2012 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

VEHICLE HAS NO HEAT ON DRIVER SIDE VENT AND FLOOR VENTS, COLD AIR COMES OUT AS IF THE A/C IS ON. AS TIME HAS PASSED COOL AIR ON FRONT WINDOW DEFROSTER AS WELL AS CENTER AND PASSENGER VENTS. VEHICLE IS WARMED UP WHEN TRYING TO TURN HEAT ON WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. ONLINE JEEP FORUMS LIST THIS AS A PROBLEM TO JEEP WRANGLERS. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DEFROST WINDOWS FOR VISIBILITY, AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. VEHICLE IS ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED TO 90 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

THE (RHD) VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL (SKID) LIGHT COME ON REGULARLY WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON DRY ROADS AND WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SLOW SPEED. WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MPH, IT TAKES A WHILE TO GAIN SPEED AND IF YOU LET OFF GAS IT JERKS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING A STANDARD TRANSMISSION. I RECENTLY HAD THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPLACED COSTING MYSELF OVER $600 AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I HAVE MADE A STOP AT A STOP SIGN BEFORE AND THIS JEEP DIED AND STARTED RIGHT BACK. OCCASIONALLY THE GASCAP LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN GOES AWAY. ANOTHER STRANGE THING THAT HAPPENS A LOT IS THE TEMPERATURE ON DASH IS SET TO FAHRENHEIT, BUT OFTEN I HAVE TO CHANGE IT BACK BECAUSE I WILL LOOK AND ITS SHOWING CELSIUS. THE MOST RECENT THING THAT HAPPENED SCARED EVEN MY CHILDREN. I HAD JUST TOOK OFF AT A 4-WAY INTERSECTION ON HIGHWAY AND WHILE GAINING SPEED WITH NO LIGHTS ON, I REACHED ABOUT 40 MPH AND IT JUST JERKED AS HARD AS IT COULD AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON CAUSING US TO ALMOST GET RUN OVER BY THE PEOPLE BEHIND US GAINING SPEED BECAUSE WE WERE BEING SLOWED DOWN BY THIS EVENT. THIS IS BY FAR THE STRANGEST VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED, SOMETIMES THERE ARE NO LIGHTS, SOMETIMES JUST CHECK ENGINE OR GASCAP LIGHT IS ON, AND SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GONNA GET ON ANY GIVEN DAY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 6TH TIME BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE OR HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. *TR

ENGINE BRAKES AND VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN MOMENTARILY FOR ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS THEN RECOVERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6-7 TIMES. AT LEAST ONE OF THESE TIMES THE SKID WARNING COMES UP BUT THIS HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY IN DRY CONDITIONS TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE NO BRAKES WERE APPLIED BY DRIVER. *TR

VEHICLE BUILT JUNE 2012 RHD POSTAL VEHICLE AND CLOCK SPRING IS GONE. THUS AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND CONSTANT CHIMES. VEHICLE USED TO DELIVER MAIL. SAFETY CONCERN AS WITH THIS CLOCK SPRING GOING ON AND OFF AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND HAS RECALL OF RHD VEHICLES BUILT ONLY TIL OCTOBER 11, 2011 NUMBER RECALL IS M31!!! SAME PART AS WAS USED PRIOR TO OCT,11, 2012 !! WHAT GIVES THEY SHOULD REPLACE ALL UNTIL THEY CHANGE PART DESIGN. *TR

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS A USED CAR. THE FUEL OVERFLOW VALVE DOES NOT WORK CAUSING GAS TO SPILL OUT ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND FIRE HAZARD. THE JEEP INTERNET FORUMS ARE FULL OF POSTINGS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH SEVERAL WRANGLER MODELS AND YEARS AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO REPLACE THE FILLER TUBE CONTAINING THE CHECK VALVE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOR FREE. *TR

WHEN FILLING IT UP WITH GAS THE NOZZLE WHICH STOP AFTER IT GET FULL, BUT THEN THE GAS FROM THE JEEP GUSHES OUT OF FILLER TUBE ALMOST A GALLON GOES ON JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIG BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CLUTCH EMITTED SMOKE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH BURNED OUT AND REPLACED THE UNIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

WHEN ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, AFTER THE INITIAL PUMP SHUTOFF WHEN REMOVING THE PUMP FROM THE FUEL INLET, THE GASOLINE COME BACK OUT UNDER PRESSURE AND SOAKS THE OPERATOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY SINCE THE INITIAL EPISODE. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHETHER THE FUEL IS PUMPED SLOWLY OR FAST. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. NO IMMEDIATE CAUSE HAS BEEN FOUND. *TR
