My wife noticed 'hood flutter' on our jeep right after we bought in and immediately found the 'rugged ridge hood catches' on amazon, ordered them (at a cost of $113.99 + tax to us) and had me install them, before we left las vegas for wisconsin to return home. We were going about 75mph traveling from colorado springs to las vegas, nv, on I-25 and I-40, and even though she is legally blind she could see the hood bouncing around. It seemed worse when traveling into a headwind, but was still noticeable with a crosswind. The problem seemed to be the rubber latches that are used to hold the jeeps hood down were stretching allowing the hood to move on our 2 day old jeep.

My 2016 jeep wrangler unlimited was parked in an almost perfectly flat parking lot, locked, with no one in the vehicle. The emergency brake was not on. The keys were not in the vehicle. It began to roll away backwards over a hillside, about a 20 foot drop, into the middle of a busy roadway. The jeep landed on the back bumper/back door.
When the jeep is stopped and you want to get out of the front or rear door. At the door threshold when you step on the carpet it will collapse and give you about a 1-inch space which causes you to trip. I ask the service center and jeep about this issue and they said so what this is the way it was designed.
2016 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited. Prior to purchase, the traction light was on. Not even 5 miles away from the dealership on the highway, the vehicle has extreme shaking of the steering wheel, the vehicle veers to the right without the steering wheel turning to the right, rear traction slippage, and a lit traction light on the dash. This happened on a dry, smooth, straight- stretch of highway (65-70mph) coming home from purchasing the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to a dealership, where the dealership said the lit traction light was probably the problem and factory reset the vehicle and said the vehicle was perfect. 4 miles into the 7 mile drive home, everything recurred again merging right to take a right hand highway exit -ramp (~67mph, 185mi). Prior to towing the vehicle to another dealership, it is noted that water is accumulating on the driver's side floor and keeps reappearing. The freedom top has been in original factory state and has not been removed and reinstalled. The battery was also dead at time of tow and need jumpstarted. The traction light was lit on the dash after the jumpstart. The failure mileage is 188 miles.
The freedom top leaks when it rains which causes water to leak into the radio, dashboard and on to the floor. I've had it serviced once and it continues to happen.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the rear passenger side door panel was extremely sharp and continuously injured the rear seat passenger upon exiting.

Hard top leaks around the freedom panels everytime it rains causing the seats, floor and dashboard to get wet.
