| Exterior Lighting problems |
I purchased this 2020 Jeep Wrangler from suntoyota car dealership in holiday, FL on [xxx]. There have been several ongoing concerning safety issues with this vehicle and the car dealership over the past year since I purchased it. My vehicle has had immediate malfunctions and service visits upon purchase. On 12/31/24, the car went to the shop for broken visor (as is) as listed on service invoice- during this same visit I explained that turn signals lights were not functioning properly- was told that it was too much labor and they are aftermarket lights that the dealership cannot fix- dealership did not attempt to rectify the issue at this time. Broken visor/turn signal lights did not function properly upon purchase of the vehicle. In February, the car had what is known as the “death wobble” on major highways [xxx] and [xxx] in florida, which was an extremely dangerous experience for all passengers in the vehicle. Invoice from 2/27/25 reflects suspension concern in regards to “death wobble” that was rectified, but again highly unsafe, and vehicle is beginning to shake again at high speeds as of December 2025. Invoice from 10/19/25 highlights the turn signal malfunction once again (it was never fixed from previous visit after purchase of vehicle and continued over several months). Car was taken back to dealer. Received call on 11/11 stating it was ready, to receive another call on my way there stating another issue with lights arisen. Received call on 11/12 stating it’s ready again, service advisor not present, and all lights flickering severely worse. Spoke to executive director, dylan, who stated “[xxx] things happen” and walked away. Vehicle stayed at dealership. (invoice from 11/12 highlights the turn signal issue again. ). Vehicle was returned to me on 11/28/25, where lighting and turn signals appeared to work properly. As of December 2025, the turn signals have malfunctions again. When I tried to get in contact with the dealership they didn't call back. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of inform.
The instrument cluster has went completely out. There is a currently open recall for 2018 - 2024 Jeep Wranglers (recall #24v-652), but my VIN is not included. According to fmvss no. 571. 101 (controls and displays), you are required to remedy this situation as it is now a safety and hazard for the driver.
Gauge cluster flashes and continues to spaz out impeding the use of the instrument controls such as speedometer and other equipment on the gauge cluster. This part is currently recalled on some Jeeps. For some reason my 2020 Wrangler was not included and it should be.
Right after leaving work, the following message appear shifter error. Dash light up marking all type of errors whipers, gasoline, motor, etc. And the most scary part was no power steering at all. Then one second latter it totally shut down. Thanks gad! there where no cars behind me or next to me and I was able to pull over and tuns on my emergency lights. But I was about to go into the freeway only 2 blocks away from it. Just imagine! that happening at 65 or 70 miles in rush hour. I consider that my life was in danger with this issue, not only mine everyone driving around me. What if it happens again? I am truly afraid to drive my Jeep in a freeway or even travel.
I reported the instrument panel failure to Jeep cares and my vehicle was not listed in the recall. I completed this repair 1/28/2022. I am concerned that all the Jeeps affected were not included in the recall. I am not sure how fast I was going because there were no lights on the dash to allow me to see the mph. Mileage was 52423. The instrument panel went dark several minutes while I was driving down the highway. It required replacement. [xxx] was notified on [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
I was driving home with my 3 kids in the car. Age 13,10,2 we were almost home and my daughter shouted from the back seat… “ there’s a fire . . There’s a fire” my self and my 13 year old son proceeded to look outside the car for a fire. We both kept saying where? my daughter then said “ right there look up” we both looked and the passenger side visor was in flames where it connects to the roof of the Jeep. My son tried to blow it out but it sparked up 2 more times before he held the visor up before the fire went out completely. This was absolutely terrifying. I’m so worried my car is going to catch on fire while I am sleeping tonight. Please help.
I stopped to fill up with gas and when I started my Jeep all my instruments are dead. No speedometer no tachometer no fuel no temp. Everything else works fine. I checked all fuses and they are good. I also replaced my auxiliary battery and still everything is dead.
My Jeep Wrangler required the instrument panel to be replaced due to failure. The entire console lighting went dark while I was driving. I had not information on my speed and it made me take my eyes off the road when I tried to figure out what happened I did not have an accident but my fear Jeep is not issuing a recall to all the vehicles affected. Notified them of the safety concern by in January of 2022. My vehicle was not issued in the recall and they would not cover the repair even though it was the instrument panel failure on my repair bill. I was unable to look at the mph. Submitted complaint to Jeep of instrument panel failure.
When driving at below freezing temperatures at night during snow storms, snow/ice will accumulate on and completely cover the headlight lenses rendering the headlights unusable. This is a problem primarily for vehicles with led headlights. The problem happens on both the primary headlights and the fog lights.
