Sun visor just fell off the hinge as I attempted to lower it.

- Fall River, MA, USA

Rear Defroster failed and not covered under warranty even though the problem started while the car was under warranty. Their "fix" was to glue it back on but that didn't fix it. Now my car is out of warranty they won't fix it even though I have extended warranty from them that state that it covers electric window defoggers.

The sun visor at the attachment arm has broken twice now. When you go to move the visor while driving to block the sun which is impacting your vision, you now have a visor attachment break and visor is dangling by the wires in front of your face blocking your view and you get stunned that something has broken. There is no warning at all that is about to break. You have to immediately pull over and see if you can push it back up and get it to stay so you can have an unobstructed view. I search the web and there are many many many reports of this exact issue. The Jeep dealer fixed my visor so I thought I was good. Nope. It broke a second time 1 year later. This is going to be an ongoing potential safety issue if Jeep doesn-??t fix the issue. I am concerned that I could wind up in an accident when this occurs.

The driver's side sun visor has broken at the attachment point to the frame of the vehicle, causing it to spontaneously swing out of place and obstructing the view of the roadway. There was no excessive force applied to this part, and there are numerous reports of this online from hundreds of other vehicle owners. Obstruction of the driver's view of the road could lead to a fatal accident, especially given that the obstruction can be sudden and without warning. The component has not been inspected since the defect occurred. There are no relevant warning lamps, or messages.

Sun visor broke at the point where it attaches to the roof pillar causing the visor to fall in front of my face and block my vision while driving at highway speed.

Drivers side sun visor fell from hinge and is hanging by electrical cords. Sun visor spontaneously and repetitively smacks driver every time it drops back out of mount. Resulting in an obstruction of drivers field of view when operating vehicle. Tried to make a service appointment with several local dealerships but all advised of this issue not being a recall therefore not knowing of such problem. There are several incidents documented online in forums by other owners of the same sun visor equipment malfunctioning but no address of such issue by manufacturer. Dealerships seem to handle this issue on a case by case basis. However, sometimes the dealerships are replacing the faulty sun visor with the same faulty sun visor assembly and components - recycling the issue again as a quick fix.

One side of the The visor on the drivers side continues to fall out. Seems it-??s a compression based design.

- Ruskin, FL, USA

Both drivers and passenger side sun visors have fallen off at the hinge with minimal use. Vehicle is under 60k miles and bought new.

- Tuckerton, NJ, USA

Both of the sun visors became loose and the driver side in particular will dangle down in front of windshield, blocking vision. This is a common defect on Wrangler JL/Gladiators that is the result of a design flaw in the retaining mechanism. This can happen without notice and while driving at any speed. For me it happened on interstate that the visor fell down, blocking my view.

My driver's side sun visor does not stay in place while driving and pops out of its holder, even if the visor is folded up out of the way and not being used. When the visor pops out of place, it hangs by the wires for visor mirror lighting. I purchased my vehicle new Feb 2020, and my vehicle currently only has about 10,500 miles. The visor began popping out of place around April/May 2022. The visor popping out of place is dangerous because 1) it happens WHILE driving, especially over rough roads, and this obscures my view of the road (!!!), 2) it has happened multiple times, unpredictably, and 3) I cannot use the visor to block out bright light while driving because it falls out if I fold down the visor, which makes it difficult to drive comfortably around sunrise or sunset. On August 15th, 2022 went to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle (Autonation Jeep Bellevue in Washington state) to get this problem looked at as my vehicle is still under warranty. The service center confirmed the problem, as mentioned in the invoice, and they mentioned they would have to replace the entire sun visor assembly. However, I have not heard back from the dealer concerning replacement as likely the parts are on back order. The pictures I provided are for the visor popped out showing the visor popped out of place when it was supposed to be in the folded up, out of the way position, and the folded down position as well as the hinge that seems to pop out of place. According to different forums of owners of Wrangler JL like mine, visors popping out of place are frequent problems, and replacing the visor with the same visor assembly only temporarily fixes the problem because replacement does nothing about the bad design that leads to the visor falling out of place.

Sun visor - While driving on the interstate, the sun visor detached from the attachment point and obstructed my vision. I pushed the shaft back up and wedged it to get home. I will take it to the dealership to have the sun visor replaced.

- Lewisville, TX, USA

Drivers side visor fell from mount and dangled by wires in front of me while driving. I needed to hold the visor with my left hand while steering with the right until I could come to a safe stop. Not ideal when the sun is in shining into my eyes. I was able to jam the visor back in but it will fall out if I move it too much, so I dont use it. The dealer said they had never heard of it and wants me to leave it with them but that is very inconvenient and I dont expect them to fix it under warranty. The internet has many accounts of this happening and DIY modifications to fix it.

Driving on I-35 North (Texas) in the morning requires driving directly into the sun rise. I utilize my sun visor daily in order to maintain a safe view of the road, where people are frequently driving over 80 miles per hour. One morning on the way to work, I put my sun visor down so that I could see past the sun glare on my windshield. The sun visor then fell from its open position as I went over a bump in the road. At this point, the visor was hanging several inches lower than it normally does, almost completely obscuring my view of the road. The visor was not able to fall completely, because it was attached to the top of the car via electrical wiring. If it had fallen completely, I would have been in a much safer position. I needed to pull over ASAP but was unable to do so due to the construction on the highway and therefore had to hold the visor up with one hand while driving with the other until I could find a safe place to stop. The visor is still in the same state as it was when it initially failed. I have had to tape it up and am therefore unable to use it at all. There is no replacement part for the failed piece of plastic within the visor's housing. It requires replacement of the entire assembly, and that will contain the same part that failed in the first place. This seems to be a fairly common problem and has been discussed at length online, including at this website: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/sun-visor-fix.44865/

Windshield cracked in cold with defroster on from top of windshield down between steering wheel and rear view mirror. Upon research this is a common problem in the cold and could cause visibility issues in cold weather states.

- Chesapeake, VA, USA

I was driving down the interstate and the sun visor fell and obstructed my view. I had to manipulate it back to the clip to get it to stay out of my way, all while driving at high speeds and in traffic. Doing an online search I see where the visor is defective in many of these vehicles. Luckily I wasn't involved in an accident, but the potential was there as the visor broke and dangled in my view of the road at Interstate speeds. I found this image and mine looks the same. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/attachments/20190914_175938-jpg.228307/

The front window defroster only blows air onto the windshield in middle and most of the passenger side. I get no air flow to driver side. I took it into the dealer and they checked 3 others on their lot and they had the same problem.

- Franklin, IN, USA

Sun visor attach pivot point broke. Passenger side in October and the drivers side 0N 03/29/2021. This is something that will happen over and over again. Very bad design. It happened when I was driving into the sun and I lowered my visor and then the plastic shaft broke.

The windshield defroster doesn't reach the outer portions of the windshield which results in dangerous driving conditions in cold weather. I have to turn the heat all the way on high and the fan all the way up to the point where it is hurting my eyes and it still doesn't prevent ice on the left and right sides. I have to lean to the right to see through my windshield. This happens while sitting still, driving, etc. It happens anytime the weather is below freezing and there are wet conditions

- Arnold, MO, USA

Front windshield fails to defrost during cold driving conditions, allowing snow/ice to build up, directly impacting the driver's ability to see clearly out the front windshield. Vehicle was in motion, but has also happened when parked waiting to try and defrost so I could see clearly out of the front windshield. Defroster, on high full heat does not reach the left and right portions of the windshield.
