Electrical system, Feb 15, 2019
VEHICLE BRIEFLY LOSES POWER AND ENGINE TEMPORARILY TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES THIS OCCURS WITHIN 1 SECOND TOTAL, AND IS BARELY NOTICED. HOWEVER, TODAY IT OCCURRED FOR NEARLY 5-10 SECONDS, AND I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED IN TRAFFIC DUE TO IT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, IN THE CITY, ON A MAJOR STREET, DRIVING STRAIGHT WITHOUT ANY HAZARDS OR EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. HAS OCCURRED OVER 20 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW.

JEEP WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WHEN WE HAD A STORM ON FEB 1 THRU FEB 3, 2019 AND I ENTER MY JEEP AFTER THE 3 DAY STORM THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR WAS IN 3 INCHES OF WATER AND TOTALLY FLOODED. I GOT TOWELS AND SOAKED THE WATER UP. THEN WE HAD ANOTHER STORM TO COME IN ON FEB 4 AND 5, 2019 AND I PARK MY CAR FACING THE OTHER WAY IN DRIVE WAY AND AGAIN AFTER THE 2 DAY STORM MY JEEP WAS FLOODED AGAIN ON DRIVER FRONT FLOOR ABOUT 2 INCHES. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP WORKER AND RENTAL EMPLOYEE WHO I WAS TELLING THE STORY TOO SAID OH YOU MUST DRIVE A WRANGLER . THAT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. MY BIG CONCERN IS THAT I COULD SMELL MODE. WHEN I WENT BACK A FEW DAYS LATER A SERVICE REP WAS ON THE PHONE WITH ANOTHER CUSTOMER WHO WAS SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY ARE FIXING THE RUBBER AROUND THE DOOR FOR DEFECTS AND CHANGING CARPET. BUT I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RECALLING THE VEHICLE I ONLY HAVE HAD IT FOR 19 MONTHS.

ON 04/28/2018 I WENT OFF ROADING TO MY FAVORITE TRAIL. THE JEEP WAS STATIONARY UNTILTHE CAR STARTD TO SLOWLY MOVE WHILE IT WAS ON PARK. IN AN ATTEMPT TO BREAKS AND STEER AWAY FROM THE WATER THE TRUCK STEERING AND BREAK WASN'T RESPONDING TO EITHER DIRECTION. TOOK POLICE ENFORCEMENT A WHILE TO RESPOND AND AS THEY ARRIVE THE TIDE TOOK THE VEHICLE AND SUBMERGED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD
Power train, Jan 8, 2019
ON EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVING JEEP LOOSES POWER SUDDENLY AND SLOWS TO A STOP. ONCE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE MUST KEYED ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES, AND EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN ON EXTENDED INTERSTATE TRIPS OVER 3+ HRS. NO CEL CODES HAVE BEEN THROWN SO THE DEALER HAS NOT TAKEN THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. I'M NOT EVEN SURE THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH JEEP TECHNICAL SUPPORT. WE ARE UNSURE WHAT TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE AS WE DO NOT TRUST TO TAKE IT FOR ANY TYPE OF TRIP. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR MANY OTHER ISSUES UNDER WARRANTY AND I WONDER IF THEY ARE ALL RELATED SOMEHOW VIA AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM LUBBOCK AT POSTED SPEEDS OF 70 AND 75 MPH MY HOOD STARTED TO FLUTTER AND JUMP. I WAS ON 2 LANE ROADS AND IF A TRACTOR TRAILER PASSED ME THE HOOD WOULD ACTUALLY RAISE UP. I PULLED OVER AT A CONVENIENCE STORE AND CHECKED TO ENSURE MY HOOD STRAPS WERE ON AND THAT THE HOOD WAS CLOSED AND IT WAS. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE HOOD IS WAY OUT OF ALIGNMENT, WAY OUT OF FACTORY SPECS HOWEVER THEY CANNOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A FRAME STRAIGHTENER (MY TERM NOT THEIRS). THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TRIED TO BLAME IT ON A FENDER BENDER WHERE THE FRONT PLASTIC BUMPER GUARD IS DENTED IN AND I TOLD THEM THAT HAPPENED IN THE PROCESS OF PARKING AND BELOW 10 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO FOUND MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OUT OF ALIGNMENT WHICH WAS LEAKING ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, FRONT WINDOW AND ROOF HOWEVER THESE WERE LEAKING BEFORE THE FENDER BENDER. THERE IS ALSO A RATTLE IN MY DRIVER'S SIDE BACK DOOR THAT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT SEEM TO HEAR THEREFORE CANNOT FIX. I PULL OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AND HEAR IT RIGHT AWAY!

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.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 JEEP RUBICON OFF ROAD, IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OBSTACLE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES FROZEN. WITH ALL MY MIGHT I CAN NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS SLOWLY ROLLING BACK DOWN OFF AN OBSTACLE, THE FRONT AND REAR AXLES WERE LOCKED. AS I BACKED UP THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL STARTED TO GET LIGHT SO I WAS TRYING TO STEER SO THE JEEP LEVELED BACK OUT, BUT WITH ALL MY MIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE AND BEFORE I NEW IT THE JEEP WAS LAYING ON ITS PASSENGER SIDE. THE STEERING LOCKING IN THIS MANNER HAS HAPPEN THREE TIMES IN MY NEW RUBICON AND ALSO HAPPENED IN MY 2003 RUBICON. I UNDER STAND THE STEERING BEING HARD OR BEING ERRATIC WITH THE FRONT BEING LOCKED, BUT TO NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL EVEN WHEN THE TIRES ARE ROLLING DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. IS THIS A FACTORY DEFECT OR BAD ENGINEERING ON JEEPS BEHAVE?

VEHICLE PURCHASED USED 09-09-18 1ST STALL 09-25-18 DEALER SERVICED AND ONLY FOUND A COMPUTER UPDATE WAS NEEDED. CAR PICKED UP FROM DEALER AFTER 1ST REPAIR ON 10-05-18. WE PICKED UP THE CAR ON 10-05-18 & DROVE IT HOME AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE 2ND STALL OCCURRED. SAME EXACT THING BUT THIS TIME WE WERE ON A BUSY STREET AND COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. 2ND STALL INCIDENT WAS ON 10-06-18 EARLY AFTERNOON I WAS ON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED TO MAKE THIS WEIRD NOSE LUCKILY I WAS ALMOST HOME SO I CAME TO STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND WAITED FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR AS I LET GO OF THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE GAS TO ACCLERATE THE CAR STALLED WOULDNT MOVE OR GO FORWARD. I THEN TRIED TO SEE IF IT WOULD GO IN REVERSE AND CHANGED GEARS BUT IT WOULDN'T THIS TIME THERE WAS NO ERROR OF "VEHICLE NOT IN PARK" THE VEHICLE JUST WOULDNT MOVE, GO FORWARD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE AND I WAS STUCK ON A BUSY STREET WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I THANK GOD IT DIDNT GO FORWARD JUST A LITTLE CAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I THEN TRIED SHUTTING OFF THE CAR TO SEE IF I COULD BE GET IT TO MOVE AND PUT IT BACK TO DRIVE AND IT STILL WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER 2017 VEHICLES FOR AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD WHERE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH A VOLTAGE REGULATOR CHIP IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT MAY FAIL, CAUSING A STALL OR A NO START CONDITION. CAN YOU PLEASE CHECK IF THIS IS SIMILAR BECAUSE WE JUST PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON 10-05-18 AFTER NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG AND ONLY A COMPUTER UPDATE WAS DONE. WE HAD THE CAR FOR A DAY AND IT IS ON ITS WAY BACK TO ONTARIO JEEP TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND OUT WHATS WRONG. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT COULD BE DONE.

THE VEHICLE STARTED BY ITSELF WHILE PARKED. THE IGNITION HAD BEEN TURNED OFF AND KEYS REMOVED FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE RUNNING, DOORS LOCKED AND IGNITION IN THE OFF POSITION. TO TURN OFF THE ENGINEI INSERTED THE KEY, TURNED IT TO THE ON POSITION AND THEN OFF. THIS OCCURRED ONCE IN MY GARAGE, CAUSING CARBON MONOXIDE EXHAUST TO ENTER THE LIVING QUARTERS. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME WHILE PARKED AWAY FROM HOME, WITH THE KEYS REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, BECAUSE IT WAS PLACED IN PARK WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF.

AT ABOUT 4,433 MILES, MY PASSENGER COMPLAINED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NOT RECLINE. I INSPECTED BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT RECLINERS, AND FOUND BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES UNDERNEATH BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER INBOARD RECLINERS. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED AND REPLACED BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBACKS. AT ABOUT 8,052 MILES, THE PASSENGER SEAT INBOARD RECLINER FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED AND REPLACED THE PASSENGER SEATBACK. AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES, THE DRIVER INBOARD RECLINER FAILED AGAIN. TO DATE, THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT REPLACED THE FOURTH FAILED RECLINER. I HAVE PROVIDED FCA WRITTEN NOTICE OF THESE FAILURES. SINCE FOUR SEAT RECLINERS HAVE FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 20,000 MILES, I AM CONCERNED THAT A DESIGN, MATERIAL, OR WORKMANSHIP DEFECT EXISTS. I AM ALSO VERY CONCERNED HOW THESE FAILED SEAT RECLINERS WILL PERFORM IN A CRASH. UPON RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES WITH THESE SPECIFIC MODEL YEAR SEAT RECLINERS AS WELL. SEE NHTSA ID NUMBER 11074326.

IN HIGH WINDS OR PASSED BY APPROACHING LARGE VEHICLES THE HOOD FLUTTERS DANGEROUSLY. I HAD TO INSTALL AFTER MARKET HOOD HOLD DOWN LATCHES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. $100 TO CORRECT THE HOOD FLUTTER. IT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE.
Structure, Jul 20, 2018
HOOD FLUTTER. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEEDS, IF WINDS ARE HIGH OR PASSING AN ONCOMING LARGE TRUCK, THE HOOD WILL FLUTTER DUE TO THE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM THE WEAK RUBBER LATCHES THAT SECURE THE HOOD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. RESEARCH CLEARLY INDICATES THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. IN SOME REPORTS I HAVE READ, THE LATCHES CAN BREAK AND CAUSE MASSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER IN HARMS WAY.
