I was driving down the road in my 2008 wrangler and all of the sudden every light flashed on my dash board then it felt like I could not shift gears then smoke came pouring out of my air vents. I pulled over and got out realizing it was on fire. Climbed in to save my dog just before the fire got huge. My entire Jeep is gone.

On 07/16/2021 at approximately 1600 hundred the smoke detectors in the house began alarming. I immediately noticed smoke coming from the garage. After getting my 6 year old son safely out of the house I immediately called 911. The fire department arrived and took care of the situation. The entire engine compartment was burnt. Before all of this we arrived at the house and parked in the garage. Only 5 minutes went by between parking the Jeep and calling 911. During operation of the vehicle that day there was no indication of any issues. The Fire Inspector preformed his investigation. As of now I have not received the incident report. Once I do I will supply it. I am waiting to hear from the insurance company regarding when an adjuster will view the Jeep. Thank you.

THE DEFROST ON A JEEP WRANGLER IS VERY INEFFECTIVE AND POORLY DESIGNED. THE ONLY BLOWER FOR THE DEFROST IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW CAUSING THE SIDES OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO SEVERELY FREEZE UP AND BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER SUCH AS FOG, SLEET OR SNOW. BASICALLY ANY TYPE OF PRECIPITATION DURING WEATHER THAT IS BELOW FREEZING WILL CAUSE THIS WHICH RESULTS IN A SEVERE INABILITY TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ON ANY ROAD AS LONG AS THERE IS PRECIPITATION AND TEMPS ARE BELOW FREEZING.

JAN 24 2018. I AM DRIVING MY JEEP JK 2008. 103,000 MILES. STOCK EVERYTHING. WAS DRIVING IT ALL DAY IN THE EVERGLADES.

MY AC/HEATER BLOWER MOTOR WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE HORN SOUNDS WITHOUT BEING ENGAGED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL ENGAGE BY THEMSELVES. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN BOTH STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. I BELIVE THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. WHEN TALKING WITH OTHERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THERE APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THESE MALFUNCTIONS COULD PUT ME IN DANGER. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I CAN'T DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD THERE IS A VISABILITY PROBLEM. ALSO, ASSUMING IT IS THE TIPM THERE ARE MANY OTHER THINGS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY HAPPEN.

IN 2009 MY TIPM FAILED AND I EXPERIENCED THE 'POSSESSED JEEP' CONDITION WHERE EVERYTHING TURNED ON (LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, HORN, RADIO BLASTING WITH NO DISPLAY). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE (UNDER 5 YEAR WARRANTY). IN 2012 MY REAR BRAKE CALIPERS SEIZED ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE, THEY WERE GLOWING CHERRY-RED AFTER A 1 HOUR COMMUTE INTO WORK, PERFECT TO START A FIRE IF I HAD PULLED INTO A GAS STATION WITH SOME GAS SPILLED ON THE GROUND OR SOMETHING. I GOT AFTER-MARKET CALIPERS BECAUSE THE GUY AT AUTO ZONE SAID THAT HE HAD SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT REPLACED IT WITH FACTORY CALIPERS AND THEY FAILED WITHIN 40000 MILES, THEY WENT WITH AFTER-MARKET CALIPERS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM, I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE MYSELF. WELL NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HORN, FRONT PASSENGER PARKING LAMP/TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING. THERE ARE NO BLOWN FUSES OR UNHOOKED WIRES, EVERYTHING IS STOCK (I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW). AT THIS SAME TIME, MY PASSENGER SEAT KEEPS COMING UNLATCHED AND FLYING FORWARD AND BACK (AS IF SOMEONE WERE TRYING TO ENTER THE BACK SEAT). I CAN PUSH THE SEAT BACK INTO POSITION, BUT IT WILL FLY FORWARD ALL BY ITSELF AT RANDOM. THIS STARTED IMMEDIATELY WITH THE HORN AND PASSENGER PARKING LAMP ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND PRESENTS A CHOKING HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT FASTENED. SINCE THE HORN HAS STOPPED WORKING, I AM CONCERNED THAT MY AIR-BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY (CLOCK-SPRING ISSUE) OR IF IT IS THAT TIPM AGAIN. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD NEED TO PAY FOR YET ANOTHER TIPM THIS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE SINCE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

WITHOUT WARNING ... HORN STARTS BLOWING, WINDSHIELD WASHER COMES ON, LIGHTS FLASH, DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK, KEY SWITCH OFF DOESN'T STOP THE PROBLEM, SO FAR HAVE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND OPEN THE HOOD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. RECONNECTING THE BATTERY SOMETIMES WORKS BUT THE HEATER/AC STOPS WORKING... THIS SITUATION IS A REAL ROAD HAZARD!!! AFTER AWHILE THINGS WORK OK UNTIL IT REPEATS. VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO BE ON THE ROAD. JEEP SERVICE PEOPLE RESPOND BY SAYING THAT THAT THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG! WELL SURE, THE EVENT IS OVER WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE "FIXED"! BASIS FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR SURE! VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED.

EXPERIENCING WHAT HAS BEEN CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE." VIOLENT SHAKING AND UNABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE ON HWY. IF YOU HIT A BUMP GOING OVER 55 YOU WILL MOST LIKELY EXPERIENCE THIS AND CAN ONLY STOP TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS MAY BE A DEADLY PROBLEM! HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THIS JEEP IN JULY OF 2015 AND WE'VE ONLY HAD IT 3 MONTHS. NO DEALER SUPPORT OR HELP ON THE PROBLEM AFTER FIRST ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

FUELING HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAD A SHUT OFF PROBLEM IN THAT THE GAS WOULD EJECT FROM THE CAR. THEN I HAD A PROBLEM WITH SLOW FUELING. IT MIGHT TAKE A GALLON THEN ALMOST STOP TAKING FOREVER TO PUT FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BEGNAL MOTORS IN KINGSTON AND THEY DID ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND REPLACED THE INTAKE NOZZLE? AND SOMETHING TO ALLOW AIR INTO THE TANK WHEN REFUELING. IT SEEMED TO BE OK FOR AWHILE THEN WENT BACK TO THE FUELING PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO BEGNAL AND THEY SEEMED TO BELIEVE THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE! THIS IS A LIABILITY TO MY SAFETY. I DROVE THE JEEP TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK THE END OF JUNE OF THIS YEAR AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM...I HAVE TO USE MY VEHICLE FOR MANY TRIPS OUT OF TOWN AND IT IS FRIGHTENING AS THEY TOLD ME THIS PROBLEM WOULD PROBABLY GET WORSE! THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM.

I WORK ON DRILLING RIGS IN THE NORTH EAST OFTEN IN REMOTE LOCATIONS. AFTER RETURNING TO THE RIG FROM A TRIP TO TOWN WITH NO ISSUES I LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR TWO DAYS. UPON OPTING TO GO TO TOWN I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE. I TURNED THE IGNITION AND HAD ALL ELECTRICAL POWER BUT NOTHING TO CRANK THE ENGINE. I TESTED ALL COMPONENTS I COULD BEFORE COMING TO THE CONCLUSION IT WAS A COMPUTER RELATED ISSUE FOR A JEEP DEALER. I MADE THE ARRANGEMENTS AND TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 40 MILE AWAY. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR A DAY ALONG WITH ALL MY FAULT FINDING DATA THE DEALER CALLED TO INFORM ME IT WAS THE TIPM. AFTER QUESTIONING THE REP AS TO THE CAUSES OF A FAILURE I WAS TOLD THAT IT UNKNOWN BUT A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND 400 MILES POST REPAIR I HAVE HAD NO FURTHER ISSUES.

WENT OUT TO VEHICLE TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT AND WIPER FLUID WAS SPRAYING THEN WIPERS STARTED MOVING AND HORN STARTED BLOWING. THE KEYS WERE IN MY HAND NOT IN THE IGNITION. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES NOTHING WE DID WOULD MAKE IT STOP. IT HAS HAPPENED 8 MORE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS DISCONNECT BATTERY. (WHICH WE FOUND THIS OUT AFTER THE 2ND TIME OF IT HAPPENING) THIS HAS HAPPENED GOING DOWN THE ROAD ALONG WITH JUST OPENING THE BACK GATE. IT ACTS LIKE IT HAS GREMLINS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD! WHEN THIS STARTS IT SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF YOU AND YOU HAVE TO FIND THE NEAREST PLACE TO PULL OFF TO DISCONNECT BATTERY TERMINALS.

I HAD JUST DRIVEN ABOUT 1/2 MILE AND PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, WENT INSIDE, TOOK A SHOWER AND GONE TO BED. ABOUT 30 MIN LATER I WAKE UP HEARING POPPING OUTSIDE, MY JEEP WAS FULLY ENGULFED. THE FIRE APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED IN THE COMPARTMENT AREA OR FROM UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HANDLED THE CLAIM BUT AFTER SEEING ALL THESE OTHER COMMENTS SAYING PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER IS NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ON A FLAT PAVED ROAD WHEN THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY! I PULLED TO THE CENTER LANE AND STOPPED. ONCE I WAS CALMED DOWN, I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE SHAKING STARTED AGAIN! I KNOW IT IS REALLY BAD BECAUSE THE DRIVERS AROUND ME COULD SEE I WAS IN TROUBLE AND THEY SLOWED DOWN ALSO. AGAIN I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPED. I HAD TO CONTINUE ON TO WORK BUT WAS VERY AFRAID IT WOULD HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, WHICH IT DIDN'T. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I HAVE REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER BUT THEY HAVE NOT ANSWERED ANY OF MY INQUIRIES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
