The contact owned a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while her husband was driving through an intersection at 40 mph, another driver ran a stop light and crashed into the front driver's side of the vehicle. The other driver's vehicle went underneath the contact's vehicle as the contact's back tires drove over the other driver's engine. The other driver admitted fault due to distracted driving. The contact stated that no air bags deployed inside the vehicle; however, the other vehicle did have the air bags deploy. The contact and her husband were seen by paramedics at the scene of the accident. The contact later sought treatment from her doctor, where an mri was performed, which showed that the contact had suffered a concussion. The mri also showed that the contact had suffered a traumatic brain injury, as white matter changes were found in her brain. In addition, the contact was informed that parts of her vertebrae were also damaged, which required surgery. The surgery involved a bone fusion of bone c5 to c6 and a disc replacement of bone c4 to c5. The contact mentioned she was a registered nurse for 25 years, and due to the severity of her injuries, she can no longer return to her profession. The contact's husband was also treated by his doctor for a dislocated right wrist. The injuries of the other driver were unknown if any; however her father, who was a police officer, picked her up from the scene of the crash. A police report was filed. As a result of the accident, the vehicle was totaled and was towed to an independent wrecking yard. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet been notified of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.
The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at 60 mph, the vehicle independently increased in speed. The contact stated that the vehicle hydroplaned and rolled over eight times. The contact stated that none of the air bags were deployed. In addition, the contact stated that the failure occurred while it was raining. The contact stated that his mother and his pets were passengers in the vehicle at the time. The contact sustained injuries were a dislocated left shoulder, broken left index finger, fractured right foot, a fractured rib, a head injury which caused migraine headaches. The contact's mother sustained injuries were a fractured arm, a head injury, injuries to both feet and knees and a chest injury which caused difficulty breathing. The contact and his mother received medical treatment at the scene of the crash. The contact stated that he and his passengers were transported to a nearby hotel.

The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. The vehicle was condemned a total loss by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

I was driving down a side street when I received several warning lights for service shifter, airbags, seatbelts as well as the engine and all gauges cutting in and out. Following that my power steering went out and I could barely steer the vehicle. I had to call roadside assistance to tow the vehicle. The following fault codes wers pulled via obdii: u0001, u0151, u0155, u017e, u0418, u1442. Each code related to a malfunction with "can bus c" or what the dealership referred to as a "star connector". After further research it is apparent that this part has continued to fail on many Jeep Wranglers dating back to 2018 and every report I have seen the person has stated the same issue of losing power steering. My Jeep is a 2023 and now needs this part replaced. Why hasn't there been a recall on these vehicles for this faulty part? why does Chrysler continue to use these faulty parts on current vehicles when they know of their failure rate? this is a serious safety issue and should have been addressed years ago. Something must be done before someone gets hurt or killed.
