SAME THING HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES TODAY. GOOGLE SHOWS SAME SYMPTOMS WITH ALL JEEPS AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES 2007 - PRESENT. ISSUE APPEARS TO BE FAULTY TIPM MODULE. CONTACTED DEALER AND CHRYSLER/JEEP. SAME ANSWER FROM BOTH, NO RECALL. SO I PAY TO GET IT FIXED, AND HOPE THE REPLACEMENT PART DOESN'T REAP OUT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS HAVE BOTH FAILED. METAL HOUSING HAS CORRODED AND FAILED. DRIVER SIDE MIRROR HAD VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING, WHEN EXAMINING THE MIRROR IT BROKE OFF (IN FALL OF 2016). PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON SECONDARY ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, NOTHING HIT THE MIRROR TO CAUSE IT TO FAIL. COULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER CAR AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.. FAILURE APPEARS TO BE CORROSION OF ALUMINUM STRUCTURE AND POSSIBLE STEEL POST THAT HOLDS THE MIRROR. THERE WAS A LOT OF WHITE CORROSION OR MINERAL BUILD UP ON THE REMAINING ALUMINUM. HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE NEW, USED PRIMARILY IN MASSACHUSETTS.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
1. HIT A BUMP GOING 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATE TO 25 MPH. SUPER DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY. THANKFULLY THIS WAS A CITY FREEWAY THAT HAD A SPEED LIMIT OF 55MPH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER, SAY ON AN INTERSTATE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 80MPH. 2. WHENEVER I FILL UP THE GAS ALWAYS OVERFLOW. SO EACH TIME NOW I HAVE TO SQUEEZE THE PUMP GENTLY AND HOLD IT FOR THE ENTIRE FILL UP. 3. THE REAR CALIPER STICKS SOMETIMES.

AIR BAGS
UNDERSTAND FROM THE JEEP WEB APP, FIAT CHRYSLER HAS PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL S43. BUT, I CANNOT GET A DEALER SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL SINCE FIAT CHRYSLER IS LIMITING DEALERS FROM ORDERING THE AVAILABLE PARTS. I MUST WAIT UNTIL THE DEALER USES THEIR INVENTORY BUT A NEW SHIPMENT CAN BE RECEIVED. AT THIS TIME ALL ARE MARKED FOR VEHICLES. SEEMS FIAT CHRYSLER DOE NOT THINK SAFETY IS A CONCERN AND MAY BE EVEN FIGHTING THE NHTSA ORDERED RECALL. IT'S HARD TO DETERMINE. GOTTEN ANSWERS FROM PARTS ARE STILL BEING MANUFACTORED TO IN THE WAREHOUSE WHAT A SHAME THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY IS HELD IN SUCH A LOW REGUARD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
GOT INTO THE JEEP, STARTED AND PLACED INTO REVERSE, SUDDENLY, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND RANDOMLY THE HORN STARTS GOING OFF, WIPER FLUID SHOOTING OUT AND THE WIPERS GOING LIKE CRAZY, AIR CONDITIONER NOT WORKING AND RADIO BLASTING AND GOING QUIET. . NOTHING YOU CAN DO WILL MAKE IT STOP, THIS WILL BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSSUE IF IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS MAKES IT A PROBLEM TO BE DRIVING THIS CAR, AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE WIPERS AND HORN WILL START GOING CRAZY. I HAVE READ MANY POSTS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL??? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE JEEP CONCEDE THIS IS A PROBLEM?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FIRST OF MANY TIMES HAPPENED ONE MORNING AS I WAS GETTING INTO VEHICLE. THE HORN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS . THE WIPERS SPRAYED ALL THE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I COULD NOT TURN THESE OFF. AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT CRANK FOR SOME TIME AND THE HORN NO LONGER WORKED. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY HORN AND REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING, HORN AND A FUSE. A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING, THE HORN, WIPERS AND LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND I COULD NOT TURN THESE OFF! EVEN AFTER REMOVING THE KEY, THE ENGINE AND ALL THE ABOVE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF! ONCE AGAIN, I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO SHUT THESE COMPONENTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE! THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW SAYING THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TIPM. BUT, IN THE MEANTIME, IS THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE? TODAY, I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD DOCUMENT THIS. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! IN THE MEANTIME.......I AM SOMEWHAT FEARFUL OF DRIVING MY JEEP FOR THE SIMPLE REASON OF THE UNKNOWN. NOT TO MENTION THE EMBARRASSMENT THAT THIS BRINGS WHEN STOPPED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND MY HORN AND WIPERS START BLARING UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS MUST BE STOPPED AND CHRYSLER SHOULD DECLARE A RECALL! PLEASE HELP MY JEEP IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I'M VERY SCARED OF DRIVING IT AS I'M SCARED OF THE UNKNOWN THAT'D IT STALL OR POSSIBLY GO CRAZY ON ME AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ROUGHLY ABOUT 18 TIMES IN THE SPAN OF 2 MONTHS
