WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE GOING CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT ME TURNING THEM ON. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING, SITTING AT A LIGHT, SITTING AT A STOP SIGN OR PARKED WITH MY ENGINE ON.
HVAC HEATER CORE. AS I WAS ABOUT TO EXIT A MAJOR INTERSTATE, VERY HOT ALMOST BOILING WATER DRIPPED EXCESSIVELY ON MY RIGHT FOOT OVER MY GAS PEDAL. THERE WAS NO WHERE TO EASILY PULL OVER SO I HAD TO DEAL WITH IT UNTIL BEING ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT OFF OF THE EXIT. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND CHECKED BENEATH THE DASH. STEAMING HOT WATER WAS DRIPPING FROM NUMEROUS PLACES UNDER THE DASH, MAINLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE A VIDEO SHOWING THE STEAM FROM THE WATER AFTER IT SLOWED DRIPPING A BIT. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I COULD BARE WITH THE HOT WATER ENOUGH TO FIND A PLACE TO PARK AND IN ADDITION TO THAT I AM SO THANKFUL I WASN'T WEARING OPEN TOED SHOES OR SANDALS!. FURTHER DIAGNOSIS FROM A LOCAL TRUSTED MECHANIC REVEALED MY HEATER CORE NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I AM MOST DEFINITELY NOT PURCHASING A JEEP AGAIN AND WILL BE TRADING IT IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TT *TR
VEHICLES WIPERS WILL NOT STOP, EVEN IF SWITCH IS SET ON OFF! THEY'RE ON WHEN STARTING VEHICLE AND STILL ON EVEN WHILE DRIVING.
THE DOME LIGHT WHICH HAS SUN ROOF CONTROLS STARTED LEAKING WATER. IT POSES A SAFETY THREAT BECAUSE IT DISTRACTS THE DRIVER BY SPILLING WATER ON THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS IN THE VEHICLE WHICH HAPPEN TO BE ALIGNED WITH THE LOCATION OF LEAK.
