2017 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

I PURCHASED THIS PRE OWNED VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS ABRUPTLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND HIGHWAY 4 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE DATE. IT IS A LIFE THREATENING, HAZARDOUS VEHICLE AND I'M TERRIFIED FOR MY SAFETY.*DT

VEHICLE BRIEFLY LOSES POWER AND ENGINE TEMPORARILY TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES THIS OCCURS WITHIN 1 SECOND TOTAL, AND IS BARELY NOTICED. HOWEVER, TODAY IT OCCURRED FOR NEARLY 5-10 SECONDS, AND I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED IN TRAFFIC DUE TO IT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, IN THE CITY, ON A MAJOR STREET, DRIVING STRAIGHT WITHOUT ANY HAZARDS OR EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. HAS OCCURRED OVER 20 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW.

JEEP WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WHEN WE HAD A STORM ON FEB 1 THRU FEB 3, 2019 AND I ENTER MY JEEP AFTER THE 3 DAY STORM THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR WAS IN 3 INCHES OF WATER AND TOTALLY FLOODED. I GOT TOWELS AND SOAKED THE WATER UP. THEN WE HAD ANOTHER STORM TO COME IN ON FEB 4 AND 5, 2019 AND I PARK MY CAR FACING THE OTHER WAY IN DRIVE WAY AND AGAIN AFTER THE 2 DAY STORM MY JEEP WAS FLOODED AGAIN ON DRIVER FRONT FLOOR ABOUT 2 INCHES. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP WORKER AND RENTAL EMPLOYEE WHO I WAS TELLING THE STORY TOO SAID OH YOU MUST DRIVE A WRANGLER . THAT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. MY BIG CONCERN IS THAT I COULD SMELL MODE. WHEN I WENT BACK A FEW DAYS LATER A SERVICE REP WAS ON THE PHONE WITH ANOTHER CUSTOMER WHO WAS SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY ARE FIXING THE RUBBER AROUND THE DOOR FOR DEFECTS AND CHANGING CARPET. BUT I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RECALLING THE VEHICLE I ONLY HAVE HAD IT FOR 19 MONTHS.

FIRST START OF THE DAY. WEATHER COLD. UPON SHIFTING INTO REVERSE THE ENGINE SPEED DROPS DRAMATICALLY TO THE POINT OF STUMBLING / STALLING. STALLING OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 20% OF THE TIME.

I HIT A VEHICLE THAT CROSSED IN FRONT OF ME. MY DRIVER FRONT BUMPER HIT THEIR PASSENGER FRONT BUMPER. MY AIR BAG DID NOT INFLATE. MY SPEED WAS APPX. 45 MPH. *DSY *DT*JB

ON 04/28/2018 I WENT OFF ROADING TO MY FAVORITE TRAIL. THE JEEP WAS STATIONARY UNTILTHE CAR STARTD TO SLOWLY MOVE WHILE IT WAS ON PARK. IN AN ATTEMPT TO BREAKS AND STEER AWAY FROM THE WATER THE TRUCK STEERING AND BREAK WASN'T RESPONDING TO EITHER DIRECTION. TOOK POLICE ENFORCEMENT A WHILE TO RESPOND AND AS THEY ARRIVE THE TIDE TOOK THE VEHICLE AND SUBMERGED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD

ON EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVING JEEP LOOSES POWER SUDDENLY AND SLOWS TO A STOP. ONCE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE MUST KEYED ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES, AND EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN ON EXTENDED INTERSTATE TRIPS OVER 3+ HRS. NO CEL CODES HAVE BEEN THROWN SO THE DEALER HAS NOT TAKEN THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. I'M NOT EVEN SURE THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH JEEP TECHNICAL SUPPORT. WE ARE UNSURE WHAT TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE AS WE DO NOT TRUST TO TAKE IT FOR ANY TYPE OF TRIP. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR MANY OTHER ISSUES UNDER WARRANTY AND I WONDER IF THEY ARE ALL RELATED SOMEHOW VIA AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BY VEHICLE THAT RAN A RED LIGHT. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, HOWEVER MAJOR DAMAGE WAS DONE TO VEHICLE, POSSIBLY TOTALED. DRIVER WAS ALSO INJURED IN CHEST AREA. *DT *TR

PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE JEEP, IT BARN TO SMOKE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK ON DRIVEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, A LOUD BANGING AND WRENCHING NOISE SUDDENLY OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE DRIVER COULD ALSO FEEL HEAT COMING FROM THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT HAD SEVERED, SEPARATED FROM THE STEEL ENCASEMENT, AND EXPLODED THROUGH THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CAUSED A HOLE IN THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TEXAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (18555 HWY 59 N., HUMBLE, TX 77338). THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,700.
