WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR.

AS I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, FOR NO REASON AT ALL THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED AND SHATTERED IN PIECES. DEALERSIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE JEEP WOULD NOT HELP NOR WOULD JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 800-847-9753 AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY WERE DEFENSIVE AND RUDE.

DURING A ROLLOVER CRASH WHICH INITIATED AT 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VECHICLE ROLLED AND AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO DEPLOY THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRIGGERED. AS A RESULT THE OOCCUPANTS EXPERIENCE EXTENSIVE INJURIES CONSISTENT WITH SUDDEN DECELERATION.

ENGINE STALLS WHEN PUT IN FORWARD OR REVERSE ONE OR TWO TIMES IN THE MORNING

2016 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ALTERNATOR LEAKING. *LD *TR

I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WITHIN A YEAR OR SO OF PURCHASING MY NEW 2016 JEEP WRANGLER...VERY SCARY (SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON A ROUGH SPOTS IN THE ROAD, TRAVELING AT 45 MPH OR HIGHER).THE FRONT END WAS SHAKING SO BADLY THAT I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE, OR THAT A WHEEL HAD FALLEN OFF. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES, AND I NO LONGER DRIVE ON ANY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT IN TO THE JEEP DEALER TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT ON JUNE 27, 2017 WITH 31,237 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. ALSO HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED TO SEE IF THAT WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM, BUT JUST WHEN YOU THINK THAT ALL IS OK, IT HAPPENS AGAIN. YOU ARE NEVER SURE WHEN TO EXPECT IT, AND IT IS UNNERVING. THE JEEP DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I THINK JEEP IS HIDING THE FACT THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT IS LIKE UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO YOU.

TAKATA RECALL: TOOK MY JEEP IN FOR RECALL REPAIR & TOLD BY SERVICE DEALER (REDLANDS, CA) THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT SENDING THE PARTS FOR RECALL TO BE COMPLETED. THEY ARE TO CONTACT ME ONCE THE PARTS ARE IN.

RADIO OVER HEATING - FAN NOT SPINNING. RADIO WILL NOT WORK MORE THEN 45 SECONDS, MAKES A POPPING NOISE

ON COLD DAYS AFTER THE JEEP HAS BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT, THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS FIRMLY PRESSED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE JEEP IS STARTED AND IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF THE CAR IS RUNNING FOR 30 SECONDS BEFORE IT IS SHIFTED OR RUNNING FOR 3 MINUTES, THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. IF THE BRAKE IS NOT FIRMLY PRESSED THE ENGINE WON'T STALL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. THIS CAUSES THE JEEP WILL LURCH FORWARD, FOR DRIVE, OR BACKWARD, FOR REVERSE,

WHEN STARTING MY 2016 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED UP, FIRST START IN THE DAY, OR MORNING.START VEHICLE UP, LET WARM UP FOR AT LEAST 1 MINUTE, PUT FOOT ON BRAKE PUT GEAR SHIFTER IN REVERSE, TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY, GO TO RELEASE BRAKE, AND VEHICLE STALLS OUT.THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK,TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID CAN'T FIND NO CODES..I'VE BEEN ON A JEEP FORUM FOR A FEW WEEKS,AND EVERYONE ON THE SITE SAYS DEALERSHIP HAS FOUND THE PROBLEM AND FIXED, WHAT WOULD BE THE TORQUE CONVERTER, SEEM TO BE LOTS OF 2016 JEEPS OUT IN THE WORLD, HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. ..

THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG POSTED ON 1/9/2019 WHICH MY DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET FIXED AS OF 1/24/19. THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH A "COLD START" PUT INTO REVERSE AND THUS WHEN DONE IT IS STALLING. NO CODES ... NO WARING LIGHTS. MY 2016 HAS BEEN DOING THIS NOW FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS.

MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF PLUS THE HILL DESCENT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY THEN THE DESCENT CONTROL STARTS. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE BRAKES START SURGING ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE WANT TO CUT OFF OR STOP FUEL. THEN THE LIGHTS GO OFF NO CODES TO CHECK THEN AND EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT. THE FUEL CUTTING OFF AND THE BRAKES SURGING WAS FROM A STOP ON A SIDE STREET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RANCHO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (8010 BALBOA AVE, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111, (858) 560-7100) FOR AN OIL CHANGE, HE WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS NEEDED TO BE FILED DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE REPAIRED FOR THE SAME FAILURE A YEAR AGO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,626.

I AWOKE THIS MORNING TO FIND MY VEHICLE RUNNING INSIDE OUR PARKED GARAGE. THE REMOTE START SOMEHOW HAD TRIGGERED UNINTENTIONALLY.

TAMARA RECALL. I WAS HIT BY A DRUNK DRIVER AT HIGHWAY SPEED HERE IN TEXAS ON 12/7/2018. AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY IN MY 2016 JEEP JKU. ALL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN THE DRUNK DRIVERS VEHICLE. SHE WALKED AWAY AND I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. IF MY AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED FROM SUCH A HARD IMPACT I MIGHT HAVE WALKED AWAY LIKE THE DRUNK DRIVER. SO MUCH FOR HAVING AIRBAGS IF THEY DON'T WORK. BOTH VEHICLES HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY FROM THE SCENE DUE TO EXTENT OF DAMAGES. *DT*JB

THE BACK SEAT WHEN IN THE UP POSITION FLOPS BACK AND FORTH WITH NO WAY TO LOCK IN IT IN. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED FROM HIGH SPEEDS THE BACK SEAT SPRINGS FORWARD HITTING BOTH FRONT SEATS VERY HARD WHICH RESULTS IN THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS BEING PUSHED HARD INTO THE DASHBOARD. THE SEAT ALSO WILL UNFOLD IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE CRUSHING ANYTHING IN THE BACK INCLUDING MY DOG WHO WAS INJURED WHILE RIDING IN THE BACK.

LEAKING TO THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR PANEL. THE LEAK IS SO BAD I'M WORRIED ABOUT ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT WAS A LEGIT PUDDLE OF WATER. I'M ALSO WORRIED ABOUT ABOUT BEING ELECTROCUTED,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON A STEEP INCLINE, THE CONTACT DOWNSHIFTED THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO FORCIBLY STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE RPMS INCREASED TO THE MAXIMUM. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SALMON RIVER MOTORS (1065 SOUTH CHILLIS STREET, SALMON, IDAHO 83467, (208) 756-4211) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. *TT*JB

DEALER REFUSES TO MAKE RECALL REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE, WANT US TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REMOVE AND REINSTALL WENCH. TRIED LAST SUMMER AS WELL SAME RESULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE THE DRIVER WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE REAR ENDED A DUMP TRUCK. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER'S ENGINEER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AT AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE; HOWEVER, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL READING IN THE RADIO FREQUENCY. THE ENGINEER CONCLUDED THAT THE ACCELERATION FAILURE WAS NOT CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,209.

JEEP DEATH WOBBLE - WHILST TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, I STUCK A SMALL POTHOLE WITH MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE VEHICLE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AS THE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATED ABOUT 6 INCHES BACK AND FORTH. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND NEARLY COLLIDED WITH CENTER MEDIAN AND VEHICLES TO MY RIGHT. SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MPH CAUSED THE WOBBLE TO SUBSIDE. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY EVENT AND COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY/DEATH OF BOTH OF US HAD I LOST CONTROL. A DASHCAM VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT CAN BE PROVIDED IF NEEDED.

INVOLVED IN FRONT-END IMPACT WITH A SIGN AND TREE, RESULTING IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO BUMPER AND FRAMEWORK. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES TO HEAD. VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED AFTER THE ACCIDENT. *DT *TR *JB *DT*JB *DT *DT *DT *TR

MY ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK IN ACCELERATION MODE ONCE WHEN PASSING A CAR AND TODAY WHEN ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY AND MY CRUISE WAS NOT IN NOR WAS MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR.

I DRIVE A JEEP WRANGLER THAT HAS 70000 MILES ON IT. IT IS A 4 DOOR VEHICLE AND THE MECHANISMS FOR THE BACK DOORS NO LONGER WORK. WHILE SITTING INSIDE THE CAR, I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. I DID A BIT OF RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT THE MECHANISMS IN THESE DOORS FAIL OFTEN AS OTHERS REPORT THE SAME ISSUE. A 2016 VEHICLE WITH DOORS THAT DO NOT FUNCTION IS , ON MY MIND, A SAFETY ISSUE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER OR HELP IN ANYWAY BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. I HOPE NO ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES BECAUSE THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN ON ONE OF THESE CARS.

2 X NOW WHILE DRIVING MY GAS PEDAL EXCELLERATED AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE PEDAL AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I PULLED THE PEDAL UP WITH MY FOOT. FIRST TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH. THE SECOND TIME ON A STREET AT ABOUT 25 MPH.

VEHICLE NOTIFIED IT HAD A FAULT IN THE ABS/ESC SYSTEM VIA THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH. OCCURRED AFTER STARTING THE CAR AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT. VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY AT FIRST AND ASSUMED THIS INDICATED THE SYSTEMS HAD A FAULT AND WERE THUS DISABLED. HOWEVER, VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER, STUMBLE, AND NOT ACCELERATE WHEN MOVING FROM DEAD STOP. INCLUDING STOP LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, CROSSING DIVIDED HIGHWAYS AND INTERSECTIONS--TURNING AND STRAIGHT TRAVEL. PAVEMENT CONDITIONS WERE DRY/LEVEL, NO WHEEL SPIN OCCURRED. 3 OCCASIONS OVER 2 DAYS RESULTED IN NEAR ACCIDENTS. ONCE AFTER TURNING RIGHT FROM A STOP SIGN, ACCELERATING THROUGH FIRST GEAR AND REAR BRAKES BEGIN TO CYCLE WHILE POWER IS CUT FROM ENGINE. CAR BEHIND HAD TO SWERVE AROUND SO AS NOT TO COLLIDE. NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. NEXT EVENT WAS CROSSING 2 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY FROM CENTER TURN LANE. AGAIN SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER AND BRAKING AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED TO REAR WHEELS. LESSER EVENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS WELL. VEHICLE THINKS IT NEEDS TO ENGAGE THE ESC SYSTEM. I ARGUE THAT THE ESC SYSTEM SHOULD GO INACTIVE WHEN A FAULT IS DETECTED, NOT CUT POWER AND AUTO APPLY BRAKES DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE UPDATED (QUALITY OF THE COMPONENTS NOT WITHSTANDING). THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AS THE CAR IS UN-DRIVEABLE, EVEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. MOREOVER, EVEN AFTER REPAIR THE FAULT STILL "LIVES" WITHIN THE CAR SHOULD IT HAVE A SI

TWO MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY JEEP I HAD AN ISSUE WITH REAR SEATBELT GETTING STUCK AND NOTICED A SLIGHT TEAR IN FABRIC. RECENTLY, WHEN I WENT TO GET CAR INSPECTED THAT THE TEAR WAS BIGGER AND THE CAR FAILED MASSACHUSETTS INSPECTION. SO, I PAID $400 TO REPLACE ENTIRE SEAT BELT (MY HUSBAND THOUGHT THE DOG HAD CHEWED), NOT REALIZING THE DEFECT HAD OCCURRED LONG BEFORE WE HAD GOTTEN THE PUPPY. THE WORK WAS DONE AT OHARA IN FALMOUTH. WAIT FOR PARTS WAS ABSURD. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. NOT EVEN A MONTH AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED AND THE SEATBELT TORN AGAIN.! AT THIS POINT, I INSPECTED ALL MY SEATBELTS AND NOTICES THAT BOTH REAR SEATBELTS (NOT THE MIDDLE) AND THE FRONT PASSENGER BELT ALL HAVE THE SAME EXACT TEAR TIGHT WHERE THE BUCKLE FALLS ON THE BELT. I WOULD LOVE TO BLAME THE DO, BUT THE DOG HAS NOT BEEN ALLOWED IN THE VEHICLE SINCE THE REPAIR. JEEP/CHRYSLER DOES NOT SEEMS TO BELIEVE THAT THIS A PRODUCT QUALITY DEFECT OR A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. THEY ALSO HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE SEATBELTS ARE TEARING AND CLAIM THAT IT MUST BE SOMETHING THAT I AM DOING WITH THE VEHICLE. CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD 4 PASSENGERS RIDE IN MY BACKSEAT SINCE THE REPAIRS , I AM BAFFLED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I WOULD THINK SEATBELTS SHOULD BE FAIRLY DURABLE, BUT THESE ARE NOT. I AM DISGUSTED AT CHRYSLER'S RESPONSE AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE BELTS. I CANNOT SPEND $1200 TO REPLACE BELTS THAT MAY ONLY LAST A MONTH! I HAVE ATTACHED PICS THIS DEFECT. EAT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE SPEEDOMETER DECREASED AND INCREASED. THE DRIVER STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000.

SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CHEMICAL, THE CRUDE CONTROL WILL WORK RITE ALONG FOR A FEW WEEKS, THEN ONE DAY IT WON'T TURN ON AND I WILL HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON OVER 20 TIMES TO GET IT TO WORK. THE CHEMICAL WAS IN MOTION WHILE TRYING TO DO THIS ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO RECENTLY THE STERIO WILL NO LONGER CONNECT TO BLUETOOTH. BLUETOOTH WILL NOT WORK WILL DRIVING OR STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AT APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET THE SHIFT LEVER (PART OF THE MANUAL NSG370 TRANSMISSION) DISLOCATED FROM THE SHIFTER MECHANISM. THE SHIFT LEVER (P/N 52060064AG ) WAS ALLOWED AN UNSAFE AMOUNT OF PLAY AND WAS ABLE TO TURN SEVERAL DEGREES IN BOTH CLOCK AND COUNTER CLOCK WISE DIRECTIONS. THIS PREVENTED ACCESS TO SOME GEARS WHILE DRIVING. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE RUBBER BUSHING WITHIN THE METAL CYLINDER HOUSING OF THE SHIFT LEVER WAS CRACKED AND NO LONGER PROVIDED ADEQUATE TENSION TO HOLD THE SHIFT LEVER IN PLACE. AS A TEMPORARY FIX, I REMOVED THE SHIFT LEVER FROM THE SHIFTER MECHANISM AND WRAPPED A SINGLE STRIP OF DUCT TAPE AROUND THE RUBBER BUSHING. AFTER REINSTALLING THE SHIFT LEVER THERE WAS ENOUGH TENSION FOR ME TO ENGAGE EVERY GEAR WITHOUT ANY NOTABLE PLAY.

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING 40+ MPH AND VEHICLE SEEMS TO ALMOST STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND AN ISSUE. TAKING BACK TO DEALER AGAIN FOR RE-EVALUATION.

MY WIFE NOTICED 'HOOD FLUTTER' ON OUR JEEP RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IN AND IMMEDIATELY FOUND THE 'RUGGED RIDGE HOOD CATCHES' ON AMAZON, ORDERED THEM (AT A COST OF $113.99 + TAX TO US) AND HAD ME INSTALL THEM, BEFORE WE LEFT LAS VEGAS FOR WISCONSIN TO RETURN HOME. WE WERE GOING ABOUT 75MPH TRAVELING FROM COLORADO SPRINGS TO LAS VEGAS, NV, ON I-25 AND I-40, AND EVEN THOUGH SHE IS LEGALLY BLIND SHE COULD SEE THE HOOD BOUNCING AROUND. IT SEEMED WORSE WHEN TRAVELING INTO A HEADWIND, BUT WAS STILL NOTICEABLE WITH A CROSSWIND. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE THE RUBBER LATCHES THAT ARE USED TO HOLD THE JEEPS HOOD DOWN WERE STRETCHING ALLOWING THE HOOD TO MOVE ON OUR 2 DAY OLD JEEP.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT NO CURRENT RECALLS

VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A RATTLE IN THE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. SEARCHES FOR OTHER PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THIS YIELD NUMEROUS REPORTS OF CLUTCH THROW OUT BEARING FAILURES. IT AFFECTS SHIFTING AND CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT NEGATIVELY. MAKES IT HARD TO POSITIVELY ENGAGE SHIFTS AT SPEED. MINE HAS NOT YET FAILED BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP HAVE BOTH BEEN VERY RESISTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CLEARLY AFFECTS NUMEROUS MANUAL TRANSMISSION WRANGLERS DATING BACK TO ~2008. A PERSONAL ACQUAINTANCE ALSO HAD A CLUTCH THROW OUT BEARING FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY (SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE). HE IS CURRENTLY PURSUING REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLE AFTER MASSIVE DAMAGE DONE FROM THROW OUT BEARING FAILURE. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT MY VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THE SHIFTER REPLACED (RECALL FAILURE). THIS ISSUE IS SEPARATE FROM THE SHIFTER LINKAGE RECALL. I'VE ATTACHED SOME DOCUMENTATION BELOW (A SMALL SAMPLING OF THE USERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS)

I AM ON THE SECOND WINDSHIELD IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. THE FIRST ONE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY IMPACT AS IT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS (FIRST WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED WITH MOPAR OEM PARTS) I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN I SAW IT CRACK, THERE WAS NO IMPACT. I HAD MY DEFROSTERS ON HIGH HEAT AND HIGH FAN. THE CRACK WENT FROM THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD ALL THE WAY TO THE DRIVERS SIDE. RESEARCHING ON LINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND BETTER GLASS SHOULD BE INSTALLED.

RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALL LETTERS FROM FCA. FINALLY CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE WHAT YOU SAY IS A 2 HOUR REPAIR. FIRST PROBLEM, THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY PARTS TO EFFECT A REPAIR ON ANY OF THE EFFECTED VEHICLES . THAT HAS BEEN OVER ONE YEAR. NOW THAT YOU ARE SENDING OUT THE NOTICES FOR A YEAR, MY WIFE IS CONCERNED THAT IF SHE WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED. THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF TIME FRAME FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE NEEDED REPAIRS OR WHAT GOOD IS YOUR DEPARTMENT?

CASTING SAND OR SOME OTHER FACTORY SLUDGE IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. KILLED MY HEATER CORE AND MAYBE MORE.

HEAD GASKETS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 25712 MILES IN JULY 2017. CURRENTLY STILL LOSING COOLANT. FCA TECH ADVISOR STATES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. PHOTO ATTACHED IS FROM JANUARY 5,2018. I HAVE SUBMITTED DOCUMENTATION TO FCA IN REGARDS TO THE ONGOING LOSS. FCA IS REQUESTING ANOTHER DEALER VISIT, THIS WOULD BE THE FOURTH SINCE THE GASKETS WERE REPLACED. CARFAX REPORT FOR EVERY VISIT IS DEPLETING THE VALUE DUE THE ALL THE RED FLAGS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE ENGINE JUST DIED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR IT ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. I THEN SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT AND IT DROVE FINE. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY (COULD OCCUR TWICE IN ONE DAY OR NOT FOR 2 WEEKS) AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (CITY AND HIGHWAY). I ALSO HAVE HAD RANDOM MISFIRE CODES AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CODES. SOMETIMES THE CODES CLEAR ON THEIR OWN AND I HAVE HAD TO RESET THE CODES WITH A TUNER. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER AND IT WILL BE AROUND A WEEK BEFORE THEY CAN LOOK AT IT, EVEN IN LIGHT OF THE DANGER FOR AN ENGINE JUST DYING.

AROUND 8:00 PM ON 9 NOV 2017 I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 - 65 MPH IN THE FAR LEFT LANE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF. IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON AND I HAD TO SLOWLY COAST TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE. I LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP, THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND WHEN I TRIED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD JUST MAKE A THUMPING NOISE AND WOULD ONLY MOVE A LITTLE BIT. WAITED AN HOUR FOR A TOW TRUCK. IT IS CURRENTLY AT A DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

ENGINE DIES WHEN DRIVING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON TPM LIGHT COMES ON THEN ENGINE DIES. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING THE WIPERS COME ON, TPM LIGHT, THEN CAR SLOWES BUT RECOVERS OR DIES COMPLETLY. WHEN STARTING CAR TURN KEY TO START AND THE STARTER CONTINUES WHEN YOU LET GO OF KEY. WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN, JEEP DIES WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND I HAD IT TOWED (AAA) TO JEEP SERVICE, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND TIPM. I ATTEMPTED TO PICK UP NEXT DAY AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED, BUT THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO START.. DTC CODESU0127 LOST COMM WITH THE TIRE PRESS MONITOR MOD. DTC B2305, WIPER PARK SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH (STUCK HIGH). HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTING, ON BACK ROADS AND ON THE HIGHWAY

WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CITY CONDITIONS THE "ESC" LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOLLOWED BY THE "ABS" WARNING AND THE "HILL DECENT CONTROL" FLASHING. I WAS NEARLY AT MY INTENDED DESTINATION SO I CONTINUED THEN PARKED AT MY DESTINATION. ONCE I FINISHED WITH MY BUSINESS, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTED THE "ESC" AND "ABS" LIGHTS ON STEADY, AS I TURNED RIGHT ONTO THE CITY ROADWAY THE "ESC" STARTED FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, RPM'S DECREASED, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT STALL. I EASED OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND IT SEEMED TO STABILIZE, THEN AS APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, SAME THING, VEHICLE HESITATED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TURNED RIGHT, OFF THE ROADWAY, ONTO A SIDE STREET AT WHICH TIME THE "ESC" AND "ABS" LIGHTS EXTINGUISHED AND THE NORMAL OPERATION RETURNED. THE ENTIRE SCENARIO OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES DURING THE NEXT 3 MILES OF CITY STOP AND GO DRIVING, AFTER WHICH THE "ESC" AND "ABS" LIGHTS REMAINED ON STEADY AND THE VEHICLE NO LONGER HAD ACCELERATION ISSUES. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME SAFELY WITH THE "ESC" AND "ABS" ILLUMINATED STEADILY. PLAN TO TAKE TO WARRANTY REPAIR FACILITY, SUSPECT FAULTY WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, BUT UNABLE TO KNOW WHICH WHEEL SENSOR HAS FAILED.

ENGINE DIES WHEN DRIVING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON TPM LIGHT COMES ON THEN ENGINE DIES. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING THE WIPERS COME ON, TPM LIGHT, THEN CAR SLOWES BUT RECOVERS. WHEN STARTING CAR TURN KEY TO START AND THE STARTER CONTINUES WHEN YOU LET GO OF KEY. HAVE APPT WITH JEEP, THEY SAY THEY MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIX IF THEY CAN REPRODUCE. DTC CODESU0127 LOST COMM WITH THE TIRE PRESS MONITOR MOD. DTC B2305, WIPER PARK SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH (STUCK HIGH). HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTING, ON BACK ROADS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 MONTHS BUT GETTING WORSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, WHILE IT WAS RAINING, ANOTHER VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL U-TURN AND COULD NOT MAKE THE FULL TURN, THE OTHER VEHICLE REVERSED INTO THE LEFT LANE WHERE THE CONTACT WAS LOCATED.

2016 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNSAFE DESIGN FEATURES IN VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE NOT ILLUMINATED WELL ENOUGH. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO READ THE SPEED DURING MANY DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE HEADREST OBSCURE THE REAR VIEW DUE TO IT'S SIZE. UPDATED 10/4/2017*JS

MY 2016 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON WAS ORDERED AND PURCHASED ON 8/18/2016 AND ORDERED STRAIGHT FROM THE CHRSYLER PLANT THROUGH LEITH JEEP DEALERSHIP IN RALEIGH, NC. WHILE TRANSPORTING MY DAUGHTER FROM A DR. APPOINTMENT THE JEEP CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE TRAVELING ON AVIATION PARKWAY IN RALEIGH, NC ON 9/8/2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 10:45AM. THE JEEP SUDDENLY HAD SMOKE COMING INTO THE MAIN CABIN FROM THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE GLOVE BOX AREA. I QUICKLY PULLED THE JEEP TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION HOPING THE SMOKE WOULD STOP. AS I TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH WAS MELTING AT MY DAUGTHERS FEET AND FLAMES WERE COMING INTO THE CAR AND UNDER THE HOOD FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE QUICKJLY EXITED THE JEEP AND CALLED 911. BY THE TIME WE GOT 10 FEET AWAY THE CAR BECAME ENGULPED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. WE KNOW THE FIRE STARTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AROUND THE MAIN WIRING UNIT DUE TO WHERE THE SMOKE STARTED. THE FIRE DEPT ALSO STATED THAT THE ORIGIN WAS NOTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MORE SEVERE BURN PATTERN TO THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE JEEP COMPARED TO THE LEFT SIDE. ALL SERVICE WAS COMPLETED BY OUR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS NOTED. THERE WAS 1 RECALL (FRONT IMPACT SENSOR) ON MY VIN # AND THE DEALERSHIP COMPLETED THE REQUIRED WORK. PLEASE SEE ALL SERVICE RECORDS ATTACHED.
