2012 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TIPM SHOULD BE RECALLED. FRONT WIND SHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN A SNOW STORM AND NOW SEVERAL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE ACTING FUNNY. COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE - NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH WORKING. NEED TO REPLACE THE TIPM AND WAS TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER - TOTAL COST $1200 REPAIR

THE JEEP STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT STILL CONTINUES. LAST WEEK MY SON WAS DRIVING HOME, AND AFTER 2 HOURS OF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED AT 70MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY. IT IS NOW BACK IN THE SHOP, AGAIN! IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD JUST RANDOMLY ALERTS OFF AND ON AND THIS WAS AT THE SAME TIME ALL THE LEFT SIDE PANELS OF THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING INCLUDING THE HORN. IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT SHIFTS THE AIR BAG PASSENGER ALERT SYSTEM LET'S YOU KNOW IT'S NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A CLOCKSPRING AND IT'S AIR BAG WIRING UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT TO THE ALERT SYSTEM. I SAW ON THIS SITE WHERE IT MENTIONED A CLOCKSPRING PROBLEM.IT DOES THIS WHETHER STOPPED OR GOING. THIS IS CONTINUOUSLY AN ISSUE NOW. PLEASE ADVISE HOW I NEED TO PROCEED WITH THE RECALL.

WHEN I FILL-UP MY GAS TANK, THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF PROPERLY AND GAS OVERFLOWS TANK, SPILLING ONTO REAR QUARTER PANEL, BUMPER, AND GROUND SURFACE. AT TIME OF FILL-UP, VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, PARKING BREAK ON, AND ENGINE OFF. THIS OCCURS PRACTICALLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP GAS TANK, AND OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. HENCE, THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED BY THE GAS STATION PUMPS, AND APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY MY VEHICLE NOT SHUTTING OFF PUMP BEFORE GAS OVERFLOWS TANK. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE, AND IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON TO JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, AND JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX PROBLEM. OVERALL, THE OVERFLOWING OF GAS FROM TANK UPON EACH FILL-UP PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO VEHICLE OWNERS AND GAS STATION ATTENDANTS (NOTE: I LIVE IN NJ, AND STATE LAW REQUIRED GAS STATION ATTENDANTS, I.E., NOT VEHICLE OWNERS, TO PUMP ALL GAS INTO VEHICLES). I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, AND UNDERSTAND THAT THEY INITIATED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR 2007 TO 2009 JEEP WRANGLERS, BUT NOT LATER MODELS.

HEATING ISSUES, HEAR FLUID RUNNING THROUGH HEATER CORE, HAVE BEEN THROUGH 2 WATER PUMPS, NO HEAT WHEN STOPPED BUT HEAT WHEN MOVING,

GAS TANK CRACK LEAKS FUMES, ALSO THE TRANSMISSION POPS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT FIX UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN REPAIRMAN TEST DROVE IT. NOW ITS COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT DOES NOT WORK HAS 36,700. MILES ON IT 700 MILES PAST WARRANTY AND ONE YEAR PASS WARRANTY. THESE ARE TWO DEFECTIVE PARTS AND EITHER COULD RUN YOU OFF THE ROAD AND GAS LEAK BLOW UP YOUR CAR. MY GUESS IS THESE PARTS ARE MADE IN CHINA. WE ALL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS WITH OUR SAFETY AND OUR LIVES IN SOME CASES.

JOINT BETWEEN PITMAN ARM AND TIE ROD FAILED, LEAVING NO STEERING WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH IN A STRAIGHT-AWAY. UNDER MANY CIRCUMSTANCES THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO A DEADLY CRASH. THERE WAS NO FOREWARNING OF PENDING JOINT FAILURE (NO NOISE, VIBRATION, SLOPPY STEERING, ETC). VEHICLE WAS SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PRECEDING 3 MONTHS. NO MECHANICS OBSERVED WEAR OF THIS JOINT. 105K MILES ON VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE STARTED OUT WITH INTERMITTENTLY NOT BEING ABLE TO START/ TURN OVER OR RECEIVE ELECTRONIC SIGNALS TO THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. OVER TIME THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE PREVALENT WITH OTHER ISSUES OCCURRING ALONG WITH INABILITY TO START. THESE PROBLEMS INCLUDED LOSS OF POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION AND POSITION SENSORS, AND CABIN LIGHTS COMING ON THERE OWN WHILE DRIVING. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE MECHANICS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TIPM WAS THE PROBLEM, AFTER REPLACING THE MODULE ALL PROBLEMS HAVE STOPPED.

2012 WRANGLER CLOCK SPRING ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL YEAR. AIRBAG MAY NOT INFLATE IF NEEDED AND THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO MY MODEL YEAR. DO I NEED TO DIE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS?

THE HEATER ON MY JEEP, WHICH ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT, SLOWLY STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. THE CALLED LATER THAT DAY AND SAID I NEED A NEW HEATER CORE WHICH COSTS $1200. THE NEXT DAY THE CALLED BACK AND SAID THAT I ACTUALLY NEED A NEW HEATER CORE, RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT, ETC. BASICALLY THE WHOLE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE ENGINE AND THE ESTIMATE IS UP TO $2200. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM WHICH IS FRUSTRATING. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A RADIATOR PROBLEM THAT SENDS PARTICLES THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND CLOGS THE HEATER CORE. I'M HOPING THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL SO THAT I CAN RECOUP SOME OF THIS $2200 THAT I'M ABOUT TO HAVE TO PAY TO FIX MY JEEP. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT APPARENTLY!
