My gauge cluster is having a problem and I dont know why my jeep is covered under the recall when its the same part in every other jeep that is having the same problem? I would really like to know how used can pick one Jeep model and not the others? When all the same parts are in the jeeps
The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Wrangler. While the contact’s wife was driving with the heated steering wheel activated, the driver attempted to adjust the steering wheel position, and suddenly an electrical short occurred, causing white smoke to come from the center of the steering wheel. The vehicle was immediately stopped, and the heated steering wheel and heated seats were deactivated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 82,000.
#11716895 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | | N/A miles
around august of 2025 the gauge cluster went black and i can no longer see my total miles, gas gauge, and any warning lights that may appear on screen i.e. door ajar. because of this, i have almost gotten in car accidents because my gas runs out unknowingly. one time it put me in serious danger on the interstate having to add gas while cars were flying past me. there were no warning lights, check engine lights, or any other lights that would suggest failure. it just went black one day random day. we recently got into a car accident, this occurred after it had gone out and upon inspection the mechanic confirmed it was not associated with the accident and suggested looking into recall because jeep currently has recalls on gauge clusters, which is why i am reporting now. it is available for inspection upon request.
#11713157 | STEERING | | N/A miles
My Jeep Wrangler when driving 65mph or higher starts to wooble making it very hard to control. Usually it happens when there is small bumps roughness in the road. This issue started since it got to the 22K miles.
#11712821 | STEERING | | N/A miles
I was driving on the interstate and when I went over a little bump my truck started to shake like it was going to loose control. I read up on this and people who own jeeps refer to it as the death waddle is there a recall on this issue.
