Jeep Wrangler Change Vehicle

"Randomly, the buttons to change to different functions on the display screen become unresponsive until the vehicle is restarted. This makes it impossible to change any of the functions for systems not currently displayed at the time. The unit was replaced once which helped reduce the frequency, but didn't resolve the issue."

"Software update corrected"

"This is a well known problem with the radio/display (based on Jeep JL Facebook groups). The software has been upgraded by the service dept, and indeed the system crashes less often now (but still does from time to time)."

"The UConnect Apple/Android head unit makes a "popping" sound, then goes blank and resets the time and electronics. Jeep dealers are unable to fix this and we are tired of bringing it in for service."

"The radio bluetooth interface with my phone has occasional problems. It also had issues when plugged in with a cable. The cable issue was supposedly fixed with a software upgrade, but I really have not used this enough to know if it is fixed."

"The GPS system was unable to identify my correct location. Took it to the dealer and they indicated a software update was needed, but did not have any idea when the software update would be available. I found on a Jeep forum that there was a software update available, so took it back to dealer. They tried the software update and it crashed the system and they were not able to restore it. They ordered a new radio/GPS and replaced the entire unit, which solved the problem."

"Radio stopped responding"

"Only plays out of one speaker at times, when using apple car play."

"Radio connects with everything. Remote cell control of veh, rear camera, sos safety system. It is the central hub for all electronic services. It went out and was replaced after a 2 mo. Wait for the part. That didn't fix it. 3 months later and a dozen visits to finally find out the manufacturer put the wrong module in the Jeep. Jeep North America was finally involved and they weren't able to diagnose the problem or encourage the dealers to do much. Finally one.dealers mechanic figured it out. Keep did finally pay for a 2 day car rental and for the lost electronic services we paid for. The Jeep was out of service for repairs for a total of 21 days, intermittently."

"Sometimes there is a loud hum noise, louder than the music. Sometimes there is no volume at all, as if the radio is muted. This seems to happen about every two months."

"The clock on the radio loses time. It was on the 3rd time when I took it to another dealer I found out it is an issue & Jeep does not know why so consequently they have no fix."

"There was a major feature (“Off road pages”) missing entirely. It was finally implemented almost a year after purchase."

"On three occasions the radio began scanning stations and became unresponsive to the touch screen. We brought the Jeep to the dealer for service and they performed a software update. The problem has not reoccurred."

"Jeep won't support upgrading their 7" Uconnect system with their 9" Uconnect system, unless you purchase it from the factory that way. If you buy one off the lot, you cannot upgrade it. The upgrade takes 5 minutes to swap out the hardware. You only need a software code to make it work. Jeep/FCA will not support this."

"We were having trouble with the radio/uconnect display unit. The radio would begin cycling through channels and would not respond to the controls. We had to turn the Jeep off to get it to stop. The dealer applied a software update and the problem has not reoccurred."

"Speaker in the lower dash, on the drivers side, has a disturbing and obvious rattle. Even at low volume. It sounds like the speaker is blown or a plastic piece has broken off and fallen in front of the speaker grill."

"Left front speaker vibrates when people talk on the radio. To remediate, I have to turn off front speakers"

"loose bolts on the ball joint system"

"The jeep steering is sloppy. There is to much play in the steering."

"Warranty item. No problem with our vehicle, was a general recall."

"It was a problem known as "death wobble", fixed by under recall/warranty."

"Jeep recall for steering linkage. An additional steering dampner was installed. All is great now."

"A week or so after I got the Jeep it did what's known as the "death wobble" - the entire front end began to shudder uncontrollably after I hit an irregularity in the pavement on an entry ramp. It only stopped after I slowed down to a nearly complete stop. I had to raise quite a "stink" to get the dealership to address the issue, since their computer told them my vehicle was not covered under the bulletin that addressed the issue. Once they inspected the vehicle, they replace the steering damper with an upgraded unit and the problem was ameliorated. My issue was that this is a well known problem with the JL series Wranglers, but the dealership and FCA treated me like I was speaking Klingonese when I first tried to get them to address it. I don't like being "stonewalled" or treated like an idiot. I bought my first new Jeep (CJ5), so I'm more than vaguely familiar with them."

"Lose wiring harness caused power steering failed while driving"

"Steering wheel regularly goes off center and drag link needs to be readjusted"

"Got the death wobble on the interstate going between 75-80 mph after hitting a pothole. Scared the crap out of me"

"Death wobble, dealer fixed the problem"

"1 wheel or tire is not right. It vibrates at 70+ mph and causes slight steering wheel vibration. 2 dealers have not been able to pinpoint the issue."

"It had the infamous "Death Wobble". So far it has been fixed."

"recall did not fix vibration"

"Due to a faulty manufacturer ball joint"

"Passenger side mirror had air leaks that made it very loud in the cabin while driving on the expressway. Noise reached 92db with avg of about 80db. Jeep is aware and made a gasket to go between the mirror and the door. Noise is better but still not great. Avg is still about 68-70db."

"Squeaks from seat belt holders"

"Noise or rattle on the driver's side dash."

"Speakers rattle"

"Passenger side only; gets better with masking tape on the door seal"

"There is an unusual wind noise from the front passenger door/window. The dealer was unable to fix it. (This is NOT just the usual noise one expects from a Jeep)"

"It is just a noisy vehicle. Difficult to speak to or hear people in the back seat due to wind noise."
