When it rains the front and rear floorboards fill with puddles of water from the bottom somehow. No traces of water along the doors or windows.
I am reporting significant premature rust on my 2020 Jeep wrangler. The rust is visible on all four doors and the hood. The vehicle has been properly maintained, regularly washed, and has not been exposed to unusual or extreme environmental conditions that would justify this level of corrosion. The rust appears along the bottom edges and seams of each door, as well as along the leading edge of the hood. These areas show bubbling paint and visible oxidation, which is spreading. Given that this vehicle is only five years old, this level of corrosion is unacceptable and inconsistent with the quality and durability expected from Jeep. Warranty Considerations: This issue should be covered under Jeep’s 5-year/unlimited mile corrosion (perforation) warranty and/or the basic corrosion coverage, as the rust appears to originate from beneath the paint along factory seams — suggesting a defect in materials or workmanship, not owner neglect.

- when driving on the highway, vehicle and steering wheel will shake uncontrollably if going over any bumps or grooves. vehicle is available for inspection and is currently being inspected by nearest dealership. - car would begin shaking and steering wheel would begin shaking and locking up. - problem is currently being assessed by nearest jeep dealership. - no warning signs or messages appeared prior to vehicle and steering wheel trembling. problem first appeared 1/2/2024.
1. Corrosion which is a Jeep/Mopar known issue - paint bubbles on the aluminum doors/hinges. No recall/fix. 2. Death Wobble: Also known as loosing control to steer the car. This is a huge issue with all stock and this has not been addressed yet. There are a lot of videos and cases out there to proof this case. 3. Coolant Reservoir leak: Recently there are 276 coolant reservoirs needed from Mopar for this car configuration. Information provided by a Jeep/Mopar parts service employee.
Multiple areas of my jeep are starting to rusting and corroding. Jeep knows there are issues and are doing nothing about it. Not only is it unsightly but rust also compromises the structural integrity of the body of the vehicle.
Aluminum body and paint bubbling and showing corrosion on doors, hood, and hinges. I called jeep but they are saying that the issue is only on the Gladiator, which is not accurate. It's also on the Wrangler Sport that I have, and they don't want to fix it. What do I do?
There is significant paint bubbling around all the door hinges and on the hood as well. This poses a concern because the areas are increasing in size as well as a safety issue as they’re around the door hinges. This Jeep was sold to us in Sept 2022 with these issues. The defect is getting worse.
Bubble paint appeared on all the car doors including the truck door as well as the engine door and the windshield frame driver corner. I went to south bank dealer in Ottawa and the took pictures many time and they say approved and never call. And then they say they will fix the spots only which is so weird to fix rusted bubbled paint in a new car. They should change all the doors as the metal is already damaged by rust. These cars are expensive and quality and guarantees should be provided for such vehicles. The factory should recall my car for full repaint or change color if needed on new doors and the whole car. You can go on Google and just type bubble paint on Jeep and you will see these cars are treated in the market. The company treated this car like garbage because of the...
On January 2, 2023, at about 4:00 PM I encountered the ‘Death Wobble’ while driving in my 2020 Jeep Wrangler (2-door) VIN: [XXX], purchased from Dave Smith Motors, Kellogg, ID on about 7/17/2020. I was driving North on I-15 about 10 miles South of Nephi, UT. I was traveling in the left lane at Freeway speeds (75-80 mph) when the front of the vehicle commenced to shake violently. My first thought was that both front tires had blown, although I did not observe any obstacles on the wet driving lanes. My second thought was, how do I get out of these mess without causing a major accident on that very busy stretch of Freeway holiday traffic? I, of course, braked and pulled to the left in an attempt to avoid getting rear-ended and immediately encountered snow and ice on the left shoulder and then on the ground adjacent to the...

TEST DROVE A 2020 JEEP SAHARA ON 8/7/2020 AND DROVE GOOD. BOUGHT A WHITE ONE BUT WAS NOT READY SO IT WAS GOING TO GET DELIVERED THE NEXT DAY AT MY HOUSE. WHITE 2020 JEEP SAHARA WAS DELIVERED ON 8/8/2020 AT AROUND 12:00 PM. SALESMAN SHOWED ALL FEATURES AND LEFT. I DID A TEST DRIVE AROUND 5:00PM, WEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND STEERING WAS REALLY OFF, DID A TURN AROUND TO COME BACK HOME. AT 55 PMH I TRIED TO CHANGE LANES AND I I LOST CONTROL AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH. STEETING WAS VERY LOOSE GOING LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT. FELT I WAS SWERVING SO MUCH AND DID NOT FEEL THE SAME AS THE ONE WE TEST DROVE AT THE DEALERSHIP. CALLED DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS STILL BRAND NEW THAT THE ROADSIDE ASSITANCE WAS NOT AVAIBLE, LEFT ME THERE IN THE...
QUALITY OF THE SUSPENSION WELDS TO THE FRAME OF THE JEEP. THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SUSPENSION BRACKET APPEARS TO HAVE QUALITY ISSUES (E.G., POROSITY, CONSISTENCY, APPEARANCE). REMOVAL OF THE BRACKET SHOWED SIGNS OF POROSITY IMPACTING THE FRAME. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY DURING THE WORK BEING DONE ON THE JEEP OTHER WELDS ON THE FRAME AND SUSPENSION BRACKETS APPEAR TO HAVE QUALITY ISSUES
BONDED INTRUSION BAR SEPARATED FROM DOOR SKIN. SEPARATION CAUSES RUBBING/CHAFFING/NOISE WHEN DOOR IS OPERATED AND WAS WHAT ALERTED ME TO THE PRESENCE OF THE ISSUE. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE DOOR MUST BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE HAPPENED IN MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON AND THEY REPLACED THE FRONT TWO DOORS ON MY JEEP. FCA HAS CLEARLY NOT CORRECTED THIS DESIGN ISSUE, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IT LEADS TO A WEAKENED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY/SAFETY FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT BECAUSE THE FIX INCLUDES REPAINTING PART OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, MANY PEOPLE WILL NOT WANT TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLES REPAIRED. ALSO, DEPENDING ON PERSONALITY, IT MAY BE VERY EASY TO OVERLOOK THE NOISE THAT CALLED MY ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE. BONDING LIKE THIS IS USED EXTENSIVELY IN MODERN VEHICLES. IF THEY HAVE A...
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. WHILE PARKED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE LEANED DOWNWARD.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,700. THE VIN WAS INVALID.
