I have a recall for the electrical system due to a possibility of fire with or without the ignition on. I've called several dealerships to get this taken care of only to be told there is not a solution yet, that their waiting lists are backed up, that they can't help me, etc., and I cannot get in touch with the manufacturer. This recall is serious enough that they recommend not to park it near any structures in case the vehicle catches on fire. Obviously, this vehicle is not safe to drive. I am wanting options in terms of replacing the vehicle which the dealerships and manufacturer are not being forthcoming with.

Parking brake engaged and had to be manually overridden to disengage. Upon further research on the internet and taking apart the rear I found a water leak from the power liftgate and the electronic power brake module to be corroded.

There is still no remedy for my vehicle, the rain water got inside my vehicle and made the seats/ carpet moldy and still smells like mold after 3 interior cleanings and months of keeping up with cleaning. Water still gets through. The back tailgate doesn-??t work due to the recall and I-??m not sure what to do. I would like the manufacturer to take it back and give me the amount I-??ve paid for it through finance.

Vehicle recall has not been resolved in a timely manner. Liftgate does not open, preventing access to spare tire in case of emergency. Also poses a fire risk.

Emergency parking brake would automatically engage. Service parking brake message on dash. Could not flat tow vehicle due to this problem. Dealer replaced EPB module. Told me it showed corrosion. Still getting message after replacement. Further investigation showed water intrusion due to cracked body or leaking seal. Replaced wiring harness. I believe all of this is in same area that is in the lift gate recall and subject the same electrical fire dangers.

Safety recall 49A/NHTSA 23V-338. Fire hazard. Do not park in garage or near other vehicles. This was issued 5/11/2023 and has not been repaired. The restrictions make the vehicle nearly unusable. Try going to Wal Mart or church and not park next to another vehicle or park somewhere and find that another vehicle parked next to you. How long is a reasonable repair time? If they can't fix the vehicle maybe they should consider a buyback.

The -??service shifter-?? warning repetitively pops up on the dash obscuring speedometer while traveling including at highway speeds. Dealer says the shifter wiring harness must be replaced at a cost of over $300. This single Jeep dealer says they have had to replace the harness on hundreds of Jeeps & agrees that it should be a matter for mfg recall.

Service shifter light Service shifter light came on and gear shift lights are all red; Reverse, Park, Neutral, Drive. Then a warning message flashed to service the air bag system and the 4wd needs servicing. This has happened three times. The first time it happened was at a stoplight. The second time it happened I could not leave a parking lot. The third time it happened I barley got it toy destination to park it. I have researched that this tends to be a problem with jeeps.

No incident but ridiculous that Jeep/Mopar cannot find a remedy for this URGENT Fire risk after 3 years - it's time to fix this so the vehicles can be parked safely in doors - or not at risk when person is driving car.
