FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Fuel was spilling out underneath vehicle every time I filled up. The issue was that the plastic housing where the fuel filler tube connects to the gas tank hardened and deteriorated to a point where it begins to leak. That plastic appears not to be ethanol resistant. Indications a leak will or is occurring: P0456 code or fuel dripping down under vehicle or smell of fuel.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Valve stem failure. Low tire pressure light came on, and tire immediately went flat while driving at 55-60 mph. After tire was changed, went to tire shop where they said valve stem was either blown out or sucked in, and 2 more were ready to fail, so replaced all 4. I didn’t quite understand all, but seemed to have something to do with the tire pressure sensor, or parts of it being worn.

I'VE CHANGED BOTH LIGHT BULBS IN WHICH WORKED AND THEN WENT OUT WITHIN 20 MINS AGAI AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN I CHANGED THE 30AMP/RELAY. THEN I CHANGED THE DIMMER SWITCH. ALL OF THIS DID NOT WORK. THEN THE DEALER CHANGED THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS LOCATED ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT GOING OUT BUT WORKING WHEN I SHIMMY THE CORD OF CONDUCTOR. BUT LIKE IT DID PREVIOUSLY IT'S NOW NOT JUST THE PASSENGER LIGHT AS BOTH LIGHTS ARE AGAIN NOT WORKING. AND THEY ARE STARTING TO FLICKER THEN JUST GOES OUT ALTOGETHER TO WHERE NOW THE SHIMMY IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE. NOW I'VE DONE ALL I CAN DO ON THE ELECTRICAL REALM BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVERYTHING I'VE ATTEMPTED IS JUST TEMPORARY OR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHT DOESN'T WORK AND THE BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED. APPARENTLY, SINCE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM IN VARIOUS FORUMS; THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE CONTACT OVERHEATS AND MELTS INTO THE PLASTIC HOUSING, CAUSING A POTENTIAL FIRE ISSUE AND RESULTING IN NO CONTACT TO MAKE THE LIGHT BULB WORK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN DECEMBER 2020, I STOPPED AT THE POST OFFICE TO DROP A LETTER IN THE OUTDOOR BOX. I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW, DEPOSITED THE LETTER, AND DROVE OFF. AS I WAS RAISING MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND MY WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE CAR DOOR. IT WAS ANOTHER BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR. IT WAS 30 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I HAD OTHER ERRANDS TO RUN. I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND THE CITY WITH MY WINDOW HALF-WAY DOWN IN THE FREEZING WEATHER. JEEP HAD A RECALL IN 2010 STATING "WE ARE EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR WINDOW LIFT PLATE REPAIRS BECAUSE SOME VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED REPEAT CONCERNS WITH WINDOW COMPONENTS. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS WINDOW REGULATOR CONCERN AND HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT." WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL, I SUBMITTED RECEIPTS FOR THE THREE INCIDENTS I HAD WITH BROKEN WINDOW REGULATORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER REIMBURSED ME MY FULL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES OF $708.28 ON JANUARY 24, 2011. NOW I NEED THEM TO PAY ME $461.50 FOR THE WINDOW REGULATOR THAT WAS REPLACED ON APRIL 14, 2021. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, AND MOST OF ALL, A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE DISTRACTION IT CAUSES TO A DRIVER. I RECENTLY READ THE FOLLOWING: DISTRACTED DRIVING IS A DEADLY PROBLEM'IT LED TO 3,142 DEATHS IN 2019, ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT STATISTICS FROM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA). CHRYSLER SHOULD EXTEND THE WINDOW REGULATOR RECALL ON JEEPS AND REIMBURSE ME $461.50 BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH AND MY SIX POUND BABY WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT, AND HIS WINDOW FELL IN DUE TO A BAD REGULATOR? THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR DISTRACTION TO ME AND A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY BABY. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A PARTS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.
