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.

Continuing issue with little or no heat being produced in the passenger compartment. This has been repaired four time in the past six years. It works for a few months and then the issue reoccurs. This effects the ability to defrost/defog the windshield as well as making the interior very cold during the winter months. Chrysler cannot fix the issue even with a tsb having been issued about the problem.

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.

Windshield wipers stopped working on the highway in the middle of a thunderstorm, creating a hazardous situation. Took the vehicle into the shop, had the fuses checked, wiper motor replaced, windshield wiper switch tested, and nothing fixed the issue. The issue turns out to be a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module), and will cost over 1200 dollars to replace. This appears to be a widespread issue with chrysler vehicles.
