2014 Jeep Wrangler Wipers & Visibility Problems

The windshield wipers just stopped working. They worked two days before. Turned the car on, windshield wipers came up even though they were not turned on, stuck in the up position and stopped. Replaced motor & switch, checked the fuse and wiring, still not working. TIPM in it is bad and needs to be repaired or replaced. This is a known problem in the wranglers from 2008-2017 and causes other safety hazards. They have replaced them in other Chrysler vehicles, but not the wranglers. If this would have happened during a rainstorm or in other situations, this could cause someone to wreck.

CRACKED WINDSHIELD FROM SIMPLY TURNING ON MY DEFROSTER.. WAS DRIVING , WINDOWS FOGGED AND TURNED UP HEAT AND DEFROST. NEXT THING I KNOW THERE IS A HORIZINTAL CRACK FROM THE LOWER CENTER THAT THEN TURNS VERTICALLY TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE..UNBELIEVABLE!!

HEATER CORE PLUGGED UP WITH UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE OF FACTORY FILLED COOLANT, RESULTING IN POOR SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL OF WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. 1356.00 REPAIR.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHILE RAINING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK ON LOW OR HIGH. UNABLE TO GET PARTS FROM JEEP. WIPER SWITCH IS ON BACK ORDER FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. UNABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE IF THERE IS A CHANCE OF RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED TOO EASILY WHEN STRUCK BY OBJECTS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE ADHESIVE LAYER BETWEEN THE TWO LAYERS OF GLASS ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS NUMEROUS CRYSTALS THAT REFRACT THE LIGHT. THIS IS INTERFERING WITH VISIBILITY DURING LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS, ILLUMINATION BY HEADLIGHTS, OR WITH LOW ANGLE LIGHT FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES INCLUDING SUNRISE AND SUNSET.

DURING A SNOW EVENT ON JAN 3, 2015, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER (IT WAS SNOWING AND ABOUT 36 DEGREES). I COULD HEAR A CLICK COMING FROM BELOW THE FUSE BOX, BUT THEY WERE NOT WORKING SO I HAD NO VISIBILITY AND HAD TO PULL OVER. I PULLED THE FUSE FROM THE BLOCK THINK MAYBE IT SOMEHOW BECAME LOOSE AND REPLACED (WITH THE SAME) AND THE WIPERS STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I CONTINUED ON WITH MY DAY. ON JAN. 6, DURING ANOTHER SNOW EVENT, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS I PULLED OUT OF A 40 DEGREE GARAGE. THIS TIME I COULD NOT GET THEM TO START WORKING SO I NEEDED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A GARAGE. THIS IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND SO FAR THE EVALUATION HAS BEEN THAT THE WIPERS ARE NOW WORKING, BUT THERE IS A CODE DISPLAYED THAT THE WIPERS HAD A FAULT, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO REPLACE. I SURE HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN I'M ON A HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH NEXT TO A TRUCK THROWING UP ROAD SALT ONTO MY WINDSHIELD. *TR
