We have classified the 7 complaints from 2018 Jeep Wrangler about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL into the following categories.
Have had the jeep for only 3 weeks now and on the second week the "engine light" turned on, took it to the dealership and was told it was due to not closing tight the gas cap tight when i put gas but the thing is that "i" had not even fueled it because i did not have the jeep long enough to need to fuel it up. the "sespension", steering is very wobbly to and from any where i drive it in town or city and more so when i drive it on the freeway, it is a task and sruggle; arms and hands are sore after i get home for me to try to keep it steady , if i do not stay focus and hold tight onto the steering wheel when driving it , the jeep will go on either to the left or right. i have to be very extra focused and careful when changing lanes as the manouver when doing so or streering to drive/changing lanes is not pleasant nor steady but wobbly and if i do not hold on tight to the steering wheel, the jeep will go off the road. the "breaks", when i break, the jeep is late in stoping, i have to calculate to break way ahead in order not to hit the vehicle in front of me also when starting back up from my foot on the break, it does not take off as soon as i let off the break as i expext it to but jerks instead taking time to drive on and move. also when turning to the right or left, the suspension feels like the street or road is really bumpy when its not. regret buying a jeep.
Just bought a 2018 wrangler jl leftover/ brand new off the lot. i immediately noticed that the steering is very loose and difficult to control. this is especially true in wind or if driving 55 miles per hour or more. my husband refuses to drive the car because he feels unsafe doing so. i get very nervous as well. i'm constantly having to adjust the wheel to stay on the road. the second issue is that sometimes when i set the cruise control it will just keep going past my designated speed i chose unless i turn it off. lastly my car seems to not shift gears down. it throttles and revs. when i took it to be looked at i was told it's no big deal. well it is! even my local mechanic said he feels that it's not switching properly between gears. i've waited 22 years to buy my first wrangler and i paid $42000 for it. it should not do any of this! it's brand new. it's also a safety hazard. i could get into a major accident! i need help with these things please. stand behind your product. this is my first wrangler but my 4th jeep. i also talked my mom and brother into buying new jeeps the same week i did last month! my contact is [xxx]. [xxx]. i'd like call back so someone can help me. thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tt
At 1/11/19 at 4:30pm,i was driving n bound at 35mph. i started to decelerate by letting off of the throttle- i was making a turn into a grocery store parking lot, when the throttle went to wot by itself. luckily the car is a manual- so i had to put it in a higher gear and release the clutch with the brake on to get it to stop.
Driving on highway, when trying to slow down and applying brakes vehicle was veering to the right. almost went off road and hit guard rail. vehicle also has an issue with steering on straight aways wants to wander all over highway, had tires/wheels/and alignment inspected everything came back fine no answer for why vehicle wanders and vehicle constantly goes right while braking
Operating vehicle in 4 low mode, descending a modest grade off road, experienced unintended vehicle acceleration when foot was off gas pedal
When turning into a parking spot on an incline, i had slowed to start the turn. i then let off the brake a bit to be able to roll into the spot. the car then accellerated into the wall at the end of the spot damaging my bumper, scratching the car next to mine and also the wall i hit.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that due to the proximity of the brake pedal, he inadvertently depressed the accelerator pedal. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the failure mileage was 654. *tt updated 11/19/18*jb
Cruise control "on" at appx. 55 mph - had to brake due to traffic - but, cruise control remained "on" - only heavy braking eventually stopped vehicle - cruise control was "fighting" the brakes - brakes "won" that battle. took it to dealer who could not find anything wrong. *tr
