2012 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TAKATA RECALL; I GOT INTO CAR ACCIDENT AND AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. CAR WAS A TOTAL LOST. I THINK I HAD TAKATA AIR BAGS.

THE PARKING BRAKE HANDLE/ CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN FAULTY ON MY VEHICLE FROM ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT NEW. IT BEING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY ON SEVERAL INSTANCES. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL OE UNIT TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM. YES THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CABLE TENSION SYSTEM.

JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2012 HEATED SEATS MALFUNCTIONED. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEATED SEAT BUTTON WORKS WELL. THE DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT WORK WHEN DASHBOARD BUTTON IS PRESSED DOWN. THE DRIVER SIDE HEATED SEAT INDICATOR BUTTON TURNS OFF AFTER 5 SECONDS AND DOES NOT WORK. THERE ARE NUMEROUS BLOGS AND TROUBLESHOOTING ONLINE SITES WHERE CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN OF THIS ISSUE WITH NO PERMANENT RESOLVE. MANY JEEP OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES OF GOING TO THE DEALER TO GET THIS HEATED SIT MALFUNCTION FIXED....SADLY TO ONLY HAVE THE ISSUE REOCCURR WEEKS LATER. AGAIN TO BE CLEAR, THE DRIVER SIDE HEATED SEATS DO NOT HEAT UP AT ALL. FURTHERMORE, THE DRIVER SIDE HEATED SEAT BUTTON LIGHT GOES OFF AFTER 5 SECONDS. THE FEATURE DOES NOT WORK THEREFORE RESULTING IN A LOSS IN RESALE VALUE AND EXISTING COMFORT FROM THE COLD. CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO DATE TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MOST JEEP OWNERS ARE LOYAL RETURN CUSTOMERS SO IT'S SAD THAT THE HEATED SEAT ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN DEEMED IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A RECALL.

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I TURN ON THE LEFT BLINKER. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TAILGAIT. AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE THE TAILGATE HINGE DID NOT STOP THE TAILGATE FROM OPENING UP A FULL 180 DEGREES CAUSING THE ELBOW JOINT TO COME COMPLETELY OUT AND MY RIGHT TAIL LIGHT TO BE SHATTERED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER SHIP THAT THIS WAS COMMON ISSUE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALLS/EMAILS TO GET IT FIXED.

TIPM PROBLEMS OVER HEATING. SAFETY FRONT TURN SIGNALS CHANGED TO FOG LIGHT NOT AWARE UNTIL PARKED IN FRONT OF A PLATE GLASS WINDOW AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM TIPM LESS THAN 90 DAYS SINCE IT WAS CHANGED. HEARING OF AIRBAG FAILURE ANTILOCK BRAKE PROBLEMS ETC ALL RELATED TO THE TIPM SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR CONCERN

WHEN DRIVING AND ACCELERATE TO AROUND 3500 TO 5000 RPM RANDOMLY THE JEEP STALLS AND DOESN'T ACCELERATE NORE PASSES 2500 RPMS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY. I CLEARED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AROUND 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. OBD CODE WAS P06DD

WHEN DRIVING MY JEEP IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. TODAY I WHEN FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND WAS TRYING TO PARK ON A BUSY STREET AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN START THE VEHICLE AGAIN BEFORE I COULD DRIVE AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD POSSIBLY KILL SOMEONE IF THIS HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE. IVE READ MANY REPORTS ON LINE OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON 10/2/2015 INVOLVING 2012 JEEP WRANGLER, MY VEHICLE JERKED TO THE RIGHT SUDDENLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. THE JEEP WAS JERKED OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH ON THE RIGHT, HIT THE FRONT END OF THE DITCH AND WAS LAUNCHED AIRBORNE, THEN CRASHED ON THE CEMENT WALL OF A SECOND DITCH, BOUNCING TWICE BEFORE LANDING IN THE DITCH AND HITTING THE FRONT END OF THAT DITCH. I REPEATEDLY SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT ENGAGE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY SEAT BELT TENSIONER DID NOT ENGAGE, CAUSING ME TO BE THROWN FORWARD AND BACKWARDS REPEATEDLY. I SUFFERED A CLOSED HEAD INJURY AND HERNIATIONS TO MULTIPLE DISCS IN MY NECK AS WELL AS TRAUMA TO THE FACET JOINTS IN MY NECK, RESULTING IN SEVERE FORAMINAL STENOSIS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS THAT REQUIRES NEUROSURGICAL INTERVENTION. I SLAMMED MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL 4 TIMES, MY CHEST ONCE. THIS ACCIDENT FOREVER CHANGED MY LIFE. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALLED FCA TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT, AM ALWAYS TOLD SOMEONE WILL CALL ME BACK. IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS AND NO ONE HAS CALLED ME BACK. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD SOMEONE WOULD COME LOOK AT MY VEHICLE TO INSPECT IT, NEVER HAPPENED. AS I FACE URGENT SURGERY TO MY SPINE WITH PAIN TO MY NECK RADIATING DOWN MY RIGHT ARM, ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS CHRYSLER. THEY RECALLED 2016-2017 JEEP WRANGLERS FOR FAULTY WIRING OF THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE, AS WELL AS JEEP PATRIOTS AND COMPASSES MADE THE SAME YEAR AS MY VEHICLE ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. FCA REFUSES TO RETURN MY PHONE CALLS, HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE ARE THEY IGNORING? THEY NEED SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY DON'T RECALL ALL VEHICLES BUILT WITH THE SAME COMPONENTS, KNOWING THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT POSE A SAFETY RISK.
