Leather dash is bubbling and peeling which is causing dash mounted windshield defroster vents to be blocked. Blocked vents can not provide heat to the windshield causing ice build-up on the windshield during cold winter months. This results in blocked/impaired vision while on the roadway which could result in a crash. The leather dash has also bubbled over the passenger airbag which could affect the deployment of…

The leather covering on the dash closest to the windshield is pulling loose and buckling causing the defrost vents to pull up which is creating a problem defrosting the windshield. We have not used any type of cleaner or leather polish on this either. It is my understanding that the 2011 jeep's have this issue. I want to know what the manufacture is going to do about this issue.

The leather covering the top of dash under windshield has come loose, dislodging the defroster vent and blocking airflow from the defroster. Defroster vent cannot be reseated because of mis-shaped leather. While driving during early morning, condensation on windshield could not be cleared by defroster because no airflow was reaching the windshield on the drivers side. Had to pull off the road and pull the leather…

I took my 2011 grand cherokee to the dealer for the normal maintenance. However, there were a couple of recalls so i asked them to take care of them. Recalls were related to the fuel pump relay and to the sun visor (which apparently can short-circuit and cause a fire). There was a firmware update for the tipm also so i got that done too. 3 weeks later, i get on my car, i put the ignition to on and the wipers went…

Jeep refuses to repair the problem under warranty, and even denies that bend door failures are a common problem with jeeps, even though the internet is filled with…
