What owners say
I pulled into parking space, foot on brake,( zero speed naturally) as I started to move shifter from drive to park, the engine roared and jeep accelerated up over curb and ~ 20ft till I hit the corner of the la fitness building ( my destination) all the time with my foot depressed very hard on the brake. Damaging front bumper, grill , headlight and windshield on left corner (driver side). I deployed all my strength to brake during event with no effect, turned off car, and put it in park. Air bag did not deploy. 1-10-2019 at ~ 8:45am. Carrolton texas (75007 ) police report # 2019008855, officer elmore # 680 filed on 1-10-2019. I called huffines jeep dealership to inquire if issues with sudden acceleration had been reported (officer reccomend I check before I drive to their repair shop) bob in customer service said he did not know of any issues or recalls. So I slowly drove with warning light active at ~ 20 MPH to shop to start repairs (geico ins. Claim # 0529467460101044 )
Nov 3, 2016...I arrived home, backed my 2013 jeep wrangler 4dr moab edition into her garage bay and left the bay door open since it was sunny out and went up to the house to prepare dinner. 20 mins after coming home, we heard a boom, looked out to see black smoke pouring out the open garage door for our jeep. My husband ran down, used a fire extinguisher on the fire and then the water hose, then pushed the vehicle outside the garage and hosed it off more before the fire dept arrived. Investigation determined that the front wiring harness for the headlights, fog lights, trail lights and winch is where the fire started. The explosion we heard was a small canister by the radiator for the AC.
Headlight harnesses go bad. Lights flicker, don't turn on without messing with harnesses or take a few seconds to minutes to turn on or change to high beams. Thus is while stationary or while in motion. Hitting bumps in the road also affect the lights flickering or turning off or on.
Tipm is defective causing electrical faults in the headlights,transfer case, brakes and windshield wipers
