Consumer Description

DASH WARNING “SERVICE AXLE LOCKER SYSTEM” . I HAVE NEVER USED MY AXLE LOCKERS ONCE, NOR BEEN OFF ROAD WITH MY JEEP & THE DIFFERENTIAL TRIED TO LOCK ITSELF. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF DIFFERENTIAL LOCKS COULD CAUSE FATALITIES. YES, HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION, HAVE HAD THE REAR DIFF REPLACED ONCE, THE REASON: DIFF OIL SLOWLY WORKS ITS WAY INSIDE THE SENSOR OVER TIME AND SINCE DIFF OIL HAS METALLIC FLAKES IN IT FROM THE BEARINGS/GEARS IT WILL CAUSE THE CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE LOCKER SENSOR TO SHORT OUT. ONCE THAT HAPPENS THE ONLY FIX IS A NEW AXLE. YOU CANNOT BUY THE SENSOR SEPARATELY. NOT ISOLATED SITUATION. MANY WRANGLER OWNERS FROM 2018 TO 2021 POSTING THIS UP. ACCORDING TO JL WRANGLER FORUM, FCA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX YET. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A $65K VEHICLE IN FIRST 90 DAYS! SEVERAL OWNERS ON 3RD AND 4TH AXLE REPLACEMENTS. THERE ARE 30 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS. DECIDED TO REPORT THIS AS IT APPEARS FROM THE FORUM FCA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX THIS IS APPEARING ON SEVERAL JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON'S,
