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.

The tipm unit went out, causing lots of issues. The issues we're aware of are: the doors wouldn't lock, shifter was stuck in park, radio/cd/bluetooth wouldn't work, and the front headlights wouldn't turn off leading to a complete drain of the battery. Thankfully, the vehicle was parked and this didn't happen while we were driving it (it could have been very dangerous if it did). It cost us $1100.00 to replace the tipm unit, which was a huge financial burden on us, but even worse was that we had to go without the jeep (one of our main means of transportation) for almost two months because there's a waiting list for the replacement part. We checked with 3 different repair shops just to be sure, and all said the same thing: 1.) that there's a waiting list at least 40 people long for this tipm unit, and 2.) that they've been seeing jeep wranglers left & right for this same exact problem, and there's a waiting list because the part can't even be manufactured quickly enough to keep up with the demand. I know the tipm unit has been recalled for jeep cherokees, but why not jeep wrangler when this is clearly a major issue for it as well??

Rear ended another vehicle at a speed of approximately 25 MPH. The air bags did not deploy at time of impact or at all. Noticed that the rear windshield wipers did not work as well as the automatic door locks. Apparently this is a electrical issue that could have caused some serious injuries.
