The defrost vent for the windshield spans the length of the whole windshield but only comes out of the center of the vents, the sides in front of the driver and passenger do not blow air and creates a visibility problem since snow will accumulate where the heat doesn-??t blow. Very common issue as I can see from extensive research

I was not informed of this recall when I purchased my Jeep at the dealership. Per recall, clutch pressure plate recall. The risk is high. Is extreme risk. It may catch fire. It may cause crash. I don-??t feel safe driving my vehicle. I-??ve been to dealership twice and they told me there-??s no solution yet. I outreached Jeep via email directly.

I almost actually died twice on a road trip when i hit uneven pavement on major interstates and had to come to a complete stop in the middle of a major highway with semi trucks swerving all around me. This jeep has the death wobble and I can't get anyone to recreate the issue to get it fixed.

A fire can result in increased risk of occupant injury and injury to persons outside the vehicle. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NO INFORMATION WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE.

Driving on the highway, when the roadway changed from paved to a bridge roadway, the vehicle began shaking uncontrollably and i had to hit my brakes and pull off the side of the road. I was going 75mph at the time. The vehicle now shakes uncontrollably when i hit any type of bump and i have to pull over. my front tires start shaking like a broken shopping cart wheel and it looks like they-€™re about to fall off when looking at the car from outside. I went to jeep and they said the issue is a steering damper issue. based on several online reports, it looks like this is a common issue with jeeps and no recall is being put out

I had the rear defrost repaired at the Jeep dealer under the manufacturer warranty. The first time I used the rear defrost in cold weather after the repair the rear window exploded while driving on the freeway. Extremely loud explosion and glass was everwhere in the rear seat and behind the rear seats. Nobody was in the back seat therfore no injuries.

While driving at highway speed into sun glare, the driver-€™s side sunvisor spontaneously detached from the support arm, fell down, and obstructed my view causing me to take emergency action to regain full traffic / road vision. I safely pulled to side of the road. No collisions or injury occurred but this could have easily resulted in a crash. Further inspection showed the plastic snapped allowing the visor arm to detach from its mount on the windshield frame causing it to fall into field of view. Unquestionably a safety concern and a design flaw.

I was driving down the interstate and the sun visor fell and obstructed my view. I had to manipulate it back to the clip to get it to stay out of my way, all while driving at high speeds and in traffic. Doing an online search I see where the visor is defective in many of these vehicles. Luckily I wasn't involved in an accident, but the potential was there as the visor broke and dangled in my view of the road at Interstate speeds. I found this image and mine looks the same. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/attachments/20190914_175938-jpg.228307/

On 7-13-21 rear defroster for the jeep wrangler sport hardtop rear windshield was repaired at Larry H. Miller chrysler/jeep/dodge at 8528 Lomas blvd ne, Albuquerque NM 87110. On 10-1-21, I used the rear defroster for the first time since repaired. 5 minutes into my commute to work, rear windshield shattered while driving. Luckily it did not cause an accident. I could smell something burning and remaining glass was hot to the touch. There were no pedestrians or vehicles nearby. There were no signs of any external projectile causing the shattered glass. Took to dealership where they refused to cover under warranty and would not admit that the defroster was responsible. In fact, they say it is impossible the defroster could cause that. Checking online, it appears that it is not only possible, but pretty common. I believe fiat/chrysler is intentionally trying to cover up this problem. Luckily there was no accident and no one was hurt in this instance.

Vehicle was taken to a local repair shop after hearing an occasional clicking sound on the front passenger side. After inspection the mechanic determined the weld connecting the control arm to the chassis had failed. If the pieces had completely separated at a high enough speed, serious injury could have resulted.

When in the automatic shut off mode, the car will lurch forward forcefully when trying to park. The vehicle will jump the cement parking barriers and can cause the vehicle to hit what is beyond the barrier, such as the wall of the building beyond the barrier.
