What owners report
Seat belt light appears on dash even when I am Buckled. I went to see what the problem was and the specialist said the belt buckle was defective. The mechanic searched the part nationwide and was informed the part is not available. Iâm currently driving with a faulty driver belt buckle which is a safety concern.
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.
The Instrument Cluster Dash lights go on and off all by themselves. This is a common problem with many Jeep Wranglers. Upon checking recalls I found my Jeep Vin was not listed. This can turn into deadly safety issues, not only for me but other drivers in different vehicles. What if the panel lights go off at night and I reck causing injuries to people or property?
