2012 JEEP WRANGLER Unknown Or Other Problems

Horn and all other steering wheel functions don’t work. Appears to be clock spring

N/A

I bought a 2012 Jeep Wrangler with 97,000 miles on it in December 2022. It was brought in for service due to some issues with the dash screen lighting, right blinker, and the heater. They first told me that all parts were on back order. I looked up the parts myself as I have a wholesale account and I showed that they were not on back order. I let them know this and conveniently, they were able to get all parts within a week. They called me when the vehicle was done for repairs and when I was driving it home, I noticed that the odometer was off by 23,000 miles. When I drove my vehicle home after having work done, it was at 74,355 miles. The dealership told me to bring it in right away. I brought it in the next day at 4:30pm. After a week, they told...

I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I DROVE IT HOME OVER 500 MILES AWAY I NOTICED THE HEATER STARTED BLOWING COOL AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKED FINE. AS DAYS WENT BY IT GOT WORSE AND THE DRIVER SIDE NOW COMPLETELY DOESN'T WORK. BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES. I GOOGLED THIS AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SAYING THE SAME THING. MOST PEOPLE POINTING TO THE HEATER CORE AND THAT SOMETHING BLOCKS ONE OF THE OUTLETS. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. APPARENTLY OTHER PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH EVEN LESS MILES ON THEIR JEEPS AND ALSO LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER BUYING THE JEEP. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING KNOWING I HAVE A VERY LIGHTLY USED VEHICLE WITH MINIMAL MILEAGE WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS...

CLOCKSPRING GOING OUT , CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL AND HORN NOT WORKING PLUS NO PART AVAILABLE UNDER THE PART # 05156106AC. NOW TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T CLEAR.

AIR BAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. EVERYTHING SAY CLOCKSPRING ISSUE FROM ALL I HAVE READ ONLINE. HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON, LEFT HANDED MODELS NOT COVERED.

MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY STARTED VIOLENTLY POPPING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IT IS VERY RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE MAKING IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. I COULD BE PULLING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION, TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN/ LIGHT OR PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING SPACE INTO TRAFFIC AND MY SHIFTER WILL SUDDENLY JUMP OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL, CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWER. THERE IS A LOUD SOUND AND A FEELING OF SCRAPING LIKE THE GEARS ARE BEING STRIPPED. THE STEERING ALSO GETS VERY SHAKY EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS (APPROX 40 MPH) IN THE SAME WAY IT WOULD AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN IN NEED OF A HIGH SPEED BALANCE. THIS IS MY 3RD JEEP WRANGLER, ALL OF WHICH HAVE HAD MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS (A 1989, 2004 AND THIS 2012). I'VE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES AND SPORTBIKES SINCE 1989 FROM TOYOTAS...

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, HORN DOESN'T WORK, RADIO CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T WORK. I'M SURE IT'S THE CLOCK SPRING BUT ACCORDING TO RECALLS MINE WASN'T UNDER THE RECALL. WORKED PERFECTLY ON WAY HOME FROM WORK, GOT IN A FEW HOURS LATER TO GET DINNER AND NOTHING WORKED, AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HORN WOULDN'T WORK.

AFTER REPLACING BATTERY (2 X) AND HAVING ALL BATTERY CABLES THOROUGHLY CLEANED CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT START FROM PARKED POSITION. ALTERNATOR AND STARTER ALL PASS TESTS AS OK. TURNS OUT WIN WIRELESS MODULE IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

ATTEMPTED TO START MY JEEP ON THE STREET PARKING AND THE ALARM WENT OFF, HORN BLARING, WIPERS AND FLUID ON CONSTANT, ALL LIGHTS FLASHING, REVERSE LIGHTS ON, AND IT WOULD NOT START. PULLED THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND SENT IT OUT FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THE TIPM WAS IN COMPLETE FAILURE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND THAT 2007-2015 TIPMS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND IT WAS REJECTED.

THE VEHICLE IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING OR ACTING AS IF ITS GOING TO CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION CAUSING A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE JERKING MOTION. IT ALSO POWERS OFF AND WILL NOT MOVE UNTIL 3-5 MINUTES LATER REGARDLESS OF WHAT GEAR IT'S IN. THIS VEHICLE HAS CUT OFF ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND HAS EVEN CAUSED ME TO BE STUCK IN THE ROAD BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND I ALSO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC RECEIPTS THAT CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE WHEN THEY INSPECT IT. HOWEVER, ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS WATCHING CHANNEL 4 NEWS AND THEY REPORTED A RECALL FOR 2011-2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND DURANGOS FOR ENGINE STALLING ISSUES RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP. I ALSO FIND AN ARTICLE ONLINE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AS WELL (HTTPS://WWW.USNEWS.COM/NEWS/US/ARTICLES/2019-11-21/JEEP-DODGE-SUVS-RECALLED-DUE-TO-RISK-OF-ENGINES-STALLING). I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE...

SAME CASE REPORTED ON SEPT. 24/2019 , INCIDEND # NHTSA 11257650.

2012 JEEP SAHARA RADIO STOPPED WORKING. IT CUTS IN AND OUT (ONLY STATIC). WIPERS GOES OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS AND NOW WIPER FLUID DOESN'T COME OUT

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT ISSUE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. I BELIEVE IT FIRST OCCURRED IN 2016. THE VEHICLE WILL JUST STALL ON A CITY STREET, IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, OR EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. FUEL WAS NOT RELATED AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON A FULL TANK OF GAS OR A QUARTER TANK. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED) BECAUSE OF THIS DANGEROUS HAZARD, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE SO IT WAS NEVER FIXED. I EVEN SHOWED THEM VIDEO EVIDENCE 3 TIMES. THE VEHICLE JUST STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING (IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC). THE RPM WOULD JUST GO TO ZERO, AND WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR BACK UP, IT WOULD TRY TO CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF FOR 5...

I PERSONALLY BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS HIDING INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THERE HAS JUST BEEN A RECALL FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM OF THE COMPASS, LIBERTY AND PATRIOT. IF ALSO APPLIED TO A SIMILAR EXHAUST SYSTEM ON MY WRANGLER I COULD HAVE AVOIDED A $1600 REPAIR FOR A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. FURTHERMORE MY WRANGLER IS BURNING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES. THIS IS A VERY TYPICAL PROBLEM ONLINE. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR MY JEEP. AT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (LAHTI'S JEEP, LEOMINSTER), CHRYSLER WAS SUPPOSEDLY GOING DOWN TO LOOK AT THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR JEEP. LAHTI'S HAS TOLD ME THEY THINK CHRYSLER IS DODGING THEIR CALLS. NO MECHANIC HAS CONFIRMED THIS AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION IS OK. CHRYSLER TELLS ME ITS "NORMAL." FINALLY, MY JEEP HAS JUST STARTED VIBRATING WHILE STOPPED (IN GEAR) WHILE HOLDING THE BREAKS. THE VIBRATING CREATES...

THIS VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE BETWEEN THE REAR OF THE ENGINE AND THE FIREWALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALL FIRE SUPPRESSION EFFORTS FAILED AND THE VEHICLE BURNED TO THE GROUND. THIS VEHICLE HAD JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BEING SERVICED FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE A LONG HISTORY OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS REQUIRING SERVICE, ALL OF WHICH WAS DONE AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY BEFORE THE FIRE BEGAN IT LOOKS LIKE THE VEHICLE STARTED LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT WAS BEING OPERATED AT ABOUT 50MPH ON A PAVED ROADWAY JUST PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE FIRE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN PULLING TO A STOP AND PARKING AFTER LEAVING THE MAIN ROADWAY AND PULLING INTO A PRIVATE DRIVE OF A RESIDENCE. A TRAIL OF FLUID WAS FOUND ON THE MAIN ROADWAY BEGINNING JUST PRIOR TO THE TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND ENDING AT THE JEEP. THIS JEEP HAD NO...

MY JEEP HAS THE CLOCKSPRING DAMAGED AND MY HORN STOPPED WORKING AND ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON .

CONTINUING ISSUE WITH LITTLE OR NO HEAT BEING PRODUCED IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOUR TIME IN THE PAST SIX YEARS. IT WORKS FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE ISSUE REOCCURS. THIS EFFECTS THE ABILITY TO DEFROST/DEFOG THE WINDSHIELD AS WELL AS MAKING THE INTERIOR VERY COLD DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. CHRYSLER CANNOT FIX THE ISSUE EVEN WITH A TSB HAVING BEEN ISSUED ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

HEATER STOPPED WORKING, LEADING TO LACK OF DEFROST AND INABILITY TO CLEAR CONDENSATION FROM WINDSHIELD. ONLY COLD AIR COMES OUT OF THE VENTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2012 WRANGLERS CHRYSLER ISSUED A STAR CASE S1207000008, BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO OFFER A FIX. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH WINTER COMING SOON IN MICHIGAN.

MY VEHICLE'S HEAT IS VERY POOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHICH CAUSES DEFROSTING ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED BUT THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS. DURING THE FLUSH I FOUND WHAT APPEARED TO BE CASTING SAND IN THE COOLANT RESERVOIR.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD JUST RANDOMLY ALERTS OFF AND ON AND THIS WAS AT THE SAME TIME ALL THE LEFT SIDE PANELS OF THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING INCLUDING THE HORN. IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT SHIFTS THE AIR BAG PASSENGER ALERT SYSTEM LET'S YOU KNOW IT'S NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A CLOCKSPRING AND IT'S AIR BAG WIRING UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT TO THE ALERT SYSTEM. I SAW ON THIS SITE WHERE IT MENTIONED A CLOCKSPRING PROBLEM.IT DOES THIS WHETHER STOPPED OR GOING. THIS IS CONTINUOUSLY AN ISSUE NOW. PLEASE ADVISE HOW I NEED TO PROCEED WITH THE RECALL.

THE VEHICLE LOSES COMPLETELY HEAT ANNUALLY SINCE 2013.

THE HEATER ON MY JEEP, WHICH ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT, SLOWLY STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. THE CALLED LATER THAT DAY AND SAID I NEED A NEW HEATER CORE WHICH COSTS $1200. THE NEXT DAY THE CALLED BACK AND SAID THAT I ACTUALLY NEED A NEW HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT, ETC. BASICALLY THE WHOLE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE ENGINE AND THE ESTIMATE IS UP TO $2200. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM WHICH IS FRUSTRATING. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A RADIATOR PROBLEM THAT SENDS PARTICLES THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND CLOGS THE HEATER CORE. I'M HOPING THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL SO THAT I CAN RECOUP SOME OF THIS $2200 THAT I'M ABOUT TO HAVE TO PAY TO FIX MY JEEP. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT APPARENTLY!

MY JEEP WRANGLER JKU HAS THE SAME ENGINE AS THE CHRYSLER 200, THE 3.6 PENTASTAR. THE HEAT DOESN'T WORK. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT REACHES OPERATING TEMP. THE FLUIDS ARE AT OPTIMUM LEVEL, NEW THERMOSTAT. PERFORMED A RADIATOR FLUSH AND OTHER HEAT TROUBLE SHOOTING CHECKED OUT. I HAVE ABOUT 88,000 MILES. THE DEALER SHIP DID SOME WORK ON A CYLINDER HEAD AND DISCOUNTED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAVOR BUT AFTER I LOOKED INTO THE FIX, I FOUND OTHERS WITH SAME FIXES.

THERE ARE MANY OF THESE VEHICLES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO AND THEY HAD ISSUES LEAVING RESIDUE IN HEATER COIL MAKING THE HEAT NOT WORK PROPERLY. IF THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IT CAN CAUSE ISSUES WITH PERSON NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE DUE TO HEAT NOT BEING EFFECTIVE ENOUGH TO DEFROST A FROSTY OR ICY WINDSHIELD. JEEP HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL AND THE BURDEN IS PUSHED OFF ONTO THE CONSUMER. THESE ARE COSTLY REPAIRS AND I AM SURE MANY PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIR THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER. IF YOU GOOGLE "NO HEAT IN 2012 JEEP" ALL THE COMPLAINTS ARE THE EXACT SAME. THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO ANYONE OWNING A VEHICLE THAT MAY NOT HAVING WARM AIR TO KEEP WINDOWS CLEAR OF DEBRIS.

THE HEAT JUST STOPPED WORKING. I SEE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND PRESENTED LAWSUIT AGAINST JEEP. IT WAS WORKING FINE, STOPPED AT STORE THEN NOTHING BUT COLD AIR ON THE WAY HOME. ONCE FINALLY HOME, TURNED CAR OFF THEN BACK ON A FEW MINUTES LATER. STILL COLD AIR. TURNED ON HIGH THEN ALL THE WAY COLD THEN ALL THE WAY BACK TO HOT AND FINALLY WARM AIR AGAIN. PLEASE CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE THE "MOST AMERICAN CAR". THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT THIS TANK. TIME TO DO THE AMERICAN THING AND BACK YOUR PRODUCT AND DO THE RIGHT THING.

WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. TODAY I WHEN FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND WAS TRYING TO PARK ON A BUSY STREET AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN START THE VEHICLE AGAIN BEFORE I COULD DRIVE AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD POSSIBLY KILL SOMEONE IF THIS HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE. IVE READ MANY REPORTS ON LINE OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 26000 MILES. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD OR DAMAGED. IT RECENTLY STARTED STALLING. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. INITIALLY NONE OF THE DIAGNOSTICS FOUND ANYTHING AND THEY GAVE IT BACK. IT CONTINUED TO STALL WHILE STOPPED AND STALLED, TEMPORARILY, ON THE METRO TRAIN TRACKS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGAIN COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG-BASED ON MY READING I SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE THE TIPM. THE DEALERSHIP DROVE IT AGAIN AND SAID IT DID STALL ON THE MECHANIC. SO THEY FIXED SOMETHING ($700) DEALING WITH THE POWER. I PICKED IT UP AND IT STALLED ON ME AGAIN ON THE NEXT DAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (RIVER OAKS JEEP IN HOUSTON) AND THEY DID NOT RETURN MY CALL. I HAVE ALSO SUBMITTED AN ONLINE REPORT. 2 DAYS AGO, THE JEEP AGAIN STALLED...

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON 10/5/15, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, WHEN MY JEEP SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING IT TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A DITCH. THE JEEP HIT THE FRONT END OF THE DITCH AT AN ANGLE THAT LAUNCHED IT AIRBORNE, THEN LANDED ON THE CEMENT WALL OF A CULVERT APPROXIMATELY TWO FEET AWAY. THE JEEP BOUNCED TWICE ON THE CEMENT WALL, CRACKING THE FRAME IN TWO PLACES, THEN LANDED IN THE CULVERT, HIT THE FRONT END OF THE CULVERT, THEN HIT A SMALL POLE WHERE IT FINALLY STOPPED. DESPITE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE TIME, NOTHING IN THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE WORKING. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEATBELTS DID NOT ENGAGE, CAUSING ME TO SLAM MY FOREHEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH EACH IMPACT (3-4 TIMES, I HONESTLY DON'T RECALL) AND HITTING MY CHEST ONCE ON...

THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND YET STILL NOT RECALLED THE TIPM JUST FAILED IN THE JEEP (SECOND ONE IN A MONTH) THIS TIME IT DID IT WHILE DRIVING. THE JEEP WENT ALL APE [XXX]. ALARMS GOING OFF, TRYING TO RESTART, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T WORK. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH AND DIE. HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND CONTINUED WHEN I GOT ON TO THE CITY STREETS THE DEALER MECH SAID IT PROBABLY WENT BAD AGAIN(IN LESS THAN A MONTH) I SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES(OTHER SUVS FROM SAME COMPANY HAVE RECALL ON THE PART, JUST NOT THE WRANGLER) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE HEAT SHIELD BAFFLE ABOVE THE MUFFLER BECOMES COMPLETELY UNATTACHED BECAUSE BOTH THE NUTS HOLDING IT IN PLACE AND BAFFLE ITSELF CORRODE AWAY. THE BAFFLE THEN DROPS ON TO THE MUFFLER AND RATTLES. THE BAFFLE IS MADE OF VERY THIN METAL. THIS JEEP IS A 2012 WITH ONLY 30000 MILES.

FROM: CUSTOMER VEHICLE: 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT, PURCHASED NEW IN 2012. REFERENCE: PROBLEMS IN HEATING SYSTEM TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I PURCHASED A NEW 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT FROM HENDRICK CHRYSLER JEEP IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC. FOURTEEN MONTHS LATER, I MOVED TO FLORIDA, WHERE THERE WAS NO NEED TO USE THE HEATER. UPON MY RETURN TO NORTH CAROLINA IN THE WINTER OF 2014, I NOTICED THAT HEATER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS NOT AS WARM AS THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE FOLLOWING WINTER, THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FADED TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS BARELY WORKING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE AND SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT HENDRICK JEEP SERVICE CENTER, I LEARNED THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS LIKELY THE PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO FLUSH THE HEATER CORE. IN JANUARY 2015, I TOOK MY JEEP TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO HAVE THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED, WHICH FIXED...

STARTED WITH A WINDOW LEAKING ON OCTOBER 2, 2012. THEN PROCEEDED TO TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT.. WELL ON MAY 26, 2014 I WAS WORKING.. I WORK FOR USPS AND IT IS A RIGHT HAND JEEP I NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENTS OF MY JEEP.. I STOPPED LOOKED UNDER HOOD SEEN NO FIRE. SCARED TO DEATH AND NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON.. I SIT THERE FOR A WHILE AND IT STOPPED. CALL DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT TO THEM AND THEY RETURNED TO ME WITH "NO OBVIOUS PROBLEM". APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPEN AGAIN. SMOKE COMING FROM VENTS.. THIS TIME MY JEEP CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED TO THE GROUND!! I LATER DISCOVERED, AFTER THE FIRE, THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL THAT I NEVER RECEIVED.. I BECOME AWARE OF THE RECALL FROM A COWORKER WHOM HAD BOUGHT HER JEEP 1 MONTH AFTER...

FIRE

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL N28 ON MY JEEP. I HAVE GONE TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS TO TRY TO GET THIS RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED. THE HEBERT TOWN AND COUNTRY DELAERSHIP IN SHREVEPORT LA ALWAYS CAME UP WTIH AN EXCUSE AS TO WHY THEY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE WORK (THEY HAVE TO DO AN INSPECTION FIRST, NEED AN APPOINTMENT, THEN THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART, ETC... BUT THEY WOULD NEVER DO THE INSPECTION). THEN MY HUSBAND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH LANDERS IN BOSSIER CITY LA TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE... APPROXIMATELY A WEEK PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT THEY CANCELLED IT DUE TO BEING "TOO BUSY". WE THEN RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE AUTOMATED APPOINTMENT LINE AND GOT RESCHEDULED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TODAY (AUG 4, 2014) AND WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, WE WERE INFORMED THEY COULD NOT DO THE WORK BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY WERE "TOO BUSY" AND WE...

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PART (TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TUBE) SINCE LAST JULY. I CALLED IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED BY MY DEALER AND THEY PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST. ALMOST A YEAR LATER (AND SEVERAL PHONE CALLS DURING THIS YEAR TO THEM) I AM STILL ON THAT WAITING LIST. MY RECALL STATES: "...OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH INSUFFICIENT TRANSMISSION FLUID MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." I AM SUPPOSED TO BE OKAY WITH THIS? I TRIED TO TRADE IT IN FOR A NEWER MODEL, BUT THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE ME A DECENT DEAL. MY JEEP IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. *JS

I'VE CALLED ABOUT HAVING THE SAFETY RECALL N28/NHTSA 13V-234 TAKEN CARE OF SINCE DECEMBER 2013 AND MY DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO CHOOSE NOT TO ADDRESS THIS. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT 3 MONTHS BACK AND EVERYTIME I CALL DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT SENT THEM PARTS TO FIX RECALL. NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL . SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUSH THEIR GAS PEDAL UNEXCEPTABLE. *TR

PURCHASED A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT ON 3/3/12 AT ROUGHLY 2PM CST. AT ABOUT 4PM CST, I PARKED THE JEEP IN MY APARTMENT'S PARKING GARAGE. I DECIDED AT ABOUT 6PM CST TO GO GET SOME DINNER, AND TO CRUISE AROUND AS WELL IN THE NEW VEHICLE. I OBSERVED SMOKE COMING FROM THE PARKING GARAGE, AND WHEN I GOT INTO THE GARAGE, I OBSERVED MY NEW JEEP ON FIRE. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. BOTH FRONT TIRES EXPLODED AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE, AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS COMPLETELY DAMAGED. THE INTERIOR IS DESTROYED; BASICALLY TOTALED OUT. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH 11 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, AND ENDED WITH ABOUT 17 TOTAL. *TR

WATER FILLING UP ON THE INSIDE FRONT FLOORBOARDS WHEN IT RAINS; COMING IN FROM FIREWALL; POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. *KB
