VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING ON A COLD NIGHT WITH NO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, MY WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY CRACKED. I HAD THE DEFROSTER ON. I'VE READ ABOUT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS. IT'S AN ISSUE AND THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

ENGINE
THE OIL FILTER HOUSING/COOLING ASSEMBLY IS PLASTIC, CHEAP, AND LOCATED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ENGINE. MINE, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER JEEPS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAVE THEM FAIL WELL UNDER 30,000 MILES. THIS CAUSES MASSIVE ENGINE OIL LOSS WHICH IN TURN CAUSES ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS IS A HUGE RIP OFF CONSIDERING THE PART COSTS ~$500. CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY ON ALL JEEPS.

HEATER CORE CLOGGED. HEATER BLOWS WARM ON PASSENGER SIDE, WORKING ACROSS DASH HEAT HETS COLDER AS IT COMES ACROSS TO DRIVERS SIDE, DRIVER SIDE BLOWS EXTREMELY COLD. DEFROST BLOWS COLD. FROM WHAT I'VE READ IN JEEP FORUMS THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. HEATER CORE IS GETTING CLOGGED AND AFFECTING THE HEAT OUTPUT OF JEEP. OUR JEEP HAS ROUGHLY 112000 MILES ON AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE JEEP HAS HAD AROUND 50000 MILES. JEEP WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE WE WERE OVER 36000 MILES. I HAVE BLEW OUT HEATER CORE FLUSHING IT. THAT HELPS ALITTLE BIT BUT HEAT IS STILL NO WERE AS HOT AS IT SHOULD BE. REPLACING HEATER CORE INVOLVES PULLING ENTIRE DASH OUT OR CUTTING DASH SUPPORTS TO REMOVE HEATER CORE TO REPLACE JUST TO HAVE NEW HEATER CORE CLOG AGAIN. SOMETHING IN SYSTEM IS CAUSING HEATER CORES IN THESE JEEPS TO CLOGG ULTIMATELY CAUSING HEAT AND DEFROST NOT TO WORK AND BLOW COLD AIR.

SPENT EXTRA MONEY FOR THE HARD TOP THINKING IT WAS BETTER THAT THE CANVASS TOP, REALLY DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT LEAKS WATER INTO THE INTERIOR. CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE ELECTRONICS AND OVERALL INTEGRITY OF THE INTERIOR OF THIS VEHICLE!!

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RANGING FROM 50-65 MPH, IF I TAKE A TURN THAT HAS A BUMP OR AM ON A STRAIGHTAWAY AND HIT A BUMP THE ENTIRE CAR STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS LEFT AND RIGHT AND IT FEEL LIKE THE FRONT TIRES ARE FISHTAILING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS VIOLENT OSCILLATION IS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN TO UNDER 45 MPH WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DO ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TALKED WITH A COUPLE OF MECHANICS AND A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SO I DO NOT RECALL WHEN IT LAST HAPPENED. THEREFORE, I AM CHOOSING TODAY'S DATE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE FORM. I AM ALSO UNSURE OF THE EXACT MILEAGE ON MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2013. I ENTERED THE APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF MILES ON THE CAR WHEN I REMEMBER THE DEATH WOBBLE FIRST OCCURRING.
