APPROX 4 MONTHS AND 3700 MILES OF HAVING MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED, DURING REGULAR DRIVING ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE WARNING CHIMES WERE ON, ALL GAUGES DROPPED AND CONTINUED TO FLASH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND THE LIGHTS REMAINED FLASHING AND FLICKERING FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 20 SECONDS I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 30 TIMES SINCE THEN AND ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN REGULARLY AND AFTER SHOWING THEM 2 VIDEOS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. NOW AT 47000 MILES MY WARRANTY IS GONE AND THIS TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIRBAG REMAINED ON. I DON'T KNOW IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED OR ARE SEPARATE, BUT NOW IT KIND OF "SPUTTERS AND PUT-PUTS" WHEN ITS IN PARK AND WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. DEALERSHIP WANTS $150.00 JUST TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AGAIN AND TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE FAULT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE; IT HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD, IS GARAGE KEPT, AND NOT USED EVERYDAY. I DON'T WANT MY JEEP TO CATCH FIRE OR CONTINUE TO PUT ME AND MY CHILDREN IN A POSITION WHERE WHEN COULD GET HURT BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THESE ISSUES ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

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. I BROUGHT MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY EXPLAINED I NEED THE HEATING CORE REPLACED, AND DUE TO ITS LOCATION BEHIND THE DASHBOARD WILL COST ME $1000+ TO REPAIR, PRIMARILY DUE TO THE LABOR REQUIRED TO PULL OFF THE DASHBOARD AND OTHER CAR PARTS TO REACH AND REPLACE THE HEATING CORE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECOGNIZED SAFETY RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN BY JEEP/CHRYSLER WITH NO OUT OF POCKET REPAIR EXPENSE FOR THE VEHICLE OWNERS WHO EXPECT TO RECEIVE SAFE, HIGH QUALITY, WELL DESIGNED PRODUCTS FROM JEEP/CHRYSLER.

IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I HAD TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHT, WHITE KNUCKLE, AND PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE WOBBLE STOPPED. I BRIGHT TO JEEP AND THE SAID PROBABLY THE STEERING. THE CALLED ME LATER AND SAID IT WAS THE UPPER LOWER BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS, ALIGNMENT, AND STEERING. 2200 BUCKS. FOR A CAR THAT'S ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD NO REASON SOMETHING LIKE THE BALL JOINTS SHOULD BE THAT WORN OR THAT I SHOULD EXPERIENCE A DEATH WOBBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

IT HAS STOPPED WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP ETC. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. IT SCARES ME , AND MAKES ME FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I HAVE CHANGED THE WAY I DRIVE BECAUSE OF IT, WITH THE FEAR OF WORRYING MY JEEP WILL JUST STOP RUNNING , WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE SWITCHES IN THE CAR NOT WORK, AND FUNCTION ERRATICALLY. LIGHTS STAY ON, WHEN TURNED OFF, AFTER TURNING THEM OFF NUMEROUS TIMES, THEY FINALLY GO OUT. I HAVE HAD MY BREAKS RESPOND ODDLY, AND GET WEAK. I HAVE HAD THE HEATER NOT COME ON, THEN TURN SWITCH AGAIN AND IT WORKS. HAVE HAD DEFROST SOME ON WHEN DEFROST WAS OFF. NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS, MALFUNCTION. I DON'T BOTHER WITH JEEP, AS MY MILEAGE IS OVER 36,000- NO MORE WARRANTY, BUT THESE THINGS BEGAN, ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO INTO JEEP OWNERSHIP. THESE PROBLEMS USED TO BE INFREQUENT, BUT NOW THIS POWER FAILURE HAPPENS OFTEN. SOME DAYS IT HAPPENS 4-5 TIMES. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER, I DO NOT WANT TO BE INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE'S HURT ,BECAUSE OF IT EITHER. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND FIND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, IT IS COMMON. I ALSO HAVE A WHISTLE IN THE BRAKE LINE, VACUUM I THINK??? IT CAUSES THE BREAKS TO NOT BE STRONG AT TIMES.
