2012 Jeep Wrangler Visibility & Wipers Problems

FOR THE 2012 WRANGLER, TIPM 68105503AB WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE ADDITIONAL RELAYS INSTALLED DUE TO WIPER FAILURE. HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2009/RCRIT-09V438-9017.PDF

DEFROSTERS DO NOT WORK DUE TO HEATING SYSTEM CLOGGED WITH SAND FROM THE ENGINE DIE CASTING. DURING TIME OF MANUFACTURING, JEEP DID NOT CLEAN OUT THE SAND FROM MOLDING THE ENGINE WHICH IS NOW PLUGGING THE HEATER CORE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE WINDSHIELD FROSTS OVER DUE TO NO HEAT. I HAVE ATTACHED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT DEMONSTRATES HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS PROBLEM IS.

AT THE BEGINNING OF WINTER I NOTICE THE DEFROST/HEAT IN THE JEEP WAS NOT PUTTING OUT A LOT OF HEAT. IT WOULD BARELY DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. WITH THE FRIGID WEATHER WE HAVE HAD, I JUST HAD IT CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THE HEATER CORE, AND THE RADIATOR WOULD NEED CHANGED BECAUSE THEY WERE PLUGGED. I FEEL SORRY FOR ANYONE THAT OWNS A CHRYSLER PRODUCT. THIS STILL DOES NOT RUN RIGHT AFTER THE HEAD WAS CHANGED, NO DUMMY LIGHT COMES ON, SO NONE OF THE MECHANICS WILL BELIEVE ME THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE MILEAGE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE ISSUES STARTED RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT IS NOT THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT, IT IS THE COMPANY. DO SOMETHING TO GET THE ISSUES FIXED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE MIRRORS WOULD NOT DEFROST. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 13V234000 (POWER TRAIN, STEERING) AND 14V631000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND VISIBILITY). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE HAS NO HEAT ON DRIVER SIDE VENT AND FLOOR VENTS, COLD AIR COMES OUT AS IF THE A/C IS ON. AS TIME HAS PASSED COOL AIR ON FRONT WINDOW DEFROSTER AS WELL AS CENTER AND PASSENGER VENTS. VEHICLE IS WARMED UP WHEN TRYING TO TURN HEAT ON WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. ONLINE JEEP FORUMS LIST THIS AS A PROBLEM TO JEEP WRANGLERS. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DEFROST WINDOWS FOR VISIBILITY, AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. VEHICLE IS ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD. *TR

WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT INTERSECTION, A LOUD POP SOUNDED AND THE WINDSHIELD EXHIBITED A CRACK. THERE WAS NO STONE OR ANY OTHER PROJECTILE THAT HIT THE WINDSHIELD. IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND THE DEFROSTER/HEATER WAS ON. THE CAUSE OF THE WINDSHIELD CRACK APPEARED TO BE A THERMAL SHOCK. AS THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FURTHER WITH THE DEFROSTER ON, THE LENGTH OF THE CRACK CONTINUED TO INCREASE AND ALSO MOVE INTO NEW DIRECTIONS. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED 3 CHIPS ONE LEADING TO A SERIOUS CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD ALL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OF ROAD TIME. THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP AND MY FIRST NEVER GOT A CHIP. I FEEL THE WINDSHIELD IN MY 2012 JEEP RUBICON IS OF INFERIOR QUALITY AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I FEAR MY SAFETY IF ANOTHER ROCK HITS THIS WINDSHIELD. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP MANUFACTURE AND FILED COMPLAINTS SO IT WILL BE ON FILE. IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND WILL DO IN NEAR FUTURE BUT I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT/CONCERN WITH YOUR AGENCY TOO. I DO NOT HAVE MUCH FAITH IN THE DEALERSHIP AS TO MAKING A RESOLVE WITH THIS ISSUE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
