| Description of the problem | 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??? |
