2017 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS GO OUT & THE RADIO. MANY ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT'S NOT GETTING FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS FIANC WHO OWNS A 2017 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARING LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TANNER MOTORS (620 W. WASHINGTON ST, BRAINERD, MN 56401; (218) 829-3597) WHO STATED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDED TO REPLACED DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING TURNED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT TOO MANY TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, THE DEALER CONTACTED PERSONS WITH CHRYSLER REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V290000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

A FEW MONTHS AGO, I GOT IN MY CAR AND TURNED THE KEY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. ALL LIGHTS CAME ON, BUT NO POWER. LET IT SIT ABOUT 5 MIN, TRIED AGAIN AND IT MAGICALLY STARTED. IT DID THIS 3 OR 4 TIMES IN A FEW DAYS TIME OVER THE SUMMER (2020) AND THEN STOPPED. ON 9/26/20, IT STARTED DOING THIS AGAIN. IT LEFT ME AND MY MOTHER STRANDED FOR 20 MIN AT A TIME DOING THE EXACT THING, BEFORE FINALLY STARTING. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND ON MY MAKE AND MODEL, THERE IS A RECALL ABOUT A CHIP IN THE KEY FOB NOT CONNECTING WITH A MODULE IN THE JEEP COMPUTER CORRECTLY. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID SINCE MY SPECIFIC VIN WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE RECALL, IT WOULD BE $75 FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND IT WOULD BE 4 DAYS BEFORE THEY WOULD GET ME IN. I AM 6 MONTHS PREGNANT AND HIGH RISK WITH GESTATIONAL DIABETES AFTER LOSING 2 BABIES. I AM LIVID THAT I CAN'T GET ANY HELP ON A LEASED VEHICLE SINCE THE MILEAGE IS OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY. I HAVE CRIED ALL MORNING TERRIFIED THAT ME, MY DAUGHTER AND UNBORN BABY WILL BE STUCK SOMEWHERE AT A DOCTOR APPT IN A BAD AREA WITH NO TRANSPORTATION.

WE WERE PARKED, WITH MOTOR RUNNING AND GOT A SLIGHT WHIFF OF THE SWEET ANTI FREEZE SCENT. TOOK IT TO A SHOP WHO SAID WE HAD A VERY SMALL HOLE NEAR THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR. AFTER RESEARCH, WE SEE THIS IS A HIGHLY REPORTED PROBLEM. ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE? WE HAVE A 15 YEAR OLD VW BUG CONVERTIBLE AND A 20 YEAR OLD FORD F150 AN HAVE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH THE RADIATORS. SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS!

I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 2 HOURS WHEN I NOTICED A SMELL. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND GOT OUT TO TAKE A LOOK. I FIRST WALKED TO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NOTHING. I TURNED AROUND AND STARTED FOR THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I LEANED IN THE TO DRIVERS SIDE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND SAW FLAMES. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES, NO LIGHTS, NO PERFORMANCE ISSUES, ETC. EVERYTHING WAS STILL WORKING FINE WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF.*DT THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS. *TR

FAULTY BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE HEATER WOULD BLOW AIR BUT IT WOULD NOT GET HOT. UPON INSPECTION THE MECHANIC FOUND THE CHEAPLY MADE PART HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY RESEARCH ONLINE HAS FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM IN NEWER MODEL JEEP WRANGLERS. THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE FAILING ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD!!

FAULTY RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND NEVER HAD ACCIDENTS OR ISSUES. THE TEMP STARTED OVERHEATING AND UPON INSPECTION THE MECHANIC STATED THE RADIATOR WAS CAUSING IT. MY RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD!

MY DASH KEEPS LOOSING POWER AND WHEN IT DOES I HAVE NO BREAKS OR LIGHTS. EVERYTHING DROPS TO ZERO AND THEN IT WILL JUST JUMP BACK UP AGAIN. MY ABSOLUTE, BRAKES,BATTERY, SEATBELT SENSORS KEEP GOING ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENS MOVING AND IN PARK. OCCASIONALLY IT WON'T START EITHER. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER TESTED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL WHEN GETTING IT CHECKED AND INSPECTION BUT UPON CALLING THE READERSHIP I WAS TOLD NO.

WHEN TRYING TO START VEHICLE, ALL LIGHTS ARE ON AND CAR CRANKS BUT WONT TURN OVER. TRIED BOTH KEYS. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, 10-15, THE VEHICLE WILL FINALLY START. BATTERY IS FINE. STARTER IS FINE. IT TAKES NUMEROUS TRIES TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. THERE ARE ONLY 16000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE.

ABS AND TRACTION SENSORS COME ON WHEN TURNING LEFT. ABS SOMETIMES DEPLOYS WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN BRAKING. SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN A VEHICLE THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD. I AM HEARING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN JEEP WRANGLERS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD.
