2013 Jeep Wrangler visibility problems

Filed Nov 5, 2021 · Electrical, Visibility · TX

Mopar Performance 68018109AA A/C and Heater Actuator has failed 3 times. I've replaced the original and twice since. This part is a safety issue because it directed the heat to defrost/de-ice the Windshield and provide heat to the occupants. There is plenty of evidence on YouTube of Jeep owners replacing this part for years now and yet there has not been a Recall regarding this part. The last replacement part was in January 2020 and failed again which I just replaced. Three times since 2013 when I purchased the 10th Anniversary Jeep Rubicon new which is why I've had enough of MOPAR not caring about its customers

While driving on a cold night with no other drivers on the road, my windshield suddenly cracked. I had the defroster on. I've read about hundreds of other people who have had this issue with their jeeps. It's an issue and they don't want to take responsibility for it.

Reoccurring clogging of the engine coolant system, causing very low heat available for defrosting of the windshield in below freezing temperatures. I have found that this is a very common problem on this model of jeep wrangler. Effect is at its worst during city driving

Driver's side of windshield would not defrost. After internet review, I believe my heater core is partially clogged with a sludge like substance circulating in the anti freeze coolant and this only allows hot air to circulate on the passenger side of vehicle. The sludge like substance clogging the heater core is believed by some to be caused by manufacturing remnants stuck in the cooling system. The issue only became apparent to me on a longer than normal commute in cold weather. I was travelling on a highway at night following a snowstorm and the roads were poorly plowed. I only have 50,000 miles on this car and have not had any work done to this car's engine or had any damage to the engine compartment. The anti freeze has not been changed since manufacture and not yet removed from the vehicle. The problem occurred last night. February 5, 2019, but may have been an issue prior to last night, but the problem was not as severe. I will attempt to contact fca regarding this issue. There are numerous complaints listed on the internet regarding this issue.

No heat on drivers side only causing visibility issues as defrost on drivers side is blowing cold air. Shop has done colant flush 2x in 1 year plus changed the thermostat which have all only been temporary fixes. Issue always returns. Heated seats fail to function as colder the outside temp is and when engaged doesnt feel as hot as they should. Jeep engine stalls out in reverse, worse when cold outside, will also dies occasionally when putting into drive. Dealer fail to find the cause as no warning lights are ever on as this did not happen in their presence and no codes come up although this happens almost every morning during winter when attempting to back out of my driveway. Occasionally if engine is stalling upon reverse it will also stall in the street again when shifting from reverse into drive. This stalling issue will happen no matter if I warm the engine before attempting to drive or not it makes no difference but it is more often in winter. Don't remember having this issue during summer but I've only owned it 1 year. Jeep also occasionally shakes terribly when I hit 60mph. So badly, I have to slow down or pull over as I feel like its going to lose control. My entire front end starts shaking, stealing wheel bouncing its awful. This 1st happened shortly after purchasing and I took it back to the dealer. Was told the front passenger caliper was falling off, they replaced that and 1 wk later that same caliper was again hanging on by jist 1 bolt. Shaking is again happening starting at exactly 60mph but calipers are in tact so I don't believe this was the real issue either. This $26k jeep is turning out to be a money pit. One thing after another. I keep reading about jeep owners all with my same problems so why are none of these issues being recalled???

Noisy loud defrost fan motor not maintaining speed, may come and go producing a no defrost condition and hampering ability to see. May come and go, a high pitch sqeek or clicking can be heard from the fan bearings.
