Bought a certified used vehicle from fairfield Dodge, crysler, Jeep in muncy , PA and in 4 months of owning this vehicle it had a recall on the transmission skid plate, engine light on due to broken sensor, in need of four brake rotors and brake pads. They stated that when they serviced the vehicle when they purchased it that the rotors were cut for the last time when they certified the vehicle for sale on the lot. And now four months later it needs $1,200. 00 worth of repairs. They state that the esim was broken by me or someone that was under the hood and that I would have to pay for the parts but not the labor the same with the brakes. I feel that this vehicle should have never been front line ready or even certified with all these issues, they are very, very poor representitives of your brand. I did not buy a Jeep to have major problems within four months of purchase. Then when I arrived the day of service they no longer had my recall part they put it on another vehicle that came in before mine. I live two hours away from the dealership and they failed to do there job.

While traveling down a highway at 55, I adjusted my position in the seat. The vehicle was in cruise control. I placed my feet on the carpet in front of the seat and pushed myself up and back into the seat to adjust my comfort and position. The carpet and carpet mat went up into the brake and accelerator pedals. The vehicle began to accelerate. With my feet I pulled the carpet and the mat back and out of the pedals. Stopped the vehicle and moved off to the side of the highway. I got out of the vehicle to see the cause. The driver side carpet is a separate piece of carpet with a mat attached by a hook that is part of the carpet. The carpet does not seem to have any backing. It looks spun. The driver position carpet is a separate piece that terminates about 6 to 10 inches under the driver¿s seat. The carpet has holes that allow the driver seat frame to attach to the floor of the vehicle without clamping the carpet down. There is no clamping force holding the carpet down under the driver seat. The carpet end under the seat is placed under the carpet coming from the back seat. I did not notice any attachment between the front and back carpet to hold the carpet in place. My action of push with my feet to adjust my comfort and position ripped the carpet on the outside edge by the driver side door and stretched the carpet on the right side, which let the left side of the carpet to move up into the break and accelerator pedals. I replaced carpet mat with the hard molded rubber mats. These mats seem to keep the carpet and mats from moving up into the pedals. The mats and carpet still shift forward and I have to adjust them when the carpet gets too far forward.

Really have 3 issues with this vehicle. The first is that the engine began to tick noticeably at around 5000 miles, sound definitely coming from #2 cylinder. Was initially told not to worry, noise was normal, oddly it did not tick previously. The short story is that it set a p0302 code at around 12,000 miles. Chrysler did not authorize a rental and the dealer was less than cordial. They put the thing back together and damaged an emissions valve, so more delay. Get the vehicle back, ran silent for 2,000 miles, the tick is back. Now at 19,000, no code yet, but I fear its coming. Problem #2, exhaust smell, get it nearly all the time, especially under load, no resolution yet. Problem #3, wet carpet on drivers side, no resolution yet. Oh, I forgot to mention, there is a fourth, I have just installed the third windshield in less than 6 months. Its not the quality of the glass, its the steep angle of the windshield, but that's what you get when you buy a Wrangler. I have been loyal to us brands, this is our 32nd new vehicle, won't by a Wrangler again.

We bought two 2011 Jeep Wranglers in July 2011. Starting in sept. We noticed when it rains the passenger side floor and seat would get completely soaked, took it to dealer and they said it was fixed. Now every time it rains both of them leak on passenger side. So I will be taking both of them back in to dealership. When I started researching this online I noticed that this is happening on several Jeep Wranglers, so why hasn't there been a recall involved with this??.

Jeep Wrangler se, 2001. The front windshield glass cracked three times in the same location (near the driverâ´s side windshield wiper). I think the stress crack is due to a defect in the front windshield structure of â¨possiblyâ¨all 2001 Jeep Wrangler se models.

Jeep leaks during any rain storm. Area between the door and frame of Jeep that is normally protected by weatherstripping does not control leaks. I have had the weatherstripping replaced and the leaks still continue. A good rain storm will leave 2 inches of water in my floorboards. Carpet is beginning to rot and mold will have to be removed.

My 2008 Jeep Wrangler unlimited x 4dr, has major water leaking issues. I got this Jeep used with 17,560miles on it. It runs great. However every time it rains, it leaks. My driver side seatbelt gets so wet that you can wring it out. The floor underneath the backseat gets soaked. I had to use a shampooer in the Jeep because I couldn't soak up all the water from the carpet, and it smelled like mildew. I pulled up the carpet to be sure that the plugs are in correctly, which they are, and noticed what looked like rust. The area where my seatbelt adjusts, and around the bolts for the seats is rusting. My Jeep only has 49,226 miles on it. My biggest complaint is that you have hundreds if not thousands of people complaining about the unlimited x 4dr leaking water. Why hasn't anything been done with this issue? I don't need my floor boards or seatbelt rusting out, in my opinion something needs done before something serious happens.

Additionally, there was water in the vehicle along the front and back floorboards. The carpet was constantly wet which caused her feet to slip off of the pedals while driving.

I have a 2008 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. There is a recall for 2007-2010 Wranglers for the fender flare rubbing on a brake tube causing failures. When I learned about the recall I checked my Jeep and sure enough it has that exact issue. When contacting Chrysler, they said my Jeep was not part of the recall. When pushed that I had the exact same conditions the recall addressed, they said to take it to a dealer and pay for an inspection. If found to be similar, they would offer assistance (without agreeing to 100% coverage) to fix it. It is unacceptable that even though my Jeep has the exact issue addressed in the recall that they refuse to include it in the recall because of the VIN not being part of the official recall lot.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph in the rain the soft top on the vehicle began leaking on the driver and passengers side where the doors meet. If water leaked on the electrical components in the vehicle they could rust or a fire may occur. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for the water leak and they replaced the door seals on the driver and passenger side; however, that has not remedied the failure. The dealer stated that it was a design flaw in the soft top and the door seals. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the leaking soft top and they would not provide any assistance. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 59,500.

Every time I fill up at the gas station the pump will overflow if I'm filling up the tank. The pump doesn't stop unless I pull the nozzle out at which point gas will spill all over the rear flare and paint. It happens at all gas stations. This is in my opinion a very serious safety issue. It appears Chrysler is going to wait for an ignition source to be around for someone to get seriously injured or die before they resolve this.

Soft top has leaked and been work on under warranty and is now out of warranty and still leaking from the center of the windshield. During periods of mile and heavy rain. Water drips down the center console and often causes electrical issues with radio. The dealers now will not work on it unless I pay for the service and parts. The dealer refused to replace the soft top itself as they have already replaced the mating windshield header.

I drive a 2007 Jeep Wrangler unlimited and everytime I try to fill my gas tank the pump at various gas stations never shuts off and causes lot of gas spilling out of the fuel tank eroding the paint on my car and causing greater expense in fuel. This has been an on going problem that has been happening for about one year.

My 2008 Jeep Wrangler shakes when going over a bump or when I accelerate at 40 mph. It is scary, it feels like driving on black ice. I had the tires checked and they are fine. There must be a problem with the steering component. Also, freedom top has leaked and stained my seats. Dealership just fixed it a month ago. Also, the Jeep was leaking oil, dealership just fixed the intake manifold gasket 3 weeks ago. It is scheduled to go back to dealership for this steering issue and it is rusting on both doors. Poor, poor quality. I am very unhappy with this vehicle. I have looked up recalls and none are listed for my issues , so I am starting to feel like I own a lemon. I have wrote to Jeep and Chrysler, waiting on their replies. Jeep owner need to be aware of this shaking you off the road, it is like you are swerving out of control, very scary. It is going to cause fatalities.

On thurs June 25 at apx 1800 hrs both halves of the freedom top on my 2007 Jeep Wrangler flew off the car at 55 mph. The fiberglass failed and the tops tore away from the metal latches. I got fiberglass in my eyes and hurt my neck in the process. The tops were firmly secured and had not been off the car in at least six weeks. During those six weeks I had driven in excess of 55 mph with out a problem had anyone been driving behind me the certainly could have been injured or killed. I retrieved the tops from the hwy and have them as evidence I contacted Chrysler and they refuse to acknowledge the problem or take any kind of corrective action the car has 40,000 mi on it. My insurance CO says I am not covered for the damage. I have pictures of the damaged tops any help would be greatly appreciated.

2008 Jeep Wrangler. There is a poorly designed bracket right behind the drivers and passengers head. The bracket has a sharp metal corner right behind the front drivers and passengers heads. If there even small accident, there would be significant trauma to the head if they were to hit the bracket. Currently this bracket is only covered by a styrofoam piece. This bracket sits right on the roll bar and can easily be fixed the trauma that individuals would get from this bracket would be significant. It is located right next to the plastic sound bar underneath some styrofoam.

Rained and leaked water through factory soft top which damaged electronics.

2008 rubicon 4 dr 4x4. . Soft top leaks badly in center and at both right and left doors. The water drops onto shift console ,radio and both door panels. Last leak the floor was soaked with water and the seats have water stains. Dealer said I must contact feep hot line, waiting to hear from them.

Soft top and hard tops both leak in heavy rains or at the car wash. Leak is from the a-pillar area above the doors. My 2007 Jeep Wrangler has been to the dealer four times to have the leak addressed. The dealership then had my warranty voided because my 2007 Jeep Wrangler had "signs" that it had been "offroad. ".

Purchased a brand new 08 Jeep rubicon. These have a removable top. From day one the top leaks a ridiculous amount of water. Even while your driving water will pour from the front of the windshield on the inside of the interior covering gauges and electronically components as well as causing water to run down and cover the windshield itself on the inside making it near impossible to drive in a safe manner. It is as if trying to drive without wipers. The water will also pour out from the top onto myself while driving the vehicle as well as any other passenger. Have made multiple complaints to the dealer and they "try" to fix it but always say that there is a limit to what can be done since no recall has been issued to make it a mandatory repair. I feel that any oem defect that is common in a large percent of the vehicle from day 1 that makes the car unsafe to drive or causes issues that operating the vehicle in a safe manner impossible. I feel that the company is trying to avoid spending money to fix a issue that should have never been allowed to leave the factory if they can get away with it. I just hope it does not take the loss of someone's life because of this problem to draw enough attention to make the company correct it. Not only is this bad business but a lack of respect of safety and possible the cost of human life.

I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler that leaks. Alot. I have had it in 8 times for repairs and it always still leaks. They have tried little foam strips and evan a new top all to no avail.
