Many problems with this vehicle. Water pump leaked - fixed under warranty, gas tank seal leaked - fixed under warranty, seats ripped - fixed under warranty, suction cup marks on window - fixed under warranty, front stabilizer shock leaked - fixed under warranty, rear window seal leaked - repaired under warranty two times and still leaks, instrument panel fails - out of warranty not repaired, radiator failed - out of warranty fixed at my cost, stabilizer arm failed both sides twice - fixed under warranty once and the out of warranty fixed at my cost, exhaust manifold failed - out of warranty - fixed at my cost, clutch fork failed - out of warranty fixed at my cost, leak under the dash board passenger side - fixed under warranty. Of all the problems above. . . Loss of instrument panel needs to be fixed by the manufacturer regardless of in or out of warranty. Loss of gauges is a driving distraction and can result in an accident. Jeep needs to address this manufacturing defect as long as this vehicle is on the road.
Consumer experiencing ongoing problems with varous parts: 1. Cracked intake manifold; 2. Muffler failed/ replaced;, 3. Water leaking through front windshield moulding; 4. Instrument lights would intermittently go out, and 5. Fuel gauge/sender would not register properly.
Each time I am on the highway and anywhere within any vicinity behind a truck and any size of debris is thrown up on my windshield. . . . It causes a break. Each time it has broken. . . . This size of rock or debris has been hardly visible to the eye. The very last time was a tiny piece of asphalt and it left the biggest break of all. There is obviously some type of default in the windshield for it to break so easily. I am curious as if there are any other individuals having the same problems. I have spoken with many individuals with Jeeps and none have expierenced this type of difficulty.
Rear window failed.
Seal on windshield or cowl leaks water. Repairs have been made but continues to leak.
