DID NOT PROPERLY YIELD THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. WHEN ENTERING HIGHWAY, VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY ONCOMING, SPEEDING CAR. CRASH RESULTED. IMPACT WAS SO SEVERE THAT FEMALE PASSENGER IN BACK SEAT WHO WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT WAS EJECTED (AND KILLED). SEAT BELT WAS TORN DUE TO FORCE. ROOF COVER WAS INSUFFICIENT TO STOP EJECTION. MALE PASSENGER IN BACK SEAT, ALSO BELTED, WAS ALSO KILLED. INJURIES TO TWO PASSENGERS IN FRONT SEAT. POSSIBLE DEFECTS INCLUDE THE DESIGN DEFECTS INHERENT IN RIGHT-SIDED STEERING WHEEL, AND ALSO THE SEAT BELT SHEARING, PLUS ROOF COVER FAILURE DURING CRASH.

APPROX 4 MONTHS AND 3700 MILES OF HAVING MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED, DURING REGULAR DRIVING ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE WARNING CHIMES WERE ON, ALL GAUGES DROPPED AND CONTINUED TO FLASH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND THE LIGHTS REMAINED FLASHING AND FLICKERING FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 20 SECONDS I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 30 TIMES SINCE THEN AND ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN REGULARLY AND AFTER SHOWING THEM 2 VIDEOS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. NOW AT 47000 MILES MY WARRANTY IS GONE AND THIS TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIRBAG REMAINED ON. I DON'T KNOW IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED OR ARE SEPARATE, BUT NOW IT KIND OF "SPUTTERS AND PUT-PUTS" WHEN ITS IN PARK AND WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. DEALERSHIP WANTS $150.00 JUST TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AGAIN AND TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE FAULT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE; IT HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD, IS GARAGE KEPT, AND NOT USED EVERYDAY. I DON'T WANT MY JEEP TO CATCH FIRE OR CONTINUE TO PUT ME AND MY CHILDREN IN A POSITION WHERE WHEN COULD GET HURT BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THESE ISSUES ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 40K MILES. AROUND 15K MILES, I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT WINDSHIELD HEATING/DEFROSTING NOT WORKING. HEATING WORKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT NOT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATING OR WINDSHIELD AREAS. THIS ISSUE CREATES A COMFORT PROBLEM DURING COLD DAYS DUE TO NO HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY WITHOUT SUFFICIENT HEAT, CREATING UNSAFE DRIVING SCENARIOS. THIS ISSUE WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, BUT OVER THE PAST 20K MILES HAS BECOME A FREQUENT COMFORT AND SAFETY ISSUE. THIS DEFECT/ISSUE/DESIGN FLAW IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CURRENT WRANGLER UNLIMITED AS A NUMBER OF OTHERS I KNOW WITH THE SAME VEHICLE EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE AND YOU CAN FIND ENDLESS COMPLAINTS OF THE ISSUE ON LINE. MY DEALER ALSO EXPLAINED THEY RECEIVE FREQUENT COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I BROUGHT MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY EXPLAINED I NEED THE HEATING CORE REPLACED, AND DUE TO ITS LOCATION BEHIND THE DASHBOARD WILL COST ME $1000+ TO REPAIR, PRIMARILY DUE TO THE LABOR REQUIRED TO PULL OFF THE DASHBOARD AND OTHER CAR PARTS TO REACH AND REPLACE THE HEATING CORE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECOGNIZED SAFETY RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN BY JEEP/CHRYSLER WITH NO OUT OF POCKET REPAIR EXPENSE FOR THE VEHICLE OWNERS WHO EXPECT TO RECEIVE SAFE, HIGH QUALITY, WELL DESIGNED PRODUCTS FROM JEEP/CHRYSLER.

I HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY JEEP PRIOR TO TODAY'S DATE, I HAD EVERYTHING UNDER THE FRONT END TIGHTENED AND THE FRONT TRACK BAR REPLACED, COST, APPROXIMATELY 700 DOLLARS. THE TRACK BAR WAS REPLACED APRIL 30 2015, TODAY MAY 1 2015 I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY RAMP AS SOON. AS I HIT 65 AND A BUMP THE JEEP BEGAN TO GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I HAD TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHT, WHITE KNUCKLE, AND PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE WOBBLE STOPPED. I BRIGHT TO JEEP AND THE SAID PROBABLY THE STEERING. THE CALLED ME LATER AND SAID IT WAS THE UPPER LOWER BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS, ALIGNMENT, AND STEERING. 2200 BUCKS. FOR A CAR THAT'S ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD NO REASON SOMETHING LIKE THE BALL JOINTS SHOULD BE THAT WORN OR THAT I SHOULD EXPERIENCE A DEATH WOBBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I DON'T OFF ROAD, MY CAR IS NOT LIFTED. JEEP IS NOT WILLING TO PAY ANY OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGHT THE CAR IS LIKE BRAND NEW. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON BY THEMSELVES, HEADLIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, THE DASH LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. *TR

I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 100 TIMES WHERE MY JEEP HAS STALLED AND JUST STOPPED RUNNING. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I HAVE SLOWED DOWN, AND HAS STOPPED IN INTERSECTIONS. IT HAS STOPPED WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP ETC. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. IT SCARES ME , AND MAKES ME FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I HAVE CHANGED THE WAY I DRIVE BECAUSE OF IT, WITH THE FEAR OF WORRYING MY JEEP WILL JUST STOP RUNNING , WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE SWITCHES IN THE CAR NOT WORK, AND FUNCTION ERRATICALLY. LIGHTS STAY ON, WHEN TURNED OFF, AFTER TURNING THEM OFF NUMEROUS TIMES, THEY FINALLY GO OUT. I HAVE HAD MY BREAKS RESPOND ODDLY, AND GET WEAK. I HAVE HAD THE HEATER NOT COME ON, THEN TURN SWITCH AGAIN AND IT WORKS. HAVE HAD DEFROST SOME ON WHEN DEFROST WAS OFF. NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS, MALFUNCTION. I DON'T BOTHER WITH JEEP, AS MY MILEAGE IS OVER 36,000- NO MORE WARRANTY, BUT THESE THINGS BEGAN, ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO INTO JEEP OWNERSHIP. THESE PROBLEMS USED TO BE INFREQUENT, BUT NOW THIS POWER FAILURE HAPPENS OFTEN. SOME DAYS IT HAPPENS 4-5 TIMES. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER, I DO NOT WANT TO BE INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE'S HURT ,BECAUSE OF IT EITHER. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND FIND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, IT IS COMMON. I ALSO HAVE A WHISTLE IN THE BRAKE LINE, VACUUM I THINK??? IT CAUSES THE BREAKS TO NOT BE STRONG AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES COMPLETELY REPLACED AND THI

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALL WENT OUT. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DEFECTIVE BATTERY TERMINALS, THE NEXT 2 AGREED IT WAS THE TIPM FOR THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE START/RUN RELAY IS MOVED AT ALL, THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP HAVE REPORTED THE PART ON BACKORDER AND HAVE NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. *TR

AT THE BEGINNING OF WINTER I NOTICE THE DEFROST/HEAT IN THE JEEP WAS NOT PUTTING OUT A LOT OF HEAT. IT WOULD BARELY DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. WITH THE FRIGID WEATHER WE HAVE HAD, I JUST HAD IT CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THE HEATER CORE, AND THE RADIATOR WOULD NEED CHANGED BECAUSE THEY WERE PLUGGED. I FEEL SORRY FOR ANYONE THAT OWNS A CHRYSLER PRODUCT. THIS STILL DOES NOT RUN RIGHT AFTER THE HEAD WAS CHANGED, NO DUMMY LIGHT COMES ON, SO NONE OF THE MECHANICS WILL BELIEVE ME THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE MILEAGE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE ISSUES STARTED RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT IS NOT THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT, IT IS THE COMPANY. DO SOMETHING TO GET THE ISSUES FIXED! *TR

ON OR ABOUT THE 10TH OF MARCH 2015 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER TURNED THE LIGHT OFF AND I MADE APT FOR A SEPARATE PROBLEM WHICH WAS A RECALL NOTICE. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK FOR THE RECALL. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK THE DEALER SAID THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AS OF THE 14TH OF MARCH. I ADVISED I UNDERSTAND THE DATE HOWEVER I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND YOU TURNED THE LIGHT OFF NOW YOU ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY 180.00 TO CHECK THE PROBLEM BECAUSE WARRANTY IS OVER. TURNS OUT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT HEAD OF THE ENGINE AND THE #4 CYLINDER IS EXPERIENCING A MISFIRE. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE JEEP, IT IS 400 MILES AWAY, I MOVED SINCE THE PURCHASE, THEY ADVISE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, THEY DESCRIBE IT AND SAID IT WOULD BE A WARRANTY ITEM WHICH IS COVERED FOR 6 YEARS. I CAN NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE 400 MILES TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE AND I NEED HELP WITH GETTING SAHARA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN LAS VEGAS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS (X56) 3.6 LEFT CYLINDER HEAD. *TR

FAULTY TIPM. SINCE BUYING THE JEEP BRAND NEW IT HAS DONE WEIRD THINGS (IE: LOCKS WON'T WORK, WINDOWS WON'T WORK, RADIO WON'T WORK) BUT IF I JUST TURNED THE JEEP OFF AND BACK ON THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. HOWEVER, NOW MY LOCKS QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND ONLY SOLUTION IS REPLACE THE TIPM BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THE WHOLE TIME UNTIL NOW AND NOW THE JEEP IS OUT OF IT'S WARRANTY AND COST $1000 TO FIX. *TR
