What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep wrangler 4x4. The contact stated that she could smell fumes entering the vehicle from the ventilation. The fumes caused the driver and any other passenger that entered the vehicle to become nauseous and endure headaches. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they advised that the failure was a normal characteristic for the particular model vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the removable hard top would flex when driving at approximately 30 MPH or higher.
I bought my 2012 jeep wrangler unlimited sport in november 2011. It was working just fine until the summer of 2012 when my wipers would turn on all by themselves for a few seconds, and then off again. This happened several more times during the summer. In addition, the radio would just power off. The only way it would come back on was to hit the top of the dash and it powered back on. Took it in and they flashed a module which stopped the wiper issue but not the radio problem. This was july 2012.
