2020 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

FRONT WINDSHIELD FAILS TO DEFROST DURING COLD DRIVING CONDITIONS, ALLOWING SNOW/ICE TO BUILD UP, DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE CLEARLY OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN PARKED WAITING TO TRY AND DEFROST SO I COULD SEE CLEARLY OUT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. DEFROSTER, ON HIGH FULL HEAT DOES NOT REACH THE LEFT AND RIGHT PORTIONS OF THE WINDSHIELD.

WHILE THE JEEP HAS DEFROST VENTS ACROSS THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD, IT ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR FROM THE CENTER, LEANING THE SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD TO COLLECT SNOW AND ICE, EVEN WITH DEFROST ON ITS HIGHEST SETTING.

MY JEEP IS ALL OVER THE ROAD, I CAN HARDLY KEEP IT BETWEEN THE LINES. IT ZIGS, IT ZAGS, THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A 30 DEGREE DEAD SPOT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THEY REPLACED MY STEERING BOX. THAT DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS JEEP IS DANGEROUS!

8 SPD TRANSMISSION CONTINUOUSLY UP AN DOWN SHIFTING AT HIGHWAY 5TH6TH7ENTH GEAR MAYBE 8TH AND CITY DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS IN ROUNDABOUTS . NO DECELERATION DOWNSHIFT UNTIL 2ND GEAR SLAM YOU INTO THE DASHBOARD .STAYS IN GEAR AT STOP HAVE PUT IN NEUTRAL . POORR FUEL MILEAGE 13-14MPG HIGHWAY 12-14MPG CITY. STEERING LOTS LANE WONDERING CONTINUOUSLY STEERING EASY-TO-CROSS LANES ON CURVES IF TIRE HITS GROVE IN ROAD MAY SHOOT IN OTHER LANE. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT'S NORMAL

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WANDERS EXCESSIVELY SIDE TO SIDE OFTEN EXCEEDING LANE LINES. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN LANE OF TRAVEL AT ANY SPEED OVER 30 MPH. THERE ARE INCHES OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATION. WHEN BRAKING HARD THE VEHICLE PULLS HARD TO ONE DIRECTION EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS A BRAND NEW 2020 WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY ORDERED A NEW STEERING GEARBOX.

VERY LOOSE STEERING FROM FACTORY, WITH ORIGINAL AE STEERING BOX. HAD THE RECENT TSB DONE THAT REPLACED WITH AA (BLACK) VERSION OF BOX AND STEERING IS STILL LOOSE, A LOT OF FREEPLAY AND VEHICLE WANDERS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40. STILL DANGEROUS.

AS I MOVED THE PASSENGER SEAT FORWARD TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE BACKSEAT I HEARD PLASTIC BREAK. THE SEAT WILL NOT GO BACK IN IT'S UP RIGHT AND LOCKED POSITION. THE SEAT MOVES FREELY FORWARD WHEN BREAKING AND BACKWARDS WHEN ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE SEAT BRACKET IN ORDER TO FIX IT. I CANNOT UTILIZE MY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT ANYBODY BECAUSE OF IT BEING A SAFETY RISK TO ANY PASSENGER AS WELL AS MYSELF DO TO THE SEAT NOT BEING ABLE TO PERFORM ACCURATE SIDE AIRBAG PROTECTION.

EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL WHICH RESULTS IN CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION TO STAY IN THE LANE. THERE IS AN UNRESPONSIVE DEAD ZONE OF SEVERAL INCHES ALLOWING THE JEEP TO WANDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS BOTH ON HIGHWAYS AND SECONDARY ROADS MAKING THE JEEP WRANGLER DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. WHILE FOLLOWING BEHIND THE JEEP WRANGLER ON A HIGHWAY, IT APPEARS AS IF THE DRIVER IS EITHER DISTRACTED OR INTOXICATED AS THE JEEP WANDERS IN AND SOMETIMES OUT OF THE LANE MAKING IT A HAZARD.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 30 OCTOBER 2020. I DROVE FOR 38 MILES TOTAL. ON NOVEMBER 1ST AT APPROXIMATELY 02|:30 A.M. THE VEHICLE CAUGHT AFTER BEING PARKED FOR MORE THAN 15 HOURS. TOTAL MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE 131 MILES.

THE VEHICLE "WANDERS" IN ITS LANE. DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ABOVE APPROX. 30 MPH. REQUIRES FULL ATTENTION TO STAY IN LANE, HIGHER SPEED HIGHWAY CORNER ARE EXHAUSTING & FEELS DANGEROUS.
