What owners say about the visibility/wiper
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“I am reporting a defect with the driver-side sun visor on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The sun visor mounting mechanism is faulty and has broken/detached during normal use. When this occurs, the visor drops down unexpectedly and obstructs the driver’s forward view. This creates a serious safety hazard, as the visor can suddenly block visibility while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. The failure happened without excessive force or misuse, only routine flipping and positioning of the visor. I am aware that many other owners of 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited vehicles have experienced the same sun visor failure, suggesting a widespread defect in the design or materials used. This appears to be a known and recurring issue affecting multiple vehicles of the same model year. I believe this defect should be investigated as a safety-related issue and considered for a recall, as it directly impacts driver visibility and safe vehicle operation.”
“There is a water leak from the dash mirror that has not been repaired by the dealership 4 times that has been taken for the same issue. When it is raining, and vehicle is moving the water comes out of the mirror area and prevent a clear visibility in the traffic. It may damage the electrical connection that run by this area or and produces a metal corruption...”
“The passenger side Sun visor has broken off up inside the ceiling where it’s hinged so now it just drops down. It’s the same issue all the Jeep visors have. Jeep isn’t correcting the defect. They just keep putting the same problem out for the consumer to deal with over & over again & they’re being allowed to do that!!!”
“Driving my vehicle and around 20,000 miles had all lights come on. Lost power steering wind shield wipers randomly going off and then it goes away once powering off. I took it to my dealer and they worked on it and said nothing was wrong. A week later it happened again. This time the vehicle wouldnt turn back on for about 30 minutes. Going threw a round a bout I will randomly lose all control and almost crash. I have had at least 4 or 5 close calls do to no power steering and lose of traction control. No dealer or mechanic can figure it out. It is throwing 37 codes. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON THESE JEEP FORUMS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE SAME YEAR. NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. SEVERAL HAVE CRASHED. MY WIFE HAS ALMOST DIED WHEN SHE LOST TRACTION CONTROL IN A BLIZZARD. It has been months and now my vehicle is up to 42000 miles and its sitting there because now I'm to scared to drive it. It gets stuck in park and randomly powers down. This is a serious safety hazard and someone is going to get killed from a crash if this isn't addressed. All codes are related to ABS and CAN BUS but it has only fixed about 5% of the vehicles when they replace those parts. COME INSPECT…”
“Back window keeps exploding and it’s parked in a covered space. Temps have been ok nothing super cold . Only happens when I’m home. Nothing was take out of my car so it wasn’t vandalism cause I had 50 cash in the seat that fell out of my pocket.”
“The far driver and passenger sides of the windshield do not defrost in sub freezing weather. The windshield defrost duct vents are not adequate to force hot air to either side of the center vent. This results in windshield and wiper icing over in temperatures below ~20° F causing drastically reduced visibility 12 or more inches from each side of the windshield. The problem has been mush discussed on the JL Wrangler Forum at this thread: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/question-regarding-the-windsheld-defrost.15276/ Also described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlKtxsKZnI4”
