2012 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER (JACK KEY MOTORS) WHO I CALLED 5 TIMES TO GET THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. I WAS EITHER TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE KIT BECAUSE THE DEALER WAS ONLY GIVEN SO MANY, OR THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK TO SET UP A TIME, AS WELL AS I WENT THERE AND WAITED 20 MIN FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER TO GO "SEE" IF HE HAD A KIT, BUT AFTER 20 MINUTES OF WAITING I LEFT.SO I CALLED ANOTHER DEALER 39 MILES FROM MY TOWN, THEY ARE GETTING ME RIGHT IN. I FIND IS UNEXCEPTIONABLY, AS I AM A SERVICE WRITER IN A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP.AS WELL PAID OVER 35,000 DOLLARS FOR A JEEP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V631000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 40MPH WHEN THE CLUTCH INADVERTENTLY WENT OUT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MIGHT BE A GREATER PROBLEM RELATED TO THE FLYWHEEL AND THE RELATED CLUTCH ASSEMBLY OF THESE FACTORY PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE. I ONLY USE THIS VEHICLE TO COMMUTE IN THE CITY AND MY DRIVING HABITS ARE MILD. I DO NOT USE THIS VEHICLE OFF-ROAD AND I LIVE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA WHICH IS INCREDIBLY FLAT. THE CLUTCH AND SURROUNDING ASSEMBLY SHOULD NOT DEFECT AT 40K MILES.

2012 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE RECALL #14V-631 REPAIRS. *SMD THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER STATED THE PARTS HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED UP A HILL AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FOUR BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

WHEN IT RAINS OR I WASH THE 3 PC HARD TOP LEAKS HEAVY RAIN AND I HAVE 1-2 INCHES OF STANDING WATER IN FLOOR PANS I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE ON JEEP OWNER FORUMS AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WET MUSTY SMELL DURING HOT WEATHER. NOT GOOD AT ALL

I WAS OPERATING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED SPEED CONTROL. THE SPEED CONTROL FAILED TO TURN ON, SO I PRESSED THE BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES AND FOUND THAT IT WOULD NOT ACTIVATE (TURN ON AND SHOW "CRUISE" ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER). APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR LATER I PRESSED THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON SEVERAL MORE TIMES, AND IT EVENTUALLY SHOWED "CRUISE" IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. I WAS THEN ABLE TO SET THE SPEED CONTROL TO 70 MPH. AFTER TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET, I ATTEMPTED TO SHUT IT OFF UTILIZING THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED BUTTON. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DEACTIVATE BY PRESSING THE ON / OFF BUTTON. I WAS APPROACHING AN EXIT, AND WAS ABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY UTILIZING THE VEHICLES BRAKES, HOWEVER THE I COULD NOT SHUT THE POWER TO THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF UNTIL I SHUT THE JEEP IGNITION OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL POWER BUTTON NOW WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL ACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL POWER, SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE UTILIZING THE VEHICLE FEATURE DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONSISTENTLY SHUT IT OFF. I HAVE CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON JEEP FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE FORUMS HAVE STATED THAT MANY JEEPS HAVE DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRINGS.

AFTER DRIVING SOME NATIONAL FOREST GRAVEL ROADS IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS IN WASHINGTON STATE, MY AIR BAG DASH BOARD INDICATING LIGHT TURNED ON. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC EAMINATION OF THE CAR AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAR'S TIPM COMPUTER HAD FAILED INTERNALLY AND WAS NO LONGER SUPPLYING POWER TO THE AIRBAGS AND THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW TIPM AND QUOTED ME A PRICE OF ABOUT $1,400. I DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND DISCOVERED OTHER PEOPLE HAD ALSO EXPERIENCED EARLY TIPM COMPUTER FAILURES. FAILURE OF TIPM IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT DISABLES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AS HAS HAPPENED ON MY JEEP.

FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE AIR CONDITION AND DEFOGGER FOR THE WINSHIELD WENT OUT, WINSHIELD FOGGED UP COULD NOT SEE ON A RAINY FOGGY NIGHT WHEN I HAD TO OPEN ALL WINDOWS FOR AIR TO TAKE MIST OFF WINSHIELD.SECOND INCIDENT WHEN I PULLED INTO A SERVICE AREA TO CHECK THE A/C THE VEHICLE ABOVE WAS LOCKED IN PARK WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTED GOING IN REVERSE WITH ENGINE RUNNING ALMOST RUNNING OVER MY BROTHER WHO WAS IN REAR OF VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON, NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT FROM THE BEGINNING. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED ON THIS WEBSITE BY SOMEONE ELSE. I WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS BOTH CAME ON. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, ACCELERATION IS SIGNIFICANTLY COMPROMISED AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED SOME SENSORS AND TOLD ME IT WAS GOOD TO GO AND COME PICK IT UP. FIVE MINUTES AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER BOTH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK, THEY REPLACED SOME OTHER PARTS AND TOLD ME IT WAS READY. PICKED IT UP AND WITHIN TEN MINUTES BOTH LIGHTS WERE BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER, I WAITED THIS TIME, THEY SAID THOSE CODES WERE GONE ALTHOUGH A NEW CODE WAS NOW SHOWING UP. TOLD ME I COULD DRIVE IT AND THEY WOULD ORDER ME ANOTHER COMPUTER. YESTERDAY, WHILE SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE MOVIE THEATER A BELL STARTED GOING OFF, THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON, SWAY BAR LIGHT CAME ON, ALL OF THE GEAR POSITION LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE RAN UP TO ABOUT 6000 RPMS. I TURNED IT OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES IT RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I MADE IT HOME AND A WRECKER PICKED IT UP AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THEY THINK IT IS THIS TIME.
