The hood would flutter at speeds of 70 mph or more, normally on interstate driving. Seemed worse when high winds (weather) were present. When my hood was damaged by hail in May 2018, I changed the original hood latches also to an aftermarket product that no longer allows the hood to flutter at these speeds. I am the original owner of this vehicle. This happened from the time I purchased the vehicle (01/2014) until latches were changed to aftermarket product (05/2018).

At only around 20,000 miles while turning right and braking I would hear a crunch sound. Also the cloth top on the Jeep was manufactured very tightly against the side roll bars and are wearing out the cloth on the poles which will eventually end up with a torn material. I've had to replace the plastic back window at 17,0000 miles because of the lack of visibility. Currently the Jeep has 28,000 miles and is garage kept. The fender flares have started faded already too.
My Jeep was parked on the street in front of my house for about 13 hours and a electrical fire started on the front passenger side at around 3am. It burned half the vehicle before being put out and totaled out my Jeep. It also damaged the entire back end of the car parked in front of me. The fire department ruled this was a electrical fire and not arson. Days before I noticed the outside temp was reading at 119 degrees out side when the temp was actually 99 degrees. I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it but I found it very odd. I have read thousands of incidents similar to this some involving worst property damage and even cases with fatalities. I think Chrysler/Jeep need to be held accountable for this and get these dagerous vehicles off the streets asap

Got cold out and my windshield cracked by itself. Jeep refuses to warranty the glass even though I have bumper to bumper warranty and this was cracked overnight in the driveway.
Several miles from home I crossed a bridge doing between 45 and 50 miles per hour and the Jeep started bouncing and shaking so bad (like it had 4 square tires) and veering to the left. I had no control of the vehicle as the steering wheel was shaking so hard I had trouble holding onto it. I braked really slow and kept it on the road till it came to a stop. I had just met a vehicle on a two lane country road (which are not very wide and no shoulder) and was lucky there was no one else coming towards me, otherwise it would have been a serious/fatal accident. The dealership looked at only to tell me there was nothing wrong with the Jeep and that I must did not know how to handle the vehicle on rough roads. My husband drove the Jeep for several months and nothing every happened to him. October 26, 2014....once again I was cruising down a highway doing 71 mph and the Jeep started bouncing all over the road......I did not hit a bump or anything. Again felt like the Jeep had 4 square tires and I ended up with 3 venti coffees all over the inside of Jeep. Several miles later crossing a bridge at 35 mph the Jeep started shaking all over again. I left word with the salesmans as to what happened and once again the Jeep went in only to be told there is nothing wrong with the Jeep. Today (Jan.9, 2015) my husband was driving the Jeep and crossed the same bridge when I had the first encounter with the shaking of the Jeep........now he believes me that there is something wrong with the Jeep. He called the salesman and told him what happened.......only to be told they would look into it. We are afraid to drive the Jeep because one of these times we will not be so lucky as to walk away from an accident......we are afraid of us and another family getting killed. What does it take for this to be checked into seriously........someone or a whole family getting killed?

The crack is about 6 inches long running laterally toward the driver side and originated right above the right defroster vent the crack has no external ridge and appears to be related to a body stress issue. The temperature was 20 degrees and the issue occurred at 3:20 pm.

On July 19th 2013 I was waiting for the light big garbage container truck hit my back and the force I hit infront of my vehicle injuring a passenger. This was a multi vehicle accident, I was in the middle hit from my back and my front hit infront of my vehicle. During this impact my vehicle's airbag did not deploy it. I complained to Chrysler, they issue a case#[xxx] and investigate the accident. According to Chrysler they send to technician to take a sensor data from my vehicle and send to detroit for further analysis. Couple of weeks ago I received letter from Chrysler group llc. The letter contents are the purpose of the airbag is to deploy in those impacts where the accident severity is great enough and the front-end crush cannot manage all of the energy of the impact and lower the longitudinal (front to back) deceleration in the occupant compartment to the desired levels. My case I have front and back impact, my vehicle alone $17000+ damage. Chrysler refused to release the report to me unless I have a legal representative. How can I find that airbag wasn't malfunctioning and what G-force that truck hit me. If you need any information regarding these accident I will assist you with best of my knowledge.
