Rubicon JL system within 30 minutes of the ignition beiNG turned off and attempted restart. MFG 10.2018

Additional Notes:

1) Compromised Battery (a battery purchased in August of 2021 from Interstate Battery|Camp Bowie Blvd|FortWorthTx) 2) Moritz Service Team explained some batteries (via the 3 manufacturers) can have a fail rate or be bad batteries 3) Moritz could not replicate extent of the issues we experienced with a collapsed electrical system on 02.24.2022. 4) Moritz could not explain why the 3rd party purchased battery was “discharged” completely after driving the Jeep and stopping for a short period resulting in the collapse of electrical system. 5) Moritz Team and GM had no explanation for the replacement of 3 batteries for this Jeep in a short period of < 3 years. 6) Moritz Team and GM suggested they have no knowledge of this Jeep product having these type of electrical issues. (See link: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2018/JEEP/WRANGLER/SUV/4WD%252520Later%252520Release#safety-ratings-frontal) 7) Moritz Service Team and GM recommended returning the battery to its place of purchase for a warranty trade in. 8) Moritz Service Team and GM proposed if a repeat of this event occurs that: A) Moritz Service Team provide a more expansed evaluation of this issue (requiring our solo mode of transportation to be in the shop for an extended period) B) Should Moritz Service Team be unable to identify and replicate issue: a STAR report be submitted to escalate issue to next level engineers for Moritz. As an update: We delivered the Jeep with the 3rd party purchased battery back to Interstate Battery as recommended (following our meeting). Multiple tests were performed and noted that the 12V 48 AGM 60 G-48 (SLI48AGMDP) battery registered each time above 775.

When you put the car in reverse the screen turns blue. Many drivers of this same vehicle has said they all experience a blue screen of death. I took it to a body shop today and they said it’s because of faulty wiring during manufacturing. A lot of jeep drivers are experiencing this same issue. Jeep dealers do not know what to do. Please issue a recall before someone gets hurt reversing their car.

Mount broke and the visor unexpectedly hit me on the left side of my head, startling me and and almost caused an accident. The wires from the HomeLink switch group was the only thing that stopped it from falling off. From reading online this is a pretty common problem. There are aftermarket parts to fix the problem.

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

Frame Welds failed, causing the lower control arm to completely detach from vehicle while driving on highway. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. Yes, my safety was put at risk. Dealer refused to acknowledge problem, did not wish to see photos or video. The repair was completed elsewhere. December 29th - While driving on the highway I hear a loud bang and pull over. Turns out my front lower control arm mount COMPLETELY BREAKS OFF my frame (See attached photos). I call my dealership (Zappone CDJR in Clifton Park NY), they can’t get me in for a few weeks due to their availability. I get a major favor and get an extremely reputable, nationally known, off-road manufacture to fix it for me. While I am there, they tell me - take it in to the dealership, a lot of your welds need to be looked at. Apparently someone attempted to touch up some of the welds by hand, but didn’t do a great job. I purchased this JLUR brand new, actually ordered it from factory so no outside work was done on it. Feb 21st - Finally get it in to the dealership, explain to them the situation and without even looking at it, I already get hit with the “well hopefully your lift didn’t cause it” by the service advisor (Jeff Coon). I even reference the TSB out about welds and get told “well TSBs aren’t covered under warranty its an out of pocket expense”. So I call the support center and get told the same thing frame is not covered under my extended warranty, and my standard warranty is out. Ultimately I get told “inspected frame from star cases and damage to frame is not a known issue and is caused by off reading abuse and aftermarket lift kit and would put pressure on welds. Technician found would not be considered factory warranty due to aftermarket lift kit installed.

Defect Description:

AIR BAGS

Potential Consequences:

When driving, at random times my dash lights all come on and the following components say that they're unavailable: ABS Electronic Stability Control Sway Bar Disconnect Stop/Start Blind Spot Alert I will then lose my power steering. My speedometer, RPM, and fuel gauges will drop to 0. This has happened both when driving around the neighborhood and while driving on the highway. I have been to two different dealers three different times and they have been able to reproduce and confirm the issue. But they have been unable to fix the problem. Researching the issue myself, I have found several examples of other owners having this same problem. Examples can be found on carcomplaints.com and jlwranglerforums.com. I don't know how many other cars must have this issue before action is taken by the manufacturer, but I consider the loss of power steering and the airbag system a significant safety issue. My vehicle is available for inspection at any time.
