Occasionally the hood lifts up and shakes violently while driving at highway speed, typically when an on oncoming semi truck passes. I'm concerned the rubber hood straps are going to break and the hood fly open at highway speeds.
2017 Jeep Wrangler body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
In high winds or passed by approaching large vehicles the hood flutters dangerously. I had to install after market hood hold down latches to correct the problem. $100 to correct the hood flutter. It happened more than once.
Hood flutter. While driving down the highway at posted speeds, if winds are high or passing an oncoming large truck, the hood will flutter due to the lack of support from the weak rubber latches that secure the hood. This has happened several times now. Research clearly indicates this is a wide spread problem and the manufacturer has refused to address this issue. In some reports I have read, the latches can break and cause massive damage to the vehicle and put the driver and passenger in harms way.
While driving at highway speeds (70 MPH) I encountered some strong cross winds causing a lifting action of the hood. The lifting action of the hood (about 1/2") gave me enough concern to slow down until the lifting action stopped. It appears that the hood latches on either side of the hood, being made of rubber, are not strong enough to prevent the hood from lifting. The center release did not hold the center down, allowing for the movement.
The hood of my jeep wrangler doesn't appear to be secure when driving at highway speeds, particularly when it's windy or I'm passing an on-coming semi truck. The hood bounces and flutters.
The car caught on fire while driving
In an accident 01/30/2018. Hit vehicle that ran a red light in driver's side at somewhere betwen 30-40 MPH with the front of my vehicle. The other vehicle flipped over on it's top. It was a full size pick-up with loaded service body. The impact stopped my vehicle. My vehicle was a 2017 jeep wrangler with 7500 miles on it. As a result of the damaged my vehicle was a total loss.
I was driving home from work on old country road in plainview goin about 40 MPH, the rear wheels of the jeep completely locked up while moving, causing the car to come to a violent stop, nearly causing an accident. The vehicle was un-drivable and needed to be towed to the dealership where it was purchased. Security dodge in amityville found leaking fluid from the rear of the vehicle, a hole in the rear axel housing, further inspection found pinion failure causing damage to rear end and axel shaft. The dealership refused to offer any type of buyout or lease termination option, I made it clear to them that I didn't feel safe getting back into this vehicle, they told me that the rental car that was given to me during the repair time was due back or it would be reported as stolen, furthermore they told me of the jeep was not removed from the property, they would charge me storage fees. They offered no explanation fro why this safety defect occurred, what caused it and whether or not it could happen again. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle and this was not handled professionally by the dealership nor the jeep manufacturer
Alignment keeps going out and I keep parking at a angle no one can figure it out for me.
