SWAY BAR LIGHT AND OTHER INDICATORS FLASHING BECAUSE OF WATER ENTERING THE ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR DISCONNECT BOX IN FRONT OF THE SWAY BAR, UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IN A NON-WATERPROOF CONTAINMENT, CAUSING MULTIPLE SHORTS. COMMON ISSUE IN 2012 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED 4X4 BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN.

SWAY BAR INDICATOR WON'T STOP BLINK AND I HAVE NEVER USED THIS FUNCTION AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPES GO ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES AND THE PAINT ON THE DOOR HINGES HAVE BEEN BUBBLING SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND I LAID EXTRA FOR THE CAR CARE PACKAGE BUT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR IT

BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH RPMS REVVING BUT NO ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN JEEP WILL NOT TURN OVER AND WARNING LIGHT FOR ETC IS ON

I PERSONALLY BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS HIDING INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THERE HAS JUST BEEN A RECALL FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM OF THE COMPASS, LIBERTY AND PATRIOT. IF ALSO APPLIED TO A SIMILAR EXHAUST SYSTEM ON MY WRANGLER I COULD HAVE AVOIDED A $1600 REPAIR FOR A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. FURTHERMORE MY WRANGLER IS BURNING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES. THIS IS A VERY TYPICAL PROBLEM ONLINE. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR MY JEEP. AT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (LAHTI'S JEEP, LEOMINSTER), CHRYSLER WAS SUPPOSEDLY GOING DOWN TO LOOK AT THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR JEEP. LAHTI'S HAS TOLD ME THEY THINK CHRYSLER IS DODGING THEIR CALLS. NO MECHANIC HAS CONFIRMED THIS AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION IS OK. CHRYSLER TELLS ME ITS "NORMAL." FINALLY, MY JEEP HAS JUST STARTED VIBRATING WHILE STOPPED (IN GEAR) WHILE HOLDING THE BREAKS. THE VIBRATING CREATES ONLY A SMALL RUMBLING NOISE BUT THE VIBRATIONS ARE VERY EVIDENT SITTING IN THE CAR OR HOLDING ONTO IT. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH A TECHNICIAN TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I DO NOT PAY FOR THOSE SERVICES. APPARENTLY BUYING A 30,000 DOLLAR CAR DOES NOTHING BUT "ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE." THE DEALERSHIP (ACTON CHRYSLER JDR) WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE DESCRIBED. CHRYSLER REFUSES OWNERSHIP OVER ANY OF MY AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES. THERE'S INHERENT ISSUES WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES RECEIVED PROVIDE NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION OF THE VEHICLES ISSUES WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE. ALTHOUGH MY JEEP WRANGLER (YOU KNOW CHRYSLER'S TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE) DRIVES ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY FINE, IT CANNOT PASS INSPECTION WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THUS I AM FORCED TO LEAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AS LONG AS THEY WANT TO CHARGE THE HIGHEST DIAGNOSIS FEE POSSIBLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS A BETTER REPAIR MANUAL AND SYSTEM UPDATES TO MAKE REPAIRS EASIER.

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER I BOUGHT IN AUGUST 2018. THIS JUNE MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND DINGS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY MY MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND THAT THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS REPLACED. I LOOKED AT ALL RECALLS, I NOTICED THRU THE NHTSA THE RECALLS LISTED ARE FOR ONLY RIGHT HAND DRIVE 2012 JEEPS. WHY WOULD IT MATTER RIGHT OR LEFT HAND DRIVE?? THEY USE THE SAME PARTS. SO MY QUESTION IS, IS THIS RECALL GOOD FOR MY JEEP?? AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO AIR BAG PROTECTION. I DID HOWEVER HAVE THE TAKATA AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL DONE. I THINK THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR JEEPS OF ALL YEARS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST AS ALL NOT WORDED AS RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS.

THIS VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE BETWEEN THE REAR OF THE ENGINE AND THE FIREWALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALL FIRE SUPPRESSION EFFORTS FAILED AND THE VEHICLE BURNED TO THE GROUND. THIS VEHICLE HAD JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BEING SERVICED FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE A LONG HISTORY OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS REQUIRING SERVICE, ALL OF WHICH WAS DONE AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY BEFORE THE FIRE BEGAN IT LOOKS LIKE THE VEHICLE STARTED LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT WAS BEING OPERATED AT ABOUT 50MPH ON A PAVED ROADWAY JUST PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE FIRE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN PULLING TO A STOP AND PARKING AFTER LEAVING THE MAIN ROADWAY AND PULLING INTO A PRIVATE DRIVE OF A RESIDENCE. A TRAIL OF FLUID WAS FOUND ON THE MAIN ROADWAY BEGINNING JUST PRIOR TO THE TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND ENDING AT THE JEEP. THIS JEEP HAD NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE SUSPENSION OR DRIVE TRAIN AND HAD STOCK SIZE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS UP TO DATE ON ALL RECALL SERVICE WORK. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WAS THE INITIAL SOURCE OF IGNITION BUT I DID SEE TRANSMISSION FLUID FEEDING THE FIRE.
