ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT LEAKED INTO THE CABIN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOOT WELL BECAUSE OF THE DRAIN TUBES FOR THE SUNROOF. I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT THE VERY NEXT TIME IT RAINED IT WAS SOAKED AGAIN AND BY THEN I FOUND OUT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE. IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE A GOOD CONSUMER AND NOT MAKE ANY WAVES, BUT I DON'T WANT TO KEEP PAYING FOR A LEAKING VEHICLE, AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHAT HAPPENS IF I GO TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SLIP AND FALL, I HAVE FEET ANKLE PROBLEMS AS IT IS AND IT'S DETRIMENTAL TO MY HEALTH SHOULD THAT HAPPEN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
TAMARA RECALL THE JEEP WILL CUT OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL ALSO MAKE ATTEMPTS TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH AND BELOW. THE ESP LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON. ONCE ABLE TO GET THE JEEP STOPPED WITH OUT GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT IT WILL RESTART AND ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW 3 TIMES WITH IN 4 DAYS WITH IT CUTTING COMPLETELY OFF AND 5 TIMES TRYING TO WHILE DRIVING. THE 1ST TIME IT WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 50 MILES AND HOUR. THE 2ND TIME I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE GOING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HR. THE 3RD TIME I WAS DOING 35 MILES AN HR ON A BUSY STREET. THE TIMES THAT IT HAS ATTEMPTED TO SHUT OFF BUT DIDN'T I WAS GOING BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MILES AN HR. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR ANYONE TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE HAPPEN. IT CAN CAUSE ME TO HAVE ACCIDENT AND OR TO CAUSE A ACCIDENT. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HARM AND LOSS OF LIFE. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH OR AN ISSUE WITH THE MOTOR OR WIRING. SOMETHING IS WRONG. I SEE ON OTHER FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS JEEP FROM I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I AM IN FEAR FOR MYSELF AND KIDS AND OTHERS.

I CALLED LAST 8/9/18 TO BROUGHT THE ATTENTION ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE. I RECEIVED A RESPOND FROM NHTSA DATED 8/28/18. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM FROM MY REPORT. THERE IS ADDITIONAL PROBLEM THAT I JUST EXPERIENCED RECENTLY WHEN WE HAVE A SEVERE STORM HAPPENED LAST 8/10/18 THE SUN ROOF WAS LEAKING AND IT FLOODED THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR. I HAVE TO CLEAR THE WATER AND OPEN ALL THE DOORS TO LET IT DRY AND APPLIED ANTI MOLD DISENFECTANT TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH. ALSO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DISCONTINUED WORKING. THE SYSTEM MONITOR FAILED. DEALER WAS ASKING $ 800.00 TO FIX MONITOR SYSTEM. SOME OF THE ISSUES IN THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT BROUGHT TO THE DEALER DUE TO I HAVE NO FUNDS TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. NOT ALL PEOPLE HAVE A SUBSTANTIATE FUNDS ESPECIALLY I'M OUT OF JOB. I WAS NOT SURE IF I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE WE BOUGHT IT USE. WHEN WE BOUGHT IT THE MILEAGE WAS 125000 MILES. I'M NOT SURE THE HISTORY OF THIS VEHICLE. I SUGGEST THAT YOU MIGHT FIND THAT INFORMATION THROUGH THE DEALER. AS I RECOLLECT MY PAST COMPLAINTS WAS, WHILE DRIVING 40 MILES (MPH) THE SPEED SUDDENLY REDUCED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNING SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WOULD ERRONEOUSLY CHANGE POSITIONED WHOLE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION TO THIS BOTH SEAT BELT AT THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT WORKING SO PASSENGER CANNOT ACCESS IT WHILE TRAVELING. WHEN I TURNED ON THE HEATER NOR AIR-CONDITION THERE WAS A ROARING SOUND COMING FROM THE AIR-CONDITION VENT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WAS TURNED ON HIGH. SO OVER ALL THIS IS MY RESPOND FROM THE LETTER THAT YOU HAVE SEND DATE 8/28/18. IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTION IN REGARDS TO MY RESPOND FROM YOUR LETTER PLEASE FEEL FREE TO WRITE AT [XXX] OR MY CONTACT NUMBER [XXX]. MY EMAIL: [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE LATCH ON THE 2ND ROW PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT FELL APART AND IS UNUSABLE. THE LATCH ON THE 2ND ROW DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCEPT THE SEAT BELT AND IF IT DOES, WILL NOT RELEASE WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT FORCE MAKING IT ALSO UNUSABLE. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE NO SEAT BELTS IN THE 2ND ROW (EXCEPT FOR SMALL CENTER SEAT) BUT THIS IS ALSO CAUSING THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR TO COME ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LEAKING WATER THROUGH SIDE DRIVER HANDLE ALSO CARPETS SOAKED WHEN RAINS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING THROUGH THE YEARS. SAFETY ISSUE NOW I BELIEVE IS AFFECTING MY ELECTICAL IN DOOR PANEL. PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW WILL NOT WORK FROM DRIVERS SIDE.NOW LEAKING FROM LIGHT FIXTURE. WILL IT AFFECT ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL IN THE FUTURE? WHEN JEEP WAS NEW DOOR HINGE WAS REPLACED RUSTED OUT. NEED IT DONE AGAIN. THIS IS NOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE TO REPLACE HINGES. THE DOOR SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO CRACK IN HALF WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING. WOULDNT BE SUPRISED IF IT FELL OFF. ITS THE SAME SIDE AS THE LEAKS. IM PUTTING TODAYS DATE BECAUSE ITS ALL THE TIME. ALSO IVE READ THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE SUNROOF. BUT NOT VEHICLES BEFORE 2009? ALL RECALLS AND SUITS MATCH MY SITUATIONS BUT MY VIN # DOESNT COME UP?? NOT RIGHT AT ALL. THERE ARE SO MANY FLAWS IN THIS JEEP BUT WHAT IM COMPLAINING ABOUT IS SERIOUS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR AND BRONZED AND HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE VEINS RUNNING TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE MIRROR. I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY AT ALL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE JEEP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS DISCONTINUED AND NOT COVERED BY MY LIFETIME WARRANTY. THE DEALER AND BODY SHOPS HAVE TOLD ME THEY EXPERIENCED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. THE MIRROR HAS DEFROST AND ELECTRICAL MOVEMENT. I FEEL THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES. MY JEEP ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 69,500 MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHER THAN THIS MIRROR. THE SIDE MIRROR AND NOT BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY PHYSICALLY FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED. THE GLASS IS SMOOTH AND DOES REFLECT LIGHT, HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEE CLEARLY AT ALL FROM THE DRIVER SEAT. THE BRONZING DOES NOT ALLOW A REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR OF WHAT IS BESIDE ME.
