2012 Jeep Wrangler body problems

Filed Dec 4, 2022 · Body · NJ

The secondary hood latch failed, and was not securing the hood. In the event of a primary hood latch failure, the hood could release and strike the windshield while driving, obscuring vision and potentially causing bodily harm. My research indicates that this is not an isolated incident.

There is galvanic corrosion forming on all of my hinges on my vehicle. The steel hinges touching the aluminium door panel. You can see the bubbling happening and it is a known issue on jeep wranglers. Eventually it will rust and cause major problems being that it is happening on all of my door hinges. I first noticed it in 2016 and it continues to get worse. You can google rust on wrangler door hinges and see the thousands of pictures of jeep owners with the same issues, or go onto a jeep forum or talk to any jeep wrangler owner. I can provide my own pictures if needed I didn't take any yet.

Passenger carpet under has standing water.. Rubber mats I purchased and placed in jeep upon purchasing covered what appears to be a pre-existing problem, upon removal of may to vacuum found carpet soaked so dried carpet and intermittently still gets standing water have not determined cause appears when raining? Can not pin point cause or where if a leak exists.. This problem has existed since purchase but since may covered problem 30 day warranty was voided. (hadn't rained within 30 days of purchase anyway to have found existing problem.. This appears to be a common jeep complaint per many sites but no cause noted. Dealership wants $200. To try and duplicate problem to diagnosis. Pre~existing at purchase..

Since I have owned the vehicle the windshield wipers will come on every once in a while when I turn on the left blinker. I also have a problem with the tailgait. After about 3 years of ownership of the vehicle the tailgate hinge did not stop the tailgate from opening up a full 180 degrees causing the elbow joint to come completely out and my right tail light to be shattered. I was told by the dealer ship that this was common issue, but they would not return my calls/emails to get it fixed.

This vehicle was purchased in november of 2011. By april my wife started to have continuous visits to the emergency room for respiratory issues. Eventually I took out the carpets and found it there was water leaking inside the vehicle on some occasions after it was taken to the dealership and it was allegedly fixed, there was standing water about three inches in the footwell on numerous occasions I had to take out the drain plugs and drain the water the carpet is infested with mold and mildew. My family cannot make extended trips in the vehicle unless I thoroughly vacuumed dry and wipe every crevice of the vehicle down. I have seen the leaking while the vehicle is stationary I've also seen the vehicle leaking while I was driving. I have contacted fca (fiat chrysler of america) on social media and was informed to take it to the dealership. Which I've already done so I have talked to other people in the jeep community and I've talked to my local jeep dealer and they stated since the vehicles out of warranty that I would have to bring the vehicle back in and pay numerous fees in order for them to fix the vehicle from leaking which they have replace the seals on the door once and that has not remedy the situation. I don't think it is fair that the owner who has really taken the vehicle out offroad this vehicle has only touched sand and gravel roads and has not done anything extreme. This is an obvious design flaw from fca dealerships are taken advantage of family's health and safety by not fixing this potentially fatal flaw. The mold and mildew can cause the driver and their passengers do you have asthma attacks and other health-related issues.

Rear passenger side door handle button is not releasing after opening (sticking). Therefore, door sometimes does not latch shut and comes open while driving. Although, properly buckled, safety concern is due to rear passengers, such as children.
