2018 Jeep Wrangler complaints

MY JEEP HAS A "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT HAPPENS IN EXCESS OF 50 MILES AN HOUR IF THE JEEP HITS ROUGH ROAD, UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR GOING INTO A CURVE ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY ITS AS THOUGH THERE IS A MINI EARTHQUAKE INSIDE THE JEEP. IT IS TERRIFYING. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT AFTER TAKING MY JEEP TO TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. NOTE THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP IN 2019, IT SEEMED TO GET BETTER AFTER I TOOK IT IN FOR THE ORIGINAL RECALL, BUT SINCE OCT 2020 HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AFTER THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED ON IT. SINCE OCT 2020 AND AS OF NOV 28 2020, I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE 3 TIMES, I WILL HAVE A 4TH UNDER MY BELT WHEN THEY RECEIVE SOME OTHER PART THEY SAY THEY JUST FOUND AND NEED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS AROUND 60MPH STEERING LOCKS UP AND WHEN FORCED TO TURN IT UNLOCKS AND SWERVES LEFT OR RIGHT DEPENDING ON THE CORNER. WORSE IN COLD CONDITIONS. VERY DANGEROUS IF IN TRAFFIC!

WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ARE COLDER I CAN NOT STEER THE VEHICLE. DRIVING ALONG GOING AROUND A CURVE AND THE JEEP WILL NOT TURN

WHILE DRIVING, THE BATTERY VOLTAGE LIGHT CAME ON. WE MONITORED THE VOLTAGE AND NOTED THAT IT WAS DROPPING QUICKLY FROM AROUND 11.7 TO A LOW POINT OF ABOUT 8.9. WHEN THE VOLTAGE GOT THAT LOW, MANY DIFFERENT WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET GOING UNDER 20 MPH. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER A TURN. CAUSE OF ISSUE IS UNKNOWN. THE DAY BEFORE, THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WARNING LIGHT HAD COME ON. I DID SOME BASIC DIAGNOSTICS AND DID NOT LOCATE AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS OR BATTERY ITSELF.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I HIT 2 OR 3 SMALL BUMPS CONSECUTIVELY ON THE PA TURNPIKE. THE CAR STARTED TO WOBBLE AND STEERING WHEEL SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED...COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL, HAD TO DOWNSHIFT RAPIDLY TO DECREASE SPEED AND GET CONTROL. LUCKILY, AT THIS TIME, THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PLACES ALONG THE TURNPIKE WHERE YOU'RE JAMMED BETWEEN CONCRETE BARRIERS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SCARY.

STEERING INTERMITTENTLY BECOMES VERY TIGHT / LOCKED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON IN COLD WEATHER BUT DOES HAPPEN IN SUMMER AS WELL.

VEHICLE HAS LOOSE STEERING WHEN DRIVING. IT IS NOTICEABLY PRONOUNCE DURING HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. BUMPS AND IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD MAKE THE STEERING FEEL WOBBLY AND LOOSE. DRIVER HAS TO CONTINUOUSLY INPUT STEERING CORRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE WHICH BECOMES EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING IN LONGER DRIVING TRIPS. ISSUE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED SINCE FIRST PURCHASE IN APRIL OF 2020 BUT DRIVER ASSUMED IT WAS JUST NORMAL DRIVING OPERATIONS. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH IT IS A COMMON ISSUES WITH OTHER LIKE VEHICLES.

WITH NORMAL STREET DRIVING - DRY CONDITIONS AND GOING 30 MPH MOVING STRAIGHT THE 'SERVICE AXEL LICKING SYSTEM' WENT ON. BECAUSE OF FALSE MESSAGES THAT CLEAR THEMSELVES I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN. IT DID NOT CLEAR. NOW IT SHOWED EVERY TIME I START UP MY JEEP. SEEMS THIS IS QUITE A PROBLEM IN 2018 JEEPS. ON JEEP FORUM THERE ARE OVER 100 COMPLAINTS AND THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THE PART TO CORRECT IS BACK ORDERED FOR 6 MONTHS.

UNABLE TO CONTROL STEERING AT HIGH WAY SPEED 65MPH JEEP SHOOK VIOLENTLY UNABLE TO CONTROL ! . VEHICLE ALMOST FLIPPED OVER

AS THE CUSTOMER WAS DRIVING IF A FORWARD DIRECTION, TRAFFIC CAME TO A VERY FAST DECREASE IN SPEED CAUSING THE DRIVER TO APPLY THE BREAKS HARDER THAN NORMAL BREAKING. THE DRIVER FELT AND HEARD A LOUD POP, FOLLOWED BY A BIG JERK AND VIOLENT SHAKING. SOMETHING APPEARED TO BE DIGGING INTO THE GROUND AS THE DRIVE CAME TO A STOP.*DT *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND SAW AN ARC FLASH AND PULLED TO THE SIDE EMERGENCY LANE. I THEN SAW FLAMES DRIPPING FROM MY JEEP AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE JEEP WENT UP IN FLAMES AND CAUGHT FIRE.

DEVELOPED SPEED WOBBLES (OR DEATH WOBBLES) WHEN DRIVING ON 95 NORTH , GOING JUST 60 MPH .THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN ABOUT 1/2 PERIOD . HADN'T HAPPENED BEFORE , BUT WAS VERY DANGEROUS . SEEMS TO BE A MORE COMMON PROBLEM THAN I THOUGHT (SEARCHING TEH INTERNET)

I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE, TURNING RIGHT. NO PROBLEM UNTIL A LEFT TURN, AND I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 35 MPH WITH NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD OTHER THAN MYSELF, SO I HAD TIME TO MOVE THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND THEN BACK TO THE LEFT AND I HIT SOME RESISTANCE AND THEN IT STARTED WORKING NORMALLY. ABOUT ONE MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT OCCURRED AGAIN. 0830 HRS, DRY ROADS, SUNNY, 34 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE, IT HASN'T HAPPED AGAIN.

WATER INTRUSION IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR AREA.

STARTED UP MY VEHICLE AND BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. REALIZED I COULD NOT TURN LEFT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TOTALLY LOCKED UP TO THE LEFT SIDE. I BRAKED AND STARTED TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL. THEN IT LOCKED UP A SECOND TIME AS I TURNED RIGHT. THE WHEEL BECAME STUCK TO THE RIGHT. IT TOOK A LOT OF FORCE TO EVENTUALLY BREAK THE WHEEL FREE.

TOOK JEEP IN FOR A RECALL ON STEERING STABILIZER AND WAS CHANGED BUT STILL GETTING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN I DRIVE OR 50MPH AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD

THERE IS A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN INITIATED BY A BUMP OR POTHOLE. IT IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE AND HAS TRIGGERED AT LEAST ONE RECALL. THAT RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE TO MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE JEEP IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT AGAIN.

I HAVE A LEMON JEEP THAT HAS CAUSED ME MANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE STEERING ISSUE AND ENGINE OVERHEATING AND LEAKING OIL WHICH I ALMOST STARTED A WILDFIRE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA MOUNTAINS HIGHWAY 299. UNACCEPTABLE, FCA DOESNT CARE ....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE WITH A HALF INCH OF ADDITIONAL PLAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED DUE TO THE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TWICE TO PREMIER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BUENA PARK (7301 ARTESIA BLVD, BUENA PARK, CA 90621, (714) 646-7110) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS LIKE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V343000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STAND STILL, WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT FAILED TO RELEASE AND THE PLASTIC ADJUSTER DISINTEGRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER ZAPPONE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM CLIFTON PARK LOCATED AT 1780 AL-9, CLIFTON PARK, NY 12065, (518) 383-2277, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE REAR SEAT RELEASE ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.

I TOOK MY JEEP IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BECAUSE IT STARTED MAKING A CLICKING SOUND. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM TO REPAIR THE JEEP. THE ACTUAL WORDING WAS "UPON INSPECTION FOUND IMPACT DAMAGE ON LOWER RIGHT CONTROL ARM. DROP DOWN SHACKLE BRACKET FROM FRAME HAS BROKEN AT WELD POINTS. RECOMMEND TAKING TO THE BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS." THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE NOTICED WHEN I DID THIS... I HAVE NOT DONE ANY OFF ROADING RECENTLY AND HAVE CERTAINLY NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. THEN I LOOKED AT THE ISSUE..... I ALSO HAD A PROFESSIONAL WELDER LOOK AT IT... THE WELD WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY. THERE IS NO WELDING MARKS ON THE SECOND PART OF THE WELD.*DT*JB*DT*JB

STANDARD 2018 JEEP WRANGLER, NO MODICATIONS, FACTORY TIRES, RECENTLY SERVICED WITH OIL CHANGE. DAY, DRY CONDITIONS, NO ROAD HAZARDS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX 70 MPH, THE ASPHALT AREA AROUND AN OVERPASS IS A LITTLE HIGH, AND WHEN OUR FRONT TIRES MADE CONTACT WITH THE UNEVEN SURFACE, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE FOR OVER 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOBBLED EXCESSIVELY WHILE I WAS TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE MALFUNCTION, AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE JEEP. I PROCEEDED TO SLOW FOR TO APPROX 40 MPH USING MY BRAKES LIGHTLY, AND MAINTAINING A GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH I COULD BARELY HOLD ONTO AND THE OSCILLATIONS, WENT AWAY. I RESUMED ACCELERATION BACK TO 65-70 MPH, AND AGAIN ENCOUNTERED SOME MORE UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE ENTIRE EPISODE RE-OCCURED AND WAS SO VIOLENT THAT I NEEDED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUTDOWN THE CAR AND VISUALLY INSPECT FOR DAMAGE. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT, I THOUGHT SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE BROKEN, OR THE TIRES WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. THIS CAR HAS APPROX 16,000 MILES, AND NEVER HAD ANY DAMAGE. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AND IT ONLY HAPPENS ON TARMAC TYPE SURFACES, WHILE GOING 60-75 MPH.

WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE ON A HIGHWAY DOING SPEED OF 70 MPH WHEN COMING TO A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD ON A CURVE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO SEVERE SHAKING MODE, EVEN AFTER CANCELING THE CRUISE CONTROL BY EITHER BRAKING OR CANCELING MANUALLY IT CONTINUES. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPS IS IF I PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY.

STEERING WHEEL LOOSE AND HAS A LOT OF PLAY. ALSO WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OVER 50 MPH AND HIT A POT HOLE OR A SMALL BUMP, VEHICLE REAR WOBBLES AND ALMOST HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

THE WIRING GOING TO THE STEERING COLUMN KEEPS SHORTING OUT MAKING IT SO THE HORN, STEERING WHEEL ELECTRICAL BUTTONS AND LIKELY AIRBAG STOP WORKING. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS THE CLOCK SPRING. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE PURCHASED WITH 12000 MILES AND REPLACED TWICE. AT 22000 MILES THE DEALER CANNOT KEEP IT FUNCTIONAL. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE LACK OF FUNCTIONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH. THIS ALSO LEADS TO LOSS OF VALUE IF THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT PROVIDE A SOLUTION.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THROUGH A DOUBLE CURVE ON A CITY STREET THE STEERING LOCKED UP ON MY 2018 JEEP WRANLGER. A STEERING ERROR, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT ALL CAME ON. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THIS IS NOW THE 3RD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER (TWICE VIA TOW). EACH TIME, THE SCANNER HAS GIVEN THE SAME CODES YET FCA HAS RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME STATED ITS FIXED. THE STEERING LOCKING UP COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT HARMING MYSELF OR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

MY 2018 WRANGLER VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN HITTING ANY SMALL BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 50+ MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME IT FORCES ME TO UNSAFELY SLOW DOWN TO WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT OR PULL OFF OF THE ROAD UNTIL IT STOPS.

THE STERRING ON THIS VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE. I RESEARCH THIS ISSUES AND FOUND MANY OTHER OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING BOX AND IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACE. HOW EVER I HAVE NOT RECIVED ANY NOTICES THAT THIS IS TRUE. IM CONSERN THAT THIS ISSUES WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AND ACCIDENT WHICH IM TRYING TO AVOID. IVE HAD THIS ISSUES FROM THE FIRST DAY I ROLL IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT WAS 3 YEARS AGO. THANK YOU

BOUGHT A CERTIFIED USED 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JKU WITH 41300 MILES AFTER A MONTH AND ABOUT 1200 MILES LOCKED 4X4 IN DRIVING IN MY FIELD TO CHECK MY CATTLE GOT BACK ON ROAD TOOK 4X4 OUT DROVE ABOUT A MILE HEADING HOME SMELT BURNING SMELL FROM TRANNY SMELT LIKE CLUTCH HEARD BANG MOTOR REVED UP QUIT MOVING PIECE OF CLUTCH CAME THREW TRANNY

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP DOWN COUNTRY ROADS OR CITY HIGHWAYS THE STEERING IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I'M CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE STEERING TO TRY TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD, IT IS A WORKOUT JUST DRIVING ANYWHERE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY ON NARROW COUNTRY ROADS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH THE FEAR OF CRASHING INTO THEM! IF JEEP CANNOT FIX THIS ONGOING KNOWN PROBLEM VERY SOON THEN I WILL FOR SURE BE TRADING THIS DEATH TRAP OF A VEHICLE IN FOR SOMETHING MORE SAFE, RELIABLE, AND BUILT BETTER!

BEGAN SMELLING COOLANT (SWEET SMELL), ALTHOUGH COULD NOT FIND LEAK. AT 15,600 MILES (MAY 2020), VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO JEEP DLR FOR SERVICE. FOUND SMALL CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC PORTION OF THE RADIATOR. NOW, AT 18,600, THE SWEET SMELL IS BACK. WILL NEED TO TAKE IT BACK IN TO JEEP DLR AGAIN.

THIS VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE WANDER WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 35+ MPH. THE ENTIRE TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION BY THE DRIVER, AND IT IS WORSE ON NARROW ROADS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE COULD WANDER INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. THIS HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR A WARRANTY REPAIR AND A TSB WAS SUPPOSEDLY COMPLETED, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR WELL OVER 15 DAYS AT THIS POINT OVER 3 DIFFERENT VISITS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THERE WAS A LOT OF PLAY OR A "DEAD SPOT" IN THE STEERING BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO TIGHTEN THAT UP AND IT NO LONGER HAS THIS, BUT THE CONSTANT DRIFTING FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN THE TRAFFIC LANE FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND IS QUITE FATIGUING WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 20-30 MINUTES, AS THE DRIVER HAS TO HOLD ON TIGHTLY TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND MAKE CORRECTIONS CONSTANTLY. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING ON ICE, AND IT'S A REAL CHALLENGE TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRACK. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NO MODIFICATIONS OTHER THAN WHEELS AND TIRES, AND THE PROBLEM EXISTED WITH THE OEM WHEELS AND TIRES. NO SUSPENSION OR LIFT KIT, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 20K MILES ON IT. PLEASE HELP US!

PRESSURE PLATE BROKE CAUSING CLUTCH TO BURN OUT IN LESS THAN A MILE DRIVE. JEEP HAS 41K MILES ON IT AND ITS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIR

SINCE PURCHASE THE STEERING WANDERS EXCESSIVELY, THIS LEADS TO DRIVER FATIGUE ON LONGER TRIPS BECAUSE I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE CENTERED. EVEN WITH THOSE ADJUSTMENTS WHEN ON A LONGER TURN ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE IS JUST NOT RESPONSIVE TO INPUT TO MAINTAIN A SMOOTH RADIUS TURN. I DON'T HAVE ANY SORT OF SHIMMY OR SHAKE AND I'VE HAD IT TO MY DEALER FOR INSPECTION, EVEN PAID FOR AN ALIGNMENT OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED. I KNOW HAVE 42K MILES ON IT AND JUST OUT OF MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND FCA HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR REPLACING THE STEERING GEAR FOR THIS EXACT REASON HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS ISN'T CONSIDERED A POWERTRAIN COMPONENT OR A SAFETY ISSUE I AM OUT OF LUCK. THIS ISSUE IS DESERVING OF MORE ATTENTION DUE TO THE NEAR UNCOOPERATIVE AND UNCHARACTERISTIC STEERING BEHAVIOR.

THE CURRENT WRANGLERS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH STEERING. BECAUSE JEEP USED ALUMINUM STEERING BOX AND GEARS, AS OPPOSED TO STEEL, THERE IS AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF "PLAY" IN THE STEERING, SPECIFICALLY ON CENTER. WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH OR ABOVE, I CAN TURN THE WHEEL ALMOST A FULL INCH IN EITHER DIRECTION AND THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND AT ALL. THERE OTHER DAY I WAS ON A HIGHWAY WITH UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. JEEP HAS NOW ISSUED A TSB REPLACING THE ALUMINUM BOX WITH A STEEL BOX. THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS TSB PERFORMED STATE IT FIXES THE STEERING. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO MY DEALERSHIP 3 WEEKS AGO, WHILE HAVING JEEPCARES, THE NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR FCA, INVOLVED FROM THE START. FIRST THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE I HAD AN "AFTERMARKET" LIFT. WHEN I TOLD THEN THE LIFT WAS NOT AFTERMARKET AND IS MOPAR, THEY DEMANDED A RECEIPT TO PROVE IT. I BOUGHT THE LIFT OVER 1.5 YEARS AGO SO NO LONGER HAD A RECEIPT. THE ISSUE WAS ESCALATED UP THE CORPORATE LADDER MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL THEY FINALLY AGREED TO REPLACE THE STEERING BOX UNDER WARRANTY. THERE HAD BEEN INSTANCES OF JEEP OWNERS COMING IN FOR THIS TSB BUT DEALERSHIPS WERE NOT REPLACING THE STEERING BOX WITH THE STEEL VERSION PER THE TSB, JUST PUTTING IN ANOTHER ALUMINUM BOX. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. THE MAIN POINT OF THIS IS THIS STEERING ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE PUTTING FORTH EVERY EFFORT NO

WHILE MY 16-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE FL 528/BEACHLINE EXPRESSWAY THE ENTIRE CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE ASSEMBLY EXPLODED OFF MY VEHICLE. FLUIDS DRAINED AND IGNITED. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS BURNED TO ASHES. THE FULL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REPORT IS INCLUDED IN THE UPLOAD.

THE CLUTCH BROKE INTO PIECES AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE JEEP BARELY REACHED 50,000 MILES.

EVERY TIME I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY OVER 45 MPH I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH AROUND 1 INCH BECAUSE IF I DON'T DO THAT MY WRANGLER PULLS TO LEFT OR RIGHT MOVING OUT THE LANE, I HAVE INFORMED THAT AT DEALERSHIP WHEN I TAKE MY WRANGLER FOR SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2019, BUT THE ISSUE STILL NOT FIXED. LAST WEEK I WENT TO A ROAD TRIP OF 6 HOURS DISTANCE AND IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING AND EXHAUSTING TO BE DRIVING THINKING THAT I MUST PLAY WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID HAVING AN ACCIDENT.

THE 2018 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS IN OCT OF 2019 WITH A RACING ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES, MAY OF 2020 THE CAR HAD SEVERE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 5 DAYS. IN JUNE THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OCCURRED AND IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 6 DAYS. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO US THE DEALERSHIP SAID NOT TO DRIVE IT VERY FAR. ON JULY 23RD. THE CAR WENT ROGUE IN REVERSE AT 60 MILES AN HOUR BACKWARDS. NO PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR, IT JUST TOOK OFF, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM DID NOT WORK. IT WAS IN OUR DRIVEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME WELDS ON THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED THROUGHOUT THE SUBFRAME OF THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, SOME WELDS WERE NOT COMPLETED AND NOT CONNECTED TO THE JOINTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHNSON DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM DEALER (481 US-46, BUDD LAKE, NJ 07828), AND AN INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE WARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,000.

A DOING A BRAKE JOB FOUND THAT THE LEFT SIDE, FRONT AXLE WAS LEAKING. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 53,500 MILES.

HAD ISSUE EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN BRAKE WHERE APPLIED. NOW IT DOES NOT EVEN WORK. VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 54,000 MILES ONLY WHEN I TRIED TO TEST IT SINCE THE LAST INCIDENT.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE DAY. WE WHERE GETTING READY FOR A TRIP AND THAT NIGHT IT RAINED AND WE NOTICED WHEN MOVING THAT WAS A WATER LEAK. THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE CENTER OF THE FREEDOM PANELS. THE WATER DRIPPED ON THE ELECTRICAL MIRROR THEN ON TO THE RADIO AND FINAL INTO THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTIER. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER ON THAT DAY SINCE IT WAS A RAINY DAY THEN AFTER.

USB PORT 2. FAULT MALFUNCTION WITH CONNECTED TO USB CABLE.SHOWN OFF THE RADIO CREATING FUSE/RELAY MALFUNCTION.

HELLO - I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2018 JEEP WRANGLER JL. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE ISSUES WITH STEERING AND THERE HAS BEEN NO SOLUTION. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE THAT MENTION THE LOOSE STEERING IN THE 2018 MODELS. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS PAST 50MPH THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ROAD WANDER, STEERING WHEEL PLAY AND LACK OF CONTROL WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REJECTED THIS STATING THAT THIS IS SIMPLE "A JEEP THING." I AM NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO TURN AND AM ACTIVELY HOPING TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS. THANK YOU.

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER BY THE NHTSA BACK IN MAY OF 2020. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP (CROWN CHRYSLER AND DODGE) TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR AT THE END OF MAY. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE GOING TO ORDER THE NECESSARY PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE AND WOULD CALL ME BACK. I NEVER RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL BACK FROM THEM, EVEN AFTER I CALLED BACK SEVERAL MORE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 3 1/2 MONTHS, TRYING TO GET THIS SAFETY RECALL FIXED. THEY ARE REFUSING TO RETURN CALLS ON THIS MATTER, REFUSING TO PERFORM THE RECALL FIX AND REFUSING TO TAKE A WRITTEN COMPLAINT FROM ME OVER THE MATTER. NOW WHEN I CALL THEM ASKING FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE RECALL, THEY SIMPLY HANG UP ON ME. PER THIS SAFETY RECALL, MY VEHICLE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CATCH FIRE WHILE BEING DRIVEN, PUTTING MYSELF AND FAMILY IN DANGER.

FIRST TIME USING THE DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. JEEP IS ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT. CRACK IS EXACTLY IN THE SAME LOCATION THAT OTHERS ARE REPORTING TOO. BOTTOM CENTER WHERE THE GASKET MEETS.

EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL. THERE IS A DEAD ZONE FROM 1-2" LEFT AND RIGHT. VERY HARD TO STEER ON HIGHWAYS AND THE JEEP WANDERS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. DID NOT DRIVE LIKE THIS BEFORE AND I'VE HAD IT FOR TWO YEARS. AFFECTS IT AT ALL SPEEDS BUT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING THE SERVICE DRIVE OF A MAJOR FREEWAY IN DETROIT GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT..NO TURNS. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I THOUGHT THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS FALLING OFF. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPED THE CAR. I DROVE HOME WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES.

THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ISSUE WITH THE STEERING WHICH CAUSES THE DRIVER TO KEEP ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL CONSTANTLY. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS BOTH ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. IT CAN FEEL LIKE THE JEEP WRANGLER IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND REQUIRES A VERY ATTENTIVE DRIVER.
