2012 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

ENGINEERING DEFECT I HAD TO REPLACE THE OIL PAN ON THE TRANSMISSION I FOUND THAT THE CONDENSATE FROM THE AIR CONDITION WAS DRAINING ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION AND RUNNING DOWN TO THE CORNER OF THE OIL PAN AND ROTTING THE PAN OUT. WILL SEND PICTURES I SENT THIS COMPLAINT IN BEFORE BUT DID NOT HEAR FROM YOU.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, HORN DOESN'T WORK, RADIO CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T WORK. I'M SURE IT'S THE CLOCK SPRING BUT ACCORDING TO RECALLS MINE WASN'T UNDER THE RECALL. WORKED PERFECTLY ON WAY HOME FROM WORK, GOT IN A FEW HOURS LATER TO GET DINNER AND NOTHING WORKED, AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HORN WOULDN'T WORK.

I HAD MY DRIVER'S SIDE CLOCK SPRING REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP IN 2019 DUE TO RECALL. LAST 2 MONTHS, AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF BUT USUALLY ONLY WHEN I AM IN FULL TURN. ON AUG 3, 2020, I NOTICED MY OUTSIDE TEMP WAS READING CELSIUS SO I TRIED TO CHANGE IT BACK TO FAHRENHEIT. BUTTON WAS NOT WORKING. CHECKED MY HORN...NOTHING....CRUISE CONTROL....NOTHING. I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL MAKING CLICKING KIND OF POPPING SOUND. 30 MIN LATER, I PUT MY JEEP IN PARK AND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF TWIN FALLS LOCATED AT 1310 POLE LINE RD E, TWIN FALLS, ID 83301, (208) 293-8571 HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,002.

PURCHASE 2012 JEEP WRANGLER JKU USED. PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD VEHICLE WHEN PURCHASED. EVERY COMPONENT IN THE PARKING BRAKE SCHEMATIC HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW. PARKING BRAKE PROPERLY ADJUSTED TWICE, STILL UNABLE TO HOLD VEHICLE AT 7 DEGREE INCLINE SLOPED DRIVEWAY. EVEN TRIED OVER-TIGHTENING THE STAR WHEEL ADJUSTER FOR THE BRAKE PADS, STILL DOES NOT HOLD VEHICLE. CONCLUSION, 2012 JEEP WRANGLER JKU IS TOO HEAVY FOR THE FCA DESIGNED PARKING BRAKE, THIS VEHICLE WILL CREATE A CRASH WHEN IT MOVES OUT OF A PARKING SPACE INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF UNDER DESIGNED PARKING BRAKE.

ENGINEERING DEFECT OIL PAN ON TRANSMISSION LEAKING HAD PAN REPLACED AT DEALER THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY DO TO RUST. I FOUND DRAIN FROM A/C DRAINS ON TOP OF TRANSMISSION ONTO OIL PAN WHICH RUSTS OUT PAN AS IN PICTURES WATER STAIN ON TRANSMISSION AND PAN FROM A/C CONDENSATE CAR HAS 29,000 MILES I HAVE MORE PICTURES IF NEEDED

AIRBAG WARNING SENSOR IS COMING ON. OTHER 2012 JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CONTINUOUSLY STAYED ON NO MATTER TRYING TO RESET IT OR SITTING IN THE SEAT IT'S JUST BEEN ON AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT'S FAULTY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN CRUISE CONTROL, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CAUSING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DISENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FITZGERALD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM LEXINGTON PARK LOCATED AT 22231 THREE NOTCH RD, LEXINGTON PARK, MD 20653 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NO RECALLS WERE UNDER THE VIN AND TO CALL NHTSA TO PLACE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATE 914.

MY JEEP WRANGLER IS IN THE DEALER TODAY THE CAR HAS 29,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION DRAIN PAN IS LEAKING THEY CLAIM IT IS FROM RUST THE PAN MAY BE WHITE METAL OR ALUMINUM I ASKED THE PARTS PERSON AT THE DEALER EARLIER IF THEY SOLD A LOT OF PANS HE SAID YES I CHECKED THE FORUM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND LOW MILEAGE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I FEEL THE PANS MAY BE THE WRONG MATERIAL FOR THE OIL BEING USED. AND MAY NEED A RECALL ON THE PANS. *TR
