2011 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

THE FUEL TANK RUSTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE TANK WAS ON BACKORDER AND THIS WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

I SPOKE TO BROWN'S FORD IN PATCHOGUE AT 8:58AM AS WELL AS RIVERHEAD CHRYSLER 9:30AM TODAY TO BRING THE JEEP IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY INFORMED ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE AIRBAG PROPELLANT RECALL AND DO NOT HAVE A DATE FOR ARRIVAL ONLY TO SAY MOST LIKELY JULY. THEY WOULD TAKE MY INFO AND CALL ONCE THE PARTS ARE IN. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP, NOT A MONTH OR TWO FROM NOW.

REPEATED FAILURE OF RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT HOUSING. ANNUAL REPLACEMENT PLUS THE HEATER CORE DETERIORATION DUE TO PH LEVELS. BAD DESIGN. SAFETY ISSUE AS A FAILED RADIATOR BLOWS UP STEAM AND BLOCKS VIEW IN MOTION IN UNSAFE.

I AM NOT ABLE TO GET THE AIR BAG RECALL DONE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I NO LONGER HAVE THE STOCK STEREO.

AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR SIDE MIRROR/BACK DEFROSTER RECALL, MY REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR WORK WAS COMPLETED, THE REAR DEFROSTER DID NOT WORK SINCE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION & THEY CANNOT FIX IT. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THE REAR WINDOW IS FOGGED UP, THERE IS ZERO VISIBILITY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND CANNOT SEE WHAT'S BEHIND ME! IT'S A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP VEHICLES AND IT WAS WORKING FINE BEFORE MY RECALL REPAIRS. A JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SIDE MIRRORS WORKED BETTER BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIRS AS WELL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V018000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. GLENN'S FREEDOM CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1560 E NEW CIRCLE RD, LEXINGTON, KY 40509, (888) 365-3286) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

RECENTLY HAD AIRBAG REPLACED PER RECALL. ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE, AIRBAG LIGHT ON CONSOLE NOW COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. WILL GO OFF FOR BRIEF PERIOD, THEN ALARMS AND ILLUMINATES AGAIN. THIS BEGAN WITH AROUND 149,500 MILES. I AM ORIGINAL PURCHASER. AIRBAG LIGHT WAS DOING THIS AT TIME OF AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. I CONFIRMED AUTHORIZED REPAIR DEPT. WAS AWARE OF THIS, AND THEY CONFIRMED. INFORMED ME TO SCHEDULE FOLLOWUP APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN NO ACCIDENTS. UPON PERSONAL REVIEW, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS MAY BE A CLOCK SPRING ISSUE, AS BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL ARE NON-OPERATIONAL, EXCEPT CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN.

THE OE HOOD LATCHES DEGRADE OVER TIME ALLOWING THE HOOD TO VIBRATE AND "LIFT" ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED ANECDOTALLY - GOOGLE "WRANGLER JK HOOD FLUTTER". I SAW THE FRONT OF MY HOOD MOVING AT LEAST 1" TO THE POINT WHERE I FEARED IT WOULD FLY UP OVER THE WINDSHIELD. I REPLACED MY LATCHES WITH THOSE FROM THE 2018-19 WRANGLER JL MODEL WHICH NOW USES A METAL RING IN PLACE OF THE RUBBER BAND ON THE JK LATCH. THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT FCA REALIZES THE JK DESIGN IS FAULTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V018000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.
