2012 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

ON 04/09/16, THE WIPERS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING, AND DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY, AND ON HIGH BEAM. HAVE TO UNHOOK BATTERY TERMINAL IN ORDER TO GET LIGHT TO GO OUT. WAS TOLD THE TIPM TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE HAS FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, A LOUD TICKING NOSE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ENGINE CYLINDER NUMBER TWO MISFIRED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE COOLING SYSTEM HAD SAND IN IT FROM THE FACTORY CAUSING THE RADIATOR TO BURST, THE TRANSMISSION COOLER AND HEATER SYSTEM TO PLUG UP AND NOT WORK. THERE IS A FACTORY SERVICE BULLETIN ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM AND AS I WAS STRANDED WHEN RADIATOR BLEW OUT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE TO BE STRANDED IN NOWHERE.

THERE SEEM TO BE A NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE MOSTLY AROUND THE DOOR LOCKING FAILURE; THE HORN AND THE TOUCH RADIO

I WAS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. SPECIFICALLY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NOT WORKING. IT WAS SNOWING OUTSIDE AND THEY JUST WOULDN'T WORK. I HAD TO MANUALLY GET OUT OF MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO CLEAR THE SNOW BEFORE I MADE IT HOME. I GOT THE MOTOR REPLACED BUT IT THEY STILL WERE NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT MY ENTIRE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) "WENT BAD". THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COULD NOT ORDER THE PART BECAUSE ITS ON BACK-ORDER. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ESTIMATED TIME OF DELIVERY. THE TIPM CONTROLS ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS ON MY VEHICLE AND I CAN NOT DRIVE WITHOUT IT. IT IS A 2012 SO I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS PART IS FAILING, LET ALONE UNAVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. FURTHERMORE THE PART ALONE IS $850 AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE FOR THIS PART BEING DEFECTIVE BUT IT ONLY COVERED CERTAIN MAKES/ YEARS.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, ONCE IT REACHES THE FULL POINT, IT FAILS TO TRIGGER THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP IN TIME AND FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE REAR FENDER. IT DOES THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP.

I TOOK MY 2012 JEEP INTO A DEALER SPIRIT DODGE IN SWEDESBORO NJ 08085 SATURDAY 2/27/16 MY COMPLAINT WAS NO HEAT. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDS A HEATER CORE A RADIATOR, AND TRANS COOLER. AND THAT MY EASY CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS IT COVERS HEAT. MY EASY CARE CONTRACT NUMBER IS EGTK886782. MY JEEP HAS 52000 MILES. THEY SAID IT HAS SLUDGE IN THE SYSTEM. NOW MY SYSTEM IS NOT SCHUELDED TO BE CLEANED FLUSHED TILL 60 MONTH. SO IT FAILED BEFORE THE TIME. I WAS TOLD IT'S A KNOW PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THEM. I BOUGHT THE JEEP AT VANN DODGE IN VINELAND NJ. SO I REALLY FEEL CHEATED. I HAVE HAD NO HEAT FOR A WHILE BUT I DIDN'T REPORT RIGHT AWAY

TPIM MODULE HAS FAILED CAUSING SEVERAL STRANGE ISSUES WITH THE CAR. MOST NOTABLE FOR SAFETY IS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER PUMP WILL NOT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,644.

AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL M031 IN EARLY 2012. THE PART RECALLED HAD FAILED AGAIN CAUSING AIRBAG LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED, LOSS OF SPEED CONTROL, LOSS OF STEERING WHEEL AUDIO CONTROLS, LOSS OF HORN, AND LOSS OF "STEP" AND "RESET BUTTONS FOR THE INFORMATION CENTER. THIS ISSUE STARTED OUT WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE LEFT OR RIGHT POSITION AND WITHIN A FEW WEEKS HAS BECAME A CONSTANT PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL.
