| 2003 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | ALL LIGHTS ON VEH FLICKERED OFF FOR ABOUT 1-2 SEC TURNED ON AND THEN QUICK FLICKER THEN ON AGAIN AND REMAINED ON. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE THEN IT OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 3 OTHER TIMES WITHIN THE YEAR. LAST WAS JUST RECENTLY 1/20/2013 AND IT SHUT OFF FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME MAYBE 3-4 SEC. I WAS DISTANCE TRAVELING ON A HIGH TRAFFIC HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AND NOW SEE THE SAFETY CONCERNS. SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE ENTIRE LIGHT PANEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE AFFECTED. OTHER ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE OWNING THE VEH IN 2002 IS THE SIDE PASSENGER POWER LOCK NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, STILL DOES NOT FUNCTION. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW REGULATOR. IN 2007, THE GLASS JUST FELL DOWN ONE DAY DID NOT BREAK. PLACED A STICK IN DOOR PANEL TO HOLD UP GLASS AND FINALLY REPLACED IT IN 2011. *TR |
| 2008 | VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY | THE SKYSLIDER ROOF SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THE ROOF OPENED AS NORMAL BUT FAILED TO CLOSE WHEN BUTTON WAS CLOSED. ON INVESTIGATION OF THE ROOF TOP I FOUND THE SKY SLIDER ROOF HAD COME OFF THE TRACK. WHEN I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD ONLY REPLACE THE ROOF AT A COST OF 1500.00. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY PULL THE ROOF BACK INTO PLACE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE ROOF SYSTEMS AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT WIND NOISE AND THE SKYSLIDER FAILING AND CHRYSLER JEEP IGNORING THE PROBLEM. *TR |
