Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)This event occurred on 12/16/2022. The temperature was 30 degrees Fahrenheit and was snowing in Chicago. Upon turning on the defrost setting in the vehicle, the windshield began to crack and put the safety of the passengers at risk. Upon keeping the defrost on, the crack on the windshield contend to grow (larger than 6"). There were no previous cracks or damage to the windshield. There were no warning lights or messages indicating any issues with the windshield.
Heater core constantly “clogs” and no longer blows hot air on drivers side of the vehicle. Either through the defroster vents or floor vents, this makes it difficult to defrost the drivers side windshield or side window (can’t see side mirror!). Jeep wants me to spend &3500 to replace entire system!!!
Windshield wiper motor was making a grinding noise, then today, stopped working. It was raining/foggy, couldn't see to drive.
