2020 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“At highway speed when hitting even a small bump or road irregularity, the Jeep experienced the notorious "death wobble". Oscillating shimmy and momentary loss of control. I discovered the steering damper was blown out on the track bar. After looking into the technical service bulletins, I found that I have the aluminum steering gear box described in TSB-08-074-20. I took my vehicle to the dealership to have this investigated and they agreed that the aluminum steering box caused the excessive force on the damper and steering components and needs to be replaced. However, since this is not covered under warranty, they are charging me for the repair of a well known and documented FACTORY DEFECT. I applied for goodwill repair and was denied. It is terrible that this should have been a recall and I am stuck paying the bill. But even more so, this is a SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE and is not a matter of if it will happen, but when it will happen. No one should be subject to losing control of their vehicle at highway speed due to a KNOWN DEFECT.”

“While driving, the entire digital instrument panel cluster suddenly short-circuited and went completely black, dropping all access to the speedometer and critical safety indicators. My vehicle has the 7-inch display. My independent repair shop diagnosed it as an internal short circuit and ordered a replacement Mopar factory part, which is currently on a 2-month factory backorder, leaving the car grounded.”

“The Hood Silencer Pad (68752887AA, 68292166AA, 68292166AC, 68292166AD) is made from insulating fibers that attract rodents. The rodents detach portions of the silencer pad which can result in loose material that could become a projectile on the highway or contacting hot engine components, potentially creating a fire hazard.”
