POWER TRAIN
JEEP WRANGLER'S MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE A REVERSE LOCKOUT AND POP'S OUT OF REVERSE ROUTINELY WHEN POWER IS APPLIED OR YOU PUMP THE CLUTCH AFTER ALREADY SUCCESSFULLY ENTERING REVERSE. THE VEHICLE OPERATOR MUST MANUALLY HOLD THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER IN THE REVERSE POSITION TO MAINTAIN REVERSE. THIS HAS MANIFESTED AT AROUND THE 500 MILE MARK AND PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED MY CURRENT ODOMETER READING IS 1656. ADDITIONALLY THE LACK OF A REVERSE LOCKOUT OR SPECIAL PROCEDURE TO ENTER REVERSE IS MISSING MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO MISTAKENLY GRIND THE REVERSE GEARS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM 5TH TO 6TH GEAR.

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, I'LL HEAR A SINGLE AUDIBLE 'DING' AND THEN SEE THE AIRBAG AND ESP LIGHT ILLUMINATE ON DASH ALONG WITH THE SPEED ODOMETER DROP FROM THE SPEED TRAVELING TO 0 BEFORE NORMAL OPERATION. THIS HAPPENS MUCH MORE OFTEN WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IN ENGAGED. IT HAPPENED 5/14/2017 WHILE TRAVELING INTERSTATE 65 TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO CANCEL CRUISE CONTROL, I ACTUALLY HAD TO TURN IF OFF TO STOP THE DINGING AND FLASHING OF THE AIRBAG AND ESP LIGHT. I HAD TO FINISH THE LAST 2.5 HOURS OF INTERSTATE TRAVEL WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE GAS PEDAL INSIDE THE VEHICLE IS VERY LOW, UNUSUALLY LOWER THAN THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO REACH. THE SEAT HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO IT'S MAX AND IT IS STRAINING TO TRY AND REACH THE GAS PEDAL WHILE DRIVING, IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE, FOR A LEG CRAMP ALREADY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING TO ACCELERATE, AND I AM SCARED THAT LATER I WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BY STRAINING SO MUCH. I JUST CANNOT SEEM TO REACH THE GAS PEDAL COMFORTABLY, AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE DEALING WITH THIS AND NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE A NICE DRIVING EXPERIENCE THAT DOES NOT CAUSE ME TO STRAIN AND STRETCH ABNORMALLY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS MODEL YEAR WRANGLER IS FITTED WITH LED HEADLIGHTS. ON 1/26/17 AND 2/7/2017 THEY HAVE FROZEN OVER DURING MISTY OR FOGGY WEATHER IN MINNESOTA. BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 6:30AM, BEFORE THE SUN CAME UP. THE FIRST OCCASION THE TEMP WAS 29, NEXT TIME IT WAS 31. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK VERY WELL MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGER TO ME AND THOSE AROUND ME AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH A DEALER AND JEEPCARES ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. HIGH QUALITY AFTERMARKET LED HEADLIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE WITH OR WITHOUT AN AUTOMATIC HEATER ELEMENT TO PREVENT THEM FROM ICING OVER. TRUCKLITE IS ONE BRAND THAT OFFERS THEM.
