| May 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | While driving on the freeway at 70mph the car threw an charge error transmission error and the motor completely shut off. I was left coasting on a busy Bay area freeway with no running engine. I almost got rear ended twice while trying to pull off to the side of the road. I came to a stop and after 5min the car started up and no error lights showed up. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I have a brand new 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which is a hybrid and electric vehicle, which gives about 30 miles on a full battery charge. Since the electric mode distance is limited, the car has a hybrid and gas-only mode that runs on gas for when the battery needs a charge after 30 miles. The following problem occurred over 10 times in a 2 day timeframe: The vehicle gave a dashboard warning that stated "service charging system" and "service transmission" plus my Jeep app gave a message "a charge fault has occurred." Within 10 seconds, the entire car shut off. At the time, I was going 60 mph on a freeway. This nearly caused a 10-car pile up, but I was fortunately able to get onto the shoulder despite the entire electrical system shutting down. I was lucky, because after 10 seconds, the car came to an immediate stop and I could not move it at all. At the time, I had two-thirds full tank of gas. I was able to start the engine about 15 minutes later. Shortly thereafter, the same problem occurred again after about 5 minutes of driving. This sequence repeated itself over 10 times until I was able to get towed to a nearby dealership. I was advised that the battery needed to be charged and this problem would not occur. This is an unacceptable explanation, since this vehicle has a gas-only mode to account for the 30 mile electrical battery distance. The following day, I got a full charge, but the problem happened again on the freeway, this time with 20% battery remaining and a one-half tank of gas. I had to get towed for the second time in two days. This is a very dangerous problem. This car should be recalled. Someone could have died due to the car completely shutting off while on a freeway and coming to a total half after only 10 seconds. The Jeep 4xe online forum reports 10 separate episodes of the same problem. I have attached a pdf of the formum to prove this is a recurrent issue. I am certain that someone will suffer a fatality from this recurrent problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The backup camera does not work at different times. Local dealership said it was a common issue and should resolve itself in an hour. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | AIR BAGS,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while attempting to park the vehicle, the vehicle independently accelerated while the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the rear of a vehicle parked on the street. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 930. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | 930 |
| May 2021 | STEERING,WHEELS | Within a few days of purchasing the vehicle, I noticed that the vehicle moved dramatically to the right and to the left, and the steering mechanism of the vehicle was extremely loose. At 150 miles, I brought it in...the adjusted the steering and aligned the tires. I went on a three hour trip on the highway on April 18th, 2021, Sunday. I nearly crashed into a huge tractor trailer truck because the vehicle swung rapidly to the right and the steering mechanism was so loose, it would not respond sufficiently in time. In addition, the vehicle swings wildly with even mild wind. I managed within inches to swing the car away. I have now brought the vehicle back two more times to the dealership, and they deny any issue. I have provided videos with my spouse driving. My son also drove and found the same issue. The issue occurs both at speeds above 50...and at a speed of 15 miles. This steering column of this vehicle is defective and a true danger on the highway. The manufacturer refuses to take any responsibility in spite of ample knowledge and notice by consumers. Complaints about this issue are all over the internet. We have videos of the defect, which have been provided. I have tried to return the vehicle but they refuse. It has been in the shop 5 of 7 weeks of ownership. The dealership states the vehicle is to manufacturer specifications...this is a serious defect. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

A COUPLE OF TIMES IT FELT AS IF I WAS ABOUT TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE JEEP AT 65MPH. IMMEDIATELY I SLOWED DOWN BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS FREEWAY. JEEP PULLS TO THE RIGHT EVEN FROM THE LEFT LANE. YOU CAN SEE THE STEERING WHEEL TURN A FEW DEGREES TO THE RIGHT AS THE JEEP EMBLEM IS NOT CENTER ON.

| Apr 2021 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION | ' IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE OF MY 2 DOOR 2021 JEEP WRANGLER JL (ANNIVERSARY) THE REAR VIDEO CAMERA STOPPED WORKING AT START UP, AND CONTINUED TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE, DESPITE SOFTWARE REINSTALLS. ' TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND WITH JUST 2000 MILES ON IT, WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN I NOTICED THAT APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS AFTER I PUT ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD DIM SIGNIFICANTLY, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT AND DISTRACTING TO SEE THE SPEED AT WHICH I WAS DRIVING, OR THE CRUISE CONTROL. DIMMING MIGRATED QUICKLY AFTER THAT TO THE MONITOR WHICH BECAME HARD TO READ OR SEE. UCONNECT WAS ALSO NOT WORKING WITH IMAGES AND AUDIO BEING IN DISCERNABLE. ' NOT LONG AFTER THAT, I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ALSO INCREASING THE MPH ON ITS OWN WHILE IT WAS BEING SET. CLEARLY HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ' FIVE DAYS LATER GOING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 40-50MPH ON A HIGHWAY, THE JEEP SHIFTED INTO MANUAL AND I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I STOPPED THE CAR, SHUT IT OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON. THE CAR WAS STILL WORKING, BUT I WAS SCARED BY WHAT CLEARLY COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE-THREATENING CIRCUMSTANCE. ' AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DELIVERED TO ME IN THE GARAGE BY AN EMPLOYEE, IT STOPPED DRIVING IN FRONT OF MANY EMPLOYEES AND MYSELF. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE GOING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AND RAIN WAS POURING DOWN, AND THE CAR SLIPPED INTO MANUAL OR PARK, AND BECOMING UNDRIVABLE. ' THE CAR CLEARLY HAS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND MY DEALERSHIP SEEMS UNCONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CLIENTS. THE JEEP CONTINUES TO BE A CONCERN FOR ME, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM FOR JEEPS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,000 |

I HAVE NEVER USED MY AXLE LOCKERS ONCE. CAME ON AFTER RIDING UP A VERY SHORT DIRT HILL IN 4L AFTER SHIFTING BACK TO 4H THEN MY DASH BEGAN FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY SERVICE AXLE LOCKER SYSTEM ON AND OFF. HAD TO DRIVE IT HOME THIS WAY WITH THE ALERT FLASHING ON ANS OFF. GOT INTO DRIVEWAY AND DIFFERENTIAL TRIED TO LOCK ITSELF IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE BACKING AND FILLING INTO GARAGE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF DIFFERENTIAL LOCKS AT 70MPH ON FREEWAY OR GOING DOWN STEP WINDING ROAD UNEXPECTEDLY FEAR THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AT DEALER NOW. REPLACED REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. STILL BROKEN, THROWING CODES, DEALER TRYING OTHER THINGS. PLEASE KNOW NOT ISOLATED SITUATION. MANY WRANGLER OWNERS FROM 2018 TO 2021 POSTING THIS UP. ACCORDING TO JL WRANGLER FORUM, FCA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX YET. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A $55K VEHICLE IN FIRST 90 DAYS! SEVERAL OWNERS ON 3RD AND 4TH AXLE REPLACEMENTS.

HTTPS://WWW.JLWRANGLERFORUMS.COM/FORUM/THREADS/'SERVICE-AXLE-LOCKER-SYSTEM'-LIGHT-ON.13241/PAGE-30#POST-1420979 I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS AS IT APPEARS FROM THE FORUM FCA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX THIS IS APPEARING ON SEVERAL JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON'S BUT NO ONE HAS REPORTED IT HERE THAT I CAN FIND. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,097 |
| Mar 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | MY 2021 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA'S BACK UP CAMERA FAILED WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS AS THEY COULDNT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AS THE BACK UP CAMERA WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. I PROVED PICTURES OF THE BLANK SCREEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY JEEP WONT REPLACE ANYTHING UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE. ON SATURDAY MARCH 27TH WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE THE NEW BACK UP CAMERA FAILED TO WORK AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT I AM READING ON JEEP FORUMS, YET THE DEALERS CAN NEVER RECREATE THE ISSUE, AND WHEN THEY SAY THEY FIXED SOMETHING IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE BACK UP CAMERA SHOULD WORK 100% OF THE TIME, NOT INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A STANDARD FEATURE ON ALL NEW CARS IN THE USA. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE A RELIABLE BACK UP CAMERA. ON TOP OF THIS ISSUE MY SIRIUS XM IS INTERMITTENT AS WELL SKIPPING THE SOUND ABOUT EVERY 10 SECONDS OR SO. THESE ISSUES OCCUR WHEN MOVING ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,600 |
| Mar 2021 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | WHILE TOWING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON (TRANSFER CASE IN NEUTRAL AND TRANSMISSION IN 1ST GEAR) 4 WHEELS DOWN THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION UNDER THE JEEP WITH A BALL OF FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS INCAPACITATED. THERE WAS NOT ANY SMOKE, NOISE OR INDICATIONS OF AN ISSUE BEFORE AND UP TO THE EXPLOSION. THIS HAPPENED ON A STRAIGHT SMOOTH 4 LANE ROAD AT 40 MPH. | Crash: No Fire: Yes | 5,600 |
| Mar 2021 | AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS | A CAR CAME INTO MY SON'S LANE. TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION, HE VEERED RIGHT AND WENT HEAD ON WITH A GUARDRAIL. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK. HE WAS ON HWY 1090. WE FIND OUT TOMORROW IF THE JEEP WILL BE TOTALED BECAUSE IT HAS FRAME DAMAGE. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT HAS THE JEEP RIGHT NOW COULD NOT TELL US WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOTHING LOCK.*DT*JB*JB | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | 3,000 |
| Mar 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,WHEELS,ENGINE | OUR 2021 JEEP STARTED SMOKING IN THE ENGINE AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES BURST INTO FLAMES. THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR / BURNED AND FIRE STATIONS HAD TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. MY DAUGHTER, DOGS AND I WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE CAR BUT VERY SCARY. | Crash: No Fire: Yes | Unknown |
| Mar 2021 | STEERING | BRAND NEW AND FROM THE START THE STEERING WANDERS AND THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING. IT'S A NONSTOP BATTLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND IT GETS MORE DANGEROUS WITH THE SPEED INCREASES. THE WANDERING WITH THE VERY LOOSE STEERING CAUSES OVER STEERING ISSUES WHICH HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CROSS THE CENTER LINE AND GO ONTO THE ROAD'S SHOULDER. TURNING HAS SERIOUS CONTROL ISSUES WITH CONSTANT STEERING ADJUSTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE TURN SO THE VEHICLE IS NOT TRACKING A STRAIGHT LINE THROUGH THE TURN. THIS IS ON CITY AND COUNTRY ROADS, STRAIGHT AWAY AND TURNING THROUGHOUT CORNERS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 40 |
| Mar 2021 | STEERING,SUSPENSION,WHEELS | I PURCHASED THIS 2021 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2020. IT IS A TOTALLY STOCK VEHICLE WITH NO MODIFICATIONS OF ANY SORT. IT HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD AT ALL, AND ONLY ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, AND INTERSTATES, NO ACCIDENTS. WHILE DRIVING ON A NEARBY INTERSTATE IN JANUARY OF 2021, AT ABOUT 77 MPH, A MINOR SEAM IN THE ROAD SENT MY VEHICLE INTO WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS 'DEATH WOBBLE' MODE. HAD ABOUT 4,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON A FIVE HOUR ROAD TRIP, IT HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES ON THAT TRIP ALONE.I VIDEOED THE CAR IN VIOLENT WOBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND RETURNED THE CAR FOR ANOTHER DAY OF SERVICE. THE LOCAL JEEP SERVICE CENTER ORDERED A 'STEERING DAMPER' ASSEMBLY AS A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THE 2021 WRANGLERS COME WITH THAT STEERING DAMPER AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT STARTING THIS YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PART IS ON AN EXTENDED BACK-ORDER, I AM TOLD, AND WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR SOME TIME. IN THE MEANTIME, THEY DID A 'ROAD-FORCE' WHEEL AND TIRE BALANCE AS AN INTERIM FIX. ONE TIRE WAS AT 24 LBS, ONE WAS AT 17 LBS, AND THE OTHER TWO WERE AT 10 LBS AND 1 LBS. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS HAD FEWER, MOMENTARY, WOBBLES OF MUCH SHORTER DURATION, AND HAS RECOVERED QUICKLY MORE IT DOES WOBBLE BRIEFLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS NOW AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING, I CAN FEEL THE SUPPRESSED WOBBLES IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND GAS PEDAL AND AM CONCERNED FOR SAFETY AND CONTINUED WEAR AND DAMAGE TO FRONT SUSPENSION AND TIRES, AND THE FREQUENCY OF HAVING TO DO COSTLY ROAD FORCE BALANCING ON THE TIRES. I LOVE THE JEEP BUT I'VE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR AT THIS POINT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO UPLOAD SOME VIDEO OF ONE OF MY CARS DEATH WOBBLES, SHOWING ITS INTENSITY, AND REFUSAL TO SUBSIDE UNTIL DECELERATED TO ABOUT 55 MPH. THE VIDEO EXCEEDS THE SPACE ALLOWED FOR THIS DOCUMENT, SO YOU'D HAVE TO CONTACT ME TO ARRANGE ANOTHER WAY TO VIEW IT IF NECESSARY. | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,000 |
| Mar 2021 | STEERING | BRAND NEW VEHICLE WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS LOW SPEEDS. REQUIRES CONSTANT "ARMS/HANDS" PRESSURE TO KEEP VEHICLE TRACKING STRAIGHT. VEHICLES PULLS TO THE RIGHT DESPITE HAVING UNDERGONE 3 ALIGNMENTS NOW AT 3K MILES. 2021 WRANGLER HAS THE UPGRADED STEERING BOX AND WHILE NO DEAD SPOTS ON THE WHEEL, THE RIGHT PULL IS ANNOYING. PLENTY OF UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS. THE FIX WHICH SEEMS TO BE KNOWN AMONSGT JEEP OWNERS IS RELATED TO LONGER LOWER CONTROL ARMS IN ORDER TO INCREASE CASTER SO THE VEHICLE TRACK STRAIGHT. | Crash: No Fire: No | 50 |
| Feb 2021 | STEERING | WHEN DRIVING SLOW OR FAST THE CAR WANDERS AND THERE IS 'PLAY' IN THE STEERING WHEEL. DIFFICULT TO STAY STRAIGHT AND IN ONE LANE WITHOUT CONSTANTLY ADJUSTING. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR ON CENTER OF WINDSHIELD LEAVING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDSHIELD FROSTED AND FOGGY AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER. | Crash: No Fire: No | 3,000 |
| Feb 2021 | STEERING | A BUNCH OF CODES FLASHED ON MY DASH SCREEN AND THEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET I HAD JUST TURNED AND WAS GOING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 30 MPH. I HAD TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND TURNED CAR OFF AND ON AND THEN I REGAINED STEERING. ALTHOUGH THE STEERING WAS BACK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I WAS OUT OF TOWN SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE 2HRS BACK HOME. THEY CHECKED IT SAID A BUNCH OF CODES CAME UP BUT THEY CLEARED THEM AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY TEST DROVE IT AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY SUMMED IT UP AS A COMPUTER GLITCH, AND SAID IT WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AND SHOULD BE FINE DRIVING BACK HOME. IT WAS FINE THE REST OF THAT DAY. THE NEXT DAY AS I'M DRIVING IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND DOES ANOTHER 4 TIMES THAT DAY. 3 DRIVING THRU CROWDED CITY STREETS ONCE I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 15 MPH, NEXT I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND THEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE 4TH TIME THAT DAY I WAS ON THE FREEWAY HEADING BACK HOME. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. SAME AS THE FIRST INCIDENT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN TO REGAIN CONTROL OF STEERING. AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,232 |
| Feb 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | THE BACKUP CAMERA ON MY 2021 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON JUST STOPPED WORKING. I GOT IN, STARTED THE CAR AS USUAL, WENT TO BACK UP AND THE SCREEN IS COMPLETELY BLACK. I'VE GONE 3 DIFFERENT PLACES TODAY AND THE CAMERA HAS NOT WORKED ALL DAY. I LITERALLY BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW 3 WEEKS AGO. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. SOMEONE WILL WRECK WHEN THIS GOES OUT ON THEM. IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WHEN I GOOGLE THE ISSUE! | Crash: No Fire: No | 300 |
| Feb 2021 | POWER TRAIN | ONLY 500 MILES ON VEHICLE, WENT OFF-ROADING FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WITHIN A SHORT TIME AFTER CLIMBING A STEEP HILL, SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER VEHICLE AND CLUTCH WENT TO FLOOR AND STAYED. TURNED JEEP OFF, PUMPED CLUTCH WHICH SEEMED FINE BUT SMOKE CONTINUED FOR A MINUTE. WENT UNDER VEHICLE AFTER SMOKE STOPPED AND SAW BURNT FIBERS COMING OUT FROM TRANSMISSION CASE. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND NO MOVEMENT. TOWED JEEP OUT TO HOME. JEEP ROADSIDE TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. APPARENTLY THE CLUTCH SWITCH PLATE OVERHEATED, FLASHED, AND COMPLETELY BURNED AWAY! THERE'S A RECALL I WAS UNAWARE OF BUT NOW 500 MILES ON BRAND NEW JEEP AND CLUTCH PLATE, PRESSURE PLATE, ETC MUST BE REPLACED. JEEP IS AT TATE BRANCH JEEP IN CARLSBAD NM WHERE THEY CAN GIVE DETAILS ON DAMAGE. | Crash: No Fire: Yes | 526 |
| Feb 2021 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I WAS DRIVING IN FOG WITH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES OF APPROXIMATELY 9 DEGREES, WINDSHIELD ICED OVER APPROXIMATELY 2/3RDS FROM THE OUTSIDE IN WITH ONLY THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR, FRONT DEFROSTER ONLY WAS ON MAXIMUM, WITH NO AIR FLOW TO ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT WOULD NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER NOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. PUT HAND ABOVE DEFROST VENTS AND WAS ONLY BLOWING IN THE MIDDLE, NO OBSTRUCTION. WE CONTACTED OUR JEEP DEALER AND TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT, THEY SUBMITTED STARS CASE #101853238 AND TOLD US THAT NO ISSUES OF THIS TYPE HAD BEEN REPORTED TO THEM FROM JEEP. WE SEARCHED ON YOUTUBE HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/PLKTXSKZNI4 AND FOUND THIS SAME ISSUE ADDRESSED EXCEPT ON A 2021 JEEP GLADIATOR (JEEP PICKUP). WHEN IT HAPPENED TO US, WE DID NOT TAKE PICTURES AS WE WERE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING TO OUR DESTINATION AND THEN HOME. | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,200 |
| Feb 2021 | POWER TRAIN | THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THIS JEEP MODEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2021, TO GET IT FIX AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THE DEALER (PLANET DODGE IN MIAMI, FL) INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL FCA GROUP (FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILE -- OWNERS OF JEEP), WHICH I DID IN FRONT OF THEM, AND NO FIXING OR RESOLUTION. PART OF THE RECALL STATES HEATED DEBRIS EXPELLED FROM THE TRANSMISSION CASE MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN THE VEHICLE, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO A FIRE. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
