Vehicle Information: 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Complaint: I am reporting a safety issue involving my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon related to both the transmission and instrument cluster. In 2025, the transmission failed unexpectedly. The failure affected the vehicle’s ability to operate normally and created a potential safety hazard while driving. The issue required repair and appears consistent with other reported transmission problems in similar vehicles, even though my specific VIN was not included in any recall. In 2026, the instrument cluster failed, mileage at time of failure 108073. This caused loss or malfunction of critical driver information, including speed and warning indicators. This is a serious safety concern because it limits the driver’s ability to monitor vehicle operation and respond to potential hazards. These failures occurred within a year of each other and involve critical vehicle systems. I am aware that similar issues (transmission and instrument cluster failures) have been reported and/or recalled in other 2020 Jeep Wrangler vehicles, but my VIN has not been included. Given that the same components have failed in my vehicle, I believe this indicates a broader defect that may extend beyond the currently identified recall population. Safety Risk: Both failures pose safety risks: •Transmission failure can lead to loss of power or control while driving •Instrument cluster failure prevents the driver from seeing speed, warnings, and other critical information Request: I request that this issue be investigated and that the recall scope be reviewed and potentially expanded to include additional affected vehicles like mine.

I have owned my 2020 Jeep Wrangler since it was brand new. The middle instrument cluster panel (where it shows miles, fuel gauge, etc) quit working. I have checked fuses, disconnected the battery overnight, and disconnected the auxiliary battery and the instrument cluster is still not working. There is an established recall (30B) for 2018-2024 jeep wranglers for the instrument cluster failing but it doesn't appear my VIN is included. Checking Jeep forums, it appears to be a common issue, but an expensive one to fix.

My daughter was driving the 2020 jeep wrangler we bought her & the instructor cluster panel went blank. We have had the vehicle less than 1yr & it has only 38,000 miles on it. There is a established recall (30B) for 2018-2024 jeep wranglers for the instrument cluster failing but for some reason our vin is not included? Can you help with coverage for this?

I am the original owner of a 2020 Jeep Wrangler. My instrument cluster has completely failed. I know that there is an active recall for this exact issue (30B) but my VIN number is not included. This is clearly a safety defect as my cluster is non-functional, I do not have a speedometer or warning indicators.i have no idea how much or how little gas I have, if my tire pressure is low…I am the original owner, as stated ,and this is not normal wear. I am also aware that there is an open investigation into this recall and I believe my Jeep should be included in the recall. Prior to the cluster going out, there was not any warning. I started the jeep and it was working and as I was driving it went off. It never came back on. We checked connections and fuses, it’s not that. My husband has addressed it with two separate dealerships and was told there was nothing they could do and offered no suggestions. I went today and spoke with a new dealership and they put me in contact with Jeep Customer Care. I have begun the process but will most likely still be paying out of pocket with money, I frankly do not have. This is a safety issue and should be taken care of by Jeep, and is being covered for some by the recall.

The 3.5" screen on my jeep went out. Which prevented me from seeing speed, mileage and gas. They have recalled other jeeps from 2018-2024 but mine is not included because it has been in service for more then 24 months. We bought the jeep in 2023 with 20 some thousand miles on it. Why is there a time limit on a faulty part? Not everyone drives their cars 30,000+ a year, so problems with parts won't be known as early as 2 years. We replaced it and it cost $1600 plus a week of not having my car.

The instrument cluster has completely failed presenting a dangerous situation for driving. There are no warning lights, no speed indicator, no signal indicator, etc, etc. A simple Google search will show that this is a very widespread and well known issue with this vehicle, and a safety recall notice should be issued and the replacement should be covered by the manufacturer. The vehicle was inspected by the dealership and they confirmed it is the instrument cluster.

VISIBILITY/WIPERFebruary 24, 2026
The driver and passenger side sunvisors have both failed. The piece that holds the visor in place is apparently plastic and breaks easily, causing the visor to malfunction. This sounds minor, but not in winter when the sun is low on the horizon and blinding to the driver. The first visor I replaced was in 2021 (on a 2020 jeep). You have to replace the entire assembly (not just the part). Both sides have failed repeatedly. After driving around for months with the visors bungee corded up, to keep them from hanging and flopping around, I have now had my mechanic install after market brackets. This is a well known problem among mechanics that work on newer Jeeps. This may sound minor, but I do feel its an accident waiting to happen when driving towards oncoming traffic when the sun is low. Note that this jeep is primarily driven on paved roads - it is not being driven repeatedly off road in crazy conditions.
VISIBILITY/WIPERFebruary 24, 2026
The attachment for the rear defrost failed. The wiring for the rear defrost was poorly attached (bad glue?) to the back window. With the lack of trunk, jeeps end up with lots of moisture spraying onto the back window and freezing. This poor design causes a hazard by limiting visibility to solely the side mirrors.

Wife’s 2020 Jeep Wrangler’s IPC above the steering wheel went blank. No speed, no fuel gauge, no odometer or warning lights, no turn signal indicators. Chrysler Safety Recall (30B) (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 24V652000) states there is a problem with these including our year Wrangler, 2020. Dealer said we are out of luck because when they type in our vin number into their database, no safety recalls are listed. This problem is all over the internet 2018-2024 Wrangler (JL) models. What gives???? Don’t even know how much gas we have! 6 year old car should NOT have the IPC shut off! If that’s not a safety concern, don’t know what is????

The contact owned a 2020 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that there were strong fumes coming from the vehicle, causing the contact to sustain severe headaches and nausea. The contact had gone to the Doctor's Office, where blood work was completed. The contact was informed that no issues were found, and the Doctor inquired whether the contact had been exposed to any chemicals. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that fuel was leaking from a cracked quick connect and was entering the high fuel pump. The dealer determined that the high-pressure fuel pump lines needed to be replaced. The dealer related the failure to an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact stated while driving approximately 10-20 MPH off a ramp, the contact noticed smoke in front of the vehicle. The contact looked at the instrument cluster, and upon looking up, the contact noticed fire coming from underneath the hood. The contact depressed the brake pedal and jumped out of the vehicle while the vehicle was still rolling. The contact had not pulled over. The contact did not sustain injuries from the fire. A nearby Police Officer notified the Fire Department and Emergency Services because the contact had jumped out of the moving vehicle without the cellphone. The fire was extinguished by the Fire Department. The front end and the hood of the vehicle were burned to the ground. It was unknown whether a Fire Department Report was filed. A Police Report was filed. The vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss by the Insurance Provider. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure.

Shortly after leaving my house I glanced at the digital readout for my speed and noticed that the instrument cluster was blank. I pulled over, stopped my Jeep, then restarted it to see if that would correct it, which it did not. I took it to a reputable auto/electrical garage who at first noticed a master fuse block blown and replaced the fuse block. That didn't correct the instrument cluster however but they did find a recall 30B for 2020 Jeep Wrangler. I called Stellantis (1 800 334 9200) today, Feb 16th . I was told by 3 different people in 3 different departments that even though there is a safety recall on 2020 Jeeps my VIN# isn't included. I asked why not and was told that it depended where the Jeep was made. They also told me that the repair will be at my expense. This doesn't seem fair to me because the recall is a safety issue to replace the instrument panel cluster free of charge. Just because my Jeep VIN# wasn't included doesn't mean it wasn't going to fail like the others that were included!! I have no readouts on my dashboard and am sure it won't even pass inspection now because of that, let alone serious safety concerns without warning lights. I have to ask you, SHOULDN'T MY JEEP BE INCLUDED IN THIS SAFETY RECALL AND BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER?!?! Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter!

Instrument control panel does not function. It is a dark/blank screen not allowing driver to see vital functions and information about the vehicle. This vehicle had an alternator issue but could not be determined without extra tooling and labor to diagnose the problem. Safety is of paramount concern. Vehicle was taken into a dealership for inspection and determined that the "ICP" had failed and needed to be replaced for approximately $1600. This was before recall #30b had been initiated. The recall seemed to include this vehicle given the year and model listed in the recall order. Strangely, it is not included for this particular vehicle which is exhibiting the exact symptoms listed in the recall order.

Steering wheel electrical failure. Melted wiring inside steering wheel. Potential airbag and steering safety failure. Serious safety defect. Fire risk! While getting ready to leave a retail parking lot with heated steering wheel on, we became overwhelmed with fumes. Noticed the steering wheel was hot. Immediately shut off the car and opened the doors. When the fumes subsided, started the car and made sure the heated steering wheel was off. It no longer worked at all, when car was re-started. This could have been life threatening had we been traveling on the highway and not in a parking lot. Took vehicle to our dealer- Central Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge for repair. Dealer service advisor unable to diagnose exact cause due to extent of damage. Also commented shock that we didn’t experience a fire that could have caused the airbag to explode as well. Service advisor stated steering wheel heating element short and steering wheel wiring to clock spring melted due to excessive heat in circuit. I requested photos. I received one photo. I do not believe there were further inspections. Repairs were completed at my expense. Both dealership and Stellantis refuse to cover the cost of repairs citing I had no warranty coverage. I believe this goes beyond normal wear and tear. I did smell something mild, like sugar burning earlier in our errands yet it dissipated quickly and I assumed it was outside, in the air. It wasn’t until the overwhelm of fumes upon starting the car in a retail parking lot that we became aware there was a serious problem and immediately turned the car off.

I purchased this 2020 Jeep Wrangler from SunToyota car dealership in Holiday, FL on [XXX]. There have been several ongoing concerning safety issues with this vehicle and the car dealership over the past year since I purchased it. My vehicle has had immediate malfunctions and service visits upon purchase. On 12/31/24, the car went to the shop for broken visor (as is) as listed on service invoice- during this same visit I explained that turn signals lights were not functioning properly- was told that it was too much labor and they are aftermarket lights that the dealership cannot fix- dealership did not attempt to rectify the issue at this time. Broken visor/turn signal lights did not function properly upon purchase of the vehicle. In February, the car had what is known as the “death wobble” on major highways [XXX] and [XXX] in Florida, which was an extremely dangerous experience for all passengers in the vehicle. Invoice from 2/27/25 reflects suspension concern in regards to “death wobble” that was rectified, but again highly unsafe, and vehicle is beginning to shake again at high speeds as of December 2025. Invoice from 10/19/25 highlights the turn signal malfunction once again (it was never fixed from previous visit after purchase of vehicle and continued over several months). Car was taken back to dealer. Received call on 11/11 stating it was ready, to receive another call on my way there stating another issue with lights arisen. Received call on 11/12 stating it’s ready again, service advisor not present, and ALL lights flickering severely worse. Spoke to executive director, Dylan, who stated “[XXX] things happen” and walked away. Vehicle stayed at dealership. (Invoice from 11/12 highlights the turn signal issue again.). Vehicle was returned to me on 11/28/25, where lighting and turn signals appeared to work properly. As of December 2025, the turn signals have malfunctions again. When I tried to get in contact with the dealership they didn't call back. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROLDecember 27, 2025
The entire instrument cluster failed on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler and had to be completely replaced at the dealer. One day, when starting the vehicle, the entire cluster was off with no advanced warnings, no speedometer, no fuel gauge, no warning lights, no odometer, and no information display of any kind. The vehicle would still operate, but all gauges and dashboard functions were non-functional. To make matters worse, this occurred as we were leaving the hospital with our [XXX] child during a snowstorm. Our child had just been admitted for three days to the PICU for RSV-related issues. The safety of our infant was directly put at risk due to the complete loss of all dashboard and warning information while driving in hazardous conditions. We took the vehicle to the Plainfield, Indiana Jeep dealership and were informed that the entire instrument cluster needed to be replaced. We were charged $1,526 for this repair. Now, approximately one year later, the replacement instrument cluster is exhibiting similar issues. While driving, the cluster will randomly flicker or blink, indicating the underlying electrical or instrument-panel defect was not fully resolved. During these events, visibility of speed, warnings, and vehicle status is temporarily lost. This remains an ongoing safety concern. Given that NHTSA has opened an investigation into Jeep instrument-cluster failures, I believe this issue represents a systemic defect rather than an isolated incident and warrants further review.

My 2020 jeep wrangler just had its center instrument cluster go dark. This seems to be a known issue, and I believe there is a recall for 2024 models. The recall needs to be expanded as far back as the issue is being reported. This is dangerous situation with not being able to see the gas gauge, milage and additional critical information. To make matters even more unmanageable because the jeep needs to have the exact mileage known before replacing the instrument cluster the recommendation is to drop your car off at the dealer and not drive it until the part is replaced. Because this is such a large issue the current lead-time is 5 months to get a replacement part in. No one should be expected to leave their jeep at a dealership for 5 months. Our jeep dealer actually recommended getting an after-market replacement. I am reporting this to add my voice to many others who have experienced this same issue. I am also sure this is probably way under reported. Anything you can do to extend this recall back to at least 2020 would be greatly appreciated

Component or System: Driver’s sun visor assembly (hinge/mounting bracket near top left of windshield). Description of the Problem: While driving, the driver’s sun visor became loose at the hinge where it connects to the plastic mounting near the top left corner of the windshield. The visor then detached completely and was left hanging by the electrical cord, obstructing my forward view and creating an immediate safety hazard. Safety Risk: The detached visor blocked my line of sight while driving and could easily cause a collision if it occurs at highway speeds or in traffic. Additionally, with the bracket broken, the visor can no longer be used to block sunlight, increasing the risk of glare and impaired visibility during sunrise or sunset. Inspection and Confirmation: The issue was verified by a Jeep dealership; however, they stated that there was no permanent repair available other than visor replacement. This occurred several years ago while the jeep was still under warranty. Availability for Inspection: The defective visor is available for inspection upon request. Reproduction of the Problem: Based on multiple online reports and discussions found on Google and Reddit, this appears to be a common occurrence among Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles, specifically involving the driver’s sun visor detaching or becoming loose at the hinge. There are multiple videos/pictures of people complaining and asking how to fix the loose/broken clips for visors. Something more reliable that the OEM as it keeps malfunctioning. Warning Lamps or Messages: No warning lamps or messages were displayed prior to the failure. The visor detached suddenly without any indication.

My vehicle is experiencing a strong fuel smell and visible fuel leak, and a technician confirmed the failure of the fuel line. However, my VIN does not currently show as included in the recall, and I have been told the repair is not covered under warranty. Given that my Jeep has the same engine, same part number, and identical symptoms described in the official recall — I’m requesting one of the following: That the dealer be allowed to inspect the fuel line’s date code and replace it under Recall Y10 if it falls within the affected range, or That Jeep/Stellantis cover the cost of the repair as a goodwill safety-related assistance, since the failure occurred outside the normal warranty but is consistent with the recall defect. I take safety very seriously, and I hope Jeep does too. Please let me know what documentation or diagnostics you need from my service provider to support this request.

I am writing to get a good will repair for my of a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, VIN: [XXX] with approximately 50,000 miles. The estimate for the Jeep/Stellantis repair states after the inspection that my vehicle’s instrument panel cluster (IPC) has a serious internal defect that creates a safety hazard. Wrangler’s instrument panel has gone completely dark, leaving me without access to critical safety information such as speed, warning indicators, and fuel levels. The inspection and dealer diagnosis states that , this failure is due to an internal defect in the IPC, which is identical to the condition described in NHTSA Recall No. 24V-652. Although my VIN is not currently listed under Recall 24V-652, the symptoms and internal defect in my vehicle are the same failure mode as the recalls. Driving without a functioning instrument cluster is unsafe, placing myself and others at risk, and constitutes what is known safety defect with jeep wranglers.

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Failed Recall Repair and Improper Diagnostics Charges - Jeep Recall No. 23V116 (Manual Transmission Clutch Overheating) & Violation of 49 U.S.C. Section 30120 Dear Sir or Madam, I am submitting this complaint regarding an unresolved safety defect and improper repair charges related to an official recall performed on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler (manual transmission). The issue concerns Recall No. 23V116 and superseding Recall 21V028, which addresses clutch overheating and associated software logic. Prior to the recall work performed, my Jeep had approximately 23,000 miles on it, and I never had any issues with the manual transmission or transmission related warning codes. In May, I received letters informing me that I needed to take my Jeep to the dealership as soon as possible to have the above recall work performed to avoid potential overheating and fire hazards related to my clutch plate. In June 2025, I brought my vehicle to Don White's Jeep dealership on York Rd. in Cockeysville, MD. The dealership replaced the clutch hardware and performed a software update as required. I did not drive the Jeep for a couple of months due to weather and frequent rainfall during June, July & August. Upon driving the Jeep in August, the "Service Transmission" light came on, and I immediately notified the dealership, and they performed a software update to fix the warning light, admitting they did not realize the software update was required the first time. Two days later, the "Service Transmission" light came on again, and I immediately notified the dealership and dropped the Jeep off to be serviced. The dealership has now had the Jeep for more than a month and has not been able to resolve the "Service Transmission" issue. They are now refusing to perform any additional work unless I pay them approx. $1,000 in diagnostics fees. I opened a case with Jeep Customer Care and they also refused coverage and are demanding payment.

My front dash was not registering, so I cannot see my speed, gas tank, and all other info on it. When I took it to a mechanic, he had to replace the AGM Auxiliary Battery. It went from the normal square battery to the size and shape of balloon, causing a dangerous situation. The mechanic sent us to the dealership to finish the work as it should be covered under the recall. He also advised us not to drive it on our roadtrip as the INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER needs to be fixed and could cause fires as it’s under recall: RECALL NHTSA #24V-652. We need to get it fixed, but the dealership declined saying my Jeep Wrangler 2020’s VIN number doesn’t show the recall. So, now we are trying to get that recall established for this VIN number as it’s having the SAME ISSUES AS THOSE RECALLED. Now, we are trying to get the recall number to apply to my VIN so we can get the repair done. Frustrating to do a goose chase when a vehicle is having the SAME issue as those with the recall.

Instrument cluster failed. Jeep required me to send them the entire cluster (Vehicle Dash) in order for us to order new part. Submitting the cluster means I do not have access to the manual gages (speed, warning lights, and fuel gage). You also cannot hear your blinker signal or know if your high beams are on or off. You do not know how much gas in your tank and can run out at any given point (I have pictures of police helping as this happen to me; it is dangerous). There is an open file i have with jeep. They are aware of the issue. I told the dealership in Sept of 2024 it was flickering and they said it wasn't doing it when they had it serviced so there was nothing they could do. I took it in to another mechanic in May of 2025 once it was failed completely. Jeep informed my mechanic in May the part would be in. Then they emailed me (once i filed a compliant with their customer service )the part would be in by End of Aug. Now they are saying the End of September (subject to change).

Component or System That Failed: The instrument cluster on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon failed on February 25, 2025. The dealership confirmed the part was defective and removed it from the vehicle. The failed component is not currently installed, but the dealership retained documentation of the diagnosis and can confirm the failure. Safety Risk: The failure of the instrument cluster renders the vehicle completely inoperable. Without this component, the driver cannot monitor critical safety information such as vehicle speed, warning indicators, or fuel level. Additionally, the extended parts backorder means the vehicle has been disabled for months, leaving me without safe transportation. If this type of failure were to occur while driving, it could result in a sudden loss of critical safety data and increase the risk of an accident. Problem Confirmation: Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the authorized Jeep dealership where the vehicle has remained since February 25, 2025. They diagnosed the instrument cluster as the root cause of the failure. Inspection by Manufacturer or Others: The vehicle was inspected and diagnosed by the Jeep dealership. Jeep/Stellantis Customer Care has also been notified and opened Case #93386471, but has not provided a resolution. No inspection by police, insurance, or other third parties has occurred. Warning Lamps, Messages, or Symptoms Prior to Failure: There were no warning lamps, error codes, or prior symptoms before the cluster failed. The failure was sudden, and the instrument cluster stopped functioning entirely on February 25, 2025.

This creates a serious safety hazard, as the engine can shut down unexpectedly while driving, putting both the driver and others at risk. The issue has been confirmed by the dealership’s technician and shop foreman, and the vehicle has been at the dealer for over a month awaiting a replacement engine, which is currently on national backorder. There were no prior warning lights or error messages before the failure. The failure occurred without warning, and the vehicle is not drivable. This problem appears to be affecting multiple Jeep Wrangler owners and may represent a systemic defect that should that should be investigated!

I am reporting significant premature rust on my 2020 Jeep wrangler. The rust is visible on all four doors and the hood. The vehicle has been properly maintained, regularly washed, and has not been exposed to unusual or extreme environmental conditions that would justify this level of corrosion. The rust appears along the bottom edges and seams of each door, as well as along the leading edge of the hood. These areas show bubbling paint and visible oxidation, which is spreading. Given that this vehicle is only five years old, this level of corrosion is unacceptable and inconsistent with the quality and durability expected from Jeep. Warranty Considerations: This issue should be covered under Jeep’s 5-year/unlimited mile corrosion (perforation) warranty and/or the basic corrosion coverage, as the rust appears to originate from beneath the paint along factory seams — suggesting a defect in materials or workmanship, not owner neglect. Action Requested: I am requesting that Jeep/Stellantis authorize a warranty repair to remove the rust, treat the affected panels, and repaint to factory standards to prevent further deterioration. Given the extent of corrosion at this age, I believe this warrants prompt attention and resolution under warranty coverage. This has been a known issue on 2018 to current Jeep Wrangler and they have not resolved the issue. They keep selling Jeep Wrangler with this issue.

The instrument panel cluster stopped working suddenly. It is a 2020 Jeep Wrangler with 72k miles. I know there is a recall NHTSA recall #24V652000 for some Jeep Wranglers 2018 - 2024 for the same issue. Mine needs to be included. I cannot tell how much gas I have, what speed I am going, or warning lamp information. There were no symptoms - it just stopped working while I was driving. The vehicle has been inspected by two vehicle repair/inspection stations and it is not a fuse or the alternator / battery. Therefore - it is the instrument panel cluster (IPC).

Both left and right brake hoses failed internally causing caliper to lock closed. About 2 months ago I noticed upon application of brakes vehicle would pull hard to the right and the left front caliper/rotor brake system remained locked causing overheating to the point on smoking. This was remedied with replacement of hose, caliper and pads. Recently the jeep began pulling hard to the left upon braking, and the right caliper/rotor brake system were overheating due to the right brakes being stuck closed. Repair has not been completed as replacement parts from Chrysler are back ordered. I feel this is unsafe on multiple levels as it affects braking action including antilock brakes, causes premature wear on pads and rotors, and could create a situation where it affects wheel bearings and other nearby components.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEMJuly 25, 2025
I am the owner of a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL with the 2.0L turbo engine, and I am writing to report a fuel leak issue that I believe is related to Recall Y10 / NHTSA Campaign 21V-665, which involves the high-pressure fuel supply line (Part #68297642AD). My vehicle is experiencing a strong fuel smell and visible fuel leak, and a technician confirmed the failure of the fuel line. However, my VIN does not currently show as included in the recall, and I have been told the repair is not covered under warranty. Given that my Jeep has the same engine, same part number, and identical symptoms described in the official recall — I’m requesting one of the following: That the dealer be allowed to inspect the fuel line’s date code and replace it under Recall Y10 if it falls within the affected range, or That Jeep/Stellantis cover the cost of the repair as a goodwill safety-related assistance, since the failure occurred outside the normal warranty but is consistent with the recall defect. I take safety very seriously, and I hope Jeep does too. Please let me know what documentation or diagnostics you need from my service provider to support this request.
ENGINEJuly 21, 2025
Had to take my 2020 wrangler in to have accessory battery replaced as it had drained my newly purchased battery and my car wouldn’t start. Repair shop replaced both batteries and about a week later the check engine light came on for about 2 minutes then went off so I chalked it up to the battery replacement. It didn’t come back on again until about 3 weeks later when I started feeling a slip when going in to second gear. When I got home after having that issue I noticed a small collection of what looked to me like transmission fluid on my garage floor so I had the car towed to the repair shop again. They informed me that engine oil was mixing with coolant due to a bad oil cooler. Between that diagnosis and my car completely breaking down and cracking my engine block the car was driven a total of 14 miles at the most. There was never any other signs prior to me taking it to the shop that the oil cooler had gone bad and even when they replaced the batteries no codes came up for the bad oil cooler and nobody noticed anything while working in the area. . Since then I have learned that this has been an ongoing issue with the wrangler since at least 2012 models and there has been several class action suits that were settled out of court I’m assuming so they don’t have to spend the money recalling and repairing every affected vehicle and finding a fix for future models. Meanwhile I have only had my car for 2 years as of last week and now am being charged $15000 $8000 of which I have to pay up front to even find out how long the parts needed will be on back order. Could be a week could be a year. Not to mention that I have no car to drive and a car payment to make while I wait. This needs to be fixed as these cars are overheating out of nowhere and shutting down when it does. It’s a safety issue as well as a consumer issue.

One day, my check engine light came on but when I went to Auto Zone no issues came back. The light came on again a week later so I went back to Auto Zone (I attached the photo of the diagnostic they gave me). I went back to the Jeep Dealership and they said the next available would about a week later but I would be fine in the meantime. I unfortunately was not fine. I attached screenshots from the video of all the issues that popped up during the incident a few days later. My steering wheel locked up while I was driving. My car came to a complete sudden stop like it automatically went into park while I was driving. Then, the windshield wipers started going by themselves. My gas meter went down to E then back up and down. The car not go into park and it would not turn off by pressing the push start button. I had to call a tow truck because I could not move. It was very scary and extremely unsafe. My car has been at the same Jeep Dealership since then on June 17, 2024 with no updates and no repairs. I have been waiting in limbo. I have contacted higher management and even they have given me no answers.

I was pulling into work when my dash lit up with all warning lights, I was unable to shut my vehicle off. I had to disconnect the battery to do so. After a couple hours of being disconnected, it operated normal. Few hours later, went to leave a store and it lit up again, this time my steering was nonfunctional. The common issue was the can buss connector. For several years this has been an issue, apparently a TSB was placed but I am unable to find it. This should be a national recall. This part controls literally every electrical component of this vehicle. It's I intermittent and unknown to when it will malfunction. This creates a huge hazard to driving as when it does malfunction, you're unable to steer, your vehicle can shut off, it's not safe at all. Then come to find that the part isn't even covered as a replacement on the TSB. There is no reason this part should not be recalled, how does a small plastic block become defective other than poor craftsmanship? When the vehicle can't communicate to the other parts (engine, transmission, steering, fuel system, etc) that is a huge problem and is not worth the risk of death because someone can no longer drive or steer when going 65 mph.

The digital instrument cluster (Electronic Vehicle Information Center – EVIC) on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler has failed, and no longer displays critical vehicle information. This includes fuel level, engine and oil temperature, mileage, tire pressure, and other key dashboard data. This failure creates an unsafe driving condition due to the inability to monitor vehicle speed, engine status, or fuel availability. I brought the vehicle to the dealer, and they confirmed the cluster is nonfunctional, but also stated that my VIN is not covered under the existing recall. After extensive research, I discovered hundreds of reports from other Wrangler owners experiencing the same failure in 2018–2021 models, yet Jeep has only issued limited recall coverage, seemingly based on build date rather than known defective components. To make matters worse, no replacement parts are available, either through the dealership or third-party suppliers. I am now left without a fully functioning vehicle and no support or resolution from Jeep or its dealers. This is a widespread and well-documented issue that affects driver safety and should be subject to expanded recall or mandated remedy. I urge NHTSA to investigate why so many similar failures are not covered under existing recalls.

The situation detailed in document ZD8 is currently impacting my Jeep, as well as an overwhelming number of other Jeeps across the country. It is quite distressing to learn that the part I urgently need—the coolant bottle reservoir—is entirely on backorder. To make matters worse, this particular component is no longer being manufactured. What raises alarms for me is how this scenario can be regarded as acceptable at all. It prompts serious questions regarding the nature of the recall, particularly since it has been classified as voluntary. This classification appears to be quite misleading, given that the issue extends beyond just specific Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs). In reality, the problem has a much broader reach than merely the listed VINs, impacting a wider array of vehicles than is currently being recognized. It is troubling that so many Jeep owners are left without this essential part for their vehicles, beckoning a broader reflection on the accountability of manufacturers when faced with such significant issues. The extensive impact of this situation raises urgent calls for clarity, responsibility, and action to address the needs of affected consumers. This situation not only undermines trust but also highlights the pressing need for the automotive industry to prioritize consumer safety and welfare.

In the document (ZD8), although my VIN does not appear, I have unfortunately encountered the SAME EXACT problem. My Jeep first exhibited this issue back in 2022, and I managed to repair it at that time without being aware of the existing recall. As it stands, my vehicle is now at the dealership again, plagued by the SAME recurring issue. In trying to resolve this, I have tirelessly reached out to every dealership within a 75-mile radius of Katy. However, none of them have the requisite part(s) available in their inventory. To worsen the situation, I have been informed that I would be placed on an exceptionally lengthy waiting list. I strongly urge you to conduct a thorough reevaluation since it's apparent that this issue extends beyond the limited number of VINs currently covered in the document. At one distressing moment, this defect triggered a heart-stopping warning while I was driving on the highway: “Find a safe place to pull over; your vehicle is about to turn off.” Furthermore, this is the second occasion on which I have been compelled to address and replace the same issue. This situation is increasingly untenable, and it's vital that comprehensive action is taken to address this widespread problem rather than limiting focus to just the few VINs listed in file (ZD8).

The sun visors break off and fall down, obscuring view of the road ahead. This happened on both sides after two years of ownership, was replaced under warranty, then broke apart two years later out of warranty. The dealership demands hundreds of dollars to fix PER visor. For the exorbitant price for a part that shouldn’t even wear out like that (or that quickly), the only alternative is to buy third party brackets to secure the visors instead. These brackets are not made or offered in any way by Jeep or Mopar. Broken visors on 2018-2024 models are a well-known and very common problem according to Jeep’s own service technicians and hundreds of other Jeep owners online. Jeep/Stellantis should be forced to issue a recall on the visors / install for free the necessary securing brackets and offer full refunds to any customers who already paid out of pocket to get their visors replaced at the dealership. The part/design itself is faulty and having them replaced without the addition of extra securing brackets only guarantees that they will break again in the future. Having the sun visor suddenly fall / hit you / dangle in front of your face while driving is an absolute safety hazard and it’s shocking that nothing has been proactively done by Jeep to address this concern.

When I got to the side, the car was making a strange noise, so I called AAA to be towed. I had NO warning lights or anything to advise me that I was about to have an issue. I was lucky to get to the side of the highway without having a safety issue. After the mechanic checked out the car they noticed the Oil Pump had failed which caused the engine to seize. The car only had 63,176 miles on it with all the regular Oil changes performed at the jeep dealership. I had no leaks of oil, or warning lights and jeep didn't indicate any issues at the last oil change. I feel this is a big safety issue. Had I not got over to the side of the road, my car would be dead in the middle of the highway with no warning.

After my son and I tried unsuccessfully to find the problem we contacted our Jeep dealership, but couldn’t get an appointment until mid September to have it checked. They found that it was an internal problem and the unit needs to be replaced. However the parts are unavailable at this time from their supplier. Apparently this has been a problem with other owners and the supplier said that Jeep is changing the cluster unit and the new ones won’t be available to order until November 20th. I believe this is a safety issue since the driver is unable to monitor issues using the instrument cluster and it occurred suddenly and obviously has happened to other owners and therefore a recall should be issued and the problem fixed.

I am the origional owner of this vehicle. The vehicle has approximately 67,000 miles on it. I own a Mopar premier extended warranty covering the vehicle for 7 years, or 100,000 miles, whatever comes first. My complaint, which I believe creates a severe safety hazard on a public roadway, is the inner front fender wheel lines have failed on three different occasions requiring replacement. When the liners fail, it leaves exposed the 4 individual brake lines from the master cylinder. Road debris, when the inner fender wheel well is missing, can easily strick the brake lines by road debris thrown from the front tire while driving leading to brake failure and loss of control which can result in injury up to and including death to the driver, occupants, or others. I have contacted corporate Jeep on two different occasions to ask for repairs, and they refused to correct the issue. Their position is the vehicle is beyond the 3 year, 36,000 mile initial warranty, and my extended warrenty will not cover the repair as this wheel well liner is considerd a "trim piece". I am looking to NHTSA for assistance as this failure is something that should be mandated for a safety recall, and the dealer has told me the design of the liner on the JL series is prone to failure. I have owned 4 other Jeep Rubicon's over the past 10-15 years, and this has not been an issue on my other vehicles prior to the redesign of current Jeep Wrangler JL series. I have filed a complaint with Jeep, and they refuse to escallate my issue. The dealer says they cannot address the issue without corporate approval, and Jeep does not have a work flow to escallate the issue internally.

We have had this jeep for a couple of years and it has less than 30k miles on it. Initially, the visor on the passenger side would drop out and just hang. This happened pretty much after we got it but just thought this was a feature of the jeep modularity so we would just push it back in. Now this started happening on driver side and I see this as a safety issue as this can obscure vision at the wrong time. I went to dealer/manufacturer(Jeep) and they do not see this as a defect worthy of replacing outside of their standard 3 year warranty. I had purchased an extended warranty from the dealer from Mastertech and they would not cover it either. This issue appears to be common defect in manufacturing design over several years over several lines of Jeep versions and I am shocked that something like this that could theoretically impair line of site for the driver while driving has not been addressed by Jeep. I am equally shocked that NHTSA has not pursued and or forced a safety recall for this. I have never had a car drop its visor and with this jeep both visors do this for a vehicle that gets very little use(under 30k miles).

I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL that I purchased in October of 2023. Since the day I bought it I noted that it wanders down the road and requires constant steering correction, left/right right/left left/left right/right and so on. It has excessive freeplay at top dead center of the steering. Mfg issued a TSB acknowledging the defective steering boxes that Jeep installed in our wranglers from 2018-2020. However, for those of us that bought used, they will not replace these dangerous steering gear boxes and I have had multiple close calls where even a moments inattention can result in the vehicle ending up in an adjacent lane or onto the shoulder of the road. This is not safe and the steering gear box TSB must be made a recall by NHTSA before someone ends up dead because of this safety issue.

While traveling on the interstate 3 months ago, my 2020 Jeep Wrangler began to vibrate violently after driving over a seam in the road while traveling around 70mph. After slowing down and pulling over, I assessed the exterior of the car and tires for any obvious defects and continued on without identifying any structural problems. Within the next 20 miles the violent reverberations occurred again. We pulled over, concerned that something catastrophic could occur and brought the Jeep to a local mechanic. The mechanic suggested that the wheels should be balanced which we complied with, although we had just recently had a tire rotation and balance prior to this trip, but thought perhaps the violent shaking caused the tires to misalign. That same day, we searched online to see if others had experienced a similar phenomenon and learned about the "death wobble". We called Jeep that day and they would neither confirm nor deny that the Jeep was safe to drive for the remainder of our trip. We continued on at a lower speed and encountered the same problem the following day. We feel this vehicle is unsafe to drive and Jeep has informed us that they do not have enough parts to fix our Jeep because of the volume of affected vehicles. We’ve been on a waitlist for the part for the past 3 months.

Driving on Interstate at 60 miles an hour, the vehicle shook back and forth so violently that I nearly lost control. I though something had broken in the suspension, and it was all all I could do to remain in my lane and get to the nearest off ramp. It subsided when I got off the freeway, where I physical inspected the wheels but couldn't find any visible issues with the suspension. It hasn't happened since (but now I stay off the freeway). I've taken the vehicle to the local Jeep dealer and was told that the issue is a known manufacture defect, which they referred to as an insane shake, and was told that I need to purchase a sway bar to correct the defect. No warning lighting appeared before or after.

When starting my 2020 Jeep Wrangler all warning lights were flashing. I called dealership and they asked if the car could be driven. Eventually all of the lights went off except service engine and we were able to drive it to the dealer. They did a diagnostic check and could not identify the problem. They then reset the service engine light. One day later the same thing happened again shortly after starting and while we were driving. The car braked on its own without any notice while we were driving and everything started flashing again. We could not shift the car or move it. We decided to have it towed to the dealer. After 3 days they found that the ABS Module had to be replaced. Unfortunately these modules are back ordered for several months. I have no idea when my car might be fixed.

An internal defect in the 2014-2020 Jeep Wranglers with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine affects its rocker arms, lifters, and related valvetrain components, including the engine control module (ECM) software that controls the precise timing and function of the lifters. Specifically, the rollers of a Pentastar engine’s rocker arms prematurely wear down, become loose, and then drop, which shifts the rocker arm out of alignment. The rocker arms then come into contact with the cam, scraping both components and creating metal debris. This Pentastar V6 engine defect creates an audible ticking sound that stems from metal particles and debris from the failed rocker arms and other components, contaminating the engine oil and circulating throughout the engine. This defect also causes engine misfires, resulting in bucking and surging, decreased engine performance, hesitation, loss of power, premature wear on internal components, and eventually catastrophic engine failure. The check engine light came on in my 2020 Jeep Wrangler with 69,000 miles. After having it read by a dealer, it showed the P219A code, Bank 1 air/fuel imbalance. The dealership told me that if the Jeep was running fine, I did not have to worry about it, as it was likely an O2 sensor. The code was cleared, and the P219A code returned the following day. It was driven approximately 500 miles before noticing that it began idling roughly and had an engine tick, which the dealership confirmed to be a valvetrain issue. The rocker arms, lifters, valves, and camshaft components of the Pentastar V6 engine in my 2020 Jeep Wrangler with 70,000 miles have failed. Three Jeep dealerships in my area and MANY online forums stated that this is a common occurrence with this engine, which has escalated my concern about this problem.

In September of this year, I would get a random code thrown by the computer, usually telling me that the sway bar disconnected required service, but sometimes it was also the 4wd system. These codes would reset themselves within a few minutes, but I still took it to a dealership for a checkup. The dealership told me that since it currently was not throwing any codes there wasn't really anything they could do. The problem continued to worsen over the next few months. The codes thrown become more varied. I took the vehicle to the dealership two more times and again, no solution was found. Sometimes in the morning when I would go to start the vehicle, it would start, but would not allow the shifter to move, saying that service was required. I took it to the dealerhip again, and no solution could be found. Then the worse started happening. The computer would start throwing several codes at the same time, and then enter a reboot cycle, as I was driving down the freeway. During the reboot cycle, power to the accelerator and power steering would flap on and off, and my ability to steer the vehicle would alternate between powered and unpowered within seconds, leading to a very dangerous situation. The accelerator was the same, disabling my ability to respond to the conditions on the road. I escalated to Jeep's corporate system and left my Jeep at the dealership for two weeks. They were eventually able to identify the CAN BUS as the problem and replace it. I was informed that this was a common problem in Jeep Chrysler vehicles. SInce the replacement of the CAN BUS, I have not experienced any further incidents.

When driving on the interstate and going highway speeds, my Jeep will begin to wobble profusely and I must immediately get off the road as fast as possible to regain control. "Death wobble". All original factory parts and tires on the vehicle and this happens every time that I get on the highway and go over 55 miles per hour and hit any road defect, whether it be a bump or bridge gap. I have had the alignment checked and it does not help the problem at all. No warning lights or any type of notification other than the steering wheel beginning to shake and lose control of the front steering.

my jeeps (2020 4door wrangler unlimited sport JL) VIN does not come back to any recalls on the NHTSA but it has the old aluminum steering gear part# (P68250506AE) and needs to be replaced by the new part# (68507569AA) and a EHPS software eopdate per TSB 08-003-21 REV. A. some dealers are not honoring the TSB if the VIN does not come back to a recall. this issues causes unsafe steering wander and lead pull left to right.

She began traveling again, going slower this time, and it didn't happen again for about 30 minutes. She again went over a small bump (the dividers in the road where it switches to a bridge) and it began to shake bad again. I read online that this is a known problem. This is not safe.

Bubble paint appeared on all the car doors including the truck door as well as the engine door and the windshield frame driver corner. I went to south bank dealer in Ottawa and the took pictures many time and they say approved and never call. And then they say they will fix the spots only which is so weird to fix rusted bubbled paint in a new car. They should change all the doors as the metal is already damaged by rust. These cars are expensive and quality and guarantees should be provided for such vehicles. The factory should recall my car for full repaint or change color if needed on new doors and the whole car. You can go on Google and just type bubble paint on Jeep and you will see these cars are treated in the market. The company treated this car like garbage because of the paint reputation on a famous American car.

After having the steering damper replaced for the death wobble on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler, a week later I was driving my jeep down the road and the vehicle stalled out on me. The auto start/stop light turned on and the car stalled out in the middle of a busy roadway in drive and would not go into park. After getting it into park, several lights turned on my dash, including “service power steering” and “service electronic stability control. My shifter lights all began flashing at once and my windshield wipers began to go while they were turned off. The vehicle would also not go into N and after finally getting it into neutral, we had to hold the emergency neutral pull while steering across 4 lanes of a busy roadway. This is now the second major safety issue (1st is death wobble) i’ve had with my jeep and no recalls have been issued. My car is at 42k miles and a lease, these cars should not be having these issues so early! It has now been at Jeep for a week and they have yet to look at the vehicle and keep giving me the run down of “we haven’t been able to look at your vehicle but it doesn’t look good” Jeeps seem to have major safety issues lately.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEMMay 7, 2023
I just purchased my 4th Wrangler last month from a dealership - a 2020 Certified Pre-Owned Unlimited Sport Willys 2.0L with Automatic transmission. Within the first days, I noticed odor of fuel or exhaust that would be more obvious some times than others, and not constantly strong or apparent. At first I thought maybe it was from being in garage at dealer and something on a mat, but then it continued and was more apparent if I had the windows closed and the heat on. Called the dealer two weeks ago and got an appointment to have it checked this past Friday. First I was told I’m probably not used to it if it’s my first “turbo” (which made no sense), then they came back to tell me it’s probably dirty air filters (which they should’ve checked/changed when they inspected it before selling it because it was at 31,200mi). Then they decided to take it for a ride and, lo and behold, they smelled what I have been smelling. They put it back on the lift to look again. Diagnosis: Fuel leak from the connector to the high pressure fuel line. I see there were some JLs with 2.0L manufactured the same year recalled for this, but they insisted mine wasn’t. Search online confirms it’s not included in the recall. I had no luck getting anywhere when I called Jeep customer service either. The dealer wants to charge me my extended warranty deductible when I haven’t even made my first payment on it yet. (According to vehicle records, 3 years for manufacturer warranty was up Nov 2022, and it has less than 32,500mi.) They insisted they keep it while waiting for the part for repair because it’s unsafe to drive, and put me in a rental (which they told me they didn’t have available when I asked for the appointment). I think this is clearly a safety issue consistent with other recalls for this model and should be repaired at no cost to me. Perhaps the initial recall didn’t include all the vehicles it should have.

I was driving on highway Jan 2023 at about 75-80 mph and hit a small road imperfection in the middle lane. The Jeep started shaking uncontrollably. I had to fight to keep the car steady and thought I had blown out a tire. I was able to pull to breakdown lane and slow down and it gradually stopped shaking. The violent shaking and noise scared both me and my daughter who was a passenger. Weeks later I got a notice of a class-action lawsuit regarding this issue and the steering damper. I brought it in for service and they fixed it. However, it was NOT covered by Chrysler so I am stuck with the deductible. Disappointed in this as it was an obvious, known problem that I would consider a safety issue. A quick search of it reveals many complaints, a lawsuit, etc and yet no recourse for me.

(I am a resident of Altavista, Va. 24517 This incident occurred in South Boston, Va.,approx. 40-45 miles from where I live.) A South Boston Policeman stopped and a fire dept. employee offered their assistance (and were very helpful). They were almost hit by cars several times from each side. I knew I had to get the vehicle out of the middle of the street, so I asked the policeman to call a local garage to send a rollback (tow truck) to get it out of the street and the dangerous traffic. The local garage was equipped with a machine that showed what was wrong, The final settings had to be made by a Jeep dealer. The garage took it to a Jeep dealer in Henderson, NC.

The Jeep has a primary and secondary battery (the stop and go system). I understand that if the primary battery goes dead without warning, the secondary battery tries to pick up the entire electrical load and the smaller battery cannot handle it and it destroys the fuse block. Both batteries and the fuse block had to be replaced. I was without a car for approx. two weeks, and a great deal of expense ($1,391.64). I am now wondering if and when it will happen again.

On January 2, 2023, at about 4:00 PM I encountered the ‘Death Wobble’ while driving in my 2020 Jeep Wrangler (2-door) VIN: [XXX], purchased from Dave Smith Motors, Kellogg, ID on about 7/17/2020. I was driving North on I-15 about 10 miles South of Nephi, UT. I was traveling in the left lane at Freeway speeds (75-80 mph) when the front of the vehicle commenced to shake violently. My first thought was that both front tires had blown, although I did not observe any obstacles on the wet driving lanes. My second thought was, how do I get out of these mess without causing a major accident on that very busy stretch of Freeway holiday traffic? I, of course, braked and pulled to the left in an attempt to avoid getting rear-ended and immediately encountered snow and ice on the left shoulder and then on the ground adjacent to the Freeway. I managed to get off the Freeway, but continued to fishtail, almost losing control on the snow and ice. Eventually the vehicle ended up in a sideways slide perpendicular to the Freeway with the front of the vehicle aimed at the Freeway and heavy TRAFFIC! At that point I had no control over the vehicle as it continued to slide sideways headed for a huge drainage ditch. Luckily, we stopped before the precipice. I scrambled out of the vehicle as soon as it stopped sliding to see what had happened to the front end of the Jeep. There was no obvious damage, the tires were not flat, and I couldn’t figure out what had happened. I have now received a NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS SETTLEMNT, that upon further research informs me that 2020 Jeep Wranglers have a manufacture defect that causes the ‘Death Wobble’ in precisely the conditions that existed with me. “…2020 Jeep Wranglers …have a front suspension steering damper defect that causes the steering wheel and front suspension of the vehicle to shake after contact with a bumpy road surface at highway speed.” I was not aware of the Manufacturer's defect.

It cost $350 for the tow to the nearest dealership and the Uber home. At the dealership I could see a huge crack in the transmission case. From the repair order included, there was damage to the clutch, transmission, starter, flywheel, electrical harness and main seal. I was told the faulty parts were returned to Jeep for inspection. There was a recall on the clutch pressure plate (21V-028) and the "repair" had been completed on my vehicle. The "repair" did not work and people are going to get hurt. Although no one was injured this time, this could have ended very badly if the hot metal shrapnel cut a tire or hit a car behind me. From my little bit of research, this failure is becoming quite common and many people are driving a ticking time bomb.

Shifter cables on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler have fallen off FIVE times leaving me unable to shift the car or drive it and it is necessary to pull over or coast over to the side of the road wherever I may be. The inability to shift is accompanied by a terrible burning smell. The dealership has attempted to repair it by putting the cables back on and by replacing the cables with new cables to no avail, the problem continues to occur. My safety and the safety of others is put at risk because the car is not able to function properly and maintain speed. Without warning this can occur and cause an accident on the road or highway. I have filed a Lemon Law complaint with the Jeep manufacturer. The problem has occurred FIVE times 3/29/22, 9/20/22, 10/14/22, 10/17/22, 11/22/22. All five times were without warning.

The Jeep steering system allows it to wander down the road with occasional slight lock. On the highway it will move to the left and right and you need to continuously correct its path. While passing a large truck on the highway the wind can cause you to move several feet to the left. Sometimes there is a feel like the steering locks. When parked in the driveway the steering wheel moves 2.5” to 3” before the front wheel move It has not been inspected but will be today by a dealer. I was told by the sales dealership (a different one) that this was normal. There are no warning lights Yes the jeep can be inspected anytime

Both of the sun visors became loose and the driver side in particular will dangle down in front of windshield, blocking vision. This is a common defect on Wrangler JL/Gladiators that is the result of a design flaw in the retaining mechanism. This can happen without notice and while driving at any speed. For me it happened on interstate that the visor fell down, blocking my view.

I had been driving my car off and on throughout the day without incidence. I stopped by the the grocery store and went in for a very short amount of time. I came out and cranked my car, it cranked as normal. I drove out of the parking lot into traffic and the car just started going haywire then shut off. Lights were flashing inside the car, the dash lights kept coming on and off, the wipers were moving even though they had not been on previously. I turned on my hazard lights and they would only illuminate in the front of the vehicle, but also intermittently. I had no means of warning other drivers, this occurred after dark. The car would not go into neutral so it could be pushed from the roadway. There were no warning lights to let me know anything was wrong. I had no indicators prior to this occurrence and was left completely stranded in traffic in the dark. I was told by the auto shop it was towed to that the issue was the auxiliary battery. This battery was causing a drain on the main battery and therefore shut down.

My driver's side sun visor does not stay in place while driving and pops out of its holder, even if the visor is folded up out of the way and not being used. When the visor pops out of place, it hangs by the wires for visor mirror lighting. I purchased my vehicle new Feb 2020, and my vehicle currently only has about 10,500 miles. The visor began popping out of place around April/May 2022. The visor popping out of place is dangerous because 1) it happens WHILE driving, especially over rough roads, and this obscures my view of the road (!!!), 2) it has happened multiple times, unpredictably, and 3) I cannot use the visor to block out bright light while driving because it falls out if I fold down the visor, which makes it difficult to drive comfortably around sunrise or sunset. On August 15th, 2022 went to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle (Autonation Jeep Bellevue in Washington state) to get this problem looked at as my vehicle is still under warranty. The service center confirmed the problem, as mentioned in the invoice, and they mentioned they would have to replace the entire sun visor assembly. However, I have not heard back from the dealer concerning replacement as likely the parts are on back order. The pictures I provided are for the visor popped out showing the visor popped out of place when it was supposed to be in the folded up, out of the way position, and the folded down position as well as the hinge that seems to pop out of place. According to different forums of owners of Wrangler JL like mine, visors popping out of place are frequent problems, and replacing the visor with the same visor assembly only temporarily fixes the problem because replacement does nothing about the bad design that leads to the visor falling out of place.

Clutch pedal intermittently sticks when pressed to the floor. If you press and hold the clutch to the floor and release it slowly you can feel it bind up. 3 things normally happen. #1. It will stick to the floor #2. It will stick for a short time and as you raise your foot, the pedal will hit the bottom of your foot, jerking the jeep forward. #3 it does release as normal. I have taken the Jeep to the dealer last year 8/21 and they couldn't replicate the issue. However they reported a leaky hose that they replaced. I couldn't identify any hoses that were newly replaced. It has gotten progressively worse and now I can replicate the issue after a few attempts. When at a complete stop pointing uphill there is a risk of rolling back into another vehicle if the clutch doesnt engage. Transitioning from a complete stop to moving forward is not very smooth if the clutch pops up on its own. Sometimes it ends up in the engine stopping and having to restart the vehicle. The Jeep is available for inspection. I have tried to schedule another repair but waiting for a response from the Dealer. The Jeep has other recalls for the clutch and I believe all recalls have been applied to the vehicle. I have an email that I sent to the dealer with photos that I sent to the dealer when I first noticed this issue. I can also try to find the invoice from last year.

My vehicle is still at the Jeep dealership service center being repaired, but so far, the reported issue includes a "shorted" fuse block. As I was driving the vehicle, I was approaching a red light when my vehicle abruptly halted. The cars behind & near me were forced to go around to avoid hitting my vehicle. The dashboard initially flashed the message "safety mode" or something similar, the check engine light came on, the brakes locked, & the power steering & windows ceased to function. While I waited for the police, I tried to restart the vehicle many times, in hopes of getting it into neutral and/or getting it off of the roadway - nothing worked. The vehicle then began to flash the message "Service Electronic Stability Control." The DOTD serviceman & the tow truck driver were unable to get the vehicle into neutral manually, so it had to be dragged using chains. Once the vehicle was towed to the Jeep dealership (Covington, LA), I was first told that the battery had a voltage of 0. After replacing the battery, I was told that the fuse block was shorted. The representative explained the fuse block's purpose, & further explained that because mine shorted, the battery was unable to communicate with the rest of the vehicle, like the alternator & the PCM, on how much voltage was coming out of the system - i.e., since my computer shorted, the vehicle did not know that the battery was dead. Thus, when the battery killed abruptly while driving, the vehicle basically panicked & went into “safe mode” (limp mode) & locked up the entire machine. I asked repeatedly how this happens and how it can be avoided in the future, and while dancing around many indirect answers, the rep stated that my fuse block in this instance basically caused a complete electronic failure of the vehicle. I am an attorney & I have spoken with experts who suggest that this issue should be investigated. It is a serious hazard & a defect for one glitched part to kill the entire machine while driving.

The rear camera/head unit freezes with an image of what was behind the vehicle when placed in reverse. This recently caused an issue where a group of people walked behind my Jeep while pulling out. Both myself and the group were fortunate enough that I caught one of the people walking behind my Jeep and stopped before backing into them with the backup camera still showing a clear path. This issue has been documented with Jeep and was serviced November of 2021. They replaced the unit but after a few months the new head unit started crashing and I am still having this intermittent issue where the screen shows a static image for the rear view upon placing the Jeep in reverse. No warning lamps or messages are shown. Eventually the watchdog timer times out after about a minute and the system reboots. The head unit will also crash randomly at other times while driving but this is the only instance it puts safety at risk. I would estimate it occurs 2-5% of the time I back out.

Driving on I-35 North (Texas) in the morning requires driving directly into the sun rise. I utilize my sun visor daily in order to maintain a safe view of the road, where people are frequently driving over 80 miles per hour. One morning on the way to work, I put my sun visor down so that I could see past the sun glare on my windshield. The sun visor then fell from its open position as I went over a bump in the road. At this point, the visor was hanging several inches lower than it normally does, almost completely obscuring my view of the road. The visor was not able to fall completely, because it was attached to the top of the car via electrical wiring. If it had fallen completely, I would have been in a much safer position. I needed to pull over ASAP but was unable to do so due to the construction on the highway and therefore had to hold the visor up with one hand while driving with the other until I could find a safe place to stop. The visor is still in the same state as it was when it initially failed. I have had to tape it up and am therefore unable to use it at all. There is no replacement part for the failed piece of plastic within the visor's housing. It requires replacement of the entire assembly, and that will contain the same part that failed in the first place. This seems to be a fairly common problem and has been discussed at length online, including at this website: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/sun-visor-fix.44865/

a safety issue that has been termed the Jeep "death wobble" has occurred numerous times over the past 6 months . When a bump or pothole is confronted , there is a violent shaking of the steering wheel and front end and it takes anywhere from 5-15 seconds to resume control of the vehicle . This usually occurs at a speed of 55-65 miles per hour . control of the vehicle is virtually impossible when this occurs and only resumes stability when speed of the vehicle declines. Three repairs have been attempted to correct the issue , with genuine Chrysler parts used , but to no avail. This safety issue and dangerous condition has been documented with Chrysler since 2010 and there are 2 class action lawsuits still in place vs. Chrysler, the most recent being one regarding 2018-2020 jeep wranglers , filed in California.

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/

As I moved the passenger seat forward to allow access to the backseat I heard plastic break. The seat will not go back in it's up right and locked position. The seat could move freely forward when breaking and backwards when accelerating. The vehicle is under warranty and I took it to the dealership and they told me they have to order the seat bracket in order to fix it and that would take 4 to 5 weeks at the earliest. This vehicle is unsafe to drive in this condition and others should be warned of these defective plastic parts used in the seat. I cannot utilize my vehicle to transport anybody because of it being a safety risk to any passenger as well as myself do to the seat not being able to perform accurate side airbag protection. This same problem has been reported by other people on Jeep Forms. I just spoke to Jeep Parts manager to find out when my part will be available and she said there is a backlog of over 85 customers with Jeeps with the identical problem and the parts are not currently available so this is NOT an isolated issue and IS NOT BEING REMEDIED QUICKLY TO PRECLUDE A SERIOUS INJURY.

All of these things cause immense distraction and pose great danger to a driver as well as other drivers on the road. This vehicle had a little over 4,000 miles on it when I purchased it. Purchased dec 2020 and Uconnect replaced by dealer early 2021. The same issues are occurring with the replacement system. Took jeep in today, on 10/4/2021 and they say they have ordered another Uconnect system however, I doubt it will fix these issues. Very disappointed in this vehicle for it to be such an expensive purchase.

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.

The Jeep wanders across the road when on the highway. It is extremely susceptible to road dips, lines, and other highway like surface deviations. The Jeep will be pulled rather violently from side to side when large trucks pass by. The issue is the steering will not easily correct the direction of the Jeep as it has a large dead spot (2 inches) in the middle of the steering circle. This is my 3rd Jeep and 4th solid axle automobile and I have never had this experience with any of the other autos I have owned.

Same problem as other Jeeps. Seems like any time driving over 50mph and hit some type of bump/hole, big or small, my steering wheel shakes violently. All 3 times this has happen, I had to exit to the emergency lane/reduce speed below 15mph in order to get the Jeep back under control. I tool Jeep in and all they did was align the front end. Since then, the problem is still occurring. The Jeep is back at the dealership now. It has less than 11500 miles since I bought it in 09/2020. I see there was a recall of this type of vehicle, but mind was not included. The problem seems to include my Jeep which was not in the recall. I am hoping something can be done to correct the problem since it is still on going and the dealership can not fix it.
STEERINGSeptember 3, 2021

I bought this 2020 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon as a factory order, assembled in August 2019, delivered in September 2019. Since I got it, it has had incredibly loose steering. I was assured by the dealer this was standard. I previously owned a 2016 Jeep Wrangler (previous generation) that did not have the same looseness in steering. At my dealer's recommendation, I purchased and had them install a new steering stabilizer ($250) and upgraded control arms ($400). This helped the handling of the vehicle but did not improve the steering. I recently had the TSB 08-074-20 performed which replaced the steering gear box. It did not improve the steering at all and it continues to be loose. I can turn the steering wheel from 10 oclock to 2oclock and the wheels do not turn at all. This makes it incredibly difficult to drive, especially at high speed. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle above 55mph, especially around curves on the highway.

This started in May. The rear locker light came on by it self while driving, and at one point, service locker light was also lit up. I wanted to make the appointment but the light went out so I continued driving. In June, It came back on so I made an appointment with the dealer who was not able to get me in. The dealer kept the car for almost 2 weeks, changed a part and sent me home. As I was driving home from the dealership, the light came back on. If the axle is locked at a high speed(which is for off road, low speed only) this could potentially damage the rear axle differential and have catastrophic failure, which could lead to a crash. This issue is occuring at random.

A bunch of lights started to pop on my dashboard and said things like Service Airbag System, Service Shifter, Traction Control On while I was driving on a busy road. My steering wheel was also locked so I was unable to turn left or right. Thankfully, I was on the right side of the road so I was somehow able to get on the side of the road and pull over. When I put my car on park, the car would start jerking forward. I turned my car on and off and it was still doing the same thing. I turned it off again and after about 15 minutes, my steering wheel was unlocked. I took my car to the dealership and had them take a look at it. A few days later, they "fixed" it and told me it was a battery issue and that it was resolved. Two days later, the exact same thing happened AGAIN while I was on a 1 way street. It was INCREDIBLY dangerous, because it happened right before I had to go up an S curve. It was in the middle of a storm and there were a lot of cars going the other way and a lot of cars behind me. I turned on my hazard lights and had to go up the curve very slowly and there was somewhere I could turn right. Since my steering wheel was locked, I wasn't able to turn onto the street and ended up in a patch of grass. My car is currently at the dealership again. They told me it was a wiring issue and they are going to keep it and test drive it a few times.

We began to notice a strong smell of gas in and around the vehicle, which was not normal or present for the first year of ownership. Knowing that this was not 'normal' we scheduled a service appointment with the dealership. Upon inspection, it was found that the gas line was leaking due to rubbing on a component. The resolution was the dealer replacing the line, rerouting, and verifying the repair. It should be noted that: 1. The vehicle is stock & has not been modified 2. Despite the strong smell of gas, there were not any warning messages/check engine lights, performance issues, etc. that would otherwise signal an issue

The AutoPark sensors, ( Park Collision Warning), in my 2020 Jeep Wrangler randomly triggers and engages AutoPark. The false triggers randomly occur when the vehicle is in reverse. The condition occurs at very low speed after the brake is touched. The false triggers occur during daylight or night conditions. Once AutoPark is engaged the vehicle will not move. The engine must be turned off and sometimes the AutoPark switch must be turned off before the vehicle will move. There is usually no object within 15 feet of my vehicle to trigger the autopark sensors. I videotaped some of the occurrences using my cell phone. The Jeep service department is not able to diagnose the problem. In addition, the false triggers are not creating system log entries to prove the event occurred. Jeep service department will not use my videos as evidence the event happened. Jeep Service will not escalate the problem unless their service department can recreate the condition. My video is 200MB, exceeds your upload limits.

On 4 occassions two while being towed behind our RV the Jeep started jumping violently. Looked on the camera and felt like we were driving over big boulders but there were none. Thankfully we were going slow enough to stop without having an accident. On all four times it did not come back when we were going again. We are terrified of driving it and more so of towing it. Dealer found nothing wrong... We don't understand.

I PURCHASED MY 2020 WRANGLER JL ON 08/24/2020. THIS JEEP'S STEERING WHEEL RESPONSIVENESS IS "LOOSE" AT SPEEDS OF 55+ MPH, I DO NOT FEEL IN CONTROL OF THE JEEP AT TIMES AND IT IS UNNERVING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE ON A HIGHWAY BEND OR A NARROW ROAD PASSAGE, IT IS CHALLENGING TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN A CONSTANT TRAJECTORY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID A WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHICH HELPED A LITTLE, BUT STILL PROBLEMATIC. THE STEERING WHEEL WANDERS AND IT IS AN EXHAUSTIVE EFFORT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT.
STEERINGSeptember 25, 2020
THE VEHICLE DEVELOPS "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN HITTING BUMPS WITHIN THE ROAD, TO THE POINT THAT ALL CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE IS LOST UNTIL SPEEDS ARE REDUCED TO BELOW 20 MPH. THE STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY VIOLENT, PREVENTING ANY CORRECTIVE MEASURES FROM BEING POSSIBLE. EARLY TODAY, THE EVENT ALMOST CAUSED A THREE CAR ACCIDENT IN A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. HIT A BUMP AROUND 40 MPH AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
STEERINGSeptember 23, 2020
I HAVE EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE OVER 5 TIMES AND HAVE 3K MILES ON VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED DRAG LINK AND TIE RODS JUST TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAD IT HAPPEN ON I-70 THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE TO TAKE CONTROL OF JEEP. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING AND I WANT TO GET THE WORD OUT. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
STEERINGSeptember 20, 2020
MY JEEP HAS 10000 MI NOW AND ITS BEEN A YEAR I HAVE HAD IT AND THE SWAY ONTJW HIGHWAY HAS GOT WORSE WITH TIME. IT NOW IS WORK TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN MY LANE ON THE HIGHWAY.
STEERINGSeptember 12, 2020
I PURCHASED A 2020 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED IT WANDERED RIGHT AND LEFT ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER ARRIVING HOME I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES ALL SET AT 41PSI SPEC IS 36PSI. AFTER ADJUSTING THE AIR PRESSURE WE DROVE IT AGAIN IT WAS A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL WANDERED BACK AND FORTH ALL THE TIME. I NOTED YOU COULD MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH ABOUT AN INCH OR MORE WITHOUT THE FRONT WHEELS EVEN MOVING? THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. CALLED THE DEALER FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND ASKED IF THIS JEEP HAD THE UPDATED GEAR BOX? IT DID NOT SO THEY DID THE GEARBOX. MADE NO DIFFERENCE STILL WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD. YOU REALLY HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION WHILE DRIVING THIS JEEP. NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A 2020 VEHICLE.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT TURN BACK ON AFTER ENGINE SHUTS OFF DURING NORMAL ELECTRONIC START SYSTEM OPERATION. ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN NEARLY AND AT A STOP. WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN BACK ON. THERE HAVE BEEN THREE OCCURRENCES AS FOLLOWS: OCCURRENCE 1 6/27/2020: EXITING THE THRUWAY AND NEARLY AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A LIGHT AT EXIT WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF DUE TO ESS SYSTEM. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE TO BEGIN DRIVING, THE ENGINE FAILED TO TURN ON. OPERATOR WAS PUSHING GAS PEDAL TO GO, THE ENGINE REMAINED OFF. REMEDY WAS TO TAP THE BRAKE AGAIN IN WHICH THE ENGINE TURNED ON AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE. OCCURRENCE 2 7/13/2020: CAME TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC ON A STREET. ENGINE SHUT OFF DUE TO ESS SYSTEM AS DESIGNED. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE DID NOT RESTART. OPERATOR PUSHING GAS PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES AND ENGINE STILL DID NOT TURN BACK ON, SITTING 'DEAD' IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. ATTEMPTING TO PUSH THE PUSH START BUTTON DID NOT TURN VEHICLE BACK ON. REMEDY AGAIN WAS TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN AND ENGINE TURNED ON. OCCURRENCE 3 AUGUST 2,2020: OPERATOR IN TRAFFIC, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. RELEASED BRAKE PEDAL TO BEGIN MOVING. ENGINE DID NOT TURN BACK ON, AND SHIFTER 'D' SYMBOL BEGAN FLASHING. TAPPING BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT RESTART VEHICLE. DASHBOARD STATED 'SHIFT TO P TO PARK', TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK POSITION. PLACED VEHICLE INTO PARK, HAD TO RESTART ENGINE BY PUSHING START BUTTON. ENGINE TURNED ON AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE. I HAVE A VIDEO SHOWING THE THIRD OCCURRENCE, HOWEVER THIS SUBMISSION ONLY ALLOWS PICTURE FORMAT SO TOOK SNAPSHOTS OF CODE. SENT VIDEO TO FCA, HAVE MULTIPLE RECORDED VISITS TO DEALER TO FIND ISSUE, NO ROOT CAUSE DETERMINED AT THIS POINT. REQUESTED REFUND/REPLACEMENT.

BACK UP WARNING SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO REVERSE, A CONSTANT LOUD TONE STARTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT MASKS ALERTS WHEN THERE IS SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ACTUALLY BEHIND THE CAR. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL DEALER INSTALLED AFTER MARKET WHEELS AND TIRES.

FAILURE DATE: 03/19/2020 PURCHASED MARCH 19, 2020. FIRST JEEP. NOTICED STEERING FELT OVER REACTIVE IMMEDIATELY. BROUGHT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND DEALER SAID THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR A JEEP. THE VEHICLE WANDERS AT LOW SPEED AND IS WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. CONSTANT CORRECTING IS REQUIRED TO STAY IN ONE LANE, WHICH ENDS IN OVERCOMPENSATING AND A ZIGZAG EFFECT. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT ANY SPEED. FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED THE SAME CONDITIONS AS 'LOOSE' STEERING. VERY CONCERNED THAT JEEP DOES NOT SEEM TO OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND PROACTIVELY WORK TOWARD A SOLUTION.
STEERINGSeptember 10, 2020
NEAR HIGH SPEED CRASH SITUATION, TWICE, FOR FAULT THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONFIRMED BUT DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR! FIRST INCIDENT... HAD TO GENTLY SWERVE ON FREEWAY WHEN A CAR PULLED INTO MY LANE WITHOUT WARNING. ALMOST LOST CONTROL, BACK END FISHTAILED HORRIBLY, TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL BACK THE OTHER WAY TO ATTEMPT TO TAKE CONTROL AND MASSIVE OVERSTEER CAUSED THE CAR TO JUMP 2 LANES THE OTHER WAY. LUCKY NOT TO CRASH. DEALERSHIP TOOK VEHICLE IN A SAID THERE WAS A KNOWN FAULT THAT NEEDED ADDRESSING! THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED, SO IF IT IS A KNOWN FAULT THAT IS FRIGHTENING. THE HAD TO GET A PART IN WHICH TOOK APPROX 10 DAYS. THEY ALSO MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE POWER STEERING. CAR RETURNED TO US. ON FIRST DRIVE ON SAME STRETCH OF FREEWAY (70 AND 75 MPH), WE WERE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION/INCIDENT. AGAIN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BIT OF "NOTHING" SITUATION, WITH A LITTLE SWERVE AND THAT'S ALL. INSTEAD WE ONCE AGAIN LOST CONTROL AND SPENT APPROX 15 SECONDS GETTING UNDER CONTROL AND SECURELY IN ONE LANE. IT WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THE HAD FOR 12 DAYS WITH ZERO UPDATE/CONTACT. THEN THEY TOLD ME A SPECIALIST HAD BEEN PULLED IN AND HE HAD DRIVEN IT AND CONFIRMED A SAFETY ISSUE AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE CAR WAS ORDERED THROUGH THIS DEALERSHIP WITH LARGE WHEELS AS PART OF THE PACKAGE/ORDER. THE SPECIALIST SWITCHED TO FACTORY WHEELS AND TESTED AGAIN - HE SAID IT WAS NOW OK, SO WHEELS ARE THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED ONE SOLUTION TO MAKE THE CAR SAFE AFTER THIS - PUT THE FACTORY WHEELS BACK ON. NO! IF WE COULD ONLY HAVE HAS FACTORY WHEELS WE WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED A WRANGLER IN THE FIRST PLACE! IT'S LIKE BUYING A WHITE CAR AND THEN BEING TOLD IT HAS TO BE REPAINTED RED, WHEN ONE HATES RED CARS - NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR MORE DAYS THAN IN OUR POSSESSION, AND WE CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE IT ON THE FREEWAY IN THE ORDERED FORM. SHOCKING
STEERINGSeptember 8, 2020
SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JUNE I HAVE NOTICED IT PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING IS STIFF ON THE LEFT BUT LOOSE ON THE RIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP CENTERED IN THE ROAD WITHOUT USING TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID A WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHICH HELPED A LITTLE, BUT STILL PROBLEMATIC. THIS IS THE 4TH WRANGLER I'VE OWNED AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY OTHER JEEPS. I READ ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE LEFT CONTROL ARM BRACKET. WE LOOKED UNDER THE JEEP AXEL AND THE LEFT SIDE IS FINE THE RIGHT SIDE CONTROL ARM BRACKET APPEARS CRACKED. I TOOK A PHOTO.*DT *JS

ON 4 OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE DEMONSTRATED SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. ALL EVENTS OCCURRED WHILE COMING TO A GRADUAL STOP APPLYING THE BRAKES NORMALLY. EACH TIME, THE VEHICLE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED HIGH AND SHOT FORWARD [INTO AN INTERSECTION ONCE THROUGH A STOP SIGN!]. ON ALL OCCASIONS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS NOT DEPRESSED AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT INTERFERING. ONLY BY SPLIT-SECOND RESPONSE ON MY PART WAS I ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT HAPPENED OVER SEVERAL DAYS--NOT JUST A SINGLE PERIOD OR SESSION.
STEERINGAugust 15, 2020
THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BE TURNED FROM TOP DEAD CENTER AN INCH IN EITHER DIRECTION WITH THE VEHICLE TURNING. THIS IS MORE NOTICEABLE ON HIGHWAY WHERE IT WORRIES ME THE MOST. I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VEHICLE BEING PUSHED BY THE WIND AND WHEN THE STEERING IS NOT RESPONDING. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS TOP HEAVY, I DO NOT WANT TO OVER TURN TO MAKE UP FOR THE LACK OF STEERING RESPONSE. AN EXAMPLE OF THE ISSUE IS AS FOLLOWS: ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES, THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT COMES CLOSER. TO COUNTER ACT THIS I TURN SLIGHTLY LEFT AND IT TAKES ABOUT 2 INCHES OF WHEEL TURN BEFORE THE STEERING REACTS AND GOES LEFT. THIS DELAY I FEEL IS VERY UNSAFE AND MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. ALSO THIS STEERING ISSUES CAUSE ME TO CONSTANTLY CORRECTING STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY GOING FROM LANE MARKER TO LANE MARKER EVEN WITH STEERING CORRECTION. IT'S LIKE A DRUNK DRIVER IS DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I HAVE VIDEO SHOWING HOW MUCH THE STEERING CAN MOVE WITHOUT RESPONSE BUT NOTICED I CANNOT UPLOAD VIDEO.

2020 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA COMPLAINT. VIN: [XXX] DATE OF PURCHASE 07/20/2020 I LEASED A BRAND NEW 2020 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA WITH A 2.0 4CYL TURBO. I AM LOVING EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAR EXCEPT THE STEERING. THE STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE IS TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS!!! THE STEERING IS LOOSE AND ON IT'S OWN, IT WILL DRIFT OR FLOAT TO EITHER SIDE, RIGHT OR LEFT, ON A SMOOTH DRY SURFACE AT VIRTUALLY ANY SPEED. IT IS EVEN WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IT CANNOT STEER STRAIGHT LIKE ANY NORMAL VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT JEEP SHOULD BE INSTITUTING A RECALL AND REPAIR ORDER FOR! I'VE INSTRUCTED MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO CONTACT OUR ATTORNEY IF ANYONE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT RECEIVES INJURY, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. MY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL INFORM OUR ATTORNEY THAT THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM EXISTED SINCE THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER (JEEP) KNEW ABOUT THIS FROM NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS, AND YET SO FAR HAS FAILED TO INSTITUTE A RECALL FOR REPAIR. CHECK ONLINE AND YOU WILL FIND MANY OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR NEW WRANGLER'S STEERING PROBLEM. ONLINE AFTERMARKET COMPANIES ARE ATTEMPTING TO SELL PRODUCTS THAT "MAY" RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHY SHOULD ANY NEW OWNER HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON AN AFTER MARKET PRODUCT FOR A BRAND NEW CAR? IF JEEP DOES NOT INITIATE A RECALL, I WILL WRITE COMPLAINTS AND NEGATIVE REVIEWS EVERYWHERE I CAN AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I PURCHASE ONE. I WILL RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE NOT TO PURCHASE A JEEP PRODUCT BECAUSE OF THIS GROSS NEGLIGENCE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE STEERING IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO WANDER ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY OVER CORRECT (LEFT & RIGHT) THE STEERING TO KEEP THE CAR ON A STRAIT LINE WHICH MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE AND HARD TO DRIVE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE.PLEASE RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE.

MY NEW 2020 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT HAS EXCESSIVE STEERING-WHEEL PLAY RESULTING IN AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE AT SPEED ON THE INTERSTATES. UNLIKE MY PREVIOUS 2018 WRANGLER SAHARA, OR CURRENT 2020 GRAND CHEROKEES, WHICH PERMIT TOTAL STEERING CONTROL, THE SPORT MOVES FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE, I.E., "FLOATS," IN THE DRAFTS OF TRACTOR TRAILERS AS THEY PASS, OR IN CROSSWINDS, OR ON BUMPY ROADS. CAN'T MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE IN THE LANE, ONLY ABLE TO RECOVER AS THE VEHICLE DRIFTS FROM CENTER. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPT SAYS IT'S NOT FIXABLE; CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER CONCERN DEPT SAYS IT'S A "FACTORY BUILT WHEEL ASSEMBLY AND CAN'T BE ADJUSTED." AS I'VE DRIVEN ALL MODELS OF JEEPS FOR SOME 30 YEARS, I'M QUITE DISAPPOINTED INASMUCH AS IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT BEING ABLE TO FULLY CONTROL THE FRONT END AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE IS WANDERING ALL OVER THE LANE, STEERING FEELS "LOOSE" AND IT IS HARD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT IN LANE. HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS BUT IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (50-70MPH). I HAD "NEAR MISS" WHEN DRIVING WEST ON I-10 BEFORE BAYTOWN WHERE ROAD WORKS ARE HAPPENING AND THE ROAD HAS BEEN BARRICADED ON BOTH SIDES MAKING THE ROAD TOO NARROW. SO WHEN DRIVING SIDE BY SIDE WITH AN 18WHEELER IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BE PRECISE AND KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. I HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO LET THE 18WHEELER GO AND TRY TO AVOID ANOTHER ONE PASSING ME AND BEING IN THE SAME SITUATION. IF YOU HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT, THE VEHICLE WON'T DO THE SAME, SO YOU HAVE TO GIVE CONSTANT INPUT TO AVOID GOING TO OTHER LANES. I'VE FOUND MASSIVE COMPLAINTS ON JEEP FORUMS AND YOUTUBE. SOME VIDEOS ARE ACTUALLY LEADING TO A SOLUTION BY REPLACING THE STEERING BOX, FLASHING THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE OR REPLACING THE TRAC BAR AS WELL, ETC. I'M ABOUT TO VISIT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SECOND TIME AFTER THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED ON FIRST VISIT. ONLY ALIGNMENT WAS DONE AND THEY SAID THE STEERING ISSUE WAS "NORMAL" AND THAT ALL NEW WRANGLERS WERE LIKE THAT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

BESIDES THE VEHICLE WANDERING ALL OVER THE ROAD, THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE.
STEERINGJanuary 15, 2020
FROM THE DAY THE JEEP WAS DRIVEN OFF OF THE LOT WITH 20 MILES ON IT IT HAS EXPERIENCED WHAT CAN BE DESCRIBED AS LOOSE OR UNRESPONSIVE STEERING. THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE PLAY IN STEERING WHEN STATIONARY, HOWEVER WHEN IN MOTION THERE EXISTS ABOUT 1 OR 2 DEGREES OF DEAD OR UNRESPONSIVE RANGE IN THE STEERING. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED LEFT OR RIGHT FOR 1 TO 2 DEG. THERE IS NO RESPONSE OR A DELAYED RESPONSE FROM THE WHEELS. AS MOST WRANGLERS' STEERING WILL WANDER TO SOME DEGREE, THIS CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS BODY ROLL, OVER-CORRECTION IN STEERING AND LOSS OF TRACTION IN SNOWY CONDITIONS, PARTICULARLY WHEN 4WD IS ENGAGED. THIS HAS CAUSED LOSS OF TRACTION, NEAR ACCIDENTS AND VEERING OFF OF ROADS IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS WRANGLER HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MECHANICS AGREE THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS, HOWEVER CLAIM TO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

THEY GAVE ME THE STANDARD TROPE THAT IT COULD BE THE TIRES, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. AS I HAVE SEEN ON A LOT OF JEEP FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I WANT JEEP TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED BY NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP THEIR VEHICLE ON THE ROAD OR EVEN IN THEIR LANE. WELL, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE ME OR ANYONE ELSE I COME IN CONTACT WITH. PLEASE HELP ME.

THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE. YOU CAN TURN THE WHEEL SEVERAL INCHES BEFORE THE CAR REACTS. DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR BETWEEN THE LINES. THE TIRE INFLATION HAS BEEN CHECKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN THE CONTACT USED THE SEAT LEVER TO PLACE ITEMS IN THE BACK SEAT, THE LEVER FRACTURED AND HE WAS UNABLE TO ADJUST THE SEAT. WHEN THE CONTACT LATER ATTEMPTED TO USE THE LEVER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH SWOPE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1012 N DIXIE HWY, ELIZABETHTOWN, KY 42701) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

BONDED INTRUSION BAR SEPARATED FROM DOOR SKIN. SEPARATION CAUSES RUBBING/CHAFFING/NOISE WHEN DOOR IS OPERATED AND WAS WHAT ALERTED ME TO THE PRESENCE OF THE ISSUE. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE DOOR MUST BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE HAPPENED IN MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON AND THEY REPLACED THE FRONT TWO DOORS ON MY JEEP. FCA HAS CLEARLY NOT CORRECTED THIS DESIGN ISSUE, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IT LEADS TO A WEAKENED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY/SAFETY FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT BECAUSE THE FIX INCLUDES REPAINTING PART OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, MANY PEOPLE WILL NOT WANT TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLES REPAIRED. ALSO, DEPENDING ON PERSONALITY, IT MAY BE VERY EASY TO OVERLOOK THE NOISE THAT CALLED MY ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE. BONDING LIKE THIS IS USED EXTENSIVELY IN MODERN VEHICLES. IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT IN THIS LOCATION, DO THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT IN OTHER LOCATIONS OR VEHICLES THAT AREN'T BEING ADDRESSED. CLEARLY THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS A CONTINUED ISSUE ACROSS MODEL YEARS, NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
STEERINGDecember 16, 2019
THE STEERING ON THIS JEEP IS DANGEROUS. IT WILL NOT RETURN TO CENTER, WHICH AT LOW SPEEDS MEANS IT WILL TURN IN A CIRCLE AND YOU HAVE TO STEER BACK WHEN MAKING A TURN. AT HIGH SPEEDS IT MEANS CONSTANTLY OVERCORRECTING AND CORRECTING TO KEEP VEHICLE IN LANE. THIS IS TACKING BACK AND FORTH AT HIGH SPEEDS TO AVOID HITTING VEHICLES OR BARRIERS ON EITHER SIDE OF YOU. TERRIFYING. THERE IS ALSO A LARGE DEAD SPOT IN THE STEERING FROM ABOUT 11 TO 1 MAKING THIS EVEN TOUGHER. JEEP TOLD ME "THIS IS AS DESIGNED." EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM, THE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO TRY ANY SOLUTIONS. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED/RECALLED BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE. THERE SHOULD BE NO VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE "DESIGNED" NOT TO RETURN TO CENTER AND HAVE MINIMAL STEERING CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT IT TENDS TO REALLY WANDER WITH ANY OUTSIDE FORCE. A SLIGHT BREEZE WILL MEAN YOU ARE ALL OVER THE ROAD, AND WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO RETURN TO CENTER YOU ARE AGAIN GUESSING AT CENTER AND END UP TACKING BACK AND FORTH EVEN AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE DEALER ALSO NOTED THIS.
STEERING,SUSPENSIONDecember 5, 2019
WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 AND 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL WANDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE VEHICLE TO STAY WITHIN THE LANE. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. ONCE I SWERVED HALF A LANES WIDTH UNDER HEAVY BRAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS 3100 MILES ON IT. AT ALL TIMES REGARDLESS OF THE ROAD CONDITION THIS BEHAVIOR EXIST AND THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, NOT A PERFORMANCE ISSUE. PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO AS HE DOES A GREAT JOB DESCRIBING THE ISSUES SURROUNDING THE SAFETY OF THIS PRODUCT. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GZES1_CJ99S I BELIEVE IF SOMETHING DOES NOT HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS. I HAD TO FIGHT WITH JEEP TO GET A RENTAL FOR THREE DAYS. THIS IS NOT A TIRE PRESSURE ISSUE OR SIMPLE ALIGNMENT ISSUE AND THAT'S HOW THE DEALERS ARE TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE, WITH BAND-AIDS I ASK FOR YOU TO READ AND TAKE THIS MESSAGE VERY SERIOUS AS I AM CONCERNED FOR ANYONE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THESE HANDLING PROBLEMS. IT IS A KNOW ISSUE AND JEEP CONTINUES TO PUT PEOPLE IN THESE CARS. THE JEEPS ARE STILL BEING SOLD WITHOUT A PROPER CONFIRMATION THAT THEY ARE SAFE. I KNOW, BECAUSE I HAVE ONE....

STEERINGDecember 1, 2019
WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 40+ MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WANDERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE, REQUIRING CONSTANT STEERING INPUT TO STAY WITHIN THE LANE. FAILING TO CORRECT THE STEERING (EVEN BRIEFLY) RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY DEPARTING FROM THE LANE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, AND ALSO ON LOCAL ROADS, A SERVICE SHIFTER ERROR MESSAGE COMES UP ON THE DASH DISPLAY. RIGHT AFTER THAT NUMEROUS ERROR LIGHTS COME ON INDICATING NUMEROUS FAILURES ALONG WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING LOCKS UP MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AND, IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THERE ARE VIDEOS ONLINE THAT SHOW THIS FAILURE ON OTHER NEW JEEP WRANGLERS.

MY 2020 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED EXHIBITS THE LOOSE STEERING ISSUE AFFECTING THE 2018/19 AND 2020 JL MODELS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ALL POSTED SPEEDS IT REQUIRES CONSTANT LEFT AND RIGHT STEERING WHEEL CORRECTIONS OR INPUT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM WANDERING OUT OF THE LANE. FCA AND THEIR DEALERS HAVE STATED THAT AS OF NOV 18, 2019 THERE IS NO FIX AND THAT THEIR ENGINEERS ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THIS LOOSE STEERING CAN ALSO BE SEEN IN THE PARKED STATIONARY POSITION BY SIMPLY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN THE 11 O'CLOCK AND 1 O'CLOCK POSITIONS AND NOT SEEING THE FRONT WHEELS REACT OR MOVE AT ALL. I HAVE ONLY 455 TOTAL MILES ON THIS JEEP AND PER MY DEALERS INSTRUCTIONS I HAVE PARKED THE JEEP AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FCA/JEEP WILL DO NOTHING AND ALSO DECLINED TO BUYBACK THE VEHICLE SO WE HAVE RETAINED LEGAL COUNSEL.

TOOK MY JEEP WRANGLER IN FOR SERVICE TO ADDRESS A SERIOUS HIGHWAY SPEED OVER STEERING ISSUE. AT FREEWAY SPEED YOU CAN NOT HOLD THE JEEP INTO A CURVE WITH DRIFTING OUT OF THE RADIUS OF THE CURVE. THIS FORCES A SLIGHT CORRECTION WHICH OVER CORRECTS THE OTHER WAY. I ALSO HAVE MY PREMIUM SOUND LEFT SPEAKERS CUTTING OUT PERIODICALLY WHEN DRIVING.

STEERINGOctober 8, 2019
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING BECOME SLOPPY AND UNRESPONSIVE. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO WANDER FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE STEERING IS LOOSE, SO ANY CORRECTION TO PREVENT THE WANDERING IS NOT ENOUGH OR TOO MUCH. THIS CAUSES A LOOP WHERE THE WANDERING BECOMES SIDE TO SIDE DRIVING. AT THESE SPEEDS IT IS IN DANGER OF FLIPPING OR HITTING ANOTHER CAR. ANY WIND OR SEAM IN THE ROAD IS ALSO CAUSE FOR CONCERN, AS THE OUTISDE FORCES CAUSE THE DRIVER TO CORRECT THE VEHICLE. WITH THE STEERING CORRECTION IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. 2 EVENTS IN 1 WEEK OF OWNERSHIP RESULTED IN LETTING THE CAR COAST TO A STOP (ON HIGHWAY SHOULDER) IN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN COMPOSURE AFTER EXCESSIVE SIDE TO SIDE WANDERING NEARLY FLIPPED THE CAR. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WE PURCHASED THIS 2020 JEEP ON 09/03/2019 AND THE SAME DAY NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING. IT WOULD SWAY IN THE LANE AND YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT IT. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND GOT ALMOST ZERO RESPONSE. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DIDN'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT. I WAS BLOWN AWAY, I HAD JUST PAID OVER $50,000 FOR A BRAND NEW JEEP THAT HAD 3 MILES ON IT AND IT HAD A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO CALL SOME 800 NUMBER AND MAYBE THEY COULD HELP ME. I COMPLAINED AGAIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO MY SALESMAN AND HE SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I TOOK THE JEEP IN AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DONE AN ALIGNMENT AND THAT THE TIRES WERE A LITTLE OVER INFLATED SO THEY BROUGHT THEM TO FACTORY PRESSURE. AGAIN, THIS IS A BRAND NEW JEEP THAT THEY HAD JUST RAN THROUGH WHAT THEY CALL PDI WHEN THEY COME OFF THE TRUCK. SO IF THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS WRONG, THEN IT WAS WRONG BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CHECK IT. I RECEIVED THE JEEP BACK AND THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL. I'M HONESTLY AT MY WHITS END WITH IT. I FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD GET SOME HELP FROM YOU GUYS.

NEW 2020 WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON JUST A WEEK OLD. BEEN INTO DEALER 3 OF THOSE 7 DAYS FOR THE FOLLOWING: 1.) SIGNIFICANT PULL TO THE RIGHT ON FLAT SURFACE STREETS OR HIGHWAYS REGARDLESS OF SPEED. ALIGNMENT WAS DONE AND IN SPECS, YET THE PROBLEM EXISTS. ROTATED TIRES BACK TO BACK AND SIDE TO SIDE..NO FIX. CONSTANT CORRECTION REQUIRED EVERY FEW SECONDS MAKING IT NOT JUST A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT ALSO AN EXHAUSTING DRIVING EXPERIENCE. 2.) STEERING WHEEL IS OFF CENTERED ABOUT 5+ DEGREES TO THE RIGHT AND WANTS TO CONTINUOUSLY GO BACK TO THAT POSITION. DOES NOT ALIGN STRAIGHT. CAN FEEL IT RESISTING ME WANTING TO GO BACK OFF CENTER TO THE RIGHT. THERE IS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT WANTS TO STAY OFF CENTER ALL THE TIME. 3.) STEERING WHEEL WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IMMEDIATELY COMES BACK TOWARDS CENTER TO THE RIGHT AND FEELS LIKE IT RESISTS WHEN WANTING TO TURN LEFT; HOWEVER, WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THERE IS NO RESISTANCE AND IT DOES NOT COMEBACK TO CENTER WILLINGLY AS IT SHOULD. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT, AND ASKED THAT I WAIT FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO COME OUT IN NEXT 3-6 MONTHS. I DO NOT FIND THIS TO BE AN ACCEPTABLE OPTION.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND THE JEEP TENDS TO WANDER LEFT AND RIGHT. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS CURVES IN THE HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY GOING DOWNHILL, CONTROLLING THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT AND SCARY. THE ONLY THING TO DO UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES IS TO SLOW DOWN SUFFICIENTLY TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. ON SEPT 1, 2019 I'VE ALMOST RAN INTO THE MEDIAN DIVIDER ON I-70 WEST, WEST OF EVERGREEN CO. ON SEPT 2, 2019, I WAS STRUGGLING TO STAY IN MY LANE HEADING EAST ON I-70 INTO DENVER, JUST EAST OF GOLDEN, CO
