Recently reported VISIBILITY/WIPER problems on 2014 Jeep Cherokee

2014 jeep cherokee trailhawk 4x4 jan. 25 2019 7:00 a.m. remote started the vehicle because it was 56 degrees outside. drove the vehicle 10 minutes to place of employment. made it to place of employment parked the vehicle. 45 minutes pass, a customer enters place of my employment, as the customer enters they inform me that my rear window is shattered. there was no evidence of vandalism, criminal activity or natural disaster. only visible evidence, the window blew out where the defroster plugs attach to the window on both sides.

I was driving down the garden state parkway in nj around 6 or 7 pm when there was what sounded like an explosion. it turned out the rear windshield shattered while driving down the road. i did not see or hear anything hit the car and looking at the damage it looks like it is related to rear defroster because that is where the most damage is on each side.

The back windshield wiper, no longer works. it basically first just fell down over the tail light and when turned on, it would only cover part of the window. later it would drop further down. there are times when you could manually move it. but it no longer works when you try to turn it on normally. also the intermittent wiper settings for the front windshield , have not worked at all.

There have been several recalls on my vehicle since purchasing it almost 2 years ago. i've had to be inconveniently placed in a rental a couple times and pay a deposit out of pocket for something that wasn't even my fault. i contacted the dealer days after purchasing it to express my dissatisfaction, they were very unhelpful. one month after purchasing it is when i started needing to get the vehicle serviced several times. this latest recall, i have reached out to the dealer and the "earliest" appointment isn't until november. i called nhtsa customer service today to see if they could "speed up the process" but they too were very unhelpful. the person i spoke with expressed that the parts needed to fix this recall were all sold out and she wasn't sure when the parts would be coming in. now, i am stuck in an unsafe, faulty vehicle until it can get serviced to this recall. in the safety recall notice it states in bold, "the loss of motive power could cause a crash without warning." driving this vehicle in the condition that it's in and the potential safety hazard is life threatening. what exactly am i supposed to do now? i use this vehicle everyday and i am not the only passenger in it. i've contacted nhtsa before and submitted documentation of all the services the vehicle has had, and nothing was resolved on my behalf. i'm surprised legal action hasn't been presented to the manufacturer for these recalls and poor quality vehicles.

There are multiple recalls on this vehicle that are over a year old that can result in the vehicle become inoperable while driving. nothing seems to be happening to resolve these issues. two of the recalls can result in loss of power while driving.

Front windshield cracking.

When i turn wipers on high they shut off. chrysler said they are getting a new body control module. i have been waiting since june 2016. i feel it is dangerous and if they can't fix it they should give us s new car. i was driving to work in heavy rain and put my wipers on high and they quit!

Received two recalls, have been going to dealer for over 8 months to get them done, contacted jeep manufacturer, still no parts received. dealer says they have not received parts and to keep checking in, which i've persistently been doing for eight months to the point of frustration. it has been almost a year since the last two recalls were stated.in the meantime my defective parts continue to malfunction if used. an efficient and timely manner to get the recalls done has not been conducted by jeep and by fca us llc.

My jeep cherokee 2014 has 21181 mileage and the check engine light came on .i notice that the car was shifting into gear hard and at times would not accelerate when getting on the freeway . so my husband took it to get the oil changed at the dealership where we bought the jeep and they said everything looked good. well when my husband left all the dummy lights came on he turned right around and went back to the dealership ,the service manager came out and said the tech put the wrong oil filter on and that they would have to redo the oil change . on a month later the check engine light comes on so we call the dealership and ask if maybe them putting the wrong filter on that i would cause the check engine light to come on .the service manager said no that we would have to take it to jeep . it is still under warranty because it is under the mileage .but i looked on the complaint forum and seen many people having the same problem some having a hard time getting chrysler to help them . and almost all of them having the transmission replaced . i find that to be very disturbing considering i have only had the car for 8 months . i feel that the car should be replaced this is a dangerous situation that could cost lives . thank you .tacoma wa *tr

Composite material that makes up these windshield wiper sprayer nozzels must be defective, as they busted during freezing weather. while making a thanksgiving trip to the mountains my jeep was subject to freezing weather during the night. i allways keep approved window whiper solution (not water) in the wiper reservoir. however, these nozzels were not able to stand up to the freezing conditions and therefore busted. the dealer claims that it is my fault that someone (don't know who) put water in my wiper reservoir and therefore it is my fault! the dealer says that he will fix the proble for about $200.00, parts and labor. well great!,...(not!) so,...what happens the next time i go to the mountains??? i believe that the composite material (plastic) is defective for this vehicle and would like chrysler jeep to replace for free.

Traveling home on highway, snow fell hit the windshield causing it to crack - no point of impact whatsoever, just a crack that runs nearly across the entire bottom of the windshield (snow came off of passing semi-truck). contacted jeep to find out that the particular one i need is on national backorder with no eta and would not offer any additional information to me. complained numerous times and told by several people that i would get return phone call by said date/time with no follow up. still have broken glass on a car that is less than 1 year old and still no eta of when it will be replaced. both dealership and jeep customer care have not been helpful at all in getting this resolved. still feel as though this is a warranty/recall issue with the glass since there is no point of impact and because it is on national backorder with no eta (which no one is willing to explain why). *tr

On 1/30/15 while clearing snow off my 2014 cherokee, the wiper snapped back and left a major crack in my windshield that goes from edge to edge, and almost all the way up as well. the impact was not that forceful at all. i have now been waiting 26 days for a replacement as of today. on saturday 2/21/15 i spoke with somebody at a chrysler factory in detroit and they say they have over 900 of these particular windshields on backorder and may not be available till april. sounds to me like if they have that many backed up, there must be a fault or defect in the design or manufacture of this particular windshield. it has a built in wiper de-icer. only that one is not available, the windshield without that option is available. but since this an option i paid extra for, i want it back. again, is there any word on this being an ongoing issue? are these windshields defective, and is this recall material? *tr
