SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER I NOTICED MY ROOF LEAKING. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET IT FIXED IT STILL LEAKS RESULTING IN MOLD BUILDUP & FOWL ODOR. MY ENGINE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER EXPECTED OF A NEW JEEP. WHEN I GET ON THE HIGHWAY MY RPM WILL RUN HIGH AND IT TAKES QUITE A WHILE TO GET UP TO SPEED. A COUPLE TIMES WHEN GOING OVER RIDGES OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD, MY WHEEL WILL VIBRATE VIOLENTLY & I HAVE VERY LIMITED CONTROL & MY BRAKES WILL NOT WORK APPROPRIATELY UNTIL THE SHAKING STOPS WHEN I SLOW. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS A STANDARD SHIFT WHEN I LET OUT ON CLUTCH THE ENGINE WILL STALL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT BECAUSE I WAS NOT LETTING OUT ON CLUTCH PROPERLY AND HAD TO GET USED TO DRIVING IT.MY BOY FRIEND WHO DRIVES A DIESEL TRUCK WITH A STANDARD EVERYDAY HAD THE INCIDENT HAPPEN TO HIM AND SUGGESTED WE TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE .WHICH THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE AND CONCLUDED NO PROBLEMS MANY TIMES BACK TO DEALERSHIP WITH NO LUCK NOW I'M OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS IT STALLS ALL THE TIME WHEN I SIT AND IDLE AT A RED LIGHT OR A CROSS ROAD AT A STOP SIGN WHEN I LET OUT ON CLUTCH IT STARTS ROLLING FINE WHEN CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED IT WILL NOT TAKE THE GAS THEN ENGINE WILL SPUTTER THEN DIE. CAN SOMEONE FROM YOUR AGENCY TEST MY JEEP PLEASE IT IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO GET INTO A WRECK. I LIVE IN MOBILE ALABAMA. *TR

WHENEVER I AM TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND AM PASSED FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION BY A LARGE SEMI, ALSO TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SPEED, THE HOOD ON MY WRANGLER LIFTS OFF ITS SEAT FROM THE GUST OF WIND CREATED BY THE SEMI. AFTER THE SEMI HAS PASSED, THE HOOD SETTLES BACK DOWN. THE HOOD LATCHES ARE MADE OF RUBBER AND ALLOW THE HOOD TO DO THIS. THIS CAN BE A LITTLE SCARY ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE BEING PASSED BY MULTIPLE TRUCKS. THE HOOD GOES UP, COMES BACK DOWN, AND THEN REPEATS THIS UNTIL ALL OF THE TRUCKS HAVE PASSED. COULD THE HOOD LATCHES FAIL AND ALLOW THE HOOD TO HIT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD? *TR
