WHILE DRIVING DOWN OUR JEEP WRANGLER DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY HUSBAND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND SAID HE HEARD SOMETHING HISSING THEN HE SAW FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AT THAT POINT THE JEEP WOULD NOT STEER OR ANYTHING SO HE SHUT IT OFF AND MY HUSBAND AND SON GOT OUT OF THE JEEP. MOMENTS LATER THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE KEEP WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY STARTED GOING OFF AND ON THEN OFF COMPLETELY, THEN WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF, THEN INTERIOR LIGHT AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS & LOCKS LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED THEN JEEP SUDDENLY DIED. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE ALMOST HOME SO MY HUSBAND COASTED IT INTO OUR DRIVEWAY THEN WE NOTICED WHAT SMELLED OF ELECTRICAL FIRE, I LOOKED AT THE HOOD AND COULD SEE A GLOW. MY HUSBAND PUT IT IN PARK AS I YELLED FOR MY DAUGHTER TO WAKE UP & GET OUT. MINE & MY HUSBANDS DOOR WERE UNLOCKED BUT THE BACK TWO DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK. I JUMPED BACK IN THE CAR (THE FIRE WAS ON MY SIDE ) TO GET MY PANICKING DAUGHTER OUT RIGHT AS THE BACK DOORS UNLOCKED AGAIN WHILE STILL GOING OFF AND ON, AND MY HUSBAND GOT THE FIRE PUT OUT AND BATTERY UNPLUGGED WHICH WAS BY THIS TIME ON FIRE ALONG WITH THE FUSE BOX.

THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM THAT IS PART OF THE 430N RADIO HAS CRASHED. THIS STARTED OVER A 3 MONTH PERIOD WHERE THE SCREEN WOULD BLANK WHEN YOU TRIED THE NAVIGATION DISPLAY. IT HAS NOW CRASHED AND ONLY DISPLAYS "CANNOT UNLOCK MAPS". THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE HEAD UNIT HAS CRASHED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE I HAVE OVER 43,000 MILES ON THE JEEP THEY SAY IT WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THROUGH JEEP CUSTOMER CARE. IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED ON JEEP OWNER FORUMS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. I PURCHASED THE JEEP WITH THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM SO THAT MY WIFE COULD FIND HER WAY WHEN SHE TRAVELED. THE JEEP IS ON 27 MONTHS OLD AND THIS IS NOT A "MOVING" PART THAT DEVELOPS WEAR FROM USE. AGAIN JEEP IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS NOT TAKEN ANY STEPS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER FEATURES ALL STILL WORK, RADIO, BLUETOOTH. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS ASSIGNED A CUSTOMER CARE NUMBER. SINCE THEN I HAVE CALLED BACK FOR THE LAST FOUR DAYS AND MY ASSIGNED REPRESENTATIVE HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE JEEP/ CHRYSLER CORPORATION DOES NOT STAND BEHIND A PRODUCT THAT IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD.

IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE JEEP WRANGLER HEATER CORE PREMATURELY CLOGS AND SUBSEQUENTLY FAILS CAUSING LESS HEAT FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DEFROSTER VENTS. DURING THIS RECENT COLD SNAP IN MICHIGAN THE DEFROSTER STRUGGLED TO ADEQUATELY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OF FROST AND SNOW AND I FELT THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I APPROACHED MY JEEP DEALER AND THEY SAID "YEAH THE HEATER CORES GO OUT EARLY" NOTHING WE CAN DO, IT WILL BE $1500-2000 TO REPAIR AS IT INVOLVES REMOVING THE ENTIRE DASH. I HAVE NEVER HAD A HEATER CORE CLOG WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES, THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND IN COLD WEATHER CLIMATES COLD POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. A BRIEF SEARCH OF THE INTERNET LEADS TO A PENDING CLASS ACTION WEBSITE FURTHER GIVING PROOF TO THE WIDESPREAD KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE WEBSITE IS: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2017/JEEP-WRANGLER-HEATER-CORE-REPLACEMENT-LAWSUIT-CHALLENGED.SHTML I WOULD ASK NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER AS NOT HAVING ADEQUATE DEFROSTING CAPABILITIES COULD HINDER DRIVER VISION OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE FRONT WINDOWS.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED WITH APPROX. 22,000 MILES ON IT ON JANUARY 1,2017. I HAD BEGAN SMELLING BURNING FROM UNDER THE JEEP. WITH A OIL CHANGE THE MAN STATED THAT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT AND REAR AXIL ASSEMBLY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND MADE A APPOINTMENT. I HAD APPROX. 35000 MILES ON THE JEEP. I WAS TOLD AFTER PICKING UP MY JEEP BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE LEAKS WERE FIXED. IN ABOUT A 2 WEEKS I COULD STILL SMELL BURNING. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE RESIDUAL FROM BEING FIXED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I CALLED TO MAKE APPOINTMENT. I HAD CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND THE TIRES FOR ANY ISSUES. I TOLD SERVICE THAT THE JEEP BECAME ROUGHER TO DRIVE AND HARDER TO STEER, 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, HIT A BUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO POUND & SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT TIRES WERE SHAKING BACK AND FORTH FAST. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE JEEP. I PULLED OVER ( 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC) TO THE SIDE TO ASSESS THE ISSUE. THE TIRES WERE INTACT WITH NO VISIBLE ISSUES. WHEN I STARTED BACK UP THE WHEELS WERE NO LONGER DOING THE WOBBLING. I DID READ AND FOUND "THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IS A CREATIVE TERM COINED BY JEEP OWNERS THAT DESCRIBES A SITUATION WHEN THE FRONT AXLE BEGINS VIOLENTLY OSCILLATING, CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE (OR WOBBLE) IN A MANNER WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL". I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WORKER IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IT NEEDED FIXED. I DO HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT AND IT WOULD TAKE 2 TO 3 WEEKS BEFORE I COULD GET A APPOINTMENT. I WAS VERY UPSET KNOWING IT WAS NOT SAFE BUT HAD NO CHOICE TO MAKE THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT 2 WEEKS OUT. I WAS TOLD I COULD GET A RENTAL CAR, I STATED I WAS NOT PAYING FOR A RENTAL WHEN MY JEEP IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT SOONER. MILEAGE WAS 37,753

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS UNDER ACCELERATION THE BRAKES WILL LOCK-UP CAUSING AN ABRUPT STOP. THE VEHICLE THEN HAS NO ACCELERATION POWER AT THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED WITH NO INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. BASICALLY THE ABS IS ENGAGING BRAKES WITHOUT PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT IS LIKELY AND HIGHLY PROBABLY THAT THIS WILL CAUSE A FATAL OR NEAR FATAL REAR END COLLISION. IN TRAFFIC OR WHEN PULLING INTO A LANE OF TRAFFIC IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. ****** PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS***

I WAS DRIVING ON THE 91 FREEWAY EASTBOUND IN CALIFORNIA. SOMEBODY WAVE ME TO STOP. THE CAR GOT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING. AS SOON AS WE GOT OUT WE SAW THE FLAMES, IT GOT ON FIRE SO BAD THAT ONLY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH IT. SOME TRUCK DRIVERS TRIED TO EXTINGUISH BUT THEY COULDN'T. IT ONLY HAD 24000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE I ONLY USE IT ON THE WEEKENDS. I TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS THE SCARIEST AND SADDEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. I'M STILL WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED

2015 JEEP WRANGLER, IN MOTION, TRAVELING STRAIGHT, ON HIGHWAY (ROADS WERE WET FROM RECENT RAIN) & APPROACHING TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT MAJOR INTERSECTION. SIGNAL CHANGED FROM GREEN TO YELLOW. I PUSHED THE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND, THE JEEP DID NOT SLOW DOWN. THE JEEP CONTINUED TRAVELING STRAIGHT. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LEAST TWO MORE TIMES, DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. THERE WAS A VERY LOUD "GRINDING" NOISE COMING FROM THE JEEP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED INTO THE INTERSECTION WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP. THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW THIS VEHICLE DOWN, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK! THERE WAS NO CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE'S SPEED. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. CHECKED OUT THIS JEEP THE NEXT DAY & FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP & COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONCERN. WHEN I LATER DROVE THE JEEP HOME, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. FCA, CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WAS NOTIFIED. CHRYSLER ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER & CASE MANAGER. THE CASE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT SHE CALLED THE SERVICE/DEALERSHIP (WHO SERVICED THE JEEP THE DAY AFTER THE EVENT) AND SHE WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MGR. "JEEP IS OPERATING PERFECTLY & IS UP TO MY SATISFACTION". I INFORMED CHRYSLER, VIA PHONE & EMAIL, THAT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE AT ALL! I SENT CHRYSLER A WRITTEN, DETAILED REPORT OF EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO STATED THAT THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY DIFFERENTLY, WITH INJURIES AND OR DEATH! I NEVER HEARD FROM CHRYSLER AGAIN. AS OF TODAY, CHRYSLER HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY PHONE MESSAGES.

2015 JEEP WRANGLER SAFARI RIGHT REAR SIGNAL LIGHT WORK INTERMITTINGLY. VERIFIED THAT NOT POWER IS BEING TRANSMITTED TO THE RIGHT REAR SIGNAL LIGHT FROM THE TIPM. JEEP WILL NOT WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T INSTALL THE AFTER MARKET TOWING WIRING KIT. THE KIT WAS INSTALLED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD OVER 13,000 MILES. AT THE TIME THE PROBLEM WAS VERY INTERMITTING AND WAS ONLY NOTICED BECAUSE THE INSIDE SIGNAL BLINKER WOULD SUDDENLY BRINK AT A VERY FAST RATE. A FEW MINUTES LATE IT WAS OK. NOW IF YOU TURN THE SIGN LIGHT ON, AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS, IT START BLINKING VERY RAPIDLY INDICATING THE RIGHT REAR SIGNAL HAS FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 16,000 MILES AND THE SITUATION IS THAT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THAT I AM MAKING A RIGHT HAD TURN.

AFTER HAVING THE CHRYSLER JEEP MOPAR PERFORMANCE PART# 77072353AB_FS INSTALLED BY A JEEP DEALER, THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED. WITH JEEP VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN LIFTED USING THE OEM MOPAR 'JEEP PERFORMANCE PARTS' 4" LIFT KIT PRODUCT, WHEREBY FOLLOWING 'JEEP DEALER PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION' AND IN CERTAIN DRIVING SCENARIOS, THE REAR PROPELLER SHAFT COMES INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH BOTH THE VEHICLE'S EVAP TANK ON DRIVER-SIDE AND FUEL TANK ON PASSENGER-SIDE UNDER CERTAIN RAISED FRONT INDEPENDENT RIGHT OR LEFT WHEEL ARTICULATION SCENARIOS AND I HAVE PERSONALLY INCURRED DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES OEM PROPELLER SHAFT AND BOOT SLEEVE AND THE ADJACENT EVAP TANK AND FUEL TANK ITEMS FROM THE OEM PROPELLER SHAFT MAKING DIRECT CONTACT WITH BOTH THE EVAP AND FUEL TANKS UNDER THE VEHICLE. THIS 4" LIFT KIT IS A MOPAR SOLD AND JEEP DEALER INSTALLED PRODUCT AND THEY REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR REPLACING THE OEM REAR PROPELLER SHAFT WITH AN AFTER MARKET REAR DRIVE SHAFT THAT THEY RECOMMENDED AND INSTALLED THAT MITIGATES THE ISSUE OF ARTICULATION CONTACT OF THEIR OEM PROPELLER (WHICH IS LARGER IN DIAMETER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE SHAFT REPLACEMENT THEY SUBSEQUENTLY INSTALLED). I HAVE DOCUMENTED PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE OEM DRIVE SHAFT HITTING THE ADJACENT ITEMS UNDER THE VEHICLE WHICH I ALSO PROVIDED TO THE JEEP DEALER IN MY CITY OF RESIDENCE. HOWEVER, DEALER SAID THAT UNLESS THEY HAVE A SAFETY RECALL OR SOMETHING ELSE FROM CHRYSLER INDICATING THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT FOR ME... FOR SOME UNLUCKY PEOPLE, THE GAS TANK RUPTURING AND CATCHING FIRE WILL BE THE ONLY EVENT THAT MAKES THEM AWARE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER, JEEP, MOPAR HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY REALIZED NOR ADDRESSED...
