2017 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SWAY BAR AND J-LINK SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE VEERED OUT OF CONTROL AND STRUCK A MAIL BOX, FENCE, AND CONCRETE WALL, WHICH CAUSED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER TO SEPARATE AND LEAK FLUID.

THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT STRUCK A METER AT A PROPANE DISTRIBUTION CENTER, CAUSING A PROPANE LEAK. POLICE REPORT NUMBER: 201901663 WAS FILED.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2017 JEEP WRANGLER MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4 WEEKS AGO. THE CAR POPS OUT OF REVERSE AND GRINDS TERRIBLY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY, AT FIRST, SAID FOR SURE, SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THEN TRIED TO TELL US THAT THAT WAS 'NORMAL' FOR 2017 MODELS. WE DISAGREED AND MADE THEM KEEP DIGGING. AFTER LOOKING AT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS ABOUT THE 2017 TRANSMISSIONS POPPING OUT OF REVERSE, THEY FINALLY AGREED SOMETHING IS WRONG. NOW THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR 5 DAYS AND THEY ARE DRIVING IT AND NOW STATE THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS STARING THAT THIS IS A TREND WITH 2017 TRANSMISSIONS. THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY BRAND NEW CAR. I DON'T WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE 2017 ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND MY BRAND NEW CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IN EITHER. JEEP NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

I OWNED A 2015 JEEP WRANGLER AND NOW A 2017 JEEP WRANGLER BOTH OF THEM HAVE HAD RADIATORS THAT LEAK IN THE SAME PLACE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS NOT A CONSIDENCE THERE IS A FACTORY PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THIS.

WHILE I WAS PARKING IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKING SPACE, THE CAR ACCELERATED ITSELF SO DRASTICALLY WHILE I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. I HIT THE BREAK SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION. THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING WHEN I TURNED IT OFF. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AS NO ONE EXPECT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE ITSELF. JUST BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURE YOU CAN NOTICE HOW FAR THE CAR WENT, HOW MUCH DAMAGE IT CAUSED BY THIS STRANGE ACCELERATION AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW FAST THE CAR ACCELERATED.

AFTER BACKING UP MY JEEP AND PLACING IT IN DRIVE I NOTICED MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY JEEP STOPS.

MY VEHICLE WENT IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. SINCE THEN MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO COME ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE NEW VEHICLE FROM TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE FIVE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THIS SUMMER. THEY HAVE CLAIMED TO REPAIR COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE, YET THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN A VEHICLE THAT A SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALERSHIP RETURNED MY VEHICLE BACK WITH OUT 2 TIRE BOLTS IN THE FRONT LEFT TIRE

TAKATA RECALL: AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY IN FRONT IN ACCIDENT. FRONT DIVERS SIDE, ENOUGH DAMAGE TO BREAK TIE ROD INHALF BUT AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ICONS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING TO THEIR DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING; HOWEVER, AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH TRONCALLI CHRYSLER JEEP (818A ATLANTA RD, CUMMING, GA 30040). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH. AN 18 WHEELER PASSED ME GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE RESULTING BLAST OF WIND FORCED MY HOOD OPEN WHICH SLAMMED BACK INTO MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING A SERIOUS INCIDENT. THE LEFT RUBBER STRAP BROKE IN HALF. THE CENTER LATCH FAILED TO SECURE THE HOOD. THE RIGHT STRAP BROKE WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE JEEP FENDER. *DT *BF*JB
