This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Heater core constantly -€œclogs-€ and no longer blows hot air on drivers side of the vehicle. Either through the defroster vents or floor vents, this makes it difficult to defrost the drivers side windshield or side window (can-€™t see side mirror!). Jeep wants me to spend &3500 to replace entire system!!!
This event occurred on 12/16/2022. The temperature was 30 degrees Fahrenheit and was snowing in Chicago. Upon turning on the defrost setting in the vehicle, the windshield began to crack and put the safety of the passengers at risk. Upon keeping the defrost on, the crack on the windshield contend to grow (larger than 6"). There were no previous cracks or damage to the windshield. There were no warning lights or messages indicating any issues with the windshield.
Rear view camera failure. 2017 -2022 Jeep Wrangler JK, JKU, JL, JLU, and Gladiators have become infamous for back-up camera failures. Mine failed at 12,000 miles. Hundreds have failed with less then 1,000 miles. Others during pre-purchase test drives. As this equipment is a required safety device as of 2018, this has become a major safety recall issue. Go to any Jeep forum and type in -€œBack-up Camera failure-€ and you will find 100-€™s and 100-€™s of reports. Jeep is not properly addressing the issue as there are dozens of reports of multiple failures. There are indications that the failures may be related to MOPAR-€™s wireless software upgrade program, but no one knows for sure. As well, Jeep-€™s near silence on the issue is concerning. When returned to a dealership the reaction is usually one of surprise and astonishment that the problem has occurred followed by a hefty repair cost if the vehicle is out of warranty. This is a serious defect in a federally mandated safety device and needs to be addressed. I appreciate it if you would look into this issue as it is affecting thousands of Jeeps. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the rear windshield wiper nozzle was fractured and allowed water to be squirted inside the vehicle. As a result, the rear windshield wiper did not clear the windshield. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 47,000.
