After I leased my car, I realized later that the car doesn't squirt out windshield fluid. The car was in motion on a winter night on a city street.

I was driving down the garden state parkway in NJ around 6 or 7 pm when there was what sounded like an explosion. It turned out the rear windshield shattered while driving down the road. I did not see or hear anything hit the car and looking at the damage it looks like it is related to rear defroster because that is where the most damage is on each side.

The back windshield wiper, no longer works. It basically first just fell down over the tail light and when turned on, it would only cover part of the window. Later it would drop further down. There are times when you could manually move it. But it no longer works when you try to turn it on normally. Also the intermittent wiper settings for the front windshield, have not worked at all.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. While driving various speeds, the windshield wipers failed and turned off. The wipers would not restart even when the wiper switch was turned on. While driving various speeds, the vehicle jerked and failed to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42,300. The contact has stated by disconecting the battery the wipers turn off and the connecting the battery again fixes it temporarily. The consumer stated the wipers would start while they were turned off. The vehicle was very sluggish as if it were going to die while being driven.

When I turn wipers on high they shut off. Chrysler said they are getting a new body control module. I have been waiting since June 2016. I feel it is dangerous and if they can't fix it they should give us S new car. I was driving to work in heavy rain and put my wipers on high and they quit!

There have been several recalls on my vehicle since purchasing it almost 2 years ago. I've had to be inconveniently placed in a rental a couple times and pay a deposit out of pocket for something that wasn't even my fault. I contacted the dealer days after purchasing it to express my dissatisfaction, they were very unhelpful. One month after purchasing it is when I started needing to get the vehicle serviced several times. This latest recall, I have reached out to the dealer and the "earliest" appointment isn't until November. I called NHTSA customer service today to see if they could "speed up the process" but they too were very unhelpful. The person I spoke with expressed that the parts needed to fix this recall were all sold out and she wasn't sure when the parts would be coming in. Now, I am stuck in an unsafe, faulty vehicle until it can get serviced to this recall. In the safety recall notice it states in bold, "the loss of motive power could cause a crash without warning." Driving this vehicle in the condition that it's in and the potential safety hazard is life threatening. What exactly am I supposed to do now? I use this vehicle everyday and I am not the only passenger in it. I've contacted NHTSA before and submitted documentation of all the services the vehicle has had, and nothing was resolved on my behalf. I'm surprised legal action hasn't been presented to the manufacturer for these recalls and poor quality vehicles.

Received two recalls, have been going to dealer for over 8 months to get them done, contacted Jeep manufacturer, still no parts received. Dealer says they have not received parts and to keep checking in, which I've persistently been doing for eight months to the point of frustration. It has been almost a year since the last two recalls were stated.in the meantime my defective parts continue to malfunction if used. An efficient and timely manner to get the recalls done has not been conducted by Jeep and by fca us llc.

My Jeep Cherokee 2014 has 21181 mileage and the check engine light came on.I notice that the car was shifting into gear hard and at times would not accelerate when getting on the freeway. So my husband took it to get the oil changed at the dealership where we bought the Jeep and they said everything looked good. Well when my husband left all the dummy lights came on he turned right around and went back to the dealership, the service manager came out and said the tech put the wrong oil filter on and that they would have to redo the oil change. On a month later the check engine light comes on so we call the dealership and ask if maybe them putting the wrong filter on that I would cause the check engine light to come on.the service manager said no that we would have to take it to Jeep. It is still under warranty because it is under the mileage.but I looked on the complaint forum and seen many people having the same problem some having a hard time getting Chrysler to help them. And almost all of them having the transmission replaced. I find that to be very disturbing considering I have only had the car for 8 months. I feel that the car should be replaced this is a dangerous situation that could cost lives. Thank you.Tacoma
