The hood would flutter at speeds of 70 MPH or more, normally on interstate driving. Seemed worse when high winds (weather) were present. When my hood was damaged by hail in may 2018, I changed the original hood latches also to an aftermarket product that no longer allows the hood to flutter at these speeds. I am the original owner of this vehicle. This happened from the time I purchased the vehicle (01/2014) until latches were changed to aftermarket product (05/2018).

The hood latches do not prevent the hood from fluttering at highway speeds. It appears as though the hood latches may fail at any moment.

At only around 20,000 miles while turning right and braking I would hear a crunch sound. Also the cloth top on the jeep was manufactured very tightly against the side roll bars and are wearing out the cloth on the poles which will eventually end up with a torn material. I've had to replace the plastic back window at 17,0000 miles because of the lack of visibility. Currently the jeep has 28,000 miles and is garage kept. The fender flares have started faded already too.

My jeep was parked on the street in front of my house for about 13 hours and a electrical fire started on the front passenger side at around 3am. It burned half the vehicle before being put out and totaled out my jeep. It also damaged the entire back end of the car parked in front of me. The fire department ruled this was a electrical fire and not arson. Days before I noticed the outside temp was reading at 119 degrees out side when the temp was actually 99 degrees. I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it but I found it very odd. I have read thousands of incidents similar to this some involving worst property damage and even cases with fatalities. I think chrysler/jeep need to be held accountable for this and get these dagerous vehicles off the streets asap
